Testosterone

Was finally in a room filled with more males than females. Oh-so-rare since I joined this course. I was shocked. wth... so not use to an environment with higher male population.. At the end of the day, it reminded me of how enjoyable the company of the opposite sex was!

I also.....
Met 'Creepy'. Laughed about 'Creepy' all the way back home.... sigh... creepy

Hell... lp

The start of a new sem and I'm already up to my neck.
Need a swim tmr.
Longest streak ever of not going swimming.
Blame winter.
Blame exams.
Blame the environment.
Blame MYSELF.

Swim to destress. I forgot about that!

The Golden Globes 2011- The two bestr dressed, in my opinion

I had a nap. During that nap I had a dream. A dream which lingered in my memory even when I am awake. Told people about it. Great laughter ensued. It was a bad dream! I hope that dream will never come true......

I am at aw with the dress worn by Natalie Portman and Catherine Zeta Jones during the Golden Globes recently. Both were equally stunning! *Pics from people.com*

SEM is in!

It looks like technologies are progressing. Currently, the in thing to do is to take really, really close-up pictures. We tend to want to know what goes beyond the naked eye. One way to do that is through Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM). Interesting shots below: SOURCE

Clearing the air

Something which took so much time to be clarified and explained last night came to an end, i hope after this message:
"Over the past 24 hours..... enquiries....perceived inequity....We(lecturers) do not discriminate...Students showing initiative..."
Its just a very, very short summary :P
*Imagine a photograph here labelled 'Secret tutorial' for over a hundred ppl to view*

Coincidentally, my Daily Horoscope says:
"Discussions with those close to you could lead to the discovery of new concepts, perhaps from foreign cultures. You will want to learn more about them, Virgo, as will your friends."

We did, didn't we :)

Wishing for a Snow Day so that exams will be postphoned? Highly unlikely to happen when the forecast for next week looks like this:

How long ago was it when we had temperatures of 9 or 10 degrees in Glasgow? I can't recall.
A nice weather, but unfortunately we can't go out and play because of the major, mind boggling stressful papers on that week!

Spending crisis

2011's resolution: Stinge!

As of midnight tonight, VAT increases from 17.5% to 20%. Previously I was penny pinching. As of tomorrow, I'm gonna be Pound pinching extra hard!
Price increament for everything from phone bills, electrical goods, meals, train tickets etc....
Stinge.. stinge.. stinge.... aih...
Looks like the GREAT SALES will never be a good as previous ones ever again....

Whats worse is when retailers are allowed to do this:
"And until February 1, stores are being allowed by the Government to apply the 20 per cent rate by marking up the price paid at the till, rather than on shelf labels."
"It means shoppers will not know the true cost of items until they go through the checkout, raising the prospect of disputes and queues as they come to terms with being asked to pay more."

Need to stinge and...do the math when reading shelf labels.

Scottish food

The one thing I've always wanted to know was, "What is Scottish's food?" Every Scot I have asked could only name me one - Haggis. Some say soup! Before coming to Glasgow, I've been told to try Haggis too. SOURCE

So, I found a couple more Scottish food.. I could make one of my new year resolution as "To try all the Scottish food!"
Haggis - A Scottish Staple. A bag stuffed with minced heart, liver and lung boiled in lamb stomach.

Roasted Grouse

Abroath Smokie - Scotland's version of salted fish

Scotch eggs - Hardboiled eggs wrapped in minced sausage and coated with breadcrumbs.
This doesn't sound too hard to be eaten or made.

Black pudding - Congealed blood wrapped in intestine, battered and deep fried.

2010 wasn't too bad. Almost everything I wanted to be done was done. Hoping 2011 will be a better year. Feng Shui master said it will be a good year for those with the Virgo sign. I'd like to believe that :)

I'm not even done with the Christmas posts and New Year is here.
We had a small do at the halls.

The ones who helped out with the words :)
The anticipation to look out for fireworks that goes BANG!


A nice finale to 2010 and a great start to 2011!
