Pictures up!
Playing around with my friend's k300i/k500i? I don't know, but its not the new one.

Lecture Hall 4A(a), waiting for cGMP to start, mixed with some Chem Engi students.

Those guys are blocking the way, was trying to get the background and my cGMP lecturer at the same time (most right).

Friends relaxing during 1 hour break. Phone belongs to the sleepyhead.

School starts, weee fun! Not when its still December.
Modules I'll be having:
i) current Goods Manufacturing Practices (cGMP)
ii) Communication Skills for Work (CSW)
iii) Personal Care and Cosmetics Chemistry (PCCC)
iv) Microelectronics Chemistry (Microe)
v) Industrial Chemicals and Processes (ICP)
vi) Laboratory Management (LM)
i) Theory, theory and more theory. I'm grateful as long as theres no math. But it seems like whatever is on the powerpoint is not exactly in our notes. Always lost. Seems like I'm studying law, you know cops sometimes go "According to section 23A, under domestic abuse..." or something. I have "CFR 38.1 ... bla bla bla"
ii) The students are not responsive, pity the lecturer seems like she's talking to herself. I'll try my best to answer. If this goes on, I think she'll have no motivation to teach us. Finding what meetings are for and how to conduct one. Lastly, we'll have the infamous mock job-interview. Might be wearing my up-and-coming blazer (I hope).
iii) Interesting topic, learn about your face and all those stuff thats suppose to care. Personally, I don't use these stuffs. Maybe I should start to... Hmm. Exploring the different types of skins, acnes, emulsifier usage and legislations.
iv) Still at Introduction which seems fine, but I believe if what my friend said is true, that I'm gonna have a hard time and I heard there's quite a few claculations to be made. *sigh* Learning how to make and fabricate wafer. Gonna be stuck in the CleanRoom for practicals, putting on BunnySuits.
v) Toughest module so far. All maths (ADDITIONAL, OMG) incorporated. Always lost during lesson, can't really grasp. Sadly, my brain and maths don't mix. Will learn how to make paints, learn the characteristics in petrochemicals among others.
vi) Similar to QAS, tend to play as I've learn the basics. But the other lecturer's part seems... theoretical. How to manage and take care of your dear lab. =)

!@#$%^&*()
I can't get radio.blog to work. Argh. I'm still awake. Yet I am sleepy and having a mild headache. I slept from 8pm up till 1am. Had fun aom games todae. I should learn to rush the gold more. But I don't like to rush 'cos I don't like to be rush. San's not online to play now. He's becoming a bit of quitter nowadays if we were to have good enemies. I'm irritated at times. -_-" But where's the fun if you keep having easy games! Righttttttttttt ?
I'm irritated
How can you get any slower? Walking so slow, as if you were drifting. Preparing samples like we have all the time in the world. OMG, I almost fell asleep just watching you. Honestly, I don't give a freaking damn care if you're sick. 'Cos you look absolutely fine. You already got your few days rest. When you first got sick, you sms-ed me at 4 in the morning asking me to call you? For what? So that you could lament about your illness, pain to me? Why don't you do that to your boyfriend. All the time you chatted with him through the night (honestly I'm not really interested in what you two are talking about) and now asking me to call you just to hear your sick comments? When we don't even chat on the phone anymore nowadays 'cept if it fits your need?! Come on, I was already having a rough weekend with flu, and I hadn't had enough sleep and was struggling to fall asleep. And when I did, you had to wake me up with your stupid sms. You were not going to school, but I am, in 2 hours. And that's all the time I have to SLEEP.
If you people out there think I am just jealous of this person, think again. I am just irritated, sick and tired of how she acts and views me. You be in my shoes and you'll know how I feel. Don't be a judge of what you don't understand, just trying to understand is enough. But I'm tolerating her. Oh I really am. However, to everything, there is always a limit.
(NOTE: Not that I don't want to listen. I actually prefer listening to talking . So yes, I'm here to listen to your laments, comments, complains, practically everything. =) *Prepares my listening aid* I can listen to people for hours on their problems and try to help them out even in the wee hours of the morning. But just not in this case, come on, if you got irritated and 'ill-treated', would you be extra nice to that person? Haha well, honestly, I would sometimes but then I won't feel so bad or guilty if I choose not to.)

Great food, great dinner
Having flu now, but sore throat's gone (Thank God!). I was like a zombie going out yesterdae, now I understand how Nina must have felt on that Raya outing. HeheHEE.
Great food yesterdae, sadly I couldn't taste a single !@#$%^&*() thing as my nose was bloody damn blocked. However, I was able to taste bits of it. How cheesy that lasagne was or how chocc-y the fudge cake was or how tasty the chicken was. Not that I'm complaining, all those thing added extra taste which I like! Haha.
Had similar (minus the great desserts) at home for dinner. Another great one. Hehehee. I really like the chicken!!! Gotta ask for recipe.
Mondae = big big dae with Survivor Finale.
Tuesdae = going out with my friends to Gelare.
So there is no way I'm going to watch Alexander. *sigh*
P.S: Personal homepage creation is doing just fine. Almost finish with content, now left with designing the layout. =) Should be up in 2 weeks if I'm not that busy. Which I might be 'cos already we have to do a report on FYP and submit it for editing.

So close!
I'm just 3 days away from Survivor Finale...
*sigh*
This saddens me.

Melancholic is the word of the dae.
That's how I feel todae. 3 hours have past since I last logged in, yet it felt like it has been 13 hours or 3 days (to exaggerate). Most of the time I felt that time passes by too quickly, yet todae it has the total opposite effect.
In 11 hours the pre-finale episode of Survivor will be shown here. I can't believe it, its over, already ?! Perhaps I'm already beginning to miss and yearn for it.
Had Beef Boloignaise Shepherd's pie meal for dinner at Delifrance. Let me tell you, cappucino and chesse do not go well together.
I'm rotting away online ... there's no one online that I can crap with and I'm in no mood to play AoM.
Everdae, when I boot my PC, I see the women of Vanuatu staring back at me. Its scary at times. I want to change my layout, but need to get some things altered first by Ms. Menot.
Since, I am bored to death, I shall update my blog with the next post.

I want to get Battle for Middle Earth
Saw this at Harvey Norman todae. It cost a whopping $54.90. It seems like an interesting game to play online. However, I wonder if many are playing it and will it last? Like the age series?
"Experience Middle-earth like never before in The Lord of the Rings™, The Battle for Middle-earth™, the first The Lord of the Rings game that puts you in command of a real-time, open world. Control the legendary heroes, massive armies, and epic campaigns of Middle-earth in over 25 missions based on all three films of The Lord of the Rings™ trilogy. From waging all-out combat among the vast forces of good and evil to controlling your favorite heroes and characters to managing the troops and resources of your side, the fate of a living, breathing Middle-earth is in your hands."
Sweeeeet! Someone get me one for X'mas? Or any other dae will do just fine. =)

Short-lived adventure
I think I was high on chocolate or whatever hormonal effects it might have. Had DOUBLE CHOCOLATE at McCafe with Nana the other dae. I instigated her eventhough I myself was full! We first had noodles and fried wan ton at Cahaya Restaurant. Damn the price had been marked up (by 50 cents, yes I can be a typical singaporean), the quality saddens me though. It seems worse than when it was $2.50. I had stomache cramps and discomfort near diaphragm area (or above the stomache), I have no idea why. Is it possible to strain/sprain your diaphragm muscles? Haha.
On the way to Cahaya, we met my s0n (not real of course, I'm too young!) and Smasher (whom I didn't recognize straight away). I didn't recognize hA, it was Nana who said Hi! first. I was still there looking around to whom was she waving to? They were going to meet some "bigshot" (or so they say) and asked us along. Of course, we immediately declined. And I mean, hello? I only had fried banana fritters for lunch (with no breakfast!) to prepare my stomache for this yummy dinner. So there is no way we're going to follow them without eating first. So off we go and off they went. Bye bye.
Went especially to Wheelock Place to go to the ladies (highly recommend). Then Nana wanted to go to Borders, to see what else but Tennis-related magazines. I couldn't find any nice game mags to look at, or maybe I'm just too outdated. Then we got our McCafe drinks (she had Mocha which was what I wanted at first). The double choc was extra bloody sweet.
After that we went to U2, FoxWo/Men bla bla bla anywhere that is at Taka and Wisma's basement area. We got limited time as well since we wanted to catch the (oh-so-not) Amazing Race. I'm definitely going back to have a better look (esp. with the sale season coming).
(Note: Thank God Gus and Hear wasn't eliminated or last. I told my parents that stacking those bloody fishes were easier than catching four. But nooo, they didn't believe me. Har har har.)

The fall of a Queen ... Part 2
A lot of people don't like her after she emerged as the villain (twist episode). She was projected as someone who listens to others and help but after that episode, BOOM! gone. Editing, editing, editing. Here are a few points that I would like to mention :
1) Believed to be a lesbian man-hating bit*h by some.
- "As long as its a guy" = her comment on who should go after the merge. Excuse me, she is in a WOMEN's alliance, she can't possibly say as long as its a girl right? or anyone for that matter. Of course its a guy. Unless if she has a male in her alliance. Well, I'm glad Rory was gone in that episode. So much for burning their camp. *smirks*
- Looking down on the men. I mean as if we have equality all around us? If we have men looking down on women on Survivor (like now ohh HOW COULD THEY EVER BEAT US IN THAT SO and SO CHALLENGE), no one called them women-hating b*st*rds. However, in REALITY, we call them male-chauvinist pigs. Haha. ;)
- She says that the emotion began in Ep 11 when they were trying to decide between Chris and Eliza. She said she really didn’t want to send Chris home. That she had just seen him try hard to win immunity and cry to his fiancée that he was going home and she didn’t want to send him home. - So much for a man-hater. *rolls eyes*
- Ami on the Survivor Live show : " And the funny thing is… the guys keep saying that their downfall was voting off John K, but that was NOT their downfall. He would have voted with us in A MINUTE because those men hold sold him down the river. If he would have been welling to go with us to five and then go on his own from there, I would have been happy to take him. " She would take in John K!!! Remember him giving her the Immunity Necklace? =)
- Ami: I love those little clips of Chris where he’s sitting back going “hehehehe” I LOVE IT! (laughs) Cracking me up. Hatch: what do you tell people about what is going on in the game right now because the dynamics between the women are really kind of riled up
Ami: It’s really hard for me to see because that is really how life is. Women are not very supportive of each other and it kills me
Hatch: it doesn’t have to be that way
Booker: You could all rule the planet. You’ve got everything.
Ami: So many women are bickering or not supporting each other. Not like, “hey you’re doing a great job! Get out and do more”
(Idle chatter about women)
Ami: I LOVE MEN, OKAY EVERYBODY. I LOVE MEN!
*winks*
2) At least she didn't come out as a sour grape.
- Call…
Q: Not a big fan.. you played at good game… your alliance got on my nerves. Were you really that mad at T/S? They just played the game and yeah that took you out but were you really that mad at them?
Ami: (Lost part of it but here is the jist) She says she doesn’t hold a grudge but that she was upset with Twila especially for swearing on her son’s life. “There was no reason for it because I trusted her anyway and to bring her son in it… I think the reason it affected me so much is losing my little brother and if something were to happen to her son…. For me I wasn’t mad or angry I was just disgusted that she would do that.” Ami goes on to say that Twila loves her son very much and that she is a great mom. That Twila talked about her son all the time. Reiterates again that she was just disgusted.
Hatch asks Ami: Can you separate it now?
Ami (smiling genuinely) Yeah, yeah. Totally.
- Rene: Last night at Tribal Council Eliza was talking about how much she would miss you if you were to go and you also said you would miss her. And you guys both teared up. And then guess who votes you off?
Ami: It was a smart move for her. The reason I didn't hit her as hard as I could have is that it really is the smartest move for her. And if it was me sitting in her seat, I'd have to say, I probably would have done the same thing. It's best for her game, so she's got to keep going.
Rene: So are you friends? Would you guys go out and have a beer? She stabbed you in the back!
Ami: No, she didn't stab me in the back. She did what she had to do to further her game and it bums me out that I couldn't have played longer with her because I really liked being around her. She did what was best for her game so I don't have any hard feelings.
3) Admitted her mistakes.
- They banter about playing the game and it not being about not liking someone but doing what you have to do to win… They clarify again. Ami says, “If wouldn’t have been me, then Leanne. And then Twila… and I would have just gone down the line but my three (leanne, ami, twila) in my game… was (fist pumping) solid as a rock and that’s what got me”
4) Can't believe she actually said something good about Scout (ugh).
- They discuss Chris for a bit. Ami says that Scout was the only one that felt that she needed Chris for labor. Ami says well why is scout out before dawn working anyway? Ami says should would have helped scout with it. Hatch says those are little nuiances of the game… “does that work really have to be done before dawn or is scout making herself a martyr”
Ami: I have to say something about scout. Everyone keeps asking, “Why is she still in the game?” That woman is AMAZING outdoors! I can’t say much for her witchcraft, but she can find food, she can make shelter. She’s good at leading at those. I was glad to have her out there. She’d tell us what we needed. It was a definite asset. With her handicap, she was still a very hard worker and I have a LOT of respect for that.
5) Now the bad Scout Hahaha.
- H: How’d it feel to be that close to winning the car?
A: If it were anyone else I would have been upset, but Eliza I was cool with. But you know what really pissed me off about that challenge? Throughout this, I would be out the rooting for everyone. I’d be like, “Scout, keep going you’re doing a great job.” And for Twila. And then all the sudden in this challenge, I hear Scout scream out, “Eliza. Beat Ami! Beat Ami!” I was like, “Ya know this doesn’t matter for anything but your ego. Pipe down witch, okay?” (laughter) That’s how I felt at that moment. I’m over it now.
6) The day after comments.
- The things I was aware of in this game have changed my life, and the biggest is forgiveness. Otherwise it weights you down. I experienced a day in this game where I was having evil thoughts and dark things, and I'm like this feels yucky, this feels bad, I could feel it making my face sink and making my body hunch over. And the second I realized that and took time to myself to focus on all the things I am thankful for and proud of, and until I did that I was letting that evil seep into me, and realizing that I have control over forgiveness in my life, that was huge for me. It's really hard to forgive people especially when you feel like you turned you back on someone and they stuck a knife in and shook it up, not just once or twice, but it really hurt. So being able to go down the road of forgiveness has been nice for me. I haven't been trying to figure out how to get them back, and that gives me back my power. I really like that feeling that's one of the biggest things that I walk away from this game with.
- The second thing I come away with was, the night I got voted off, is I woke up in the middle of the night and wrote down, "motivation is showing the appreciation for being given the gift of life". If you aren't motivated there is no appreciation for your life, what are you doing. I used to sleep in late, and now I get up with the sun, so I can do this and this, you appreciate life so much more when you're motivation. I've always had a great appreciation for life, but this heightens that by showing me what I can live with. I was never deprived, I felt like I was living off the earth together with the people around me. So for forty days, I was all natural and that was great. But sleeping on bamboo boards sucked and I am appreciative of a bed,etc. now
7) COME ON LET AMI BE ON THE AMAZING RACE !!! Than I won't miss a single episode ok? Really, I never watched a WHOLE season of TAR before.
Ami: I had seen bits and pieces. I tried out for the Amazing Race. I REALLY Wanted to do it!
Hatch: Me too!
A: Let's do it together! I talked to Eliza about it. Please just someone. I want to do the amazing race.
H: let's turn in an app and let's see
A: okay okay. But, yeah I didn't know anything about the merge. Eliza really was my education.
H: she was the guru.
A: She knew who won which challenge three years ago. What the challenge was. She knew EVEERYTHING about that. She was great.
A: My cousins in Australia encouraged me to apply. I was like, "Should I do this?" They were like, "What?!? OF course" So every week I wanted to stay on just for my family in Australia to see me.

The fall of a Queen ... Part 1
Ami Cusack, the alpha-female that once was the Queen bee has been dethroned by her lesser minions. This circle of boots came about after Princess Leann got blindsided and backstabbed by Redneck Twila. Redneck Twila feels that these two were getting uber cocky and smug. Oh Redneck Twila, weren't you getting cocky last episode? Oh the pleasure of voting off the Princess and knowing that the Queen's time is up. Wanting to screw Ami (I'm sure she doesn't feel the same way either :P) and kept emphasizing how she got Ami and bla bla bla. Btw, at least Ami and Leann admitted that they were cocky (during and post-show). They were over confidence about their power, strong alliance and the trust they have on others. But alas, this is their downfall. Leann should have known better, since she watched Survivor everytime. But people make mistakes, just like Dolly remember? She didn't want to lie so she practically told everyone whom she's voting for and her indecisiveness caused her to get the boot instead. (Also the case of the Rotu-4 of the Marquesas).
Ami was THAT close to winning the reward challenge (new car!) but she fell towards the end after gaining a lead on Eliza. So Eliza won and the 3 people who finishes first get to go on a SPA trip. Seriously, Chris doesn't look any different after getting back from that trip, only that he had a much better looking washed-clothes. Eliza, a bit but Ami, did you see the hair?
Knowing that she was gone anyway, she got irritated, became lazy and annoyed almost everyone at camp. Who wouldn't? If I, I would too... Rory wanted to do the same too but they won immunity so he didn't. Even worse, he wanted to burn the camp. Sick.
Well, for the immunity challenge, as always Ami was ahead with Chris close behind. But Ami decided to go offensive and try to knock Chris' disk out but she hit TWO of hers' instead. ARGH, I screamed ... And well Chris finally wins immunity which doesn't require physical or mental capabilities. Har har har. =P
And so Ami was voted out, after creating a stir during tribal council. She tried to create a problem for Twila by bringing up the swearing incident again. Showed the bond she has with Eliza (which were NEVER shown, hello?).
------ SIDE NOTE -------
It's sad though, what was Twila thinking? Ami mentioned that her F3 was her, Leann AND Twila. And did Twila really think she could get immunity to carry herself or others (Scout/Chris/Eliza) to carry her to F3? Dumb dumb move. Ami didn't doubt Twila but it was Leann, only wished Ami had listened to Leann and Leann had listened to Ami to not vote Eliza. F3 immunity challenge ALWAYS involves endurance, which I think Twila can get it easily and go to F2 (remember the pole challenge when she won?). Ough, she just got too panicky and stressed out. She got too carried away with her master plan working that she got cocky and pisses everyone off. And also that felt she was bullied by the very same people that would have carried her...
------------------------
Her comments after being voted out includes "it would be good to hold Twila under water for 2 mins" was funny actually, the next day on the Early Show, she said 2 mins wouldn't kill her, just scare her (laughing). She's just kidding guys... its the same as Rudy's comment about he having 'friends' (after being voted off ASS).
Actually, Ami applied to be on The Amazing Race but was asked to do Survivor instead. (she asked her cousins in Australia about this with them encouraging to go on Survivor) - YEY! Maybe that's why her audition tape is kinda plain, because its an interview section. She NEVER watched a whole season of Survivor before, Eliza was her helped, telling her what a merge was, what kinda challenges and stuff (Eliza commented that she liked when Ami asked her these things). So I am impressed that she got this far. But maybe if she had watched previous Survivor she might actually win it! Because then she knows she can't trust and be honest to every and anyone.
