ITS RAINING MANGOES

This year, due to dry weather
all the mangoes trees are having a good harvest.
Been staying in Tampines for almost 3 years now
Its the 1st time that I notice the abundance of mangoes
hanging from the trees.

In fact, i've never know they are mango tress

the picture below is one of the mangoes trees
but consider to have a bad harvest in my opinion.



Just walk along the street to Tampines Mall.
You will see the whole street are 'decorated' with mangoes.

There is this particular tree, Emma pointed out
"Look at that its a Mango X'mas Tree"
with that its easy to imagine how it look like.
hasnt got a chance to take a shoot of that xmas tree thou

we been wondering what is going to happen to those mangoes
is it going to gone to waste?

But there is good news now.
NDP will be harvesting this mangoes for charity.
Isnt that nice? Read about it here.

on a side note:
these mango tress are planted on the road side
and i do notice some of their branches are not prun
hence its literally hanging mangoes above the road and traffic
what happen if the ripen mango fell off and hit a passing vehicle
cause a shock to the driver and resulting in a traffic accident?
hehe maybe i have think too much!

Irene was asking me why mangoes huh? How come not durians?
Gal ar.. you wan to risk getting hit by durians meh?!LOL..
