I have decided to officially withdraw my endorsement of the Perlis Harumanis mango. I had spent 5 years or more nurturing trees and raising them in the compact space which is my yard, and had gotten the knack of it. Although this type of mango is expensive, I was more into the research and endorsement of it. My baby mango trees, though growing in peat pots, had become thick, strong, heavy and dark green. I managed to fit at least 30 trees in my front yard, and it was looking like I was seriously able to make a productive mango farm. This land belongs to my aunt, and she wants me to remove the mango farm. At first my usual stubbornness activated, and I didn't relish the thought of giving up on my attempt of making a "halal" (lawful) income. Then I realized, "What if I were successful?" 30 trees bearing quality fruit means about 20 grand a year income! Of "halal" money! That would certainly attract greedy relatives. So I saw my aunt's logic, and I will destroy the mango farm. But more than that, I'm supposed to be a chick singer, not a mango farmer. It dawned on me that I'm actually too lazy to maintain a farm. I would rather be making love to my beautiful wife.
