young scientists

i have a confession ...

being deprived as a child on toys, gadgets, play station, etc, i justttttt had to get rid of my deprived obsession over a microscope set. yes! wanted soooooo much for this toys-r-us microscope set that i've spotted at singapore's toys-r-us when i was 9 years old. my deprived obsession was finally materialised in my early 20s. experimented on anything that i could think of.

fuhhhh yohhh!! how could you not drool over this cool device which could conduct real experiments. it's revolving turret is equipped with magnifications from 100x, 500x & 1000x. even features die-cast body, illuminating light, and projector for viewing specimens. neatly contained in a sturdy carrying storage case that includes the following: micro data bank with a number of samples, micro slicer, 12 blank glass slides, mini magnifying glass, 12 cover glasses, 12 blank labels, 12 slide covers, 4 collecting vials, stirring rod, petri dish, scalpel, needle, tweezers, spare bulb, condenser lens cap, 2 graduated cylinders, CD instruction manual and others.

couldn't get the exact model but this is the nearest to it.

now that i've outgrown it and the microscope set is still well preserved, hehe..., i've passed it down to my 9 yrs old niece as a birthday present (2nd hand gift but everyone thinks it's a 1st hand!! shhhhh....). she now sleeps with it and i am branded as her favourite best friend jie jie ^_^

note to cheekypau : need not tell it's 2nd hand and its worth passing down the old treasure to someone who unexpectedly appreciates your same joy and passion
