Take Me Back

Twenty-three and invincible
Got the world figured out
And the bird on my shoulder told me,
"Everything's gon' be alright (woah-oh)
and that means everything gon' be alright"

kthxbye

PS. I'd like to meet this bird, tell it I'm a bit slow, then maybe feed it some bird seeds from my pocket with the hole at the bottom.

Addicted to playing the game.

Flying off the Grounds of Uncertainty

I had a meaningful entry drafted about failing plans/planning but I think I'll save that for later.

--------------------------

New blog banner. One I actually didn't make (except for just adding the text), and its from the trailer of Peter Jackson's adaptation of the best-selling novel by Alice Sebold, The Lovely Bones.

I haven't read the book but damn, it looks amazing.

Anyway, was at uni yesterday to do some study and make some inquiries about my enrollment. :) I got much study done. Met up with Lenny, who was with Derrick, who were both writing their letters to the Dean. Their case is dragging on for too long, so good luck to them. James and Thien came soon after and we just chilled in the labs till they left for the Start of the Semester party.

One thing that we played was a brain game on Facebook, appropriately titled "The Brain Game". It addresses the way we process visual information in order to create a visual model of the world.

This is the image that had me frustrated to the tip because I couldn't get it to spin the other way as the other guys could.

Right vs Left Brain - Which way is the girl spinning?

What this actually is, is a two-dimensional image just moving back and forth, but our brains interpret it as a three-dimensional model, hence why some people can see it going anti-clockwise, others - clockwise (Yes, I did my research).

Left Brain people see it going anti-clockwise, Right Brain thinkers see clockwise.

Thien, James and Lenny could see it going both directions, except they had no control over it. MINE JUST KEPT SPINNING CLOCKWISE.... so unless they were just bs-ing me ... then I'm a heavy right brain user.

I looked up the differences and here they were:

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
“big picture” oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can “get it” (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

There it is, the last two definitely acknowledge the differences. Although, this image isn't a justifiable test to actually identify your personality (obviously). It really just describes how we approach the image and subconsciously break it down. Its a fun game though.

After all that, had Pizza Hut buffet (again!) at George St then headed home.

EDIT: I worked it out. If you were stuck in clockwise-world like I was, just look at the reflection at the bottom. Her foot sticking out makes it look like shes going anti-clockwise.

Draw My Thing

Depressing to hear, but I can't grasp the fact uni has started. Not ready. I need to get myself in the mood. I don't know how .. but maybe after the coming weeks, I'll be init(2winit). Subjects I'm undertaking this semester:

• Applications Programming
• Network Design
• International Marketing Analysis & Strategy

Applications - I'm happy I'm with friends in that, same with International Marketing, although not in the same class as anyone in the latter. Network Design... I don't even know WHAT to expect. So I'll see how I go.

Watched Ice Age 3 with the Jobo. It was either that, or Hannah Montanna Movie. Tempting, although we stuck with Ice Age 3. There were quite a few scenes that made me chuckle, in particular the laughing gas/helium scene. Loved it. Not quite as good as the first one, but definitely better than the 2nd movie. I took home the 3D glasses and tried to find video clips where I could use it. They're so useless because apparently you need a Real-D screen, or whatever. I wannna put them to use!!

Anyway, lately I've been watching Gossip Girl (to which I have now finally finished) and playing this awesome game called Draw My Thing. Its basically like pictionary. You meet some pretty cool/funny people and the games are a lot of fun. :) Its just interesting to see how peopel interpret some words, or drawings rather.

This was the drawing someone drew... can you guess what it is?

This is meant to be Harry Potter.

Also saw that last Wednesday. Dumbledores gay remarks = full of funny. Overall the movie was great, but not as great as everyone says in comparison to the other movies.

kthxtry(again next time)
