Not so humble

The day for Sunday began with him heading off and facilitating Confirmation for the SFX students. Then he donated blood and discovered that Serge was a B[astard] Posi+ive type.

From what the nurse mentioned during the vampiric experienced, a Positive Rhesus blood type cannot go into a Negative Rhesus blood type even though they are under the same family. However a Negative Rhesus blood type can go into both. One extra cool factor is that in Malaysia, the one who has a Negative Rhesus are those of Indian decent. Not sure how much this is true, but it is rather interesting.

Pre-Eve of Chinese New Year Eve

And so today we woke up and went to the Industrial Court for an asshattery that happen about 8 months ago. Those who have followed this site would have known what this was about. Amazingly enough and the sad part of the matter is that the judge who was to preside this particular case was on leave and thus the hearing has been postponed. This is the time where Serge would love to cry and smile at the same time. A cry for it is just stupid and smile for at the end of the day he has nothing to lose, nothing to lose at all.

Why I Want To Eat At Fridays?

Why I, Serge Norguard want to eat at Friday’s ? To cut the long story short and then to ad lib to make it long, there are several reasons for it. Not an infinite amount, rather several which is more than one but less than infinite.

SS2 Durians

SS2 Durian. Yes, you saw that right. Your eyes are not deceiving you. There is a website made by a durian seller here in SS2 Petaling Jaya.

Serge is not a big fan of durians, of which Edrei once stated in his 100 Things … “Durian is by far the most evil creation made by God that rivals all nuclear weaponary in the world”. Of course, Serge has seen Edrei make an awesome turnabout at the first whiff of any durian smell.

Well this is just a short post, after discovering the site above. To any of you durian lovers out there, have fun eating it.

[B47] Fourteen

Number 14 is considered to be one of the unluckiest numbers in Chinese culture. In Mandarin, to avoid confusion with other characters, the number 1 is often pronounced as “yao” in a numeric sequence; therefore, 14 when read as a numeric sequence is “yao si”. “Yao si” is also the pronunciation of “going to die” (要死 pinyin yào sǐ). In Cantonese, the normal pronunciation of fourteen is “sap6 sei3″, which sounds like “sat6 sei2″ meaning “certainly die” (實死). –source

Hilariously speaking, this the date that Serge was born. Well we can’t away from the reaper and Serge will eventually die. Though with this kind of belive, people are just stuck with it. Serge’s matron and his sister somewhat believes in the asshattery known as “bad” numbers.
