In the midst of all the amending and flushing whole big chunks of information into the drains, i found this video from Frog Matters. Found it pretty amusing and encouraging.
Here is the video,
Kermit and his frog choir
As for me, back to work, with Kermit humming to me through the nights.

Closing ceremony for(4) frogs
Date :7th March 2008
Time : 9ish to 10ish pm
Weather : cool and windy
After my meeting at < SPACE >, i headed down to the field for my last frogging session. I might wanna do a few more (for leisure) if time permits. I will surely miss the frogs/toads i missed. The weather was cool and nice. Along the way, i looked at the many drains at Science. Many of them were dry. And there was no signs of frogs/toads to be sighted. Sad case.
The first Anuran of the night was a tiny Kaloula pulchra. It was near a dry drain, the drain running along the non-AYE side of the field. Along Lower Kent Ridge Road. The drain was dry and had unswept leaf litters inside it. There, i spotted 3 other Asian toads, Bufo melanostictus. The first toad was a shy brownish one which was rather flat. The second one was this agile one which made this chirp like sound when i caught it. It has strong hind limbs and i watched it for quite awhile. Mostly due to curiosity, partly due to my solo boredom. It has this consistent leap which was 7 leaps max per move. It was hopping all around the field with a Homo sapiens chasing herself silly after it. I am sure we both had fun. And i found it rather special, looking bananaish(yellowish) with fancy legs (who knows it could have been wearing pineapple stockings), which looked as if its limbs and body was of a different individual.
As for my last catch of the night, it was this extra-dark Asian toad, Bufo melanostictus . It was rather small in size and made me felt as if it was a little gloomy. So i didnt really bother it so much.
I continued by walking along School of Computing (SoC) and all the way along. Got back to PGP at around 10.45pm.
alicia-Had my frogging dose, now i need a booster.

Raining cats and dogs
It has been raining for the pass few days. Have been looking out for potential places i might be able to spot more frogs. The weather is cool and splendid. I am so glad for the frogs, at last some moisture for them to call their own.
My tentitive plan is to go for 2 more frogging sessions, tomorrow and on friday night. And hope in this time of preparation for the Anurans to meet me when i go frogging for them, they be merry and show me some spawn maybe? The best will be a family reunion or some old friends get-together.
Looking forward to my frogging sessions, can't hardly wait =)

Umbrellas up, ponchos on..
Date : 3/3/2008
It started drizzling at about 2.30pm. I was delighted but the rain lasted for less than half an hour. But for starters, it was good sign.
Now, at around 4.30pm, the rain started again about 3o minutes ago. Goody woody, i shall check those areas where i haven found any frogs/toads. Everyone, including survey sites deserve 2nd chances/ another chance.
Alicia-Talk about being CAfied.
