Wha... 2012???

What the... 1.5 years since i last blogged? incredulous...

So many things have happened since then! Exchange (visited tons of great cities, places, incredible experience!)

Clubbing - Tried it for the first time (and several times more). Still find it silly, but I enjoy being with friends and watching their nutty antics! Memories are forged there that will never be forgotten!

Cap improved - FTW

Loreal internship - NUTS... Don't regret joining (yet may not choose to go there if i had a chance to choose again). Great learning experience, one can truly learn the ropes of marketing there. But don't feel in my zone, feel overworked, lost my personal life, extremely under-appreciated, and met a few really nasty people.

But I'm still so amazing! 4.30am and i'm up cos i just re-read my whole blog LOL.

Psychology & Pokemon

In line with the two most pressing issues in my life now (Psych midterms and Pokemon White), let me introduce an interesting perspective. If it's even more of a coincidence, I'm currently mugging the chapter "Memory". Psychology really reads your mind.

How Mnemonic Instruction Works

Mnemonics is a memory enhancing instructional strategy that involves teaching students to link new information that is taught to information they already know. According to Levin (1993), mnemonic instruction is useful for students across a wide age range. Though students in the early elementary grades are usually not expected to learn and recall as many facts as older students, they are involved in a number of activities that involve making associations that employ mnemonic principles.

For example, associations linking the letter “a” to the word “apple” or “f” to “flower” employ mnemonic principles. Teachers instruct students in the use of mnemonic strategies by using both visual and verbal cues.

And combining the two together, we have

BRUNO MARS

I can't wait for Bruno Mars' album next month!!

He joins the ranks of A1 and Adam Lambert as the only artistes who can persuade me to spend money to listen to their music. Sorry Mraz i'll buy your next album.

A1, Adam Lambert, Bruno Mars ... complete the pattern
It means the next 3 albums i'll buy will be Britney Spears, Cheryl Cole and Clay Aiken

Am I the only one who thinks that Bruno Mars sounds like a chocolate bar?!!? Kinder Bruno + Mars Bar???

Hi!!

Life's great! Despite schoolwork getting heavy, i don't seem to feel any sense of unhappy pressure. In life there are two kinds of pressure. Happy pressure and unhappy pressure. Basically, unhappy pressure is pressure that makes u really upset and stressed. Happy pressure is the opposite, it doesn't make you upset and stressed. In fact it might actually make you happy or glad, hence the name. So i have happy pressure that i am currently bathing in. In fact, i have found an imba secret place in school to mug which i shall not share with anyone just in case u all follow me here. The presence of more people is a negative externality that though not easy to place a monetary value on, will severely affect my overall benefit/enjoyment from mugging in that place. That said, tomorrow i will build a nest in that place and do alot alot alot of work so that I can do even more work on Sunday. I am really looking forward to studying tomorrow. seriously. and thus, happy pressure.

Having talked about tomorrow, i will talk about tonight. Right now, i am chilling by the swimming pool and its freaking 12.19am. how awesome is that. I really need a glass of milk and some oreo biscuits now to complete the scene. But this is the epitome of serenity. The water is still, the breeze is cooling, the residents are sleeping, and glen's blogging. I always thought a dark swimming pool would be haunted with hungry ghosts, sharks and piranhas. Alas, i have yet to be proven correct. then again, i've not had a night swim for years. So apart from the mosquito who just had a feast, i'm having a really good night. Bowling was the bombz. IFG next saturday and i am the bombz.

Do u know that i am an expert meteorologist? And that i am also a very good clairvoyant? Because i know it is about to rain right here in geylang east ave 2. if u live in geylang east ave 2, u would be able to help prove my prediction correct.

In other news, I am enjoying life. May the ghost of Sigmund Freud aid me tomorrow.
