My blogs are boring. How i'd know? coz i read 'em myself. probably half the counter hits are my own. Anyway, i made a mug (please say mug when it's a mug, and cup when it's a cup) of three in one coffee today, with an extra teaspoon of milk powder for the extra creaminess. I emptied the contents of the thermoflask into my mug and produced only half a mug of coffee.



If you go to those good chinese restaurants, with well trained waitresses, not those young pretty ones (If you're a young and pretty AND well trained waitress, go ahead, slap me... you did say you were young and pretty right?), you'll find that they keep refilling your cup of tea or glass (yes glass, not mug or cup) of water (Crap restaurants don't refill your drinks in an attempt to make you make way for more paying customers) (that's not to say restaurants that keep refilling your drinks wanna keep you, they make you wanna leave for the washroom sooner) (but of course a different strategy is employed if the restaurant offers it's own washroom or the customers are not drinking the refills. but i really shouldn't go on and on with these brackets, coz this post is really just about half a mug of coffee).



Now where was i? ... there's a reason, not just quenching your thirst, for the constant refills. you see, water, in 'feng shui', is akin to gold/money. so flowing water means flowing money, which is good for business (did i ever tell you not to touch suntec's water fountain's water? anyway, that's out of point). Constant refill means customer's cup/glass/mug is constantly full/'man', which means lots of gold/money for the customer, which is good, for the customer. Customer lots of gold/money, can afford to spend in restaurant, restaurant refill drink, cycle complete, business is good, customer return for more refills (My religious friends 'd probably tell me that it is superstition, and blah blah, and i usually should but didn't mention that religions are also a kind of superstition) (the least they could do was to check the dictionary before trying to fool the bandit rite?). Which ties in with today's topic, me having half a mug of coffee.



So if a full mug means lots of gold/money, then i'm a poor man. I can't pay for my own phone bill (which explains the lack of one), i can't pay for my internet bill (which explains the need to go to my auntie's house to access internet even though i have a dial up account), i can't pay for my shoes (which explains my broken pair of suede), i can't pay for my meals (which doesn't explain why i still eat out sometimes) and i can't pay for my for my transport (which explains why i walk instead of taking bus or mrt most of the time). So it's kind of apposite that i had half a mug of coffee.



Notice how i say "half a mug of coffee" and not "half full mug" or "half empty mug". There's alot of bulldrek going about the last two phrases, about how they can determine if a person is optimistic or pessimistic. Surely you don't belive that kind of crap, i mean me!!? OpTiMiStIc!?? when all i had was half a mug of coffee?!!



Anyways, you might notice that the pragraphs in this post all end with the phrase "half a mug of coffee"



Also there's two new links. One of them is to Yvonne's webpage. An another to the blog of a girl/lady/woman whom i do not know and whom i'm not known to (think her name is wendy). i linked to her anyway since her blog was mentioned in the newspaper (she had an online interview) (and yes, also because her pic in sunday times is so drooling), and she gets 2000 hits per day, compared to my measly 2000 hits per lifetime which is coupled with half a mug of coffee...



Anyway, in an attempt to make you read my previous posts i'll quote myself, "Wanna have some coffee?" and yes, a full mug, not half a mug of coffee.
