Sometimes I wonder if it's just becoz I miss her.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3366ff;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Anyways, I've come to realise I'm not just a gardener.. I'm also an expert bacteria and fungi cultivator! LOL *ahem* but I'll not elaborate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;O&lt;/span&gt;n to more important matters, I would like to tell the world that I opened a coconut all by myself the other day!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;(and I bow to those who applauded)&lt;/span&gt;. Althought as simple as it may sound to &lt;strong&gt;SOME&lt;/strong&gt; of you,&lt;span style="color:#c0c0c0;"&gt; it is a delicate task that requires extreme skills and precision&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666666;"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;(because I almost hacked my hand off).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#666600;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;You see, under normal circumstances, my &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;9th wonder of the world&lt;/span&gt; aka my dear mother prepare the coconuts for me and my family so usually I don't even lift a finger and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt; when I'm in &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Chickenhorsegoat&lt;/em&gt; City&lt;/span&gt;, or &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Doghead&lt;/em&gt; town&lt;/span&gt;, my uncles would help prepare it. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#9999ff;"&gt;So what does it take me and my pompous ass to have some coconut? Well I just catwalk in and drink my sexy coconut water like a&lt;/span&gt; &lt;strong&gt;king.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#003300;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;S&lt;/span&gt;o&lt;/span&gt; I realise &lt;span style="color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;how pampered I have been ever since I've had to take care of myself. &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY4ykNw7gzg&amp;amp;feature=related"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;color:#ccffff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;ALL BY MYSELF&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. And I have good news! For now, I have gained an appreciation for the fruit. I've very much fallen in love with coconuts for the flavor and what it represents.&lt;/span&gt; Persistant yet well liked. I haven't met anyone who's said &lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;"Coconut? No way!"&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ffcc00;"&gt;Everybody loves a coconut!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;L&lt;/span&gt;uckily,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;coconuts are awesome and can be grown anywhere! Not just on lonely islands as usually depicted in the media.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#333333;"&gt;But if in case you are stranded on an island and you're lucky to have coconuts around, &lt;span style="color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;better hope you've got some sharp tools coz it ain't an easy fruit to open!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;color:#003300;"&gt;If a tomato is a fruit coz it has seeds.. then what bout.. &lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;((grins))&lt;/span&gt;..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;I'm listening to..&lt;br /&gt;Soler - 媽媽再見&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181066246667048987-7492199902482900594?l=themachogardener.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/feeds/7492199902482900594/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/2009/06/bueno-day.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181066246667048987/posts/default/7492199902482900594'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181066246667048987/posts/default/7492199902482900594'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/2009/06/bueno-day.html' title='Bueno Day~'/><author><name>Perngs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14961105119371132656</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1f3uw20vom8/Sed4BcRmhFI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/A2AO_I0k-co/S220/Thestonerscover.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1f3uw20vom8/SiwVvTtf-4I/AAAAAAAAAIY/UR1hJwLqbAk/s72-c/lionpig.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181066246667048987.post-5833184120555614261</id><published>2009-05-21T02:46:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2009-05-21T14:51:00.340+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Megaton'/><title type='text'>wasd first</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#ffff99;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Good morning!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;I&lt;/span&gt;f, just in case you've noticed a missing entry bout a snake. That's been removed. A suggestion from my &lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;The Lady Octopus.&lt;/span&gt; But I have no qualms, so we'll leave it at that. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:78%;"&gt;Just lemme sleep on it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;So by demand, I will post a new entry.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;A&lt;/span&gt;nd this entry would be dedicated to my brother &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Red Ryder BB&lt;/span&gt; aka &lt;span style="color:#003300;"&gt;Nunjaks&lt;/span&gt;, a deadly weapon designed and invented by the legendary Bruce Lee.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;E&lt;/span&gt;ver heard of the phrase "&lt;span style="color:#cc9933;"&gt;he ain't heavy, he's my brother&lt;/span&gt;"? (FYI Nunjaks is over &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;226&lt;/span&gt; lbs or &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;103&lt;/span&gt;kg). So that you get an idea of how lovable Nunjaks actually is, my mom's nickname &lt;span style="color:#000066;"&gt;The Lady Octopus&lt;/span&gt; was also given by Nunjaks when he was a kid, coz &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;"mom seemed to be able to catch us when we're misbehaving and no matter how we struggle, we can't get away!"&lt;/span&gt; lol He was a real &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;joker&lt;/span&gt;! A real cheerful and cute kid. He'd brighten up the room with his presence. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Courier New;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;e'd do all sorts of silly things, we even had our own secret club we called &lt;span style="color:#999900;"&gt;The Desire's Accomplice Club&lt;/span&gt;. One of the activities of the club was a fund raiser, to raise enough funds to buy our own personal computer.&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt; We never raised enough before I left the club. I've always felt sorry for letting him down.&lt;/span&gt; And after that incident, our relationship went downhill.. and it was all my fault. I was pushing people away.. especially my brother. Whatever I did.. I'd push him further and further away as we got older.. &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;I was becoming negligent, selfish, hot tempered, greedy, and &lt;/span&gt;irresponsible &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;to him as his big bro&lt;/span&gt;. I've no idea what came over me.. &lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#6633ff;"&gt;I still don't know why I did it..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;W&lt;/span&gt;ell, fa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;st forward &lt;span style="color:#993300;"&gt;ten&lt;/span&gt; years and I'm more matured I dare say. I believe in change now. And my mission among other things is being the best brother in the world (&lt;span style="color:#330033;"&gt;for&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#ccccff;"&gt;Kaibrutus&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Nunjaks&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#99ff99;"&gt;Tetsuo&lt;/span&gt;). Well I dunno if it's too late but I guess I'll never know if I don't try.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#9999ff;"&gt;I just hope I'm not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Nunjaks, this one's for you!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff0000;"&gt;Cheers&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:85%;color:#ffcccc;"&gt;I'm listening to..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - &lt;strong&gt;Symphony No. 25 in G minor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181066246667048987-5833184120555614261?l=themachogardener.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/feeds/5833184120555614261/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/2009/05/wasd-first.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181066246667048987/posts/default/5833184120555614261'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181066246667048987/posts/default/5833184120555614261'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/2009/05/wasd-first.html' title='wasd first'/><author><name>Perngs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14961105119371132656</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1f3uw20vom8/Sed4BcRmhFI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/A2AO_I0k-co/S220/Thestonerscover.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181066246667048987.post-2906145486058131247</id><published>2009-04-10T06:29:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-06-08T14:23:06.095+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vault 101'/><title type='text'>629-100409 #1</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;I ponder as I listen to the clock tick away, as I clean and arrange the last of the items on my altar.. there is peace in religion.. a new feeling, an experience.

I had a wanting.. I wanted a &lt;strong&gt;scar&lt;/strong&gt; across my face just like those comic characters I see. I thought I'd look awesome if I had a trademark scar across my face.&lt;/em&gt; Heroic!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Fast-&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;forward 15 years, I got what I wanted. Well, I guess I can't say I'm all sad because I'm a little excited to see what it's gonna look like.. Of course I went to a plastic surgeon to make sure it'll look like what I had in mind, and he helped me modify the alignment of the lining of the scar a lil too!&lt;/em&gt; Dynamite!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Now we backtrack 10 years, when I was still in highschool (okay, so I lied to some of you bout me never going to school before). When I was so crazy about basketball and all that&lt;/em&gt; NBA&lt;em&gt; craziness and&lt;/em&gt; Michael Jordan &lt;em&gt;Era, I had another wish. I had always wanted to bald my head ((grins)) but it never happened coz I was a real mommy's boy and mommy didn't approve. Well, I'm still a mommy's boy but now I've a real valid reason to shave it off! &lt;/em&gt;hohoho&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Although I'm all &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;manly &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;and &lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;macho&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt; now, I guess the little boy is just a part of me that'll won't grow old. I may know how to run and jump but I'm still gonna want to walk most of the time and occasionally crawl all over the ladies ((winks)).&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;That's killing two birds (scar and hairdo) with one stone's throw (car crash) my style.&lt;/em&gt; Easy&lt;em&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm listening to..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Amy Mcdonald -&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;This is the life.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181066246667048987-6041249456757174502?l=themachogardener.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/feeds/6041249456757174502/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/2009/04/crunch-time.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181066246667048987/posts/default/6041249456757174502'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181066246667048987/posts/default/6041249456757174502'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/2009/04/crunch-time.html' title='Crunch Time.'/><author><name>Perngs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14961105119371132656</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1f3uw20vom8/Sed4BcRmhFI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/A2AO_I0k-co/S220/Thestonerscover.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181066246667048987.post-3687546291186118533</id><published>2009-04-06T01:56:00.010+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-06T03:02:23.986+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vault 101'/><title type='text'>Accidents do happen</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:180%;"&gt;on the road.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;When I woke up, the feelings I had was invigorating. It was reassuring. It was comforting. You don't care how you look, you're just glad to be alive. Perhaps, I should just speak for myself. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;First thing I did after regaining consciousness was to check &amp;amp; see if I still had my hands &amp;amp; fingers &amp;amp; then my feet &amp;amp; legs. Making sure I still had control of all my limbs. I didn't even bother with my face. I must admit, I am a vain-pot &amp;amp; I do rate my own looks rather highly, shameless of me to say (&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;all for the greater purpose of blogging&lt;/span&gt;). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;Instead, I am surprised, in hindsight, that I couldn't care less for how I looked regardless the amount of blood oozing from my head. The whole backseat of the Myvi I was in was soaked red &amp;amp; (&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;so was my friend's shirt who pulled me out of the wreck&lt;/span&gt;). Next thing I did after I thought I was okay, was to check on the others, the driver and the front passenger, both were fine (&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;not a scratch even&lt;/span&gt;). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;Not aware that I was the sole contributor to the bloody mess, I was consoling my friend (&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;the driver who was obviously in shock&lt;/span&gt;) &amp;amp; walking about being my usual bossy-self making sure everyone was okay. Doing my best to keep everyone from worrying, not aware that I was the source of their worries &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;((grins)).&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;I have a wound on my forehead measuring about 5 inches starting from the top of my right eyebrow right above the bridge of my nose going diagonally upwards &amp;amp; into my hairline, two inches. There was no pain. I felt a sensation, but it wasn't pain. Perhaps I had no time to be in pain. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;"&gt;Well, I have got lotsa time now, lying in bed.. &amp;amp; I feel it now &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;((cringe))&lt;/span&gt; &amp;amp; blogging doesn't help.. I still have too much time/too much pain. &lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;The freeloaders don't help.. they're an extra pain in the ass..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181066246667048987-3687546291186118533?l=themachogardener.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/feeds/3687546291186118533/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/2009/04/this-is-life.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181066246667048987/posts/default/3687546291186118533'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181066246667048987/posts/default/3687546291186118533'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/2009/04/this-is-life.html' title='Accidents do happen'/><author><name>Perngs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14961105119371132656</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1f3uw20vom8/Sed4BcRmhFI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/A2AO_I0k-co/S220/Thestonerscover.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181066246667048987.post-6981955960732023022</id><published>2009-03-29T21:23:00.003+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-29T22:28:30.496+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vault 101'/><title type='text'>The Sexth Sinse</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;I was gonna blog bout women but I just came out of a argument with a colleague who took the time and effort to cook some spagetti and pasta for dinner. After some tasting I decided to add more extra light virgin olive oil, which prompted him to comment on my behaviour. With a constipated face asking me in a nice and well mannered tone if his cooking was under par, which I denied knowing very well his taste. I responded that it was my natural taste to prefer a heavier virgin olive oil flavor. No arguement yet. Instead he decides to share a story:-&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;In a restaurant which he was previously working at, there was an incident whereby the customer behaved in a similiar manner as I did by adding or in his words 'pouring' chilli sauce and handfuls of salt (I think he was exaggerating). Upon seeing this, the cook kindly asked the customer if his cooking was bad or under expectations, to which the customer promptly denied and explained his peculiar taste and preference for such unusual taste. In response the cook proceeded to politely ask the customer to leave the restaurant premises with the meal on the house.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;My immediate response was "Which restaurant is this?". The answer that followed was "Why?". I explained that I wanted to know because I felt this was in my opinion bad service. My colleague however, appalled by my reaction to his story explained carefully how polite the cook was in asking the customer to leave. I think it doesn't matter how polite the cook was, this was bad service nonetheless for the customer is always right. A key principal for any service oriented busineses. This lead to a heated arguement with my colleague and my cousin even who was present being annoyed and in an apparently bad mannered exit to the conversation. Which I feel was because due to my overwhelming arguement.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;My question is, am I so wrong to think that the customer was being really polite and understanding to not even complain to the cook for such a tasteless dish? I think it would've only been an insult to the cook had the customer take one bite, and asked for the bill and leave.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;In the end, I still don't know which restaurant this was, for I would never visit such a restaurant with such loose customer service regulations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181066246667048987-6981955960732023022?l=themachogardener.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/feeds/6981955960732023022/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/2009/03/sexth-sinse.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181066246667048987/posts/default/6981955960732023022'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181066246667048987/posts/default/6981955960732023022'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/2009/03/sexth-sinse.html' title='The Sexth Sinse'/><author><name>Perngs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14961105119371132656</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1f3uw20vom8/Sed4BcRmhFI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/A2AO_I0k-co/S220/Thestonerscover.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181066246667048987.post-6870484513885783576</id><published>2009-02-16T14:31:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2009-06-08T15:28:41.684+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Vault 101'/><title type='text'>A bottle cap.</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1f3uw20vom8/Siy9oNs2YVI/AAAAAAAAAIg/5d1YVYxnfQY/s1600-h/Thestonerscover.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 238px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5344855356352127314" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1f3uw20vom8/Siy9oNs2YVI/AAAAAAAAAIg/5d1YVYxnfQY/s320/Thestonerscover.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;color:#ffcc00;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;color:#ffcc00;"&gt;24th March&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I had originally wanted to post this blog on the &lt;span style="color:#ffcc00;"&gt;16th of Feb&lt;/span&gt; after my Singapore trip. Unfortunately, an awaited opportunity knocked on my door and I was headed to Johor even before I was back, and I couldn't say no for more than one reason. I had no internet whilst in Singapore nor did I in Johor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;I'd apologize for not updating my blog often enough but then I'm not the man that apologizes. If you're thinking of asking for an apology.. Finish!

To recall the day I find out what all the buzz about &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Geyland&lt;/span&gt; is about, particularly the T-junction where &lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Lorong&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Geylang&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#cc0000;"&gt;8&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span style="color:#330099;"&gt;Thelma&lt;/span&gt; St meets, landmarked by a &lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;Hotel 88&lt;/span&gt;.

It's already Febuary 9th 2009! &lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#333333;"&gt;*sheepish grins*..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I recently met a friend of mine and it got me thinking "Wow, it's been 10 years!" then I watched a Chicago Bulls video and it got me thinking "No way? It's been 10 years!" and then I come back to my blog and I go "Sundried tomatoes! One week short of two months already!?".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Okay. So now I'm back to feed you hungry people deprived of my wisdom. First and foremost, for those of you who didn't know, I am a &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#660000;"&gt;Descendant of the&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#990000;"&gt;Dragon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Hence, during Chinese New Year gatherings, gambling is must, it is a &lt;strong&gt;tradition&lt;/strong&gt;. Actually, the only other time I gamble is against the Law, parking my car in illegal spaces risking a 5 minute offence of up to 80 buck of summons.. I win most of the time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So thanks to a friend of mine, Enis Ang, I've recently acquired the knowledge to play Poker, which is a real tricky game that involves alot of luck. In fact, more than any other card game if you're asking me. Initially, before I started playing, I watched quite a few videos and read the definitions of the game from online poker sites, I got the impression that it was a card game involving alot more skills than luck. This is because a crucial part of the game is to &lt;strong&gt;bluff&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, after I've done my research and watched thousands of pro poker videos &lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#333333;"&gt;(all the bluffing)&lt;/span&gt;. I try my hand and realise &lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#333333;"&gt;(maybe coz I'm playing with noobs)&lt;/span&gt; that it's just all luck in the end. I won the first and second time I tried Poker &lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#333333;"&gt;(bluffing all the way)&lt;/span&gt;. Then at an open house at a friend's house just a couple of nights ago, I lost it all. &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Easy come easy go&lt;/span&gt; huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Good things in life never comes easy&lt;/span&gt; that's what I say.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6181066246667048987-5312357313352649242?l=themachogardener.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/feeds/5312357313352649242/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/2009/02/blog-post.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181066246667048987/posts/default/5312357313352649242'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6181066246667048987/posts/default/5312357313352649242'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://themachogardener.blogspot.com/2009/02/blog-post.html' title='Let&apos;s make it a good year!'/><author><name>Perngs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/14961105119371132656</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1f3uw20vom8/Sed4BcRmhFI/AAAAAAAAAHQ/A2AO_I0k-co/S220/Thestonerscover.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6181066246667048987.post-7734308584817562784</id><published>2008-12-18T16:45:00.007+08:00</published><updated>2008-12-19T04:21:45.412+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Megaton'/><title type='text'>What is most important to a man?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;Good evening&lt;/span&gt; dear &lt;em&gt;readers&lt;/em&gt; and&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:180%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;fans&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;Yesterday&lt;/span&gt; as I stumbled into Andale, I met two men, &lt;strong&gt;Mr Wilson&lt;/strong&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;strong&gt;Mr Smith&lt;/strong&gt;.

post, an introductory post. &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;To allow&lt;/span&gt; readers and/or my &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;fans&lt;/span&gt; to get &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;cosy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; with my awesome style of self obsessed* writing patterns.&lt;br /&gt;*(&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I Feel&lt;/span&gt; its okay to be self obsessed only because &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I believe&lt;/span&gt; we will not &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;truly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; understand love or be able to love and/or love others unless we learn to love ourselves the &lt;strong&gt;most&lt;/strong&gt; first).&lt;br /&gt;To make things &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;clearer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, my theory is that I'd be &lt;span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"&gt;DYNAMITE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;happy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; to see a loved one live well, even if it is at my &lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;expense&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; because as long as I have &lt;strong&gt;knowledge&lt;/strong&gt; of their happyness I would &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;truly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; be happy myself, because I love myself, naturally. &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"&gt;Simple.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I'd&lt;/span&gt; like to &lt;em&gt;briefly&lt;/em&gt; explain the &lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;origin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; of the description in &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;my profile.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;I BELIEVE&lt;/span&gt; my fascination with &lt;span style="font-family:times new roman;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;science &amp;amp; arts&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; both started at the same time, when my father came home from a trip in &lt;em&gt;Europe&lt;/em&gt; &amp;amp; gave me a &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;model&lt;/span&gt; of a flying contraption shaped like &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;a pigeon&lt;/span&gt; invented by&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mos.org/leonardo/bio.html"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"&gt;Leonardo Da Vinci.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Before that, I had &lt;em&gt;only&lt;/em&gt; always known the &lt;em&gt;great&lt;/em&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Renaissance man&lt;/strong&gt; as &lt;em&gt;just a painter&lt;/em&gt;.
