Tough Thick Coconut

On Tuesday 14.july.2026, we took a quick breakfast at a nearby eatery before going to foc job for a 9.30 am appointment. After that, went to eat brunch at Nam Heong pinnacle condo Sri Petaling and bought groceries from the supermarket there.

Once back 🏠 he wanted to drink the coconut 🥥 juice from the coconut he bought from the supermarket and discovered that the husk of this particular coconut 🥥 is too thick so the manufacturer of the device that was fixed on the coconut didn't even get near the coconut 🥥 shell to puncture the coconut shell aka tempurung to get to the coconut 🥥 juice aka coconut 🥥 water inside. There is no way that the both of us could wack the coconut 🥥 with a knife 🔪 to get to the coconut 🥥 juice so he sighed and said, just write off this coconut 🥥 that costs between MYR 8 to MYR 9 but I thought of an idea 💡 to salvage the situation.

We implemented my idea 💡 and got to drink the coconut 🥥 juice from this tough coconut 🥥. Also got to eat durians too 😋 

My idea 💡:
Both of us walk to the nearby fruit shed and buy one coconut and durian from this fruit shed and then seek their help to cut open our coconut 🥥 for us.

Result:
The fruit shed people are kind so they did cut open our coconut 🥥 for us 👍🏻 😊 so we didn't need to throw an unopened coconut 🥥 away.
