So this picture shows my first attempt, which worked but I added a chrome piece to fit my sink water outlet perfectly. Also someone mentioned about the overflow hole, one could make a cork type of device to plug it but I prefer my thumb. Cheers!

List of tools: flat head screwdriver
List of parts: small plunger head around $5, Danco 10506 dishwasher aerator adaptor chrome $5.75 free shipping, 5/8" hose(length depends on you're particular sink), hose clamps around $1, and 5/8" barbed fitting.

Drill a Hole

Grab the plunger and make a hole with a drill through the bottom.

Each fitting will go on either end of the hose. The chrome piece fit perfectly on to my sink water outlet after I took the piece that was originally there. It works better if you screw in the chrome piece first and then adapt the hose with plunger.

Connect Plunger

The barbed fitting you get from the hardware store must fit the plunger you intend on using on its threaded end.

Clamps

Slide the hose into the chrome adapter and tighten the clamps at shown points to prevent water leakage.
