1, 2, 3....TOSSSSSSSSSSSS! Yes, toss those juicy oranges into the river! Why? Because today is Chap Goh Meh, or the 15th night of the lunar new year. So? For those uninitiated, today is D-day when the girls will find their one true love. Or what we used to believe. If you are a girl and still (desperately) looking for your Mr. Right, tonight you should get your oranges ready. Yes, not only today marks the end of our Chinese New Year celebration, but it also signifies the Chinese Valentine!
Yeah! Your hopes!!!
Tonight...your wait could be over...And to make sure, their so-called potential life-partners would be able to contact them, many would write down their names and contact numbers on the oranges before tossing them into the lake where the eligible bachelors (preying horny guys) will be waiting with their enormous fishing nets in hand to scoop up those fruits! Ha :D For additional fun, other fruit such as bananas are also tossed into the lake! How about durians?
Your search for happy ending?These days, the tradition is carried out in the spirit of fun with several organizations hosting these oranges-throwing event in Malaysia! I bet they are the orange suppliers huh! Just kidding. So ladies~prepare your boxes of oranges; Men~prepare you nets to scoop up the oranges. Don't miss this golden opportunity to end your single-hood ok. I hope you will be able to find your Mr. or Mrs. Right and will end up happily ever after.
P.S.: Anyway girls & ladies, please be careful okay. You'll never know who you'll meet. Just don't put yourself in a risky situation. Patience my friends, is a virtue.

Baby-->Hmm...so you are not going to throw it? Because you have found you Mr. Right! =)
I read your post too late otherwise I would have grabbed my camera there. I used to see such orange throwing events in Penang when I was a kid. I think it started from there.

tekkaus, thanks for your comments on my blog. I checked your blog and see that you are doing very well already. Also lots of comments! But if you are thinking of making money from your blog, comments don't really matter, so you may want to switch your priorities to bringing more traffic to your blog and improve your blog's Page Ranking instead of increasing comments : )

i hope throwing imaginary oranges at each other doesn't bring trouble. :p i wonder what happens if 1 guy scooped up more than 1 oranges, does it mean he is destined to be both their mate? *flees*
