Sorry fellow bloggers and dear readers Bananaz is going on hiatus as advised by ma lovely ophthalmologist after the double shot of RED eye pre-CNY has affected Bananaz right eye which posed a challenge to focus too long on the computer screen. Would be out of action for a while as not to stress too much but hopefully can steal some time blog hopping and littering ma peels. Not too sure whether the focusing caused the splitting headaches or the CNY heat. Will need to get a new set of spectacle lens once the red eye is fully recover to go full swing again. In all honesty, I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky and I swear like the shadow...

We are named after this beloved fruit,
Whose skin outside is yellow to suit,
Whose fruit inside is white as off-white could be,
How? You might wonder, did this stereotype come to be?
Well, we too, sport a yellow skin,
But our tongues wag white, which is not in kin
“If you don’t speak Chinese….,” so they say,
“You are not Chinese enough!” and that’s the way.
Our own kind deem to treat us like weed,
And that hurts very much indeed,
We dream of a nation united, is always the case,
But how could that be, when united we are not as a race?
Call us whatever name you like,
Banana People are strong as a dyke,
Within us, there is NO colour divide,
Within us, UNITY will reach far and wide.
