Why is animal testing still so prevalent today, despite ALL the scientific progress we’ve made? You would think with all the cloned human bits and parts, we could use that to test the effect of hair spray, for example ( Read more... )

A test kit has been developed to detect bear material. This is a very good development and I hope one that will eventually eradicate all products made with bear components.

Today I found an interesting program. It's called Dream Recorder and you basically place your computer next to you while you sleep and run the program. ( Read more... )

Found out today that Starcraft II is in the making!! I'm psyched!! I can't wait! If you are like me, and heart Starcraft to no end (I have had dreams about the protoss), go check out the trailers for the game (www.starcraft2.com) and search for more on youtube. The new units are FRIGGIN' COOL ( Read more... )

I have now come to the point in my young life where I have to make life altering decisions. Do I want money? Or work-life balance? Should I wait in hopes something better will come along? Or should I take a better-than-what-I-have-now deal even tho' it's not as good as it can get ( Read more... )

Early this morning I was dragged to an organics farm all the way in ulu Lim Chu Kang. It was an event that was organised by R's R Club. I was upset to learn that there would be lunch at the place, and a salad making competition. I HATE VEGETABLES. To me, a vegetable farm equals bug farm ( Read more... )

So, I've decided I'm not doing enough to contribute to this world. There are amazing atrocities that need to be rectified, but people are stupid or cowardly or they just don't care. You who know me, knows I get very worked up when I hear of animal abuse (Btw, I think that fiance who beat up his fiancee's dog is a real asshole. If R beat up Lester, ( Read more... )

The 4th in the Black Dagger Brotherhood sexy-goddamg-hot-hiphop-lovin'-gun-totin'-Escalade-drivin'-vampires series. I shall go lock myself in my room now.

It wasn't like she planned on slipping and falling and hitting her head on that ( Read more... )

I'm so tired it isn't funny. I've swapped rooms with my parents, so now while I don't have 2 rooms to call my own anymore, I have the master bedroom that overlooks the front of the house. And yes, you'll be happy to know that I have reception in this room.

Just came back from Japan early early this morning. Spent last week in Tokyo. It was a very last minute family (including R coz he's now 'family' in my parents' eyes.. *shrugs*) holiday. I don't think I would want to live in Tokyo coz I think I'll get migraines everyday. THE NOISE AND THE PEOPLE. Geez. Too much and too many in one place! Shopping ( Read more... )
