Look what I found...cicak eggs

While lazing around on a hot and stuffy Saturday evening at home, my sister suddenly called me to get my ass up and go to the kitchen to see something interesting. Peeked into the hole at the door frame and what greeted me was the presence of house gecko, or rather cicak eggs in the hole. A few were already cracked due to the door lock closing on them.

    Took two for use in my random secret experiments and another lucky two I decide to incubate. Placed them in a container, poked some holes and the wait begins. Another adventure begins for me, reminds me of the old days when we used to catch many different bugs and placed them in containers with holes, so much cooler than playing computer games like what kids nowadays do.

Got stitched up for the first time...=O - Part IV

Ahh...after a tedious time tending to my gangrenous wounds, they are healing very well and no longer oozing yellowish liquid turning medical cream ala thousand island sauce-like. A week or more and it should look like nothing happened. =)

Pictures after the jump, no longer disgusting but still not beautiful.

My Denim Adventure - Week 25

It's been 25 weeks since I got my first pair of raw denims, just a week past 6 months. Over the half year period, I have got them soaked in sweat, beer and other alcoholic beverages, juices, ice cream, oil and not to mention a variety of sauces, maybe even traces of liquid excretion at the crotch area??

    In that period of time I have got them dry cleaned once to get rid of the unbearable smell, raw denim lesson learnt was that every pair of raw denims are better off being hung inside out after a day of wear under the sun or fan to get rid of bad smells. Anyway, I'm rather dissatisfied by the fades produced in this 6 months of wear. Of course, the effective wearing of my Dr Denims is less than 6 months, halted by my travels and injuries. Anyhow, because of the dissatisfaction, I'm going to extend my wearing of my jeans further for another 6 months before washing them, but I shall get them dry cleaned first. =) Can't wait to get into my APCs though.
