Hawaiian Mangoes SUX

the title sez it all. Buy Philippino mangoes everytime. The Hawaiian kind is not as sweet, the dried stuff tastes like sulphur etc etc. But when one is trying to write up a thesis proposal, anything mildly edible is gonna be eaten... I have to get me some gum.....

However, I think I'm finally done with the first draft of my proposal. I can't bring myself to read through that disgusting piece of sh*t so I can proofread it. Basically you say the same thing 3 times. First in the abstract, u give a brief summary of why n what u wanna do. Next in the backgrd, u give more info on why it's important to do what you wanna do, and refresh everyone's memory on what the hell it is again. In prelim studies, u tell them what u already did. Finally in research design, u give step by step instructions on how ur next 4 yrs are gonna be like. After a while, u sound more and more like a broken record. At the end of the 20 pages, u're SO SICK of the entire project, u wanna quit and go be a monk in Tibet.

Very Important Question: when u buy water at Safeway, what's the diff between 1)'purified drinking water' and 2)'purified spring water'? Is #1 purified sewage water? or purified reservoir water? One would assume that #2 is from some spring some where. but where exactly? The Ganges?

purified spring water means they get it from some uluated source, much like the water from our sembawang hot spring. got extra mineral one.

purified drinking water sounds suspiciously like NEWater, does it not? we dun wan extra minerals in this kind of water hor.
