I'm back again....am in fanatical mood
In the lab again...alone. But I love it when there is noone around...ahah i get unlimitted access to the computer (a tad slow though but beggers can't be choosers!)
A little bummed out though cuz I LOST one of my spider while feeding it...actually, I was lucky cuz I could have lost even more...Okie, what happened was that I was going to feed my spiders with drosophilas aka fruit flys that I knocked out with CO2 (carbon dioxide). But normall,y I would unstoppered a few of the containers before brushing the sleeping flies in. This is cuz those dratted flies wake up very quickly and if I'm not careful, my lab would be overtaken by them (already, I caught quite a few strays buzzing around in the lab). Anyway, thing seemed normal but when I turned back to feed my spiders, i noticed one spider out of its container. No sweat. I stoppered my container of fruit flies before catching that little bugger. Then I spotted another one on top of another spider's container. Hmm...catch him first before I think about which spider belongs in which container (No big problemo yet for I had noted the physical attributes of every spider i had, i.e. sex, missing legs, body size etc...yes...I'm that thorough but what to do?? Anyway, this means that I can just do some simple matching) Then, when I was about to feed the rest of the unstoppered spiders with my fruit flies (it's a race against time before they wake up it not i'd have to anaesthesize them again), i realised that two more spiders had ran away!!
PANIC BUTTON!!!!~
Shit crap...argh...to cut the long story short, I found one of those 2 perch on another spider's container. That container had fruit flies within and somehow, that stupid spider was thinking of catching his meal through plastic. Spider greed...Lucky for me I say.
The one that i have yet to find though is a female adult with all its legs intact and this means that I have less viable females to use!!!! hai...nevermind, this just means I'm definitely going back to the mangroves to catch them again. Though I wonder, what if Singapore's entired population of my spiders is really only found on that tree??? Then would this mean that I'm effectively wiping them out? Or what it there is not enough for me to catch or what if I caught almost all of them???
ARGHHhh questions and never ending questions....I think i'm getting paranoid!~
Okie, anyway, I just did another Tickle test....Blame yan for my sudden obsession....I just wanna boost my ego ahha...no harm making yourself happy rite?

So here are my latest test results for The Brain Test
(What Your Brain Says About How You Think and Learn)
Tay, you are Balanced-brained
That means you are able to draw on the strengths of both the right and left hemispheres of your brain, depending upon a given situation.
When you need to explain a complicated process to someone, or plan a detailed vacation, the left hemisphere of your brain, which is responsible for your ability to solve problems logically, might kick in. But if you were critiquing an art opening or coming up with an original way to file papers, the right side of your brain, which is responsible for noticing subtle details in things, might take over.
While many people have clearly dominant left- or right-brained tendencies, you are able to draw on skills from both hemispheres of your brain. This rare combination makes you a very creative and flexible thinker.
The down side to being balanced-brained is that you may sometimes feel paralyzed by indecision when the two hemispheres of your brain are competing to solve a problem in their own unique ways.
