Check out your college's professors

I found another awesome stuff - http://www.pickaprof.com/
Guys, check this out! =)
Unfortunately, we have to pay in order to access it. But I just simply like the idea of this website.

You're cute but I like their experties

Can I get this - EOS Rebel T1i EF-S 18-55mm IS Kit because I really can't stand the pictures I took recently? It was so awfully terrible!! People who have high expectation on photography like me has a need to obtain a SLR. Lol!

Racism is disgusting!


I really like the way she talked about RACISM last night at the training. It was a mistake that I didn't get her name and talk to her after the talk. In fact, I should. She brought up the issue of racism in the United States in a very comfortable manner. Therefore, it made everyone willing to share their racism experience comfortably.

Before the talk began, she told everyone to shift their seat according to the color of shirt they wore. Those who wore black stayed at the right and those with white stayed at the left and etc. I was kinda annoyed when she shifted us to a different place because I was sitting on my seat comfortably and kinda reluctant to move my ass. Anyways, she explained the reason why she did that. She asked, why would people tend to put people into different boxes or categories? This topic has always been controversially complicated.

10月忙不忙?


最近生活的却有点繁忙。
可是,也不能完全责怪忙碌的生活而难以抽空去干一些自己想干的事。
只能怪自己功力不足,胜不了梦魔的诱惑。
问题在于越是繁忙,梦魔的诱惑就越强。
尽管我用尽了我这么多年来修炼的功力来对抗,被鲨鱼吃掉了都不知道,
还以为自己还在游泳,其实已经被吞了在鲨鱼肚子里游泳。
我就好像那只小老鼠一样,
不知道被梦魔吞噬了,自己在发梦睡觉也以为自己在上课上班。
这也只能怪,梦境太真实了。
有时候,
梦,
不能太真实,要不然很容易得到睡眠障碍。

10月,我的大学生涯过的很充实。
不但要兼顾功课还要去做一大堆有的没的,
就好像跟朋友聊天吃饭,练日本剑道,打羽毛球,跳街头舞 (比赛我们的冠军!),搞活动开会服装秀搞设计。。。。。 扣除了这些有的没的,还哪有时间去做一些我自己想要做的事呢?

人生的确让人很矛盾。
有时候当我完全没有事情干的时候,
我又不知道自己想做什么。
反而,没事干之时我会去找周公下棋。
(真的是不能怪梦魔啊。。。!)

我很想再一次很认真地去研究我的茶道,
很仔细地去阅读我买的书,
很轻松自在地看朋友们的部落格,
很愉快地一个人去摄影,
很投入地欣赏一部电影 (最近发现新出的电影很“烂", 不知是我心不在焉还是他们不行),
或是冥想自己的未来将会如何... ...
这一切都是我很想做的事情。

The Challenges

Reason is dead! Long live reason!
Humility is dead! Long Live humility!
Passion is dead! Long live passion!
Nature is dead! Long live nature!
Evil is dead! Long live evil!
TRUTH HAS BEEN LIVING IN THE FALSEHOOD FOR AGES!
Routine is the death of the spirit.
May the old way of life PERISH!

PSY 3133

Sob~ I scored the 2nd test badly on one of my psychology class - Principle Behavior and Conditioning. Actually I would say the second test is a little more easier than the first one. But I guess I wasn't putting enough effort to make a good one. I know I'm not good in this class and therefore I'm sort of losing my confidence studying in this class. May be this is called learned helplessness....

...... or may be I don't know. Try not to put as much effort as possible in order to avoid receiving disappointed results. See, right now I won't get too upset because I know I didn't really study a lot for the test.

Moving up to the workforce ladder - HARD!

Hey hey, why is it so hard to look for an internship or a job that related to my major - psychology. Why am I in Oklahoma? They have any reasons to have nothing at all compared to other states in US. I found that there are so many job opportunities about Upward Bound program in Seattle, Nebraska, LA and more. Well, I only found some youth services here but it doesn't capture my attention at all by just looking at the website.

In the beginning, I thought Kat was talking about Outward Bound and therefore I was looking at the internship on their website. Outward Bound seems to be a very interesting place to work. But until now, I'm not sure what I'm really want to do because I sort of have some mentoring and teaching experience in my college years but I don't think I can be a very good mentor who has the sense of caring to really take care of the children.

Listening to Mayday Parade. Their songs are good especially - If you can't live without me.

Psychology always sound interesting to people. But I don't feel like being a counselor, therapist or a social worker who just helping people in their hard life. I may like to analyze people's behaviors, attitudes as well as their way of thinking. Honestly speaking, not trying to brat at all but I think I have the ability to read people's behaviors by just interacting with them. I can easily tell the category of people that they belong to. Well, that would somehow become my weaknesses as well. Because I'll know what kind of people they are and I may judge my friends in a mean way. BUT I don't usually do that if I don't have to. Wink*

Gosh~ I was staring at the internet for more than an hour looking for internship which related to Outward upward program in Oklahoma. My friend told me that we have to see if our campus is carrying this program so that we can actually stick our nose into it and try to find out if we can volunteer or something. Fortunately, I found that UCO is carrying this program and I was so happy with it. But when I take a closer look at the bottom of the website and guess what I saw? The website was not been updated since Nov 2008. What the.... Owhhh, come on! And then, I shifted my attention to OU, OCCC and OSU. They do have Upward Bound Program in their campus but I don't think they are hiring. They might wanna take volunteers who are working for free but I'm a UCO student. Chances of getting into their network are pretty rare.

The only reason why am I indulging myself into music recently that much is probably because I don't know what am I gonna do once I'm graduate. Well, I don't seem motivated to get involve in psychology stuffs. But when people talking about business and corporate stuffs. I may seem a little bit excited about it. Psychology sounds professional but I feel that I'll have more satisfaction when I actually working a corporate company and dealing with a challenging business world. I guess I have taken a wrong major and I won't say wasting my time but I may have to spend more time to pursue for another major that actually suit me. Studying MBA would be another option for me. But money seem to be another problem. I don't think I wanna spend my dad's money anymore.

Well, let's get a job once I graduate. But of course I wanna stay in US for a couple of years in order to earn some USD before I head back to Malaysia. But what can I work here? Okay, I'll try to get into COPE - a counseling center in OKC. At the same time, I'll try my best to apply internship in Outward Bound and see if I can get it. This internship might help me to look good on my CV. Dang it... I've still not yet fix my CV, ............ not motivated to...

Owl city is something we should listen to .... Adam's songs are relaxing and it can create a jovial mood into your soul.
