I'm back!! Just today!!

Wow it has been over a year since I last updated my blog! It even feels weird to type the word blog! And my first word is still Wow. LOL (hey it rhymes!). Well blame it on Twitter. It makes things simpler, easier, and faster.

Anyways, looking back, that was a year ago, much have changed since. I remember I was pretty occupied then with the tedious application process to get into a postgraduate program overseas. I wasn't even sure if I could get into the program but voila, luck was on my side! I'm 3/4 through my first year of studies!

I guess my perspective of life has changed tremendously after the exposure to the field of clinical psychology, not just theoretically but in practice as well. Just having listened to clients describing their life experience to you makes whatever that you worry about just so pathetic. I even notice I don't complain as much anymore about anything (except that I'd like to be longer in Msia for my holidays end of this year hahah).

Personally, just over a couple months in the course I've gained valuable insights on individual differences! Simply put, it just means everyone is different from one another. I knew that, but I didn't completely understand and experience it before. Not until I started my placement that I realise there is really (REALLY) no one right psych treatment for every individual with similar problems unlike giving a flu tablet to anyone with a cold. We ARE the result of our experience of our parents, friends, environment, and not to mention our genetic predispositions. Having said that, I become less pissed at people who angers me, less annoyed at annoying people, etc because I now know there's a reason why this person behaves this particular way.

Since no 2 oranges are the same, what's the point of comparing yourself unfavourably or even favourably with others? Regardless of it making you feel better/worse, does it really change anything in reality? Okay to be fair, we can't dismiss the role that our culture plays in our upbringing. We're being compared to other kids all the time!! LOL!! So of course, it's easier said than done not to make comparisons. But we DO have choice in how we want to look at a problem. It takes time to learn to look at things differently, but hey, I know I'm a happier person now (not that I wasn't before)! Hehheh.

My simple 'formula' that keeps me happy and thankful at the moment:

Your life is not a living hell + You are you, not anyone else + Don't make predictions & assumptions + rant occasionally
= Fair enough :) No complains hehe.

????

Wow almost 6 months hiatus.

Who still updates their blog eh?

It's like no story to tell and some are really un-tell-able here.

So...

Scenery: London.

Eh I just realised everywhere looked pretty much the same in London after browsing the pics. I'll just put these pics here for now. Will upload the other places in FB by this week hopefully. Greener pics in suburban area =)In front of Buckingham Palace.

Green Park.

One of the trees we were resting under. In Piccadilly Circus I think.

Sun setting at West Minster.

London Eye at night.

Eh that's all so little!!wtf.

Nvm nvm more pics to come.

p/s: The resolution of the pics became like that after uploading on blogspot. Lazy to upload in Flickr. =p

Flat bottom.

The lazy bug has taken over me. My routine everyday is something like this:

10-11am: Out of bed. Brunch. Newspaper.

12pm: Yawn. Online. Youtube. Facebook. Hotmail. Gmail. Twitter. Skype. Imdb. Bloghopping. Uni-hunt.

3pm: Go downstairs walk few rounds see what's happening at home go back to room.

4pm: Repeat 12pm routine.

6pm: Dinner. Fetch sis from school. DVDVDVDVDVDVDVDTVTVTVTVTVTVTV.

12am: Repeat 12pm routine.

1-2am: Sleep.


Yea there are occasional uni-visit and grocery shopping but that's about it. My brain is working very slowly. Table's a mess. UK pics still with Cassie. Yawn. Just waiting to go to work. Next week maybe?

What was that about?

MANCHESTER: Some stupid fck threw a tiny stone at the back of my head while my friend was taking my picture.

What the fck was that about??

And he got the guts to turn back and look at me staring at them when they walked pass.

Fcktards.

Or they can foresee that my picture would suck like that so they were trying to give me a warning?

p/s: Why am I so vulgar suddenly. Yea I should be.

Good Timing

It's CNY.

I got some rashes. No, like quite a lot!

I'm not sure whether it's subsiding or not. Doc's cream don't seem to work. Using some Chinese cream now.

Exam's in 3 days.

I can't rest well or rest early because exam's in 3 days.

I can't concentrate on my studies because the rashes are distracting.

UK's in a week. I won't be able to enjoy 100% in UK if my condition's not improving.

I.NEED.TO.GET.BETTER.

Why now?

Fml.

Giving Birth

After almost 8-9 months pregnant with thesis, my baby finally arrived!!..In fashion.

Look at that!! Bangga sial!!

The hardcover cover page!!

Huish it's glowing baybeh!!!

There are 3 copies made. One for the library, one for the supervisor, and one for myself!

Ok the truth is...it's a boring 'book' to read. You'll probably sleep after the introduction. Nah, more like after the 1st page itself.

Okay although I've handed it in doesn't mean I'm safe. I won't be at peace until the results are out. =( And that's like later in March.

Hopefully the department doesn't call me about it!! Bleh..and most likely I'll accept the job offer from SCB.
