I'm going to cover several topics in today's post, hence the generic title.
First of is the completion of my undergraduate thesis. I think thanks are well deserved for several individuals, namely my mother, who stayed up with me and fed me through out my last leg. Her provision of moral support had been undeniably critical in times when I felt like just burning my computer. Jeremy, I owe you one for saving my ass in stats. Other shout outs go to Daryll, Kevin, and Rowen, who were great help in data collection. Also, to the congregation of SMACC1 and 2 for being such willing participants.
Next up is a preview of harvests to come in the vegetable plot I've been working on at the Nathaniel residence. The sole brinjal plant has begun bearing fruit, after such a long wait, and here is a picture of the first of many to come.
This one's rather small, and honestly, quite disappointing, but what can you expect from local brands. The carrots are coming along pretty well, though slower than I'd hope for it to be growing. I guess the instant life has got to me. The dill has bolted and since gone to seed. I think I'll dig it up once I'm back in KL.
Did I also mention that I may be moving? I've been staying with Mr. and Mrs. Colonel for far too long. Their goodwill (not taking rent, feeding me, and even taking me out for movies) is making me feel rather bad for staying so long. They're really a super nice couple, they are. I've managed to find a small, but cosy house tucked away in PJ. It's quite run down at the moment, but if I should rent the place, the owner has promised to spruce it up. There isn't much of a backyard, but the front is quite promising. I'm wondering if I should have the rambutan tree uprooted and plant vegetables there or leave it for the fruit, and rear rabbits for meat instead. I suspect it may be rabbits, since I'm already running the garden at the Nathaniels. What do you think?
