Life in Technicolor

Adapted from the classic Mischel (1989) study on delaying gratification.
Cute until beh tahan, please! T.T Check out their dilemma faces and all the "physical contact" they engage in with the marshmallow :3 If I were in the experiment when I was a kid, I'd probably be repelled at the sight of marshmallows - delay gratification champion. Can't say the same if you put the marshmallow in a rocky road though <3 <3

Check out the kid in the last frame! Too cute.

If you watch through the whole thing, go here for the explanation. :) I remember doing something similar to this in Dr. Anasu's class. I liked this one though, cos it was short and pretty easy to go through. 

I love youtube.

I do, however, dislike how the uni mail system has integrated itself with Google. Why? Because now my uni mail and Gmail acts as two conflicting Google mails, where I can't be logged into both at once! It is absolutely bullocks how I can be signed-in in one website, but not the other, because it's under different accounts (e.g. Logged-in to uni website = inability to sign-in to Youtube because my current Youtube username is under the other gmail account). Does anyone get thisssss (or am I babbling to myself)! WHY GOOGLE, WHY. I love you for so many reasons. This - not one of them. Does anyone have any solutions for me (that do not include signing out of one to use the other - cos that's what I've been doing, which is really getting annoying)? I just realised how whinny i've become (justification/rationalisation: it's only todayy!). I blame it on today's weather. 

Today, we ended up in Forum because Interval was closed (union on lockdown after summer socials). Okay that wasn't so bad, but it was raining. And my umbrella went to Milton Keynes. Okay it didn't go there. My flat mate borrowed it, and she went there = me no payung. SO FINE. We walked to Forum; the waitress was reallyyy sweet cos there was about 10+ people, none of which could decide on what he or she wanted to eat OR drink (for a good 15-20 minutes at least). So we started with coffee and water and such (and of course, there will be the alcos starting in the day). Horrible choice for such a gloomy day *personal opinion. Also, I think we were all being really student-y and broke as per usual.  T.T Useful part of today: Totally coveting Erin's boots (carousels around it please!!!!), Emily's dress AND raincoat & Selma's mad big umbrella that could fit three people.

Fun fact of the day: Algeria's in North Africa, near Morocco. *proud when I could continue convo by saying Zim is in South Africa. Let me be proud for a while please. Geography is my worst subject *no passion; and I thank God every time I think of how I never had to sit for another Geography paper after PMR. *phew. No seriously, you can't imagine how bad my geography is *toys with the idea of geography of Malaysia and I feel dumb already.

Today's weather? It rained only all day long. Wouldn't be a problem if I were home and had a car *hint hint*. Sunday bus services are really =,=. Also, kawan yang I keluar ngan ni semua x suka tunggu atau bayar untuk bas. Terpaksalah I ikut jalan balik rumahku! -,- Oh and I cannot believe SY is going home tomorrow *imagining hijacking her ticket and going home too :D*

Oh and those Nike shoes I saw in Office yesterdayyyyyy. None of which i'll ever think of wearing, but coveting, that's a different story. Ah, how it feels to be broke. T.T Please donate to the "save Michelle's eating habits fund" please. :x Lemme go find those nike shoes to show you *acting as if I have readers or like i'm having a conversation *lifeless.

Okay I just realised how I might have lost my uh sense of dressing. *stares at shoes that I will never be able to look good in. *silent wailing in the corner. :( *dreams of Bicester. Hi boyf do you want to go to Bicester with me? *beams

Ah... How it is to be broke. LOL.

Oh btw, exams are over! I will be home soooooon! In seven weeks. -.- I hope to update more. :) Rain, rain please go away! I can't be walking in all this slushyyy. wuwuwu. 

Kelakarnyaaa

Every siren is a symphony

Sounds like today's weather! xx

Not a fan of the music (seriously), but imagine how hard it would have been to have to edit this!

Seriously....

Made me think over and over again (countless times) before criticising it.

Not happening la (criticism over song, that is).

Next post may be a cooking post. hmmm. T.T

Don't seem to have enough time before the Easter breakkkk! :s

And also cos they called me at 2am in the morning to say "I miss you, let's go shopping".

Lol.

OH YA. Video embedding has been disabled (stupid max pls), so click the "watch on YouTube" after you click play. Love!

“In the winter, that seat is close enough to the radiator to remain warm and yet not so close as to cause perspiration. In the summer it is directly in the path of a cross breeze created by opening windows there, and there. It faces the television at an angle that is neither direct, thus discouraging conversation, but not so far wide as to create a parallax distortion. I could go on, but... I think I've made my point.”

Love for BBT is immense. :D

KS is my best BBT friend. haha.

BAZINGA.

Gotta be my favourite (if not only) part of Glee. I was so entertained throughout the whole episode. It's been over a month and that's about the only thing I look back at and laugh. =_=

` seriously, 2010 already? Thank you for sevendays!

twas quite hilarious, what with all the "i kill you" I was yelling?

It's gonna be a good year. I can feel it in my bones.

Happy New Year people.

Hope you started yours right, and have a good one!

How apt - who am I, at the Family Nite :)

` lets paint the town, shut it down

Yes, lets. Lets.

A Classic. Remember telling your parents you had to go for a seminar, when in fact, you brought a

single red rose and said "you have a tummy".

Words cannot describe what i'm feeling right now.

Hustle bustle, and so much muscle.
Estuary is blessed, but scary.
Sweet precision and soft collisions.

because

One day, live. Both of them! I'll let you know. Till then.

` dosed by you, closer than most to you

Why my cheeks so bulat =_= *zzzzz

My favourite pair of jeans' back

When the truth and assignment(s) kicks in.

"Of course I remember you"

heh. Lucky we all sat in the safest spot! LOL.

OH AND BLOODY 10/10. x_x

Ten seconds la. Ten seconds. :)

Everyday Til Its Beautiful Baby

` hey Jude!

I love food. Went to delicious with mom for lunch yesterday. The both of us shared a starter, main course then dessert. Boy oh boy were we stuffed to our limits! I love their scones. Probably the best tasting things in their shop besides illy! Woohoo.
*high on caffeine laugh*

After lunch, we went to MPH and mom bought me this cake decorating/recipe book which is literally to die for. Alright. Maybe not to die for but it was, in my terms, awesome-blossom-magnosome. :) I bought a journal to fill up with more recipes. Lol.

Besides all that hoo-ha, had choir practice last night then went to Rasta (which an innocent friend of mine believed to be a "club"). I got into the car and friend was going all "Hey we going clubbinggg!" *excited jumps* Okay. I'm stopping here before I get unknowingly assassinated against my will to live. haha. And apparently, the guys ate rabbit, deer and prolly beef satay. Gee. Anyway, did I mention that I had the worse ever afternoon-mare ever? Nightmare but in the afternoon, thus ending up with the term afternoon-mare. Shiz.

"propel" *coughchokedie* "us" *laughchokedie* "forward"

Which part of his patient methods of putting the building blocks to transform Malaysia?
Fifty percent to all of you who are interested in what he has in mind about "us" moving forward. My condolences to all you (please fill in a word of your choice here) who bought the book at full price. =_=v

Anyway, to all the people who asked if I had a video of the performances, here it is.
The videos were taken using my sisters Sony Ericsson P1i so please forgive the quality. haha.

The Thailand Rainbow boys! *excited cheers*

haha.

On a really random note, you know you're a big time loser when:
- You beat the red light and the driver (on the right side of the law) deliberately gets into your way for beating the red light. *innocent smile*
- You try your utmost best to rev your sad little car engine to avoid the stare.
- She catches up with you at the bend cos you can't take a bend.
- You try to beat another red light to avoid the stare (and prolly the middle finger)
- You end up right next to the car and realise the driver's a girl (and you're a guy)!
(It's okay to feel embarrassed. You should. Awh.)
- You try to cut her and stay as far from her car.

BUT, she effortlessly pulls away from you. *tsk tsk*

YOU BIG ASS FAT LOSER. :)
I've had good training for situations like these. *grins*

Sorry guys. This is just me whining about these stupid mindless idiots who beat the freaking red light. Yes. If you do, just make sure i'm not on the right side of the law. Cos it pisses all the hell out of me. Literally. Yeah.

Besides that, you know you're a Chinese when you hold one side of your nose and blow the other to clear your nose boogies at the side of the road. *shrugs* I just saw that today and I was pretty irritated. Pretty gross. It just reminded me of an email a friend once sent to me. 88 tell tale signs that you're a Chinese. Haha. It was pretty funny. It's no offense to any Chinese in particular k. I'm a Chinese too (like duh!)! Whee. And I can tell that (only) some of them were pretty true, if I used my life as the benchmark. 88 of the were definitely true if I used some typical Ah ma or Ah Pek as the benchmark. Oh well. Emails. :)

Oh anyway, mom made deliciously fattening vanilla cupcakes and a Madeira cake today. *gleams* I'm well fed. I'm not fat. I'm just well taken care of and I eat for two. That's all. Whee.

here's something for a good laugh. :)
Ken Lee!

I don't like thinking about what could've been.
Whether I made my decisions based on my heart or my head.
I don't like dwelling in all the what ifs.
Life without regrets. (:
