Woodcutter

Two of the finest woodcutters in a small village challenged each other to a competition. Their task was to chop as much wood as possible in a day.

The first men quickly gather his best axe and started chopping his wood. Determined to outclass his competitor, he vowed that he would continued chopping all the way within that day.

While he was furiously chopping his wood, his competitor often took breaks and was in a relaxed mood. After the day, the two men came together again and the first man was shocked that he had lost to his competitor by a huge amount.

The first man asked his competitor," How it is possible for you to chop more wood than me given that you have so much rest? I've worked my butt off and even used the finest axe that I have"

His competitor replied, " While you were furiously chopping away, I took breaks. What you did not notice that during my breaks, I sharpened my axe. "



Ask yourself, what have you been doing during your rest time? A good reminder to myself.

Dragon Fruit Story

I feel like an uncle today at the supermarket, let me tell you why.

After having my dinner, I went to the supermarket to get some fruits. The thought of buying dragon fruit did not cross my mind until I saw one of the workers refilling the dragon fruit section. At that time I only wanted to buy apples or oranges. The dragon fruit was going about 2.90 for two pieces and I was quite reluctant to buy since nobody really wants to share it with me.

I walked one round around the shop and came back to the same section. This time I noticed that not only the price of the dragon fruit was lesser, 1.90 but it was for three pieces. :D

And that is the story of how I ended with 3 dragon fruits in my fridge now. hehee

Cheap thrills :P E said i'm acting more and more like an old uncle nowadays :( oh noooooo.

Getting ready to see some red colouring when I go to the loo, coupled with some black seeds. xD
