Another jigsaw... :)

I bought another new jigsaw puzzle last week, and finished it over the weekend (with my sis and a friend)! :P It's beautiful...! And actually quite difficult! The sky was the last bit that we did, and it's more like trial and error. We had to arrange the remaining pieces according to their shape, so that we can fit what the shape looks like. We did pretty well on that! Hehe...

Amazing Race... So sad...

What a disappointment! :( [You must already know that the Beauty Queens didn't win... sigh...]

But I must say, it was quite a fitting final task... The team mates had to literally be of one-mind! The first team mate goes in to answer a series of questions on their opinions of other teams in the race (eg Which team is the least trustworthy? or Which team is most over-rated?), and their answers will translate into a 4-digit code to be used to lock a safe with the final clue inside. The second team member will then go into the same room to answer exactly the same questions, and if they can match their team mate's answers, they will arrive at the same 4-digit code and thus able to open the safe. This task required team members to constantly be communicating with each other throughout the race, and to know how each other feels about other teams.

I thought the Beauty Queens would do well on this task, but unfortunately they didn't. On the other hand, Eric & Danielle did quite well, and as Eric mentioned it helped that Danielle talks & gossips a lot. Hahaha.... That was quite funny. :)

Jigsaw Mania!

It's been awhile since I touched any jigsaw puzzles, and suddenly had the urge to do it. Hehe. So I went to Popular bookshop to buy a piece of cardboard to make my jigsaw puzzle on, then... let the jigsaw mania begin!! :P

On the first nite, I spent about 2 hours getting only this done (eh... it's harder than it looks, ok!! :P )... I always start with the borders first... Got system leh.. ;P
The next day, I spent another 2-3 hours with my sis, and we managed to get this done... The blue sea and sky didn't exactly make it easy at all.. sigh...
On the third day, we spent another 2 hours (I think) to give this:
And finally, finally... the MASTERPIECE!!
Now gonna go shopping for a new jigsaw.... :P

Amazing Race All Stars (Season 11) - Final 3!

Finally, we're at the final 3 of the Amazing Race All Stars! Much as I'd have liked Romber (Rob & Amber... remember Survivor?) to be there, it's exciting nonetheless. They did make good television. :P

So here's the final 3:
1) The Beauty Queens, Dustin & Kandice
2) Charla & Mirna
3) Eric & Danielle

I'll be putting my money on the Beauty Queens! They proved that not all blondes are dumb! Haha... They are beautiful and street-smart. They were able to perform almost all their tasks without much difficulty. They were participants in the Season 10 Amazing Race, but due to a bit of bad luck, was ousted out jst before the final leg of the race. Now, they've been given a 2nd chance and I really hope that they WIN!!

With the hype of them being beauty queens, I wondered which beauty pageant they were both in. After some research on the internet, I found out that they were roommates while competing for the Miss America 2006 pageant. :) Dustin represented California while Kandice was Miss New York.

I'll be rooting for them to win the US$1m race this coming Monday!
