A drink machine might not be a big deal to many... but i had a simple encounter with one.

Back when i was 8, my sister was frequently admitted to NUH, always at ward 48. Just outside the ward was this drink machine, the type that dispensed by the cup.

One day,i decided that i was thirsty and bored enough(a hospital is really boring for a child, trust me),I pop a coin as hard as i could into the drink machine, it registered $1 and yet the coin came out. That was how i started my first scandal.

i kept increasing my capital from $1 to $10. i bought alot of sweets and stuff. It felt really good. I felt liked i earned my own money. I showed my brother my ever-winning jackpot machine. *smiles* We continued playin with it and shared the spoils.

But now as i look back on the machine i realise what i had done. I had taken the poor innocent drink machine and made money. Till this day, I cannot judge if what i did was "immoral". The reason i use immoral cos i know it was wrong, but immoral? hmmm...

Sometimes we do stuff that doesn't seem wrong, but what i did was to a drink machine. What about manipulating a situation when a heart is involved? I know i had given and recieved my fair share of heart breaks yet, you still don't learn. Y?

And you know one more thing that Mr Drink Machine taught me?? How to take the oppotunity to make my money grow. HA!

taken from Troy:
Achilles: If i do this for you, you're still my enemy in the morning.
Priam: You are still my enemy tonight but even enemies can show respect.
