COMPLETED!

COMPLETED!


8.45am
Was doing the laboratory report till late last night after reaching home past midnight. Slept at near 4am, and woke up at 7.30am. Brushed teeth, washed face. Printed some school documents until 8.45am. Made a cup of Nescafe coffee. Had planned to go straight into completing the halfway-done report, but ended up procrastinating. Went blog-surfing, yahoo-ing, face book-ing, and YouTube-ing instead. Only started proper on the report at near 11am. Finally finished typing up the loose ends at 12.30pm. Tired and sleepy. Too tired to double-check the report. Decided to proofread the report once through later tonight instead, before sending it for prints.




Completed at long last!



12.30pm
Saved the completed lab report into my lappie and thumbdrive. Being the typical kiasu Singaporean, I sent an attachment email to my personal email account and school email account; just in case suay suay my lappie unexpectedly crash and thumbdrive goes haywire. Hungry. Forgot to eat my home-cooked dinner late last night.

12.50pm
At Punggol Plaza's Kou Fu eatery with the younger brother. Makan-ed (chicky rice!!!). Adjourned to Fair Price Supermarket, planning to purchase Kim Chi and avocados. Managed to find avocados, but ended up not buying any as it appears a tad costly ($1.70 for one, can?!). Decided to check out the prices elsewhere before making any purchase. Left the supermarket and went to Sweet Talk.

1.58pm
Blogging. Terribly bloated (from the chicky rice and Green Milk Tea) and sleepy. Going to take a nap soon. Hope to wake up at 4pm. Study until 6pm. Go for a jog at 6.10pm. Pray that I won't oversleep and end up sleeping too much, for too long; lest I have trouble sleeping later tonight. And tomorrow's a MONDAY, not a weekend.





I'm thinking of eating an avocado once a week. After having a rare slice of avocado two weeks ago at New York New York, I've been wondering; what are the health benefits of avocados? Surely, I've heard alot of good things about avocados, but have not really been bothered about it.

A few days ago, I researched (ok lar ok lar, it was just google-ing) on the nutritional benefits of avocados. Turns out that avocados pack a real punch of vitamins and fibre and a whole load of good stuffs. Avocados are practically known as a nutrient POWERHOUSE! The only exception is, avocados are HEAVY in fats. Most of the calories in avocados come from FATS! (makes sense really, considering that avocado oil extracts are commonly found in hair conditioners, face moisturizers, lotions etc) Oh, crap! THAT slice of avocado I had in New York New York the other day was FRIED, tempura-styled! ARRRHHHHH!!! DOUBLY SINFUL!!! TWICE AS FATTENING!!! FEI SI WO LE!!! ARRRHHHHH!!!

Thus, in order to balance out the pros and cons, I'VE DECIDED TO EAT ONE AVOCADO PER WEEK! And since it's only an avocado per week, I might as well attempt to plant an avocado plant myself! Makes real lot of sense. Not to mention, own grown fruits are awfully tasty and organic! Free of chemicals, herbicide, pesticides, and insecticides! Healthy!

Anyway, I've not yet purchased any pots or soil. And I'm still not very sure on are there any special points to take note of while growing avocado plants. If I'm not busy enough, I might read up more on this area. And if I'm still not busy enough, I'll be lugging home a bag of soil and plant pot someday soon. But then again, maybe I'll procrastinate my way out of this, too. Hohoho!


Off to take a nap. Good night!



AMENDMENT: 1.13AM. Avocados come from trees, not plants. Looks like I won't be planting and growing any avocados in the near future; unless I buy a piece of land.
