Riding the highs, again

More often than not, I'll get responses like;
"So you can read my mind!"
"Haha you're going to be around crazy people"


This is after having learnt I major in Psychology. I'd like to address two major misconceptions about it (:


1) We cannot read your minds. Simply because we are not psychics (and also because I'm only a student-human HAHA). Although the two share a common root word here 'psych' but no, we really cannot read your minds. Maybe to twist this a little bit, yes, we can infer what MIGHT be on your mind based on your behaviour, your thoughts (when you express them verbally), your speech, your personality. In a nutshell, psychologists exist to understand the complexity of human behaviour and mental processes. And to accomplish this, they use various means to comprehend such a complex task through interviews, consultation, clinical means and so on. These require a lot of "prying" which allows them to arrive to certain "conclusions" which are often confused with the "results of mind reading".

2) One branch of psychology focuses on mental disorders. Or perhaps it could be one of the larger branches since majority of people studying this proceed to be clinical psychologists which focus on mental health. Hence the association between psychology and the mental. But there are other branches as well like organisational psychology, educational psychology, child psychology, biological psychology, social psychology and the lists just go on because it's such a broad study. So it's not just only confined to the mental health. But yes, I'd like to experience working in IMH someday.

I cannot express how high we are today. It all started in nuurun's car whereby 98.7fm was played. And at that point in time, the muttons mentioned about the Subaru Challenge and Lookie had this sudden interest to participate in it, so all of us kept ringing 98.7 crazily and Adit got through! SO LOOOKIEE will be in the Subaru Challenge! We were so high because what are the chances right! It was ZE HIGHTEST MOMENT man hahahahah. I cannot wait till the day of the competition where he must place his hands on the car! We'll support you! Dinner and company were great, enough said!

Ah, after several years I'm still in love with Hands Down. The favouritest part of the favouritest song (:


Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember,
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo,
the dim of the soft lights,
the scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers and
the time on the clock when we realized
it's so late and the walk that we shared together.
The street was wet and the gate was locked
so I jumped it and let you in
and you stood at the door with your hands on my waist
and you kissed me, like you meant it
but you meant it and I knew that you meant it,
that you meant it, that you meant it,
and I knew, that you meant it, that you meant it.

Back to basics

Once again the heavy downpour. Certainly the rhythmic sound of the rain, slapping against the floor, against the windows, have conjured images in our heads of the pleasant idea of sleeping, or reading with hot cocoa (but of course this wouldn't be possible due to fasting), or just snuggling up in bed. How nice. But here I am almost dressed and ready for school. I don't know why, but it has been quite some time since I felt like I've been in school, like proper school. Perhaps it's the three days mc I've got. But now, I feel like I'm energized despite fasting, all set and ready for school. The scent of cooking porridge and spaghetti made me all excited to get through 2 lectures, one meeting and a bus ride home back welcomed by the sumptuous breaking fast meal although I'd only be back by eight-ish. Today shall be the first in a long time I'd make an appearance in French class. It's been more than a week. Wish me luck that my temperature won't rise...

Coincidence helps you in some way

There's this guy who happens to be in the same stats and developmental psych tutorial as me, and we knew each other through those classes. So after our class yesterday, we happened to board the same bus, happened to go to the same place, and happened to need to deposit money as well. I brought half of my wad of notes from money I collected from Hari Raya and the money I received from tuition too. Anyway, thankfully for the guy, he told me that the machine does not accept 5-dollar, and 2-dollar notes and MAJORITY of the thick wad of notes I brought were. Can you imagine how stupid I would look if I were to put the whole wad of notes there and they would all be rejected? And I had FORGOTTEN about it, so dumb please. You know, families should give you $10 notes instead of $2s (HAHA). So geez, I only managed to bank in abit only. After everything, the guy had to go for his taekwondo classes and I'm meeting Qeen, AND after spoken about exams, exchange programmes, past schools, bad ...
