Simplifying Pinky and the Brain /// 12:32 AM

This question has been floating in and out of my mind for the past half an hour -

If you have to lose one of your senses, which one will it be?

Also, one of the many applicable things which i've learnt in bio psy is that
reviewing notes right before going to sleep is an excellent idea.

One of the benefits of sleep is that it helps to improve memory, even greater than before one sleeps or takes a nap! Isn't that amazing? Another advantage of sleep is that it aids in reanalysis of people's memories.

How does the magic happen?
Well, as we're snoring away, the brain replays our learning experience repeatedly and *poof* our memory is strengthened :)

Such an intricate process, yet it has been made possible by our Creator! :D

And as we all know since young (due to parents' constant nagging), sleep deprivation is something to avoid. One of the many reasons is because people who are sleep deprived in the night face an impairment of verbal learning but do also note that there's variation among individuals.

Oops. Gotta start engaging in healthy sleeping habits. Good night!

- Thank You, Lord, for REM. -

Just Married /// 11:32 PM

Attended Daniel and Angel's wedding today!
It was a really sweet one and Angel's speech to her mum made me tear quite badly as i could totally empathize with every word she said. For my wedding, guess i'll request for minimal makeup cuz im definitely gonna have those choked up feelings during the ceremony too. Well, they are one of the those couples who are made for each other. Angel, a primary school teacher, who really resembles an angel both characterwise with delicate facial features + Daniel, a super warm and genuine secondary school counsellor = Couple from Heaven
May God bless these newly weds! =D

Caught Alice in Wonderland (wasnt very enjoyable) and did some shopping today as well:)

Anyway, was spending some time in Bukit Merah Library yesterday and i've come to a conclusion that there are some things i really enjoy doing in the lib:
-looking through cookbooks (usually immersing myself in a fantasy world of cottagelike-kitchens, cute aprons and brownies)
-scanning across titles of fiction + travel books,
-flipping through bridal magazines, plus
-reading through the first few pages of "Nice Girl Syndrome", as i did yesterday. (btw, am not complimenting myself by saying im nice or what but the title of the book just caught my eye) hee

Also, i've always liked the smell of the library- combination of mustiness of old books and the alluring scent of freshly printed paper. A bit eccentric maybe.

- Thank You, Lord, when 2 became 1. -

Manis tingyou manis /// 12:26 AM

I'm touched.

You're laughing your lungs out over Youtube's Family Outing with my sister
You've brought delicious fish maw soup and 4 bowls of sweet cheng tng cooked by your kindest mum, for my family
You're tired and fatigue is written all over your face but,
You came straight over.

Though things didnt turn out well last night and we cried over the phone, im glad that you're here in my house, spending time with my dearest sister and making sure everything's all right between us.


Well, it's half past one and you've just left.
May the Lord keep you safe on your way home.

- Thank You, Lord, placing him in my life. -

It's the end or just the beginning? /// 12:08 AM

Tues' bio psy lecture made me realise that if we have obeyed the '8 hours' rule everyday since young, we'd have slept for close to 7 years (for those turning 21)! How amazing is that! But given that we are not so obedient as we would like to think we are and only end up in dreamland for approximately 6-7 hours a day, it would total up to 7 years then? Gotta do the math.

But in the event that we have been spending close to 7 years asleep, arent all of us Sleeping Beauties by now? where's prince charming???



Wanling, I am honoured! :)
