Being Food Science students, it is important for us to know why human breast milk cannot be made into cheese.

Maths gotten A. Heng those chim questions did not screwed me and those easy one are really easy ones. Maths can be deceptively difficult at times.

Karen Ho was not happy that some of us did not attempt the tutorial.

Ah Phoon was silently furious at those latecomers and that some of us did not attempt the tutorial. He *hinted* that both buffer and chemical kinetics are important.

After the 1 hour Microbiology Lab session, we had the June monthly gathering with Ms Weeping. This time, she borrowed the idea of her Sunday School activity for Father's Day. She spent her own money on 2 packs of colour-coated wires. We were supposed to use 2 wires to bend out bookmark of whatever shape we like. As expected, there was moral behind this activity, a bit philosophical I would say which I like. Some of them are:

----Every piece is a master piece as it is unique, shaped by us.
----The finished product could tell the personality, habits and thoughts of the maker.
----Simplicity is beauty.
----It takes a genius to decipher what is the shape the maker has depicted.
----Simple people can be complicated and vice versa.

In my opinion, this session was better than the previous dart-throwing session, in terms of the ideas and thoughts behind it. Me don't like goal-setting...



I know that this cannot function as a bookmark but is it really so complicated until cannot decipher what I made? Me think Ms Weeping still dunno what it is.

Lastly, I did the test Are You a Secure Lover? by Tickle.


You're not someone who is easy to get close to. You tend to keep people at a distance and in a romantic relationship you're not entirely comfortable with emotional intimacy or commitment. Potential partners may feel that you are a bit mysterious and are a challenge worth pursuing.

Attachment style begins in infancy with the interactions we have with our parents or primary caregivers. Through these early relationships we begin to understand the dynamics and patterns of close relationships and we carry this perspective into our adult relationships.

Psychologists have identified four different relationship attachment styles: secure, preoccupied, dismissing avoidant, and fearful avoidant. Despite the alarming sounding names of some of these styles, there are many understandable reasons why people develop them. Further along in this report we will explain some of the issues underlying each of the attachment styles.

21% of those who have taken our test share this style of attachment.

Dismissing Avoidant

The dismissing avoidant attachment style is theorized to develop when the needs of an infant are consistently not met by the primary caregiver. Bowlby originally observed this style of attachment following World War II in over crowded British orphanages. Because there were so many children and so few staff, the babies were often left alone in cribs for extended periods of time. Not having their basic needs of hunger and affection met, these children learned that the world and the people in it could not be counted on to take care of them.

People with dismissing avoidant attachment style tend to very independent and self-reliant. They don't usually find it easy to open up to others or to let themselves depend on other people. They tend to withdraw from their romantic partner when they or their partner are under stress. When it comes to sex, they are more likely than those with other attachment styles to engage in casual sex. People with a dismissing avoidant attachment style can be attractive because getting to know who they truly are poses an intriguing challenge.
