found this while doing my research on organizations.

Symptoms of Psychosis
NOTE: Psychosis is an abnormal condition of the mind,and is a generic psychiatric term for a mental state often described as involving a "loss of contact with reality". People suffering from psychosis are said to be psychotic. They often have hallucinations and delusional beliefs (i know people like that).

after reading through all the symptoms, i realize i kinda sorta fit the bill! O.o

no, really. see, i fulfill almost all the points stated above.

1) Thinking people are against you or talking about you.

This may sound like super paranoid, but i'm always being suspicious that people around me are talking about me! For example, if i'm sitting somewhere minding my own business and suddenly a group of girls beside me start whispering and giggling, i'd be like 'omg. are they laughing at me cuz my top/shoes are ugly/dont match or my hair is messy??' or like, if a random group of people are like talking beside me and suddenly i catch someone saying 'blahblahblah SO FAT' i'd turn my head over immediately to see if they're talking about me! HAHAHAHA. what. so i'm sensitive like that sowhatshutupthxbye.

2) Receiving personal messages from the TV or radio.

ok luckily i'm not so crazy that i think i was summoned through a code on the radio to go fight a war against aliens or something like that, no. but i would go like 'OMG this song he's playing is like so totally meant for meeee!!'. HAHAHA but i think alot of people do that lahh. (ADMIT IT!) so not so bad.

3) Senses seem sharper.

gee. i've always sort of prided myself on having a stellar sense of hearing. like, really. you can ask pris!! she's always saying how good i am at ~~eavesdropping on people's conversations~~ hearing things that are soft/far away. i have a good sense of sight too!! can ask cho. she's always darn amazed that i noticed she cut her hair/put new eyeliner blahandsuch. ok maybe that's not EXACTLY dependent on good sense of sight. maybe im just ~~kaypoh~~ more observant.

4) Hearing voices.

omg this is creeeepppyyyy. but sometimes it happens to me. i'd turn to the person beside me and go 'what?' and then the person will be like 'what what?' and i'll say impatiently 'what did you say just now? you just said something right?'. and the person will look at me weirdly and go 'ermmm... no....'. and i will appear a little doubtful and go 'okayyyy. ... ... ... really no? cuzithoughtiheardyoucallmynameomgwtf??!!!'

5) Seeing visions or things that others cannot see.

this happens to me quite often.
me: isnt that XXX over there??
friend: where?
me: THEREEEE.
friend: where?
me: haiya in front of that building, wearing red!!
friend: where?
me: JUST IN FRONT OF YOU, idiot!!!
friend: ........ where?
*usually it happens quite often when im with certain people.

6) Thinking that you have special powers.

I DO!!! really. Have you heard me talk like this:

HAHAHAHAHAHA. lovely. i love annoying orange.

7) Sad or irritable.

omg i feel this ALL THE TIME. especially irritable. i get soooo damn easily irritated you'd be surprised. for example, i get irritated when:
1)the bus/train is filled with yelling kids/idiots who play their music out loud from their gadgets/ah peks that stare at you/ugly and fat couples PDA-ing/smelly people/people that go 'excuse me excuse me!' when you're alighting at the same stop as them also.

2)people who cannot speak clearly talk to me. or people who cannot spell properly text me. (NOTE: i'm not talking about less educated people who really arent good in english, i mean people who go 'wru'(and expect me to know it means 'where are you', like wth so i reply 'iah'(i'm at home)???) and people who go 'eeeuuuu are shooo cutezx!' and 'he ishhhh liek dart'. go back to your alien-retard planet pls.) ok admittedly i get irritated when people make grammatical mistakes (all the time) too. 'i didnt knew!'/ 'i have ate'/'you drunked my water?'.

3)people take such a long time at the cashier/atm machine/food stall and make me wait. like, some people ah, really damn buay tahan. once saw this idiot uncle at ice cream shop, he went to ask the girl at the counter 'what flavour nice ah?'. like wl you never look at menu before queueing up meh?!
girl: hmmm. would you like chocolate or XXX (forget what la huh)?
uncle: err, got fruity flavour anot huh?
girl: mango or durian?
uncle: errr, hmmm. hahaha, tsk tsk.
me: -.- -.-
uncle: i want something like... not so sweet one leh. got anot ah?
(queue extends behind me)
girl: erm... raspberry?
uncle: berry ah?! errr. hahaha tsk tsk.
like. wth???!! i was on the verge of saying something like 'you're at an ice-cream shop. ice-cream IS SWEET.' like what idiot goes to ice-cream shop and wants something not sweet???!! retard ttm.

4)people go ON AND ON about things i'm JUST NOT INTERESTED IN. i mean like SERIOUSLY, SOME PEOPLE JUST DONT GET THE HINT. ok i know we all have to occasionally pretend to be interested in something, like, that person talking is your friend/boss/dream date and you have to be nice. usually i'm okay with nodding and smiling and going 'haha! really?' BUT WHAT PISSES ME OFF IS PEOPLE who go like 'eh i tell you a secret.'
me: okay, what?? (at this pt i'm really quite interested. like which girl doesnt like a secret right?)
XYZ: hahaha, dont tell anyone!!
me: okok.
XYZ: *giggles* you swear!!
me: okok i swear (lose half the interest liao)
XYZ: wahhh.. *giggles* really cannot tell!
me: (-.-) yes i wont tell. (interest totally gone)
XYZ: aiya i really cant say.. but you wanna know right? i wanna tell you but it's like, not my secret!
me: ohhh, then nvm lo. anyway i was watching this movie the other day damn funny--
XYZ: oh man i'm dying to tell you!! you look like you're dying to know also lah ahahaha u damn kaypoh! so gian!
me: ha.ha. it's ok if you cant tell la. really. so yea, the movie was about--
XYZ: AA and BB are together!
me: huh. who they?
XYZ: the sister of my friend's friend's friend lah! and the guy her school one. think from english lit...? eh dont tell ah!
me: i dont even know them who can i tell.
XYZ: apparently he bought her roses and got on his knees!! omg dont say ah!
me: wow. anyway planning to catch Shrek? looks funny--
XYZ: the girl not even pretty. hor hor??
me: I.DONT.KNOW.THEM.
XYZ: the guy like toot toot one also hor?
... ...
like wahlao!! eh i tell you this REALLY irritates the hell out of me. cuz im just not the most patient person around. you wanna tell then tell, dont come trying to keep me in suspense cuz it doesnt work for me. suspense works for some people i guess, but for me i'll just lose my interest. cuz frankly, maybe I'M JUST NOT INTERESTED IN WHATEVER YOU FIND INTERESTING. OH AND PLEASE dont start accusing me of being kaypoh and 'gian' about knowing your secret, especially when i'm not. cuz i might turn nasty.

i still have a looong list but i shall stop here (shall keep this for the next entry). moving on.

8) Isolated.

... sometimes i feel like that. =(

9) Confused or puzzled.

hahahaha i'm ALWAYS confused and puzzled. ~~cuz most of the time when people are talking i just drift away and start stoning so later i cant catch up with what they are talking about~~ just that i like to act smart/keep my 面子 so i will always pretend to understand what you're saying. so if i smile and nod at you and you suspect i really dont understand what you're saying, PLEASE dont expose me thankyouverymuch. =)

10) Like you cannot trust people.

I dont really trust people. sometimes not even people closest to me. i just think the more you trust someone, the more hurt you'll end up to be when the person hurts you. and you never know what will happen right?? sometimes people hurt you unintentionally too. and i hate that the most cuz you know the person caused you so much pain and yet you cant hate him/her cuz he/she didnt do it purposely. it gets so frustrating cuz you cannot get angry, only can get so upset and pained. and obviously being angry is so much easier than being heartbroken.
...the only person you can ever trust is yourself.

11) Like you are being watched.

omt i always feel like i'm being watched!! especially when i'm walking home late at night, i'll always feel uneasy and that someone is watching/following me. i'll always stare at the floor as i walk, so that i'll know first hand whether there is someone behind me by seeing his shadow. and if suddenly(!!!) a shadow appears, i will start trying to second guess whether he'll appear on my right or on my left. and then i will start thinking of what i'd use to hit him if he attacks me etc etc. you get the point. and and, when i'm alone in the toilet, bathing myself or bathing my turtles whatever, i will always look behind me time and time again cuz i ALWAYS feel somebody is behind. creepy? oh and this is also probably why i ~~am so scared of~~ hate mirrors.

12) Difficulty sleeping.

ok this is the only point out of all that i dont fulfill. never had problems sleeping, never will. sometimes i wish i could sleep forever and dont wake up. moving on.

13) Talking or smiling to yourself.

omgggg i'm always doing this too!!! i always recite things to myself and make up little stories and scenarios in my head and talk to ficticious characters when i'm alone and bored. hahahaha! and i always smile to myself, ESPECIALLY when i'm on bbm with my girls. ok everyone thinks i'm a psycho now.

14) Neglecting your appearance.

GUILTY.

15) Avoiding contact with people.

HAHAHAHA confession time. sometimes (actually quite often) i purposely miss calls/dont reply texts for a long time/appear off when i'm on msn. i just really value my alone time alot. sometimes i just like to stone and do nothing. even when i have absolutely nothing to do, i also wouldnt want people to call to chitchat with me, pile work on me, rush me for things and to talk to me about their problems etc. just wanna lie around and think about things. and be isolated and alone. i'd talk to you IF i want TO.

of course i'm not THIS anti-social all the time lahh. sometimes it's also cuz i'm out with friends/family, and i also value quality time with them alot. to me, quality time means i devote ALL my attention to them while we are out, and not be constantly disturbed by work and other friends' calls etc.

but when i'm out of my pensive mood i'm all up for hanging out. so dont stop asking me out! =D

16) Behaving aggressively.

i poke/punch/pinch my bf for no good reason all the time. =D

******************** ******************** ********************

okayyyy. end of list. seems like it's so easy to satisfy the criteria of being labelled a psycho.

are you a psycho too?

The Seven Dumbest Deaths in Recorded History (credits to http://www.crystalkiss.com/dumbest-deaths-in-history/)

1) Attila the Hun

One of the most notorious villains in history, Attila’s army had conquered all of Asia by 450 AD-from Mongolia to the edge of the Russian Empire-by destroying villages and pillaging the countryside.

How he died: He got a nosebleed on his wedding night.
In 453 AD, Attila married a young girl named Ildico. Despite his reputation for ferocity on the battlefield, he tended to eat and drink lightly during large banquets. On his wedding night, however, he really cut loose, gorging himself on food and drink. Sometime during the night he suffered a nosebleed, but was too drunk to notice. He drowned in his own blood and was found dead the next morning.

drowning in your own nose blood wtf??? and you'd think his wife Ildico would kinda notice and help him out there a little.

2) Tycho Brahe

An important Danish astronomer of the 16th century. His ground breaking research allowed Sir Isaac Newton to come up with the theory of gravity.

How he died: Didn’t get to the bathroom in time.
In the 16th century, it was considered an insult to leave a banquet table before the meal was over. Brahe, known to drink excessively, had a bladder condition-but failed to relieve himself before the banquet started. He made matters worse by drinking too much at dinner, and was too polite to ask to be excused. His bladder finally burst, killing him slowly and painfully over the next 11 days.

oh boy. how come someone as smart as this guy(impt astronomer, helped come up with theory of gravity) would die of something as dumb as a burst bladder. somemore take 11 days to die?!?! i used to think these old-time scientists were like how genius. now not as much.

3) Jerome Irving Rodale

Founding father of the organic food movement, creator of “Organic Farming and Gardening” magazine, and founder of Rodale Press, a major publishing corporation.

How he died: On the “Dick Cavett Show”, while discussing the benefits of organic foods. Rodale, who bragged “I’m going to live to be 100 unless I’m run down by a sugar-crazed taxi driver,” was only 72 when he appeared on the “Dick Cavett Show” in January 1971. Part way through the interview, he dropped dead in his chair. Cause of death: heart attack. The show was never aired.

LOLOLOL!! this one's my favourite! this should be EXACTLY what happens to all those braggers out there, who always think they are better than you, and what they believe in is better than what you believe in, and that they are more educated/knowledgeable/wiser than you. generally, people who sit in their high horses. go and die, we dont care that you dont drink KOI and only eat organic food and dont eat meat whatever.

4) Aeschylus

A Greek playwright back in 500 BC. Many historians consider him the father of Greek tragedies.

How he died: An eagle dropped a tortoise on his head. According to legend, eagles picked up tortoises and attempt to crack them open by dropping them on rocks. An eagle mistook Aeschylus’ head for a rock (he was bald) and dropped it on him instead.

this guy's so ancient. anyway, i always wondered how these sculpture artists knew how these ancient guys look like. i mean, the story says he was bald but in this sculpture he had hair leh. anyway i think this story cock one lah. where got so nonsense. if it's true, dunno how many millions of people die of being struck on the head by a turtle liao, considering how much more populated the world is now compared to last time.

The Most Bizarre Song Lyrics (credits to http://roadtickle.com/the-most-bizarre-song-lyrics/)

1) "Shine" by the Newsboys

The Newsboys were formed in 1985 in Australia and they have since become one of the best-selling Christian rock groups of all time.

“And try as you may
there is no way
to explain the kinda change
that would make an eskimo renounce fur
that would make a vegetarian barbeque hamster
unless you can trace this about-face to a certain sign”

what the hell is 'trace this about-face to a certain sign'??? .... what the hell is 'about-face'?

2) "Shake it Baby" by LL Cool J

LL Cool J began making music at the young age of 16 and has since become a very well known rapper. He has released 12 albums since 1985 and he has even broken into acting making himself a big presence in both music and film. He is one of the best MCs in the world.

"Yellow canary, tennis bracelet necklace, knahmsayin?
Three quarter black mink; shades, canaries in both ears
Knahmsayin? Black Phantom, triple black, with the oak wood
Gucci shoes, that’s how I play"

wl this kind, you see his pattern (huge muscles think he damn shuai) plus his name (LL COOL J?? like YY PRETTY C =DD self praise ttm) you know he CMI LIAO. the funniest part is how he keeps repeating 'knahmsayin' (which i take to mean 'know what im sayin') when we so obviously DONT, cuz you're not making any freakin sense, Cool J. in their own world leh this kinda ppl.

3) "I am the Walrus" by the Beatles

The Beatles was one of the most popular and successful rock groups in history. There are few rock bands who have left such a strong legacy behind and who continue to inspire new musicians.

"Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob"

seriously what do you expect from a song titled 'I Am the Walrus'?? i like the 2nd line though. you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long. (HAHAHAHAHAHA reminds me of some ppl ok shut up)

4) "I Like Your Hair" by Scotty Vanity

Scotty Vanity is a very talented musician having taught himself piano and keyboards at the age of 5. He was 15 when he released his first single “I Like You Hair.”

"Hey there, I like your hair
Who does your hair?
I wanna go there
Pshyeah, I like your hair
Who does your hair?
I wanna go there"

huh i think this one ok lehhh. it's just asking someone with nice hair who did his hair only what. at least i know what this guy's talking about.

5) "Wynona's Big Brown Beaver" by Primus

Primus is a rock band that formed in the mid 1980s. They have a very diverse sound which allows them to really attract fans from a wide variety of genres.

"Wynona’s got herself a big brown beaver
and she shows it off to all her friends.
One day, you know, that beaver tried to leave her,
So she caged him up with cyclone fence.
Along came Lou with the old baboon
And said “Recognize that smell?”
“Smells like seven layers,
That beaver eats Taco Bell"

hahaha machiam lady gaga of the 80s. actually i understood everything until the last 2 lines. what's 'seven layers'? and so random the beaver eats Taco Bell..? =/

Saturday, May 15, 2010, 12:12 PM

I AM BLOGGING IN THE OFFICE. can you believe it?? (not about the fact that i'm blogging in the office, about the fact that i AM IN THE OFFICE ON A SATURDAY, FML.)

but i am handling the events dept in the company. and events people are always busy every single second of their lives. i wanted to do events at first cuz it's so cool; you needa be quick-witted, able to handle the unexpected, be resourceful etc etc. and then you get to meet all sorts of people, run around (no desk-bound job for me thanks) and also earn alot of money. O.o O.o

BUTTTT. i realize now that it's no easy task! you need to be meticulous and patient, and these are characteristics i seriously lack. for example, there were a few chairs out of place at the event venue just now. i totally didnt see them until my supervisor pointed them out to me. after it registered, i then realized it IS really quite unsightly. =S yea yea, i know i can console myself by saying 'but i'm only learning, i just started!'. but i think such things are really innate. you dont have it in you means you DONT. it's just like how i'll never get my mom; how on EARTH did she know i used her makeup on the sly, when i made sure i put everything right where i found it?! or how on EARTH did she find out i dropped 2 buttons on my top(and proceeded to mend it awwww) when i didnt even realize?! ... you get my drift.

and then you need to give up alot of timeeee. omg. i am a born slacker. i like to do nothing at all. when people tell me 'wah i feel damn sian and boreddd, got nothing to do at all!' i would be like 'wah lucky you.'. then they usually go on saying 'where got lucky! i feel so unproductive. at least you are on internship, you are learning something...' and i'll be like 'i'd much rather do nothing at all.' and they wont understand!! they'll say 'no lah, serious. wait till you REALLY have nothing to do, then you will WISH you have something to do.' well. guess what. you're not me. how'd you know what i'll wish for? and i HAVE experienced doing nothing for a long period of time. i loved it.

i am the kind of person who's been seeking the easiest way out in things i do, for all my life. in sec school and jc, i am famous in my CCA for being the chao slacker. can siam i will siam one. in studying, my most used phrase is 'this chapt no need study lah right... wont come out in exam one right..' i'm so used to drifting along in life, taking whatever comes at me, not planning for anything at all, that i am starting to doubt if this job's suitable for me at all. =(

sigh.

oh but well. we'll take it as it comes la huh. hahahahaha.

joy of the day, i met a cute guy! i think i'd better not divulge so much, scarly people stalk my blog(who knows right, things are getting so public these days). had been spamming queenie(who works on saturdays too, sad life like me) on bbm about the guy, HAHAHAHA!

and also since saturday is slack one, i had time to surf around(and blog) and find some real interesting logic puzzles! there was one i found quite interesting, which i shared with jacq and she posted it on her blog, can go check it out if you want. i'm gonna share another one here on my blog, try it if you want!

THE PUZZLE:

In a faraway island there were 10 inhabitants. One day, a ferocious monster invaded the island and declared he wants to eat all the inhabitants! The people begged and cried for him not to eat them, and the monster decided to give them a chance.

He said: I shall give you a chance to redeem yourselves! I will play a game with you. The rules of the game will be told to you now, and you will have one day to discuss your best strategy. By dawn tomorrow, you shall all assemble before me and the game will commence.

Rules of the game: The 10 people on the island would line up in a single file the next day. They will stand in a straight line, all facing the same direction. They will face the back of the person in front of them, ie: the 10th person can see the 9 people in front of him, the 9th person can see the 8 in front of him and so on, until the 1st person who doesnt have anyone in front of him and obviously cant see anyone.

The monster will then randomly place a hat on their heads. The hats can ONLY be in white or black. The order is random, he can put anyhow he wants, can even put all black or all white. After he is done, he will start asking, STARTING FROM THE 10TH PERSON, 'what is the colour of the hat on your head?' all the way until he finishes asking the 1st person. If the person answers correctly, he will be freed, if not, he will be eaten. NOTE: The person can ONLY answer one word: black/white. He cannot specially intonate the word, like saying 'blaaaaaack' or 'wwwwwhite' or what nonsense, if not the monster will eat everyone! NO CHEATING ALLOWED.

Devise a strategy whereby these islanders can maximize their survival rate.

If you are stuck, you can scroll down for some hints. If you damn gungho dont want hint then good luck! (cuz this puzzle not easy sia)

HINTSSS:
1) You have one night to strategize! Cannot intonate the word, but can encode the word with a special meaning. Example if you say black, can mean 'the person 2 spaces in front of me is wearing black' and if you say white can mean 'my mother washed my butt' or what nonsense. you get my drift.

2) Keep in mind you have TEN people on the island. The 10th person can see ALL NINE HEADS in front of him, the 9th person can see ALL 8 HEADS in front of him. Also keep in mind certain properties of numbers: perfect square? even/odd number? prime number?

3) The question is to maximize the survival rate. Not ALL will be guaranteed survival. But the answer actually guarantees the survival of 9 people, at least. so if u only get like half survive, you WRONG LIAO.

HAHAHAHA. good luck peeeeps!! if you all think you got the ans and wanna see if you are correct, can text/tweet meeee!!

Tuesday, May 11, 2010, 10:20 AM

long time no blogggg! with twitter blogging seems a tad bit unnecessary now. haha. i actually have an unfinished blog entry i did up awhile ago stored in my drafts, updates about my various outings with pictures, but because i'm sooooo lagging, i got confused about the chronological order of things, and lost some pictures too. thus i decided to give up. just gonna rant about some things today.

exams are over!! but i only had 5 days of rest before internship started. it's day 2 today, and i'm already so darn stressed. boss has like quite a high requirement of me, and i keep feeling afraid that i dont measure up. =S i hope my brain juices are as good as what they perceive(they're always going 'wahhhh' when i tell them i'm in NTU business), cuz i hate being looked down upon. but who doesnt right.

well, but other than work, i've also been meeting up quite alot with my girls. i cant stress how much i love them, ALLLLL of them, for they always make me feel loved and crack me up. i'm not gonna like name them one by one, for i think they all know who they are la huh. =)

i've also had some uh, i guess you could say rough patches, relationship wise. it's a long story, and i dont think anyone truly knows the whole story. maybe my close friends know a little here and there, but nobody has the whole inside info. i dont really like explaining myself to people, so i decided to just keep it from everyone till things had a conclusion. i've had my conclusion, thus i'm blogging about it. i think i am just so lucky to be with who i am with now. i know a relationship needs more than just love to keep it going, and sometimes people fall and struggle, but ultimately how much you decide to try, and how much effort you decide to put in, will depend on how much you love your other half. i know i can be really immature and demanding at times, so i'm really thankful to my bf for putting up with me and loving me so much =)) sometimes i really wonder why, cuz i always think that there is so little to love about me. =S hahaha.

yawnnn. so tired. work tomorrow again!!! work is super sian omg. sigh. blog soon again. nights world.
