Came out from class today at 1030. It was then followed by a 1hr plus of stagnating in Borders Bookshop. I liked the book which talked about how to provide a boy with his emotional needs. It is indeed very true that the society views boys as the ones who can take the 'hit' whereas girls must not take the 'hit'. This is a myth as boys do have their vulnerablities too, but they tend hide their emotions and pretend to appear strong on the outside. But the book costs $31.90, so after reading it for about 45minutes I decided to put the book down and moved on to the other sections.
Then I came to the science section. There hides my worst fears; organic chemistry dummies, genetics and biochemistry. Despite the intimidation, I approached the books. Pharmaceutical Science began to implant itself in my mind again. The chemistry terms and diagrams did cause my adrenaline to pump to go for a 'flight' response when I first saw it. I had enough of Chemistry and perhaps, Biology, too(more on Chemistry, though)! I will never buy home a book related to Science.
Then at 1300 I had my lunch with my group members, after which we had our discussion on Project X. Peter Soo gave most of the idea, where the rest of the members like me just listened to him. He is very active in providing ideas. I provided my idea but the usage was limited. It poured when it was time to go home, so we walked along the sheltered paths.
The Bukit Timah region is flooded. Flooding occured at Bendemeer the other time.
