As sweet as sugar
Tip of the tongue shiver
The sight of her in bright green shirt
Full of glee, with me will she flirt?
I try my best to win her over
Coming out my shell, with nothing to cover
If nothing is ventured, nothing can be gained
It is easy to say, I find hard to sustain
Walking to me, she glides over
Full of grace and poise, she is the go-getter
Asked for name and number
I answered with a stutter
Once that was done, begins a new story
The rest that happened, is what people say history

ok i got 1 hotplate that comes with a magnetic stirrer.. and tried and tested, 1 stirrer can only work with 1 beaker + stirrer bar.. unless the beaker and bar is very small, 3 cm max, it wont stir if there are more beakers.. hmmmmm need to keep the H2SO4 cool at 0C before pouring and then maintain mixture temp at 20C max. That means i need ice bath and that means i need something to hold water and ice with my beaker in it...
aluminium tray that is small enough for the hotplate and no choice, would have to do it 1 by 1 slowly.. unless i can secure another hot plate.. doubt it, no space in the fumehood...ok assuming 3 hrs per batch, i got 4 batch and thus 12 hrs and thus 2 days worth of 6 hrs each.. i need ice too, and thus cooler box..need to check with the lab for this..looks and sounds feasible

After a 4 days, 3 night course, i am now a certified open water PADI diver.. wooooooo =)
In the town where I was born
Lived a man who sailed to sea
And he told us of his life
In the land of submarines
So we sailed up to the sun
Till we found a sea of green
And we lived beneath the waves
in our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
And our friends are all aboard
Many more of them live next door
And the band begins to play
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine
(Full speed ahead Mr. Boatswain, full speed ahead
Full speed ahead it is, Sgt.
Cut the cable, drop the cable
Aye, Sir, aye Captain, captain)
As we live a life of ease
Every one of us has all we need
Sky of blue and sea of green
In our yellow submarine
We all live in a yellow submarine
Yellow submarine, yellow submarine

give me my novocaine.. in the need for it to numb my senses to way way way numb. i figured, if i dont do this, i cant sleep, period.. the mind games can simply kill me to the point of just kill me for real and end it now.. at times i figured, its like having a ball hitting you on the head and you not knowing it was coming at all.. its just WHAM! and that's it.. you're on the ground. I wonder why i tolerate with this? Is it because its part and parcel of life and how things are in nature or is it because I am at fault in the first place? or is it because that is how things should be, an up and down, yin and yang, winner and loser etc
i cant never really say or tell which would really apply.. perhaps its a mixture of all of that was mentioned.. people learn new things everyday (no matter how insignificant), somehow errors and faults always points back an arrow all the way to you because it has to start somewhere aye? in this web of life and nature, everything is related or connected, one way or the other. and to have hot, you need cold and thus things are never up nor never down 24/7.. nothing is as perfect as imperfection. life would be kinda boring if things are just the way it is, day in day out.. your cognitive mind cant grow and developed and thus, you get nothing in the end.
well i hope whatever i just said made some sense, cos as of know, it seems to be but perhaps my mind is clouded by events that can be compared to having balls hitting your head without you knowing.. go sleep.

i am a biker.. ever was, ever will.. i have been riding/ cycling ever since i was 7?? and i didnt look back ever since.. initially its just simple leisure rides around the neighborhood but now its progressed to something more active and physical, involve bikes with 120mm fork travel and a dirt path.. i wont say mountain biking is my hobby but more of a passion...and i hope the activity really takes off in singapore and thus lead to more trails for people like me to use!!!
though i realize some bikers can be quite temperamental in some ways...either whoever in front is going too slow, block the way or just too uptight to even give you a weak smile (i stated weak smile, not smile because knowing how exhausting cycling can be, i totally understand it gets hard to not focus on the thing at hand) but ya, i think some bikers should try to minimize the antics of being unfriendly.. CHILLLL
im not saying all but some, and especially so those who rides machines worth more than 1K.. im not generalizing but so far this is what i see, the more expensive your ride is, the more the rider seem unfriendly.. i have seen it all the time! i think whatever your ride is, let it be 100 bucks from Giant or a 10K carbon composite imported from France, bikers are still bikers.. the essence of being bikers is simple, freedom of movement (well that's in my opinion anyway) and coolest thing is, we dont generate any carbon footprint, less the CO2 we breathe out and those bikes with motors.
i think when riders see other riders who have a less expensive bike with him/her, they be looked down upon.. which is unfair cos as much as its passion/hobby/life etc its also boils down to one's ability to afford it.. doesnt mean having a better ride makes you a better rider anyway.. its like typical, drive a BMW and ppl wah and drive a toyota and ppl go eew.. which is hardly the case for motorist i believe.. same thing should apply for bikers! we are a bigger community than some people can actually imagine and we're all riding biycles.. not motorbikes, not buggies, not skateboards..
so please, lets all be more friendly! smile abit more and unite!! to chill and relax riding our ride =)

went to siow chang today.. had my dad's reel fixed.. wont be cheap.. hopefully it doesnt exceed 40 SGD! saw the kind of stuff they were selling.. not bad, very big shop and lots of varieties.. tempted to splurge on some spoons and cheap lures.. haha but haiya, must keep to my budget.. then went beach road.. also same.. apparently i have no idea why some lures are like 20-30 bucks each!
it was so hard finding something below 6 bucks but ya.. so ended up didnt buy any lures.. so i saved some cash.. maybe will get them next time around, hehehe.. need spoon, surface action lures..maybe a spinner bait and those soft types also.. depending on the kind of budget i have..
i was able to really try luring a few days back as i was trying to catch this garfish by the wave breakers.. quite fun and tiring.. too bad the garfish got away! but its ok!revenge will be mine!! muahahaha
