Because it's becoming so easy to update, let me tell you one of my questions today:
Which direction will surface runoff flow in figure 4?
A) I don't know. There are too many lines.
B) SW to NE
C) NW to SE
D) NE to SW
E) SE to NW
SERIOUSLY WHAT KIND OF MIND GAME IS THIS! hahaha I think my profs this sem are all mad.
On that note though I was really tempted to put A cos there were really a lot of lines!
Ohkay bye. Posted via LiveJournal.app. |

The essence of trust is a peculiar combination of autonomy and dependency. To trust someone is to act with the person in mind, in the hope and expectation that he/she will do likewise- responding in ways favourable to you- so long as you do nothing to curb his/her auntonomy to act likewise. Although you depend on a favourable response, the response comes entirely from the initiative and volition of the other party. Any attempt to impose a response, to lay down conditions or obligations that the other is bound to follow, would represent a betrayal of trust and a negation in the relationship.
Trust, therefore, always involves an element of risk- the risk that the other on whose actions I depend, but which I cannot control, may act contrary to my expectations. -From Trust to Domination (An alternative history of human-animal relations)

one of my exam questions on sat:
Falling out of love is wisest in which of the following situations?
A) when you are obsessed with someone who repeatedly betrays your trust.
B) when you are in love with someone who drains you emotionally or financially.
C) when you are in love with someone who does not return your feelings.
D) all of the above. HMMMMMM. This has nothing to do with my module by the way. And I wish all my questions were this easy. Then again I'd friends who put like choice A only cos B/C is probable in real life. And then i've had others who say that if everyone is wise then no one will fall in love. To me the question would then be, why must you FALL to be in love? With that I leave you, I've much to study and more logical papers to take! Posted via LiveJournal.app. |

| MENTAL KLUTZ |
[Nov. 20th, 2009|02:26 pm] |
Barry has invented that word for me. Why? Because I'm a hazard to myself (this is apparently from a Pink song). About 10 mins ago I found out that.... My paper tmr starts at 1pm instead of 9am.
Anyhow, I got a slight feeling of dejavu. If you rewind to last sem, I found out the day before one of my papers that I mixed up my papers! So you see this is really an improvement already. Plus I have more time to study. So the conclusion is I want shoot myself. I'm a walking hazard to myself and am a mental klutz. Hahaha and Camille, rmb I said OCD isn't overarching in my life? I can rmb where everything in my room is, am fastidious about cleanliness BUT for the life of me, cannot seem to get my exam timetable right. And the thing is I checked my timetable twice!! After what happened last sem when I only checked once right. Hmm somewhere between the computer screen, my eyes and my brain sth went wrong. Posted via LiveJournal.app. |

Seriously what.is.this.
I've 3 slides worth of this nonsense so I just.... Skipped them. It's like jibberish to me. Physical geog, in uni that is, is unenjoyable cos of all this random un-understandable things. On another note, checking my mail and seeing all the awesome responses of the counsellors and bible study teachers for camp and their attached happy smiley faces makes me happy. (: Yes I'm unabashedly proclaiming it, as with my custom in all things that I own: I love my iPhone and the wireless that it can connect to. Not that other phones can't it's just the one I have can. (: am I making sense??? Ohkay back to the books. (ps yuanli if you read this, I'm online cos of the picture you asked me to see and hahaa yes it's a true reflection of reality!)

hellooooo in my love for google and sharing all things google, i recently discovered igoogle. what is that you ask? simple just google it. google has an answer to EVERYTHING. i kid you not. it is a tried, proven and tested theory. that is everything for your daily living and daily needs. i wont tell you what ive googled but basically eveything. except one, that is answers to biblical questions. i dont need google for that. when im really muddled or need serious help, i just take a lil trip down to 301 upper paya lebar road. :D heh im so creative with the way i phrased my stuff. am feeling slightly pleased with myself cos i finally sat down and watched my last 2 e-lectures today. (yes they are 5 weeks overdue but hey i watched it in the end!)
anyway i'd a bout of fever on tue night(must be this weather) and my throat has been a fail ever since (lee says that fail and ftw are gamer talk but deebie taught me that and deebie is no gamer so im safe). anyway im spelling deebie on purpose because i call her dee-bie.
anyhow today as in right now, or rather 5 mins ago, i walked to my fridge, opened it and took out a packet of ice cold milo (if you didn't know, i LOVE MILO, yes i do). to my dismay, it had no straw! but no fear since im at home and not going out soon i cut off a triangle at the top and poured it into a mug (yes im innovative like that). ohkay fine, the mug is the grandma-ish random porcelain mug i was talking about ytd. yes my own cup and the image of the dishwashing stuff inside still haunts me. so as i was happily drinking it and walking to my room, my throat gave a slight protest. and my brain registered: bad throat+milo=very bad idea.
but my stomach was giving out oodles of happy sounds and i'd already opened the packet. i know right, the entire process of cutting it and pouring it and i didn't register for one sec that i'd a bad throat. so, as i learnt in one of my modules about utilitarian values (ie overall happiness>overall unhappiness=ftw) im still drinking it. of course i wont drink the next packet till my throat recovers.
and im not going to the chocolate research factory place cos of this silly throat (after my exams ohkay jolly lori!).
sigh my brain is a fail really.

sometimes i think people think im a freak (not that i mind). what brought this to mind was how i am currently drinking from a random porcelain cup in my house that makes me look like a grandma because the other day i saw my helper leave the dishwashing sponge in my cup and it irks me but i didn't wanna hurt her feelings and tell her. i mean i know she uses the dishwashing sponge to wash my cup but the sight of it left in my cup is just... idk i have goosebumps and i cant drink from that cup anymore (hence im resorting to the random porcelain cup).
then again im not really much of a water drinker. it just happens that i just recovered from a bout of fever and am having the onset of a bad throat! im also having an outbreak but that's beside the point here.
so anyway i think the things i see tend to stay in my mind a lot. like horror shows(!!!!!) my sis can testify to that one and the people whom ive forced to stay on the phone with me till i fall asleep (but it's your fault in the first place for tricking me into a horror show).
a few entries ago, rmb i said i cant eat meat anymore after that show. i tried the other day. if you know me, you know i do occasionally eat kfc/popeyes and the likes. so i walked into kfc looked at the menu and my stomach turned. BAD IDEA. i can still rmb the video. -insert distressed face- i was talking to deebie and she said these stuff dont affect her! so maybe i am weird. hahahaha but seriously i dont think i can eat meat anymore: that is pork (of which i originally dont eat anyway since i dont like the taste. yes i dont eat char siew or bbq pork and the likes even before the video) or beef (i used to be able to eat 1/3 or around there of a steak before my stomach is like stop too much meat...) or chicken or poultry for that matter. of course this is all personal preference and if you are a carnivore i wont judge you... it's just explaination if you see me picking at my food or staring at the menu or picking at my food or just... not eating. hahahaha
and the last but definitely not the least is OCD. it's not clinically determined and i refuse because i dont want to take unnecessary medication and i was talking to one of my profs and he said that it gets better as you get older. mine flunctuates with my situations in life but we'll leave that for another day. as ive said before mine is not the serious kind like i dont wash my hands till the skin comes off but given a choice between not sleeping/eating for 3 days and not bathing i'll take the former. i like being clean like really clean hence the eczema but at work if ive ice cream/choc on my hands im ohkay. i think it's manifested the worst when i know i cant wash it off anytime i want. does that make sense?
and my stuff is not super duper neat it's just i know where i placed everything so if someone took/moved them i would know. and i count my things. hahaha this is the one that people find the most freaky i think.
(my psych friend said that if he had to do a study on ppl with disorders he'll choose me. but then he's weird cos he think ive ADHD and im super sure that's only for kids.)
anyway this is not always good contrary to popular opinion. sometimes i keep re-arranging my stuff or counting them that i waste a lot of time. this is esp so when im packing like for a holiday or camp. and if i forget to bring sth i get SUPER distressed and the intensity of checking everything else increases and i'll feel very jittery the whole day. i cant really explain it.
then again you can say it's not OCD. it's just i like to be clean, order/arrange my stuff in a certain way, count my stuff, am careful that the door is closed/locked, repeating my actions to make super sure that it's done. but for me, it's just easier to explain that i have mild OCD. not because that's what many people tell me but because it's easier to explain it like this. am i making sense?
on another note, something made my day today! (:
:D you're really sweet.
and i like this!
you've already got me coming undone
and im thinking two, is better than one.
