Blessed

I AM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOWWWW! >.<

I just wanna hug everyone. /HUGGSSS

Free hugs, anyone?

I've just completed my assignment which is not due tomorrow but the tutor wants to have a look at the draft anyways. I've been so stressed out and distracted lately. Especially with Twitter and Facebook, even though there's nothing interesting going on. Haha. Actually I'm sort of "stalking" someone and I think I might have scared him away on Twitter :/ But I just wanna be friends :( Oh wells.

About the assignment. I've honestly given my best despite the procrastination so I hope it turns out well. I've never known how badly assignments can contribute to my grades. Now that I know, I'm not about to screw it especially when I know I can score in this. 

God works wonders, doesn't He? :D

I was about to give up doing my assignment. I know you're thinking, "Assignments. Pffft. A piece of cake." But seriously. I was stuck at one point and really didn't know how to go about with it. I've downloaded about 20 journals but most of them I found out later were kinda irrelevant. I even gave up reading the journals cos they were so long winded =.=
 I was about to give up when I remembered an inspirational quote which says,
 "God will not give you what you cannot handle"
 And so I held on to it. I prayed for God to give me the strength to carry on and I know if I try my best, He would guide me through.

Time was also a factor. I'm not about to show papers filled with crap to the tutor tomorrow.  That would be idiotic

I'm not trying to sound intimidating or in any way trying to creep you off. But facing these circumstances I can only count on God, although I'm not all that sure of my religion. But I know that there's a God and believing in God makes things a lot easier. 

So thank you, God. You are amazing in every way.

I've been listening to U-Kiss 0330 although I know nothing of what they are singing. But the music is AWE-SAAAMMM! When I say I've been listening, I've had it on replay for more than 10 times. I'm still not sick of it. :/

First time putting up a Korean video. Ahha!

And no, I'm still not into K-pop or whatever. But guys who can dance are really hot.

Things are finally getting in place. I can feel it. I know I can do well in this mid-term if I give it my all again. 
:D

I have a sudden craving for satay panggang. Pork satay. I WANTTT

It's All About Respect

So I recently wrote about Amanda Todd in my WordPress blog. If you don't know who she is, search her up or watch her video on YouTube. 

I don't wanna repeat what I wrote. So if you want, you can read the post on the WordPress blog.

Today, I learned about interview skills and writing resume in Mass Communication class.
The guest lecturer emphasized on respect because how you act in your everyday life will somehow reflect in your interview.
She said, "No matter what position you're applying for or just whatever you do, respect everyone."

Then she moved on to say,
"How many of you took the public transport to class today? Before you left, did you say thank you to the driver?"
"How many of you thanked your mother today?"
"How many of you say thank you when you get your food served to you in a restaurant/ food stall?"

Well, there was a handful of people who did raise their hands.
It was sad to say I only did 1 out of the 3 of what she said
:/

I wanted to say thank you to the bus driver when leaving the bus this morning but I hesitated.
Why did I hesitate?
Hmmm...

Anyway, going back to Amanda Todd, she didn't respect herself enough that it came to a point where she would willingly send a nude picture of herself
But others did not respect her by trashing her unnecessarily online.
Again, I emphasize.
What she did with her life does not interfere with the lives of these bullies.
So, I see no reason for people to bash her for something she chose to do.

I digress a little
I recently went to Penang and donated blood!
Pictures will be up later
Now it's assignment time and study for mid-term

Psychology Jokes

Here's some jokes my senior posted on Facebook

Welcome to the Psychiatric Hotline.
If you are obsessive-compulsive, please press 1 repeatedly.
If you are co-dependent, please ask someone to press 2.
If you have multiple personalities, please press 3, 4, 5, and 6.
If you are paranoid-delusional, we know who you are and what you want. Just stay on the line so we can trace the call.
If you are schizophrenic, listen carefully and a little voice will tell you which number to press.
If you are depressed, it doesn't matter which number you press. No one will answer.
If you are delusional and occasionally hallucinate, please be aware that the thing you are holding on the side of your head is alive and about to bite off your ear.


 " I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure."

 "Once I had multiple personalities, but now we are feeling well."

 "Doctor, doctor, I've only got 59 seconds to live.
Wait a minute please."


And yes, it's 3 am and I'm still not asleep. 
No mood to attend class later

The Loftus Theory

I have to choose 1 out of 6 topics to do my assignments on in PSY 111: Introduction to Psychology part 1

And one of the questions were:
Loftus Theory of False Memories : Is it really possible for someone to remember an event that never really happened at all?

Sounds intriguing?

So I googled it. 
Omg, it's so interesting!

This theory was basically formulated by Elizabeth Loftus, a PhD holder in cognitive psychology.
She believes that you can implant a false memory into the brain of a person.
What she does in short is gather a group of teenagers mostly around the age of 14- 20 and she tells them that they are a part of an experiment to determine if they can remember their childhood memories.
She has a family member of the teenagers to participate in this experiment as well.
What the family member has to do is write down 3 real events which happened during the teenagers' childhood and a false event.
The false event is often about losing the way in the shopping mall at the age of 5 and being found by an elderly person.

The teenagers will have to read and write down these 4 events for 5 consecutive days.
They will be called for an interview to describe the 4 events and rate them on a scale of 1 to 10 on how well they can remember these events.
A week or two later, they will be called back again and the same processes are repeated.

What is so shocking is that most of them say that they can remember the false event pretty vividly and rated it pretty high. Whereas a true event was rated pretty low.

Finally, the teenagers were told that the false event never really occur in their childhood. Most of them found that hard to believe.

Read about it here! Loftus Theory

But it became so disturbing for me when I read about this teenage girl in the States who accused her father of killing and raping her best friend.
In reality, the event didn't happen and it was said that when her former best friend passed away, the teen implanted a false memory because of sadness and hatred towards her father.

Omg just read about the Loftus Theory. 
It's damn interesting.

Makes me wonder now whether whatever happened in Inception can actually happen in real life
