Ambiguous. 1:06 AM

Well, there is no right or wrong answer to my previous post.
It all depends on the perception of different individuals.
It's so wonderful that such simple experiment have proved that there are many issues and questions may always remain unresolved as it would be perceived as right to some people or wrong to the others.

damn... now it makes it even difficult for me to make important decisions in life. such as deciding which cafe to go for a chocolate drink (most of the time, all of it taste the same to me) or what colour should I wear to go with my water bottle.. swt ><"
I wonder if everyone have the same problem as I had.
But I would worried sick for you if you can't identify the pictures below correctly! :P

glimmers. 1:14 AM

The cozy sun light shining in through my windows that used to wake me up from bed have turned vigorously hot recently. It has indicated that the summer holiday is drawing dreadfully close and the only year being as a freshman in university is ending really soon.

On my way up to the university drive during that perfect morning, the sun ray was hitting hard on my skin. It was irritable and it feels unpleasent. Adding to the fact that many fat little bugs and flies have decided to come out from hibernation and start tailing and rounding human beings at any given opportunity. However, it did not spoil my day.

A thought struck me suddenly.

Thinking back of the hot weather back in Malaysia, it often makes me wonder how did Asians manage to survive from the heat all this time. I've forgotten how hot it can always get back to the time where I used to travel in buses with no air-conditioner for hours and hours everyday. It has been 9 months since being away from home.

i miss home


Guess how many times I have moved within this 9 months?
Answer : FOUR times.
Well, it may sound not worthwhile worrying about it but think of all the time spent moving and all the fuss of packing, unpacking and repacking that you need to do. After being in houses with conditions that irritates the hack out of me, I have finally settle into a house that suits me best. yeah!

I have been living in this house for the 4th month now and enjoy staying here with the all the freaks. :P b'coz i'm a freak tooThe house of freak consists of
Carolina, weird yet bubbly Mexican surfer
Judith, the German clean freak
Sally, typical Korean who cooks very well
Elysia, from Malaysia speaks a lot of nutrition
Mona, generous Persian girl from Cairns


Marie, our landlady with all the freaks in the house.

Very little brain. 12:40 PM


Looking over to the corner of my room where books and notes were stacked up in one big pile, I only realised that I should really start my revision NOW. A mountain of work.And yes, that's exactly how much work I should do over the next two weeks before my finals.


One week ago, I have decided to pick up my psychology book first, one of hardest topic for me ><", and start working on it. Recalling what my lecturer said that most celebrated cartoon characters for the past few decades suffers from certain psychological disorder, I don't belief it. Not until yesterday that to my horror, I found out that it was all true as their personality and behaviour fits perfectly with the symtoms of those disorders. Argh... they have killed the magic in the innocent world

After doing some research on the net, I found this.
Pooh, a bear of very little brain created by well-known A.A. Milne suffers from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). His inability to think of better ways to get honey other than disguishing himself as a rain cloud showed that he has some learning problems. Judging on his repetitive counting behaviour and how obssese he was with honey which led to his significant obesity, that unfortunate bear also suffers from Obssesive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Some researchers concluded that his cognitive impairment could be attributed to how Christopher had always dragged him downstairs, bumping his head against every step.

BUMP, Bump, bump...

Piglet suffers from Generalized Anxiety Disorder.
Tigger suffers from a certain mood disorder known as Bipolar Disorder.
Eeyoo on the hand suffers from Depression, obviously.
And Rabbit has OCD too...

BUMP, Bump, bump...

The forest no longer is a place of enchanment rather a place of disenchanment where neuro-developmental problems and psycho-social problems goes untreated (Shea & et al, 2000).
The bottom line is that they have killed the magic in the innocent world that I have always imagined.

Butter vs margerine. 1:24 AM


To my dearest housemate, Elysia, I say sorry! ><" sounded like Rudd...

Anyway I'm writing this similar post with Elysia's after being inspired by one of lectures I've attended a few days ago on organic chem.


I bet many have heard of the hot debate "Which is a healthier choice? Butter or Margarine." Well, after reviewing a number of articles from reliable sources, I would say neither is good for us, as both butter and margarine are loaded with saturated fat and trans fatty acid (the not so good stuff for our body).


Fact * Trans fat increase blood cholesterol and lowers the high density-lipoprotein which is the "good" cholesterol in our body - http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/butter-vs-margarine/AN00835.


Butter is made from natural dairy product, fresh cow's milk. For the past few decades, it has been recognised as a main contributor to many diseases such as heart disease. Nonetheless, a small amount of it can extinguish the feeling of hunger and it provides double amount of energy compared to carbohydrate; which I find it to be still an important accomodity as a source of energy for people in poor and developing countries.


Margarine on the other hand is form from vegetable oil through a reaction called halogenation. The natural state of vegetable oil is in the form of liquid and it undergoes this solidification process in order to form a consistency that is suitable for bread spread and other cooking purposes. Even though it contain much less cholesterol compared to butter, there is a flaw to margarine.. it contains colouring! wth. Believe it or not, the natural colour for margarine is white. Manufacturers have added the colour to make it look more appetizing.


Despite the facts mentioned, I have not plan on giving up my tub of margarine or my big slab of butter that is sitting in my fridge yet. I would still stubbornly prefer to have butter in my cakes and margarine on my bread.


At the end of the day, we should enjoy these foods as long as we are taking it in MODERATION amount. I would advice people to look for margarine with the least trans fat/saturated fat and contained plant sterols which have cholesterol lowering properties. Learn to read food labels to compare between other different brands!

"My car tyres are 18 inches."

The first reaction that me and Elysia gave when she came running into the house and knocking on both of our doors was " So? ". She did not speak a single word and lead us to the living room. The living room during that silent evening was peaceful. With no warning or what soever, it just burst into laughters. Both of us were shocked to see that the vegeterian pizza that Mona had order earlier for pickup was the size of her car tyres!
