Coconut Seed - mauriceling/mauriceling.github.io GitHub Wiki

The seed that start it all The seed in the sturdy brown ball Coconut, a seed or a nut Questioning the ten year heart She said it is a seed I refused to see the deed For I saw the white fibrous golf A coconut seed at the hawker's loft One against the class Hiding my resolve in my box of glass Two days off I sought my prize Showing the seed small in size Not bowing to authoritative voice Skepticism my only choice -- 17/03/16 Commentary

My first single recallable memory of science was in Gongshang Primary School arguing with my science teacher, Mrs Tay, on whether coconut has a seed. She said that the entire coconut is a seed but I remembered seeing a seed in a coconut. The following week, I got my mum to scout the market with me for a coconut seed to show her. I was 10 years old and in Primary 4 then. Perhaps that was where I really got interested in science – to learn the natural world.
