- kontradikcion

this is not mine but mine was served somewhat similar to this pic.

i don't wanna care so much about how its made....no matter how unethical it is...all you animal rights ppl don't come look for me!

[EDIT: ok that was posted until i saw this video]

Foie Gras [Fwa Gra] is actually prepared through forced feeding ducks and geese, till their livers are fat and a few times their actual size......and till they die.

That is what gives the buttery texture of foie gras.

i feel so horrible eating that sofreakingdelicious slice of foie gras now after watching the vid

*guilty*

but then those foie gras belonged to birds that are already dead, so that doesn't make a difference to saving a birds' life right? i mean, since the bird is already dead....i might as well embrace it's tasty liver right????

ERGH.

*this is the point where i start to rationalize and mediate between Mr id and Ego)

NOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

force feeding birds for a meal?

too cruel le....

no more yummy foie gras for me....i'll stick to salad or bread...

poor birdies...

heres another video related to force-feeding and also more ethical ways of preparing foie gras IF you're as passionate about this french delicacy as me....

part of an episode of the F-Word

DO NOT TOUCH MY STUFF

I said specifically DO NOT TOUCH MY STUFF.

but you JUST HAD to.

freaking DOING IT ON PURPOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't just say it ONCE.

and then you turn the argument around and call me selfish!?

@*#^*@!^%*#^@!%&#%@!*&~!!!

F***ing Pissed!!!!!!

i absofuckinglutely HATE IT when my plans get ruined by others....INTENTIONALLY!

He was one of my favourites...

Who could not have loved this actor in all his shows?

Especially thisssss one...it was like the "ultimate" show back in highschool
How can anyone of us not loved this show?

and his character...

tell me the scene where julia was reciting that poem didn't make u go AWWWwwwww and tear...

10 things I hate about you
I hate the way you talk to me,
and the way you cut your hair.
I hate the way you drive my car,
I hate it when you stare.
I hate your big dumb combat boots
and the way you read my mind.
I hate you so much it makes me sick,
it even makes me rhyme.
I hate the way you’re always right,
I hate it when you lie.
I hate it when you make me laugh,
even worse when you make me cry.
I hate it when you’re not around,
and the fact that you didn’t call.
But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you,
not even close…
not even a little bit…
not even at all.

What about this one...

The famous taglines from A Knight's tale...i remember the last few scenes...aihhh

I forgot whether he played the surfer shop owner or manager of the kids from lords of Dogtown but he's the one in the shades.

hah, and of course this one...

that made him oh so famous...

I feel like watching this again, it made me cryyyyyyyyyyy...i remember the ending so well...and of course the scenes...haha

another one of his movies that i loved...

Super hot in it.

other films of his that i didn't watch are like Monster's Ball and the Patriot but both are also very famous movies....

so when i heard the news this afternoon (moments after i opened me eyes).......

i was damn sad laaaaaaaaaaaaa.........

:(
:(
:(

Because i could see so much potential is him. SIGH.

Will anticipate his portrayal of the Joker in The Dark Knight.

R.I.P Heath Ledger

[impawards.com killed all links of their pictures of him because ppl like me are eating their bandwidth hahaha]

suicide bombers, leng luis and health issues

boy am i loving the new semester.

i get 3 days of classes and 4 days off. I'm becoming lazy thanks to that.

Nope, haven't settled down since the holidays to seriously get some work done eventhough i had my first presentation of the semester today. The aim of the whole presentation was to make it super short but concise and i think our group managed to do that.

Spent the late afternoon watching The Kingdom with the precious today.

Despite the annoyingly loud festive background music of the restaurant and the french/german/greeek subtitles of the movie, I still managed to really FEEL the movie and the message behind it. It's prolly cos of the "heated" debate regarding suicide bombing we've been having in forensic psych classes that got me interested in watching the movie. Some of the scenes were really heart wrenching ahhhh!

Don't wanna start emo bemo-ing about the movie now.

I'm considering signing up for dance classes again. It was many many years back since my last dance/fitness lesson and i sorta kinda miss it. We'll just see how motivated i am...hee

About 3 in the morning today, i prepared myself lunch because i needed to save money/keep a healthier lifestyle.

and look at the end result, it's so pretty i cannot resist snapping a picture of it.

Cherry tomatoes are super addictive don't u think? the round container in wrapped in the aluminium foil is my salad dressing. and my egg looks retarded because it cracked while i was boiling it hard hahahaha...so some of the egg white sorta leaked out from the crack and thats why i'm only left with 70% of the original egg.

I was damn excited to eat my lunch hahahahaha

Been sometime since i last camwhored. wee check out my non existent eye bags hahahaha

Not very confident lately because i find that my smile is getting more n more retarded thanks to my teeeeth. my bunny teeeth.

*******

Something happened in class today.

Tiffany, FungMin and i got into a war.

Because of....butterfingers.

not just ordinary butterfingers but butterfingers sent from our beloved Queens MingZi & Melissa all the way from Edinburgh. Fuyohh!

The fight was worth it hahahha!

i attempted to smuggle the rest of the cookies home and hid it under my shawl but too bad it was noticed by evil tiffany!

We'll be having the other flavours next week hee heee...that is if fungmin won't "forget" to bring it to class on purpose :P!

ahh don't you just love the queens :) its so sweet of them to send us some gifts to celebrate our new semester and 3rd year psych student status.

*******

By the way i just watched this on Hitz Tv. My brother and i couldn't stop laughing. Like, Seriously!

If you've never heard of this, watch it!!

Caprice -Leng Lui

my comment on the song... wannabe weih. Don't like how parts of the lyrics are so original. super cheesy but i guess it's catchy? though the "rockers" would say its total crap.

"I'm leng lui, so so naughty...

ngo hai lei, come check my body...."

how on earth does "ngo hai lei" fit in the lyrics? unless it means something else besides "I am You"

my comment on the vid... Very super wannabe la. Some of the girls have that bitchy look, which is hawttttt hahahaha, i like ;)

...but the dancing part was hmm...ok the be fair, some of them CANnnn la...but some...cannot hahaha!

overall not too bad for a local production yeah?

are so amusing.

some, are amazingly smart.

some, amazingly funny.

some, amazingly annoying.

some, amazingly kontradikting.

that is why studying about humans/people was the choice i made.

and that is what I've been reminding myself lately. don't regret the choices u made michelle!

hope i could persevere on till the end of this year.

sighsighsigh.

nice yea?

:D

C, D, E, F, G : BUT it looked as if u guys were HAHAHHAH SERIOUSLY!?!?! ........... because A has to announce that B was gonna make an announcement and both of u all looked like u all were really gonna....LOL!

post-exam stress

was supposed to be sleeping by 1 but was on the phone talking and chatting with the beloved :)

I can't seem to sleep thinking and worrying about how badly i did for the last paper of my second year as a psychology student.

I damn don't like biopsych ok!

need some conflict resolution between biopsych and i...if i fail *grabs and squeezes tightly on anything made outta wood* this course...

the conflict between us will really escalate.

because i face cognitive rigidity, bias, selective perception towards BIO and i have an unwitting will to hold on to my old behaviors and perception about BIO.

there will be little chances of our conflict becoming matured.

4 am after all the examinations and i'm still speaking theories and shit from all the different subjects.

I need to voluntarily approach any center or human service providers who are accepting, patient, have loads on empathy towards me, believes in the capacity of change in me, who would also have a sense of humor, has the capacity to deal with ambiguity and risks when working with me...

hmm...i wonder what are the available resources in the Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur area to me?

sigh.

before that, i should run a study on myself about

the effects of examination on behavior of z y e n n

Iv will be exam, no exams

Dv will be behavior, with normal, omgshescrazy

hypotheses will be...

the michelle in no exam conditions would display normal behaviors.
the michelle in exam conditions would display omgshescrazy behaviors.

this would be regression right? because i'm trying to predict if the existence of examination would determine the kinda behavior i would display post exam.

this should be linear regression isit? hmm whatever..don't remember.

but oh wait! my sample would definitely not be normally distributed so i can't run regression on my data...Booo hoo hooo...

nvm, i'll just carry out a qualitative study then.

After determining whether or not there are significant effects then i'll consider going to a Human service centre.

ok enough of crap. time to sleep.

before that, we studied so much bout classical conditioning with Uncle Pavvie and his Dog, but have we look at the study from the Doggie's perspective?

(Markstivers.com, 2003)

Doggie might have been classically conditioning Uncle Pavvie! heh.

i know its 430 am, i'm going to sleep soon! i need to reference my source k.......

christine glass - my love will get you home

finished watching the abalone series better known as Heart of Greed during my study break. heh.

and because they kept replaying this one song in the show, it's now stuck in my head.

very simple lyrics but i think the simplicity of the song makes it so nice :) downloaded it

If you wander off too far, my love will get you home.
If you follow the wrong star, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home,
boy, my love will get you home.

If the bright lights blind your eyes, my love will get you home.
If your troubles break your stride, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home,
boy, my love will get you home.

If you ever feel ashamed, my love will get you home.
When there's only you to blame, my love will get you home.
If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home,
boy, my love will get you home.

If you ever find yourself, lost and all alone,
get back on your feet and think of me, my love will get you home,
boy, my love will get you home,
boy, my love will get you home.

here are two videos of the song. enough to get it stuck in anyone's head hahaha

my blog is so chinese-syyy lately *squints*

my courses in mandarin

Back in primary or secondary school during exam periods, granny would always ask me this question when she sees me studying..

theng yat hao mat yeh? [what papers are you having tmr?]

back in those times there was no problem translating the names of those subjects to cantonese and explain it to her...

the translation part became more n more difficult since i started foundation.

few days back, i was asked a similar question

bai yat hao mat yeh? [what paper are you having on Monday?]

then i stopped for a while....

pondered...

pondered....

and i can't seem to find a proper way to describe to her the courses I'm enrolled in currently.

so i end up saying

Aiyahh!! psychology la.

granny : -__-

since I'm feeling lame now, will study the chinese names of my courses so that i can give her satisfying answers in future hahaha

well, i have the lighter purple text is my translation of the name while the ones in darker purple are direct translations that are VERY ACCURATE thank you :)

Advanced Research Methodology
(direct translation in canto)

Biopsychology
(direct translation in mandarin)

Conflict Resolution
(direct translation in mandarin)

Human Services
(direct translation in mandarin)

Quantitative Methods
(direct translation in mandarin)

just hate being in a state where you try to make things better but nothing is helping u, nothing.

dot dot dot

dre-ee-ee-ee--eeam

mmmmmm i've got it all planned out!

I've even hand written the menu.

There's at least 5 courses. *evil laugh*

the amount of calories in that menu will make me the fattest girl alive.

MWAHAHAHAH!!

but I'm happy!

can't wait!

to put my skills to test. heeeeee

I am so distracted!

Matsuri video AFC

mum sent this over.

can u imagine how good this sounded Live?

he looks much older now...and not as slim haha.

but still as good.

btw.

The Asian Food Channel, 703 is officially my new fav channel!

*droools*

Kitaro @ genting

Last Friday (30th November) was officially the last day of the semester......but i skipped class!

to.........

camwhore in the car

Yes. Love my life. bye bye! the end.

*
*
*
*

haha ok that was kinda bodo.

okok sorry.

I went to genting. You know that place on top of that hill where people say is not cold anymore?

First World Hotel

Yeah this place.

And because of listening too much to rumours, i got conned to wear a dress to genting. Bodo!

Thats cos i was going for Kitaro!!
so thought wanna act more matured and all that bullshit la u know lol.

me have me tix

me and my aunty looking brother haha

so why did i say i was conned?

just look at how freaking misty the place was!!! It was giler cold!

This is the entrance to the Arena of Stars.

Look at this pic, can u guess what is behind those thick ass mist?

it was this! remember? my fav ride in the theme park?

I was freeezing like mad thank god mummy almighty brought windbreakers for each of us if not I just might die there. might.

the wind was strong and it kept "lifting" my dress also. brother called me a marilyn monroe wannabe. -_-

Thank god i wasn't stupid enough to actually strut around in my heels because the place was crowded! (i changed to my trusty with crocodile sandals before getting off the car) not crocs! but crocodile brand!

i'm suddenly reminded of these kids from this milk powder ad. You know the one where one kid teaches another kid how to imitate the sounds of animals? so freaking cute la.

kid 1: what sound does a crocodile make?
kid 2: i dunnoooooooo *innocent face*
kid 3: RArrrr!!

ahh!!! i wanna pinch those kids in that ad.

ANYWAY.

Here is the stage before the event. I was kinda shocked to see the backdrop of the stage so empty.

The place was slowly filled up, everywhere was filled EXCEPT for some rows of the VIP seats. Too expensive maybe?

there was an icecream man...well selling ice cream in the arena and because of my lack of self control =( i bought an ice cream on impulse. Impulsive sial. i grabbed the ice cream before asking for the price and then finding out that i didn't bring my wallet so i had to borrow some moolah from the brother.

look what did he say about me!!!!!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention about my sis. Before the show started, there was a few man walking around the place selling ice-creams, Cornetto. She wanted to have an ice-cream even though she was feeling cold... She doesn't have any money with her and coax me to lend her. Until she hold on to the ice-cream cone, I asked how much? The man said "5 ringgit" OMG! Thanks to her lackadaisical decision, I just wasted my RM5 for an ice-cream with the price of 2 ice-creams... I thought it would be RM3.00 somewhere there but RM5 is too much...bla bla bla... At least she paid me back my money which make me losing nothing except for stupidity for lending her money.

I returned him his money weih! bleh!

yeah i was freezing but ice cream was...irresistible!

Kitaro started the show. *claps*

He is such an awesome artist. You can see and feel his enthusiasm for music, peace and love through the way he plays and the music he produces.

Top notch, no doubt.

and...he prolly plays every instrument available on earth.

He plays these thingies on the floor that i couldn't get a proper picture of.

He plays the flute.

He plays the keyboard.

He blows this other thingy i have no idea what is

He plays the keyboard again.

He plays the guitar...

He plays the harmonica.

He plays those big ass drums at the back

and he makes awesome

"HUUMMMPHH!"

"FOOOOHHHHH!"

sound effects for his songs. Remember in Matsuri? Thats actually his own voice.

chunted la.

After the encore session, he came back holding the mic near him and everyone thought he was gonna sing hahahha........but he didn't.

anyway he gave a short speech on how thankful he was to be here. Couldn't really make out what he was saying exactly but i could catch a few words like.

"we would like to coming to Kuala Lumpur in future"

"Our nature for our next generation....keep situation good for them..."

"music to the heaven...the heart...the soul...for peace..."

something like that.

very down to earth man judging from the way he speaks.

I feel so cultured being at the show. It's nice to watch him play because he plays with a smile on his face..his gestures are pretty cute haha.

After the event, since the place was packed and so many people were crowding the exit...we came down to the VIP section to get a closer peek at the instruments on stage.

then the guitarist came on stage and started throwing out his picks! bah! i couldn't get one for baybee :(

a closer look at this pic seems to suggest that....LOL!!!!

its the angle and all that la ok? the man was throwing guitar picks to the crowd.

Besides Kitaro the man himself, his guitarist was really awesome throughout the night.

so was his violinist.

and those 2 on the keyboard.

and that man on the drums.

Now im hooked on listening to Kitaro.

Matsuri was DEFINITELY the best song during the night.

ahh...miss the night.

and i'm gonna end this post ever so awkwardly. as usual. kontradikcion style ma.

peace out.

omg i haven't started studying!

kontradikcion
