Smelly Worry

Yup I love durians but no thanks, I don’t wish to smell like one.

I’m not trying to be divas, but I will try to use fork and spoon whenever possible when I eat durians.
For one and only one reason, I don’t seem to be able to get its sharp smell off my fingers easily.

I had to go back to the tap again and again after last-last feast to wash my hands to a point being falsely perceived as a hygienic freak.
Make no mistake, I’m somewhat a hygienist, just not a freak ; )

I tried almost everything ….
Well, may be a little less than almost everything
Errr….. may be just half of everything …
Errr… ok la, may be just a few pathetic tries …
:p

First, I washed with tap water available at the Pasar Tani. Of course the smell of the king of fruits was still there.

Logically then when I reached home, I re-washed with soap several times. To no avail, the smell was still around.

Then I cut my fingernails short to kill any stubborn residues that might be stuck in-between. Still not working.

I was getting a bit paranoid with the cleaning at this point already.

I reached out to the bottle of Dettol placed on our loo's shelf and washed my hands.
Smells like a sick fella still a better option eh?

True enough the smell went away but only for a while. After the Dettol smell worn-off, the durians came back.

Arrggggghhh!

After exhausted almost all sane ideas that I could think off then, I grabbed my dishwashing liquid…
Yuppie!

Problem solved!
