Liberty at last!
If blogging is a drug, then the best description of my mood now is this - an addict who was forced to stay away from her drug has just got her dose, and a BIG dose, of that drug.
Argh~ sigh of relief and liberation. I've gotta prepare for my cheesecake in where else but Cafe Cartel and with who else but Taitai. Told you blogging is a drug and I'm the addict because I just could not wait a few hours more, after my cheesecake. I've just gotta blog for the sake of doing it.
And now, would you please excuse me.
To be continued...

Looks like my estimation of time taken to cover a certain distance isn't exactly that accurate. Or so I thought it takes less than ten minutes to get to Cafe Cartel, but I was almost ten minutes late. Still, it did not affect the level of satisfaction we derived from consuming half-priced-with-ten-percent-discount cake. If you ask me, human brains still outperform machines in terms of simple calculation and accuracy. Because ten percent of 13.16 is 1.316, but the machine stated 0.41, which is like, hello, one third what it should be. If you see stars at the digits being mentioned worry not - what I was saying was, they gave us only one third of the total discount we should receive.
But since I'm a generous person and I had no intention of being 'auntified' by claiming back that two third of discount they owed us, we just left the restaurant after much discussion of what ten percent should really be. And besides, we did not know student discount is ten percent. All the while we thought it to be 5. So in the end of the day we still had 5 percent more, which will be decreased to 3 percent with effect from 1st July, no special thanks to the GST hike here.
If you must know, Taitai had a Bitter Chocolate something something Fudge, while I feasted on Tiramisu. Tiramisu tasted like, well, tiramisu, but Taitai's was like a block of chocolate. Ooh so yummy.
I could not blog til now, because immediately after I reached the hostel (oh, past curfew of course)we feasted our eyes on hot guys again. Yes, the most beloved Prison Break season two. The drama marathon ended at five something this morning, and two sleepy pigs zonked out after that. The construction indulges in a perverse joy of waking me up before the stipulated time, always. Today was no exception. I planned to only rise after ten, and they successfully did it one hour earlier. RAWR!

If I am an axon, then action potential is my take on relationships. It's an all or nothing event, propagated laterally, in this case means over time.
So usually, my cell membrane maintains a resting potential. It's constant throughout time, maintained by continuous movement of sodium and potassium ions across gated channels. It's like people moving in and out in your life. Then here comes the event, that triggers an impulse, a spark in my terminology. It depolarizes the membrane, and action potential may be initiated.
However, the workings of an axon is this. Yes, an impulse (spark) is able to depolarize the membrane, but a minimum threshold potential must be reached before anything can happen next. Once it's crossed, you'll confirm get full depolarization, and an AP is generated. So yeah, basically, it's either you don't get any AP because it did not reach threshold potential, or you'll get a full AP. Nothing is like getting half of this half of that.
So there's no such thing as 'try try first, we'll see next'. Because this very idea reduces a beautiful relationship to nothing. Because you aren't giving your best to make it work. Because you are uncertain.
I don't know if you people understand me. Being a Leo I always have knots in the tongue when it comes to expressing myself in times of frustration and.. maybe irritation. If you don't then, sigh, well, sorry for wasting so much of ur precious time here. You may take your leave.
It's paradoxical amidst global warming, the seed looks like it's trying to survive through Ice Age. A seed meant for a tropical plant, I really don't know if it will survive through this. After talking to Taitai and thinking it over, sigh, I think the best for both the seed and I is to remove it from my backyard, and give it to someone else. Since I could do nothing to make it grow, there's no point holding on. Let go, and may it find another owner.
Meanwhile, I shall go prepare for an eventful today!
