HAAHAHAAA..I cannot stop laughing at this! OMG! seriously? (in the Izzie way, not CK way...)

Events

Life had been very busy, exciting and exhausting as well...assignments are like waves, one came and go, and another one came right after the previous...we are struggling to breathe in between the waves..oh well, there is only a few more waves left until the tsunami (READ: exam!) came..

Anyway, lets leave the stress part aside and talk about the activities we had in the past few weeks..we had an academic symposium early Oct where we invited some professors from Lancaster University to share some of their research and we also have students presenting their research in the different Auditorium. there is also a poster gallery where students presented their findings to the public...all in all it was a very informative symposium..we did learned new information through this event, although it may not be alot that had been absorbed..lol

Symposium 2008!

The keynote speaker, Prof Charlie Lewis.

On this special day, I just wana wish you Happy Birthday! may you always look as young as me...lolHappy Birthday Mummy <3>

The abused words

Ever since I took Psychology..there are a few words that had been overused or might I say, abused. Lemme take you through the top 5 of the list...

1. Define
First thing in psychology I learned was definition. you wana do a research, your definition for your variables are so darn frigging important! because if you din define your variables properly, your results will be affected..and so, we started to ask for definition at every chance we have..

A: How's the movie? is it good?
B: Define 'good'
A: ......

2. Reliable
We run test and do research most of the time, the instruments we used have to be valid and reliable or our research is good as never did..and it became a habit to ask if the source were reliable...

A: there is a flash flood on the way back to kepong.
B: Is ur source of news reliable?
A: .......

3. OCD
Which stands for Obsessive-compulsive disorder. Lemme brief you a lil bout it, OCD- a chronic anxiety disorder commonly characterized by obsessive, distressing related compulsion. often used to describe someone who is meticulous, perfectionistic or otherwise fixated on something or someone. [source from wikipedia] do not ask me about the reliability!
I would say we used this term way more often than we should LOL someone reprinted the assignment just because one small tiny micro mistake, someone who wipes all the cutleries before eating at the cafeteria, someone who wipe and clean the laptop and so on will all end up as an OCD to us..lol

4. Bias
As we read journals about psychological testing, most of it were did and carried out in the West. most of the time, when we wana write about the limitation about a test/research, thats what we write: "The research may be culturally bias" or whatever bias that you can think of...but we tend to use it in a different way...say, when you cant print your notes but your frens did right before you - "bias la tis computer!"

5. wtf
just kidding...because I cant think of anymore, actually I did..I wrote it down but the paper's gone..=.= but well I guess we abused this word alot too...u cant prove me wrong because I have strong evidence...please visit here and here....LOL

p/s: to YL and Suet, dun get offended..just kidding!

Because chocolate release endorphins

so I ate a choc bar at 2am in the morning...and I feel happy!

really stressed up, there are so much to read, so many test to run...and thats why I need chocolate to do the magic..I need some endorphins to make me happy and chocolate definitely is a better choice than exercise....at this hour at least..

back to journals....

Research

okay..excited no more because it gets cool down by research...

God, mid sem break is over....OVER! and I complete nothing.....as usual =.=

people I need participants who exercise regularly, irregularly and not exercise at all to do some memory tests. I promise it wont take u more than 20 minutes. so feel free to contact me, if u cant come for the test I can go to u! please just take part! I dun need u to exercise, just memory test! and lemme measure your BP that's it.

another thing is I need ONE participants to take part in an intelligent test. Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS). This will take about one hour to one and a half hour. Anyone interested to do it? It's fun..and it's free! you need to pay if u were to do one outside ok?

haih, due dates never ends...

IZEXCITED

yes..that is how happy I am because my espresso brown is finally here! was too busy transferring all folders from desktop to laptop, plus I went out in the evening to watch MPAC year end production so I dun have time to upload the pictures and talk about my new toy yet..hehe btw the Y.E.P went well, other than the audio system was abit too soft..I can only hear Abraham and speaking of which I think he did a splendid job! great work MPAC!

ok..back to my laptop...

ohh..hallo~

Can you do it next week?

I hate my neighbours....when they disturb my sleeps!

one grumpy perfectionism from the back is not good, but when your next door neighbour start renovating their house, it become your worst night mare! Oh Gawd, every morning as early as 9am they start ping ping piang piang...do it on another week la...I am having my mid sem break and I seriously wana enjoy my sleeps before it ends...now I gonna plug in my headphone and blast my music loud to cover up the noise!!!

Of green and yellow...and black

because I forgot about the theme =.="

we had a lil social gathering before the raya holiday, we played some games at the department and proceed to Summer BBQ steamboat buffet to have our dinner. I'll let the pictures tell the story, all in all I enjoyed the night very much! and I guess everyone else did too ;) thanx Cassie and Joyce and all the other committee

The first game was "Stick it and guess it"
you are suppose to guess what is on your forehead

we are only allow to ask one person one question,
and it must only be a yes or no question.

The 2nd game is "Tie or Die"
2 tie (1blue and 1 grey) will be passed around the group
we need to tie and untie the blue tie and pass it on
whereas the grey tie need to tie twice
2 ties cannot fall on the same person at the same time

Ms. G lost the first round
and we made her dance...aint she sporting? hehe

The 2nd round loser were asked to write the word Mississippi
.....with their butt

the 3rd game is the "who am I?" or the blanket game
where we have to shout out the opponent's name once the blanket were pulled off

I think Ms. E did enjoyed the game..lol

oh Man..their expression is priceless!

CRZ: Priya!!!
Dr. Priya: ............

okay..the loser dance around the psy lab...

the view from our buffet shop...

us at the rooftop...

food! food!

Cassie were busted curi makan...

BBQ Chicken and ham..

BBQ seafood~~~

The Group Pic before we leave..

Priority

thou I'd hate to admit this but reality is always cruel...

We live in a real world, thou equalization is striving to get a stand for itself in this society but it just never gonna happen...not when I'm still alive. There is always priority in your life, so that you make a choice according to your priority..i.e friends comes after family, play time comes after homework, love comes after career, etc. but priority differs from people to people..as u can easily found people who set partners comes after friends/family, homework comes after fun, and so on.....

well, I'd had that fact slap right into my face a couple of weeks ago, I wont go into detail because people do reads blog so Imma keep this low. The feeling of being abandoned suck like hell....althou in that situation is nobody's fault but it doesnt mean I dun feel how sucky it was...

I dun wana make myself sound like a scrooge but I do think we deserve some respect from people like you who make us your option instead of priority!
