EDISI ANEH : Air laut di sekitar Pulau Pinang berperisa limau

GEORGE TOWN: She is not a damsel in distress, but a hopeful maiden in a quest for Mr Right.

“Will I get a call? Maybe, maybe not. But I’m still going to write my name and number on a mandarin orange and throw it into the sea to see what luck will bring me,” said Penangite Amy Ong, 25. The office executive has been throwing mandarin oranges into the sea every Chap Goh Meh and this year, she plans to scribble “Call me!” on her fruit of passion.


Sarah Gee, 24, is also going to throw her orange tonight, name and number included.



“I am seeing someone now, but who knows what my luck will bring this year,” said the executive, her eyes twinkling.
For centuries, Chap Goh Meh (literally “15th night” in Hokkien) was the only evening when eligible Chinese girls were allowed to dress up and stroll along the streets.

So it was the only evening when young bachelors got to check out the neighbourhood girls. The young maidens would throw oranges into the sea to bring them luck in getting good husbands. This tradition has taken on 21st century twists and turned into a commercialised spectacle, a source of enjoyment nevertheless. Straits Quay, a mainstay of the festivities, has gone to the trouble of arranging a bevy of bachelors, arming them with scoop nets for the evening.

A bachelor who scoops an orange and the girl he successfully calls will receive prizes from Straits Quay.

Aku tak puas hati betul dengan hal ni, patut la kat Penang ni ikan dah makin pupus .. mungkin pedih mata kena kulit limau.

Apa pe pun, inilah negara kita ..kaya dengan budaya yang pelik-pelik dan kejadian aneh seperti hilangnya pesawat besar padang bola tanpa dikesan dan juga kehebatan kualiti DNA dalam air mani manusia yang mampu bertahan lebih 50 jam..

Negara kita kaya dengan sopan santun dan budi bahasa, walaupun hak rakyat disamun dan fikiran rakyat diperlekehkan, kita masih mampu rileks mcm tak de apa-apa.

~anya~

Ummah pulau penang memang pakat2 rasa air laut sekitar pulau ye?
