Me: Josh, I have a confession to make.
Josh: Mmm?
Me: Remember when we rode the ghost train in Australia years ago?
Josh: Yeah?
Me: I kept my eyes closed the whole time.
Josh: ......
Josh: SO DID I !!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I don't know if you've noticed but in my recent posts, I've been using Trebuchet font style instead of the Arial font style I'd been using all along. Arial was getting really boring. And the word 'trebuchet' looks and sounds cool, doesn't it? Sounds like a French word! Maybe it is. But it doesn't sound good when I say it cos I try say it like how a French would say it but it sounds horribly nasal. Maybe it sounds good only when a French person says it.

On the 29th last month, Joyousness made some really cute cupcakes for my brother's 12th birthday. They were divine! Anyway I saw a half eaten cupcake, and peered closely to examine it- I could make out what looked like a dog's face. More specifically a poodle's face:

Can you see it? It has two eyes, a nose, and a mouth! I found this hilarious.
There's this term I had learned during Critical Thinking Skills last semester-Misperception of random data. Our brain has a need to see meaning and order in EVERYTHING, even in things that don't make sense. As a result, our brain tends to 'see' meaningful patterns even when there's none. I guess I can put this term to use in the above picture!

But I think that even the highest minds wouldn't be able to put meaning to this picture haha!

You know how some people count sheep to try fall asleep? Well,I tried. Didn't work.
Sheep counting is apparently supposed to lull you to sleep with the boring repetitiveness of counting sheep jumping over a fence.
It had the opposite effect on me. My sheep didn't seem to want to jump over the fence at equal time intervals. Some jumped over too quickly. Some refused to jump. A few just floated in mid air for some reason (I think there was helium filled between their curls of wool). Others thought they were taking part in some sheep hurdles competition hence tried overtaking other sheep in their bid to win.
Because of that, I ended up being even more awake.

At least Efafuma the sheep was well-behaved

Hahaha. Caught in the act, Wilbur!

Yesterday, I went to visit about 70 Burmese children, as part of a social visit arranged by the lecturers for those who took psychology as an elective last semester.
Anyway I was talking to someone, and over the course of our highly intelligently stimulating conversation about the chicken dance, he happened to look down at my feet. My left foot was covered by an orange sock, and the right by a purple one (I didn't know we had to take our shoes off before entering the place, or else I would've worn slippers instead).

Then he asked me if I wear pants and t-shirts with different coloured sides and a whole lot of other nonsense like that but I said I like to keep that asymmetrical look to a minimum. Then we talked about how half a smile and half an upside down smile would look like this :S which I don't think is possible to do even if you practiced in the mirror every day for 11 and a half years.

I'm sure you all have heard about the very recent attacks on a few of the churches here in Malaysia. Well on the way to church today my mother told me that one of the churches that got pretty badly damaged has received half a million ringgit in compensation. PTL! (Praise the Lord)

Later on, during our Sunday service, Pastor Roy also mentioned this, but where my mum said half a million ringgit, Pastor said 500,000 instead. When he said that, I turned to my mother who was sitting next to me and said,

Me: I thought you said half a million??
Mother: Yes, and 500,000 is...?
Me: It's... Oh.

Then I gave my mother a big grin :D

It took me a while to figure out that 500,000 is the same as half a million. For a second I thought it was less because of the 'thousand' in 500,000 and the 'million' in half a million.
Haha
