Wildlife Parasitology~ *_*

I finally have the chance to play around with my new hairstyler set! (^_^)

Bought it a day before my fieldcourse.I never thought i will ever have my very own hairdryer tho hehe yea~.. i didnt use these things :P this explains why my hair were always wet and messy.

I was hoping i could curl my hair permanently in the saloon but after a hairtest, i was advice not to due to my previous zigzag perm~ But a temporary curl is okay~ so~.. TADA!! Me my very own hairstylish!

Aiyo~ this is not supposed to be the main topic for this post~..i'll post some pictures of me with curly hair next time yah ^^.

A week on parasites - indeed those 7 days was quite an experience \(^o^)/ I cant wait to post on the things we did, yet, it was too much to talk about that i donno where to start!

Kindrogan Field study centre.

This is where we live, eat and study. Its a very DEAD COLD place.

Wake up 6am everyday to take a shower and make lunches.

Breakfast at 8am. And dinner at 6.30pm

Loch trips for fishing (for our research)

Our lab - where we spent most of the time. (Til 9/10pm)
Freshwater lab - a place where we kept all the animals. Smells!

Basically, its like going to Uni with animal dissection practicals everyday from morning to evening *_*

Yea~ it was a damn tiring week.

Pu3z VERY busy! *_*

Please come and visit my blog by then :D

Mark Radice and the Ten Year Old Blues

Jeezo! Sorry (yet again) for abstaining from posting on this dear blog/graveyard/wasteland......but!....I have returned (for now) and with something I hope you will all enjoy. Continuing with child singing sensations comes the complete pre-puberty releases of the very talented Mark Radice. The son of record producer Gene Radice, Mark shone from a very early age in the studio - writing over 50 of his own compositions by the age of 11. His first release came at the age of 10 with Wooden Girl/Save Your Money in 1967, then Natural Morning/You Took the Words Right Out of My Life in 1968, followed by 10,000 Year Old Blues/Three Cheers (For the Sad Man) in the same year. Finally came Richest Man In the World/Girl By The Meter in '69, which was the last single before his self-titled debut album in 1971. In addition to both singing and writing the releases - he also played a part in producing and arranging the records too - nice! After allowing these recordings flow down your ear canals, I'm sure you'll agree with me on what a superb talent Mark was and indeed still is! Mr Radice grew up to become a successful songwriter (including a variety of numbers for Sesame Street - wahey!) and his official site is here for much more information and a full discog. I've also split it into two parts as my connection aint what it used to be!

Mark One!

Mark Two!
