You wanna know how musically challenged I am right now, look up my last.fm list. It's been 5 frikin days I haven't listened to anything, and the last thing that I listened was ilectures. How lame!! I even got other nerdies' lecture podcast for recomendations. ok tipu.

Come heree my last two paypahhhhhss.... I can't wait to show my love by vomitting my guts all over yahhh....

...

Today is the most unproductive day in the whole wide world. But amazingly I finished answering the whole set of past year papers from 2004-2007 for my next paper on Monday. WOW!

Well, actually the questions are the same for every year since 2004.

Because of that, I have lost my momentum. PPfffft....

Knowing exactly whats coming out for the exam is too good to be true.

By right, I should be memorising it with all my heart right now. But Im not.

But I feel bad for not.

Because sometimes karma might be right.

Good grades are only for those who study hard.

Not for the ones who only study past year papers

I am a kiasu wearing contacts.

I am a geek with extra ehem.. nothing.....

I am still in the lab, and its freakin windy.

I feel sleepy and I am buncit.

I have 2 Mother F's with me. But I am not drinking it.

I am eating only the white side of this dinasour gummy.

Study topic : kehidupan di tanah gersang

(Life in Arid Zones)

Kenapa harus belajar tentang kehidupan di tanah gersang? Apakah kepentingan belajar tentang kehidupan di tanah gersang sedangkan tak ada tanah gersang pun di tanah air sendiri. Entahlah. Saya pun kurang tahu. Subjek ni hanya menghanguskan kulit saya dan menjadikannnya seperti padang jarak padang tekukur seperti tanah yang gersang juga. Bergunakah inti pati subjek ini kepada saya di masa hadapan kelak? Saya juga tidak begitu pasti. Siapalah saya untuk menganggarkan masa hadapan, kerana saya bukan ahli silap mata, dan bukan juga ahli sains aktuari.

Yang saya belajar tentang subjek ini ialah burung-burung, kanggaroo-kanggaroo dan echidna yang sangat comel. baby echidna yang comel


Tiba-tiba teringat quote Dr Mahathir dari lecturer saya yang pernah pergi biodiversity conference di Malaysia.

"When the last tiger dies, the sun will still shine tomorrow."

Erk? Saya rasa, sebagai manusia di dunia, kita tidak seharusnya selfish atau terlalu human centred... haiwan-haiwan juga harus di jaga bukan hanya untuk memerap dan mengekalkan kecomelan mereka untuk anak cucu, tetapi sebagai insuran di masa akan datang. Poyo tapi betul.

mimpi ep2

Ok.. harini mimpi lagi. tapi kali ni kena HEMPAP and it felt shitly like this... seriously.

Something was sitting on my chest and choking me, and it felt REAL, sounded REAL, and looked REAL. I would certainly confirm that I saw a real ghost if i did not know earlier what it actually was.
So, its called Sleeping Paralysis or the old hag or hempap or whatever else.

What happens is when you are asleep, in deep REM sleep, your brain releases a chemical which paralysises your body (other wise when we dream we would be waving our arms and legs about). In some people, they wake up and this chemical is still in their blood stream. It also is often accompanied by hallucinations or remenants of a dream.
One of the most terrifying aspects is this, is the "hag", which is a common hallucination for sufferers. When this chemical is present, our breathing feels restricted. This causes a common hallucination that there is someone sitting on our chest, whilst we are unable to move.


In my entire life.. i think It happened to me around 10x...

The fun thing about it, is to read what other cultures call it.. this is just from wiki..

• In Greece and Cyprus, it is believed that sleep paralysis occurs when a ghost-like creature or Demon named Mora, Vrahnas or Varypnas (Greek: Μόρα, Βραχνάς, Βαρυπνάς) tries to steal the victim's speech or sits on the victim's chest causing asphyxiation.

• In Zimbabwean Shona culture the word Madzikirira is used to refer something really pressing one down. This mostly refers to the spiritual world in which some spirit--especially an evil one--tries to use its victim for some evil purpose. The people believe that witches can only be people of close relations to be effective, and hence a witches often try to use one's spirit to bewitch one's relatives.

• In Ethiopian culture the word Dukak is used. Dukak is believed to be some form of evil spirit that possesses people during their sleep. This experience is also believed to be related to use of Khat. Most Khat users experience sleep paralysis when quitting after a long time of use.

• In Ireland it is also known as "the hag." The expression originates from reports of an old woman that was believed to be seen near the sufferer during paralysis.

• Several studies have shown that African-Americans may be predisposed to isolated sleep paralysis also known as "the witch is riding you," or "the haint is riding you."^[18] In addition, other studies have shown that African-Americans who have frequent episodes of isolated sleep paralysis, i.e., reporting having one or more sleep paralysis episodes per month coined as "sleep paralysis disorder," were predisposed to having panic attacks.^[19] This finding has been replicated by other independent researchers^[20][21]

• In Pakistani culture, it is an encounter with evil jinns and demons. It is also assumed that it is due to the black magic performed by enemies and jealous persons. Curses could also result in ghoul haunting a person. Some homes and locations are also haunted by these satanic beings.

• In Korean Culture, sleep paralysis is known as 가위눌림 ("ga-ui nool-lim"), which means "pressed by a nightmare."

twitter was kinda cool until..

Gerak hati/naluri dari sudut pandangan evolusi

Ok, saja nak share something yang akan masuk periksa tak lama lagi. Kali ni, peperiksaan tidak bosan. Sebab adanya topik2 seperti Instinct.

Naluri atau Gerak hati, adalah tabiat atau perlakuan yang telah pun terbenam dalam otak manusia dan haiwan-haiwan lain tanpa disedari. Naluri tidak dipelajari dari apa-apa segi, baik dari contoh, diberitahu, pengalaman dan lain-lain. Naluri, diturunkan dari generasi ke generasi. Perkataan. Perkataan. Perkataan.


OK bosan, tanak jadi baku sangat, hodoh bunyinye.. Instinct ni die menarik sebab, lahir2 je jadi baby yg belendir, kita dah tau ape nak buat. Sebab instinct kita yg pertama ialah untuk menanges.

Instinct ni, biasanya instinctive.. hahahaha.. tak membantu.
Anyway, seiring instinct ada jugak Fixed Action Pattern (FAP)..
So, maksudnye, behaviour itu akan disusuli sebaik sahaja nampak the SIGN!

contoh untuk manusia

SIGN: nampak orang lain menguap
ACTION: menguap jugak....

contoh untuk lembu (ni takde sign tapi contoh instinct je)

Lembu : branak2 terus jalan.... takde pun tatih2 cakk.. tatih2 cak...

contoh untuk burung

SIGN : dekat muka burung herring ade satu bintik merah ni tau (why bother? bother jee)....
ACTION : Anak burung herring ni nampak je bintik merah tu, dia akan patuk2 bintik merah kat muka mak die secara automatic! wawawewa hebat shal.

Antara contoh lain instinct, macam... kalau dalam masa2 genting, akan ada heroic act yg hebat oleh manusia2 yang tidak terjangkau otak kita. So, tu sebab instinct jugak.

Manusia ada instinct, untuk mimic apa yg orang lain buat di skala yang sangat kecil tanpa disedari. Sebab tu, kalau kite tengok movie yang hebat, kite akan rasa sedih, rasa gembira dan lain2 sebab.. kita sebenarnya sedang mimic apa orang tu buat.
And sebab tu jugaklah, ada setengah orang nanges bila nmpak orang lain nanges(ade contoh banyak, contoh nye housemet saye)

Lagi satu contoh instinct mimicing yg slalu berlaku ialah, bila hawa excited mata tebeliak, tanpa sesetengah manusia sedari... mata korang jugak terbeliak.
Itu adalah cara untuk menyelami perasaan orang lain, secara tak sedar dan disitu jugalah munculnya yang kite panggil Empathy ye kawan kawan.....

Benda2 instinct ni terletak die bahagian otak kita yg primordial yang jugak masih digunakan oleh binatang2 dulu2 baikpun skarang. Instinct ni slalunyelah, bertujuan demi survival, atau pun dengan kata lain utk our selfish genes... Instinct atau perlakuan tanpa fikir yang disalah magnifikasikan boleh mengundang benda2 jahat seperti bunuh, rape, cemburu buta dan sebagainya. Instinct2 ini, adalah hasil evolusi, untuk either survival yang nyata atau adalah byproduct kepada evolusi benda lain yang bagus untuk kita, sebagai contoh.. evolution of bende yang menbantu reproduction, di mana.... benefit nya jauh lebih banyak dari keburukan..

Macam contoh.. testosterone yang banyak dalam laki.. bagus untuk buat anak banyak.... Tapi.. testosterone yang telalu banyak jugak ade kesan2 sampingan seperti, miang, gatal, ganas, ego dan sebagainya......

Tapi bleh ke kita salah kan naluri? takblehh.. sebab.. kita ade otak yang ada akai.
Sekian terima kasih.
