Episode 7 Elimination Prediction

Tomorow's another survivor day, so I figure I'd do a post on who I think will be eliminated next.

The obvious picks for either tribes are Liz from Foa Foa, and Shambo from Galu.

Liz is targeted because she is deemed more threatening than Natalie who is in an alliance with Russell, who has been pretty much vocal in the people he wants out. Liz could be his next victim, if she doesn't try to out him and gather Mick or Jaison to target him. This is, however, very unlikely because the fellas seem to be tight and won't vote for each other. This will take a radical shift in their thinking if she could break apart the guys. Natalie, for that matter- try to get her and see to her that Russell is an untrustworthy man. But this will not be the case since last episode, the girls had their next votes already written in concrete based in the line of voting for each other.

Shambo, on the other, is actually looking up slightly, though not far away from being voted off. I say that because she, now, for many weeks of being on the bottom of Galu's totem pole, is actually looking to improve in her position. She seems like she is now on the outskirt of a dominant guy alliance which is good for her time being. She will only have to hang onto the alliance until the merge comes, then she can flip to Foa Foa and make a final four deal with them. The only way she could be gone this week is the guys don't trust her enough, thinking she would flip if she was to be kept until the merge. But, with all the editing, I get the feeling she'll avoid the next vote and perhaps make it to the merge with the boys' help.

Another likely evictee on Galu is Monica. She is deemed weak by the guys on her tribe and is linked to the growing girl alliance which will worry the guy aliance in the future. THey guys, especially, John who wants her out to weaken the girls abit.

So, in conclusion, I get the feeling that Monica will be gone and Foa FOa will somehow pull a victory in the immunity challenge. It will spare my fav, Liz, another week.

Reality in Need of Checking

I am in constant thnking mode. No matter where I am, who I'm with, or what I'm doing, something is always on my mind, occupying the thought process. It always begins in the feeling of my inferiority nerve, in which my current situation has resulted in this way, that leads to surreal imagery that makes my world seemed better. Only it is happening in my head. Then, when I see myself again, in real life, the thought of the surreality went away with a bang, causing me to feel depressed. HOw can I cure such a thing? The thought always head to a disappointment when I realise that I was only dreaming the impossible. Could there be a pill for this disease?

Doctor, help!

The Chinese Incentive

I've been trying to rediscover my Chinese roots again. As I have so much free time on hand these days, I've been thinking about learning Mandarin. THis will help me to have some motive to get pass each day. Beside, I'd like to visit China someday.

Hopefully one of these days, I will try to write a blog in fully Chinese.

10 Things I Hate About This Place

10. Everything feels like a prison. We get watched over by these fucked up people. They watch you in every move you make. I mean every f***ING move. Freedom is not a word in their vocabulary. If you step out of linefor just one sec, they'll discriminate, saying nasty things about you to others. f*** THEM

09. The children are also as fucked up as the adults. They have no sense of boundary. The adults don't reinforce any rules to them either, but further promote the badness in the children. SHitheads.

08. The food is repetitive. They don't have the sense that people get sick of the same food over time. But instead of trying to make things nicer to eat but introducing novelty in the food cycle, they tend to have things simlarly every night. When I say these things, I really mean them. ANd they're not exaggerations, either.

07. I hate that I have to take care the children. They don't even listen to the adults, so what is the point in looking after them if they don't follow you. Why bother? This mindset is bad, i know. However, as the situation is that grave as this, it won't be a difference anyhow. It leads me to feeling bad at times, but ultimately, I didn't make myself do it.

06. The constant screaming at the children for their misbehaving. Then they'd still do the same thing after you've just told them off. This leads to further resentment between me and the children and the f***** adults for not doing anything about it.

05. The adults think that they're helping me out, with shelter and food. F*** that! I never asked to be here. It's the situation that made me have to choice but to stay.

04. Depression. Alienation. Repression. Frustration. Just some words, describing the feelings I get to enjoy each morning with dealing the whole I'm-stuck-inshit-hole situation. Crappation.

03. Stuck in square room each night. After dinner, I'd just move myself inside my room and spend the remainer of the night in this room. Pathetic little life.

02. The fact that I get down looked upon by these clueless people. They think that I'm useless, only here to leech off their precious rice, their resources, etc. They think I do absolutely nothing andbecase of that, don't even deserve their attention. They make it like the things just get done on its own, the cleaning, the washing, the folding, the vacuuming, etc. just the tiny things they don't see. Not only these things, I have to look after the children after school, read to them, get them fed, washed, make them do homework, make them practice piano, etc. IT's endless. The day is repetitive in this sense. IT's very tiresome, physcially and emtionally as well. Yet, they never see it.

01. FREEDOM. or its non-existence

Trouble with Fashion

Tonight,I'm invited to a dine-out with people from Australia. They are family by marriage through my second oldest brother. It is a formal occasion, so the dressware must not be of casual t-shirts, which I am mostly dependent upon for everyday wear. Now, Im facing a problem I have not yet accustoedto doing. I don't usually wear the formal clothing. Shirt, tie, suit, not my appetine. However, I have to for tonight. First time for everything, aye.

Mt. Fuji

Today, my sister and I were discussing about the possibility of going somewhere off our radar, if we were finally freed from this confinement. She initially thought of going around New Zealand, travel in a car from here to the bottom South. I shrugged off the idea because I wouldn't like having to stuck inside another smaller confinement/car with her for who knows how long. Beside, being imprisoned in this country doesn;t want me to travel in this place anyway. She understood it.
I suggested that we should make our trip to Mt Fuji in Japan. I was thinking that since I've been really into Japan and that I've always wanted to go there, this would be a very good opertunity. Plus, it would be a metaphorical symbol, in the sense that, if we did make it to summit, it would truly reflect on our overcoming the obstructions that we are facing now. Plus, it would be an experience she and I won't forget, and something we'll be able to tell our family about. Kim agreed and added she's always like sushi, so she could alot of them there.
So we're set. We will climb Fuji-san when we free from here.

Stop the Madness!!

My mind is doing me no good. I have been thinking lately, and as I said in an earlier blog, that constant struggle of my mind for something worth feeling proud of is nothing but crappy. What I mean is that I have an addiction, if that is it, for this feeling of being superior, be it by money or power. So my mind tend to wonder off in search of power that I lack. As a result, I have become this insane, delusional person. Stop the madness inside my head!!!
I serious need therapy.

Insomnia


Lately in the wake of the bad news from my lawyer, I haven't been able to sleep. I don't what, but perhaps the bad news had turned my mind into a carnival. I had been imagining the most surreal images, where the world is set in another realm. Ok, I won't go forward with details of my imaginations but they have been a headache for me. I'm just hoping life will be better after the whole ordeal with my current situation.

Survivor Samoa Episode 6

I live in New Zealand so the show Survivor Samoa hasn't aired here yet. However, I was able to watch it on youtube.



Anyway, I was watching the episode 6 this week, where one of the castaways was evacuated due to medical reasons. It was a boring episode being mainly that there wasn't an elimination by vote and the drama was repetitive. By not having the vote at the end of the episode was anti-climactic and that it was very dull as the scheming that took place prior in the episode was due for nothing. I guess the producers wanted to have something new added to the show. From a fanatic fan as I am, I wasn't pulled in by it. Sorry.



From now on, I will rank the castaways on how I think they are placed in the game position.



FOA FOA

1. Mick- he was the only one in Foa Foa that no one seemed to target. At least, he will make it past the next few votes.



2. Russell H.- being that he was the only castaway in the episode that never complained about the bad weather condition, and that he was perceived by the tribe as a valuable player in the challenges and providing them, he is likely to be targeted in the next vote.



3. Jaison- being a physical player in a losing tribe only means you will meant around for your strength. However, Jaison seems like his heart is giving in, so I'm taking it as a sign that he will either be eliminated

4. Natalie- She seems to be in the better position of the two girls remaining. As Russell who is her ally, I think she might squeaked in for another vote.

5. Liz- I like Liz a lot and I hope she will do well. However, with Russell targeting her, it is not a surprise if she goes home next week. Moreover, she needs to convince Mick and Jaison to oust either Natalie or Russell but preferably Russell if she could pull the string this way.

GALU
With the majority of the tribe we haven't yet met, it is very hard to decipher who these people are. Only Erik, Dave and Shambo, the remaining Galuvians I know about, I can't make judgements on the others but presumably they have a clique going, hence the 90210. I think only Monica and Shambo are in trouble from this pack. I'm guessing Shambo will be the first lamb to the slaughter house, sadly.

So as you can see, the people in trouble are Liz, Natalie from Foa Foa and MOnica and Shambo from Galu.

PErsonally, the season has been sucking. The cast is the fault here, I would say. There aren't many players around and most of them are either obnoxious or invisible. I hate to say it- the season isn't looking up either if the whole FOa Foa is decimated to merge and they'll be picked off one by one.

First Blog EVER!!

Hey everyone that's reading this. I figured, since I'm a keen reader of other people's blogs, that I ought to begin one of my own. My blog will feature my thoughts and feelings that life has to offer. It will be of nothing and everything. Besides, by writing these blogs, I hope, in return, it will improve my writing ability.

SO, let me introduce myself. My name is Stephen Kang, am 20 years old, and living in Auckland, New Zealand. I am currently mooching at my aunt's house and grudgingly help out with some chores as part of return for staying here free, if that is a real job. I hate animals and babies. I hate things that moan alot and do nothing and are selfish. I enjoy gaming, movies, and just simply sleeping. Though, all of these enjoyments, I don't practice them enough. I don't possess as many games as I ought to, as the only game I ever owned at present is called LittleBigPlanet on PS3. I sleep less than the recommended time of eight hours per day, and I just don't have the money to see any films that have come out since last year. Though, if the ones that screen on TV count, then movie watching isn't scarce of an enjoyment.

See, the blog is already interesting, huh. I hope you will like it(not!) and return soon for more.

Stephen
