NEVER GIVE SPOILT THINGS TO PEOPLE

Believe it or not, the Kuih Kapit or Love Letters (a type of Chinese New Year biscuits) above were given to me by my neighbour in Sitiawan as a reply new year gift.  Initially I thought that only one or two were burnt or badly made but I found that almost all of the biscuits were like that.  Even a couple of the mandarin oranges that she put in the plastic bag to give to me were spoilt.  Only the small plastic container of arrowroot chips were edible but still a bit overfried.
Etiquette-wise, this is a very discourteous act.  In the gift bag that I gave to her, I didn't give any rotten or damaged food as I went to buy the two packets of groundnuts, a pack of red dates, a packet of biscuits and mandarin oranges from the supermarket a few days before giving them to her.  Aiyoh!  I think I was given the bits and pieces of the kuih kapit that were not deemed fit to be sold.  Yeah!  She made biscuits to be sold to people at RM19.00 for a hundred pieces.  I don't think I will be giving her any Chinese New Year gifts next year as I do not want to get spoilt things in return as they give off bad vibes and also bad Feng Shui.
