Am so tired! I am going to ramble on... am so tired... in the lab... want to go home and sleep... but the inertia is so great... Zee just finished writing the reference letter I was suppose to write for Tse-Lynn... but obviously my engrand leaves something to be desired... I don't know what's with me and expressing myself in words... it just doesn't go... have trouble putting words together... wish I could DRAW a referral letter haha... that'd be fun... my hands are so itchy... no help from Daniel who tried to sting me with hydroids... on purpose... he is very impressive diver though... efficient and reliable... reminds me of what I added into Tse-Lynn's referrence letter... haha... I not on purpose flung some hydroids over to Tse-Lynn... but it was not on purpose!... saw baby seahorse today... so cute... on the nubbins... what's with the nubbins anyway... is this the deal?... what is with the double workload?... Am not complaining about the double field work... I like field work... in general... but being out in the field doing mundane things like cleaning nubbins... is taking time away from my tiles... and that sucks... what with the taking photos and all... think so easy to stick together composite digital photos is it?... with such vis... suspended particles and all... can't focus... I am so miffed right now... maybe it's because I am so tired and sleepy... don't know why I am so tired also... why why why?... Sunday's Reef Friend's dive is lacking 7 people... how?... I say it'll be alright... but how?... I have already agreed to go Bintan with Eric... So that can't be helped... I can't wait to go to Bintan... should be fun!... small island... in the middle of nowhere... hope there is time to go help Zee collect some gobies and maybe crabs... but concentrate on gobies said she... tired tired tired... rambling rambling rambling... student coming down tomorrow... thursday will be going to UWS... I don't think I have enough working plankton nets... how?... I need to go find me more... listening to new songs Abby passed me... my eyes barely keeping open... nice songs... inertia... OK ready to go off. Rambling will probably end here. Probably. No? No? Not yet I guess...  ¶ 10:16 pm 0 comments

  High on catnip. My dear favourite-est cat... has sniffed out the stash of catnip among the mess thrown out of the cupboard during cleaning.

And this was what he did!

















Strange thing is... I think this is the first few times it's been exposed to catnip!!! I don't usually condone the use of catnip on my cats! But it was there to placate one of my earlier stubborn chaotic cats...Wonder whether there's an expiry date for such stuff...

Anyway, Tom is my MOST FAVOURITE CAT! He roams freely all around the whole estate, getting food etc from other people, but he responds and manja-s most with me! He loves getting rubbed on his belly...and sleeps with me on the crook of my arm while I snuggle him like a teddy bear! =) He'd be purring... so CUUTTEEE!!!!!

Though I think all this only manja business is 'cos I took care of him day after day, night after night, when he was having very heavy flu after my idiot neighbour trapped him and sent him off to SPCA. His cage was not placed in a very sheltered area and when it rained heavily, he got wet and cold...IRRITATING BASTARDS! Poor thing couldn't eat and drink and had his nose all stuffed up, losing so much weight and lost his shiny soft fur...ARGH!!!

My bro and mom thinks he's the bastard cat in the family and dirty, what with all the cuts and wounds he gets ever so often and all. But he's the BEST! I think without Tom, other cats would encroach upon our territory and terrorise the other scaredy homely cats...



But for some odd reason my cats seem to be balding... WHY WHHYYY??? Just like Jeff's cats! Tom's head area seem to be balding and Pesek's butt and tail area is losing fur... Hmm.......... why why why? Reuben thinks it's because of catnip...But this is the first time it's been exposed to catnip! He also thinks it's because of the dry cat food... His mom says I can try using gentian violet to treat the balding patches. That's what she does with her cats anyway... Now where can I get some?  ¶ 5:38 pm 1 comments

  My and my playmate Met my friend diving today...AGES since I last saw him. Probably half a year or something. It was fun to meet up and play again! Haha... it's really nice to have a guy friend you can beat up. No obligations, no commitments, no worries... just fun. Nothing to be ashamed of or to be shy about. Nothing to beat around the bush with, nothing to make the butterflies in my stomach flutter. Nothing to make me stutter, nothing to make it hard for me to express myself. It's a just so friendship. It's nice. Can talk about anything, everything... whenever I feel like it. Easy. Only problem is, as a friend he has some issues in the reliability department. But so do I. Heh.

Cheers to friends!  ¶ 10:45 pm 0 comments
