some would call the change radical. some laud the implementation of a policy that would without a doubt affect the majority - especially those unfavourably segregated by income levels.
gets me wondering if our own country would dare push for such, being in a pro-business environment with measures protecting the white horses and those belonging to the upper echelons of economic wealth.
Medisave? what's there to save when there's no input to begin with.
its indeed true that the hair can truly make or break a person's impression. in behavioural research, this is aptly called anchor and adjustment, whereby the first impression is latched onto a person, thus the term anchoring.
after bits and pieces of new information's being added, slight adjustments are then made. these adjustments are, however, at best minimal and will bear no significant influence on whatever impression that's been formed.
and thus! the hair issue prevails. ive been known to change my hairstyle at least twice a year here's a photo-hint of how it was like just a lil less than a year ago:
it was pretty much very long and i dont think i'll revisit it seeing how the threads on my head has evolved. besides, with that, i'd probably end up with the wrong sort of anchoring that i'd be aiming for.
another case in point would be this fella on the left (Subject A):
sorry dude i've no other examples to pick from cuz no one else has a more drastic change haha. anyway this picture, taken from 17 months ago, shows Subject A with nice neat hair whereas he has a scruffy, rugged look now (with long hair and all). i can only imagine the anchoring then and now and this degree of change, i hope, will help me decide on the next course of change. and of course i would know that the hair makes or breaks the attention you'd get cuz im a sucker for girls with short hair and its quite a determining factor to a certain extent on how much i'd want to get to know the girl.
ultimately, im just hoping to do a balancing act of being both personally satisfied and a people-pleaser. and now to decide...
Feeling overload Carrying bottled skies around I've been drowning all along Wearing out in a faltered sea And i give up
Common sense failed again Meddling in a foreign scene Foreign dream Time won't spare another sun Daring me with another choice another choice
Anymore i don't know who to fight anymore I don't know what is right anymore anymore
Anymore i don't know how to feel anymore I don't know what is real anymore anymore
Anymore i don't know who to trust anymore I don't know what i want anymore anymore
Anymore i don't know who to blame anymore I don't know what to say anymore anymore
Anymore i don't know what i want anymore I just don't know anymore
-----------------
its been three days since the holidays began, and its damn ironic that the feeling only sank in when i realised that the most important people in my life aren't free.
talk about having others around remind you of your own liberation. bleaghhhh...
sometimes i can be very silly. apparently i highly embarrassed myself the other day, so much so that its almost equivalent to two kicks to the balls. this was what happened:
i met my friend the other day who was with his girlfriend. so i went "hello!" and went "hey Jessica how are you!" at his girlfriend.
thank God she didnt hear me. cuz, he corrected me afterwards:
1) that is not his girlfriend whom ive met a few times before actually. that is someone new. i simply forgot how she looked like and confidently assumed.
2) her name wasnt even Jessica to begin with. its Jenni. i think.
D'OHH!!!
---------------------
nonetheless the exam's over and cheers to that. im kickstarting the holidays on a feverish note. literally.
here's my continual sentiments till results day though:
really cannot sleep man. i think this Nostradamus fella and the whole of the Mayan civilisation damn boliao one last time.
nothing better to do. go and predict end of the world in 2012, then make people from centuries later like me go all scared and lose sleep and all.
i mean seriously who the hell sits around predicting all that shit. and to top it off they just HAD to do it with modern-day proven scientific accuracy through God knows how...
sibei no lifers. -____-" arrrggghhhhhhh............
im scaring myself silly at this hour. i shouldnt have watched the television, especially the geographic channel. but the influence have been subtle lately and i couldnt help but watch that channel only to find - a documentary on the end of the world in 2012 as predicted by Nostradamus.
and so this idea of death of which i've staved away from for some time has crept up upon my consciousness once again.
i really wonder how it would be like. who will i be with when the time comes. they say its a lonely journey, but it would be comforting knowing i would be surrounded by the ones i care for, holding me before i depart.
