5 reasons why you should do Science

5. You can play with fire and not worry about being scolded

4. You can play with dangerous chemicals, mixed it together and makes some nice sound and ‘blast’!

3. You can play with glass and breaks it. No, you don’t have to pay for the glass that you break or smashed!

2. You can write grants and get hundred of thousands dollars, but as the saying goes, great power comes with great responsibilities. So, great monies comes with great difficulties too…

1. Occasionally, you do and create something wrong and dumb and you become rich because of it. That’s how Viagra was invented!

One month in Hershey

1.  Got a Pennsylvania ID but then, it has expired. Still waiting for new permanent ID to arrive.

2. Met an accident but unhurt. The car belong to our friend is a write-off. Not because the damage is bad but the cost of repairing it is higher than the value of the car itself.

3. Bought a car and enjoying it.

4. Found a church, the first church we attended, and has since decided to be there. Trying to look for avenue to serve now.

5. Drove around Hershey and to the next town or city nearby. Nothing to shout about but then, driving on the different side of the road as I am used to is a major achievement, especially the bigger truck is always on your rear view mirror!

6. Went apple picking, but then, now looking for ways to finish the apples.

7. Trimmed the trees, raked the leaves and threw away 16 bags of yard waste. I have 3 more now on my lawn.

8. No more lizards and cockroaches, but spiders and ants!

9. Back home, there are stray dogs and cats. But here, it’s rabbits and squirrels and …fireflies.

10. Finally, smelled the chocolate-filled air in town. But it’s more like cookies rather than chocolate. Now I can truly tell people, I live in Hershey!

Is it in your shopping list?

I saw this ad in the newspaper last week. Man, this is a good ad with interesting pictures too.

I turned in and saw this wonderful camouflage suits which make you feel like you are living a good summer time. But I am sure, you will stand out when you walk down the New York Times Square!

There are also the boots which help you to have a better footing and protect your feet when you go for a hike and walk in the jungle or the woods.

And then, there are nice tents for you to use too. If you like the higher view, well, there are chairs which you can hang up on the tree too..:)

And if you like what you see, you can but a sling shot and better still a bow for $329 only. This will guarantee at least a meal for you while you are in the wild. A deer maybe…

And you can find the arrow head with fancy design too. It’s all metal and with different designs to make sure your catch don’t run away.

Don’t like it? Too heavy or too much of a hassle? You need something which you can get it quick and clean? Don’t worry. There are more…

Shortgun anyone? And it’s cheaper than a desktop. You can get one at $299.99. Want a fancier one? Well, you can get better shortgun. After all, it’s mostly below $1k.

No? Ok. I get it. More impact. More style!

Pump gun? How do you like that? From a rifle that costs $99.99, which is cheaper than my handphone, and to the more expensive model of $1399.99. You like some semi auto, you got it.

Man…Do you use all this while you go hunting?

And the best of all, the target loads, or bullets…It’s only $6.49 for a box of 25 and it’s on sale. 20% sale! Too expensive. Well, you can buy in bulks too.

DSC01918

And it’s only $16.99 for 525 rounds!

Man…now, remember, all these come in the Sunday newspaper advertisement, there is a toll-free number to call and the website to access to.

And I have to be credit checked and pay a $500 deposit just to get a handphone here?!
