Our subconscious minds subconsciously revealed.

Hello there, dear reader.
I'm sure the header has ignited your interest in reading this blogpost.


"The best moments in life are hanging out with close friends and just enjoying the warm atmosphere subconsciously created by being close to each other."

Well, I'll get to that as soon as I'm done with my opening lame humor :D

Trolling friend snapped a pic of me sleeping when sleeping over at my place last night. Kinda dig this pic cuz it's nice to see how one sleeps xD.

Next up, take a look at these two lovebird otters. AWWW. <3 br="">


FAWK YEAH, THIS MAH SIGNIFICANT OTTER HOE! GET LOST BOZO, THIS OTTER IS MAH HOE!!! >:D

Anddddd also this other snapshot I took from my Naturama episode of Futurama! Somehow when I saw the above otter pic on my facebook homepage, my mind instantly diverted to this particular scene in Naturama. This is mt favourite scene in the whole episode, awww so snuggly these two lovebirds omnomnomnom!! XD (My wife is sooooo gonna get snuggled 24/7 next time)



Anyhoo, back to the point. Today I'm gonna elaborate and rant on the weird mechanisms on how our subconscious mind could express itself in the form of dreams. This effect is particularly imminent in times where we feel stressed out about a situation in which we keep thinking about it all the time. We try hard NOT to delve so much about it but subconsciously we cannot deny that that particular situation is indeed bugging us. If we try hard enough, yes we can actually stop thinking about it. But deep down, our subconscious will continue to ponder about it even if we try to deny the gravity of the situation and how deeply it affects our emotions. I was thinking about a situation I was facing a few weeks back. I'm not gonna elaborate on what that situation is but that night, I had a dream about that situation. It's like the dream reflects what I consciously try to avoid thinking about but am subconsciously aware that it is important to me. Strange how our dream system works. I'm sure that most of us have an idea of what I'm talking about through personal experience. In short, if we keep thinking about a certain situation, which stresses us out, the dream will come eventually. But the dream in my case is on the positive side of the situation. It's like the other side of the situation when things were still ok and I felt happy and gleeful in the dream as though as the situation was resolved. In these types of dreams, we often wake up with a smile on our faces. I'm pretty sure you have woken up with a smile before some time in your life.
My point is, there's a correlation between our dreams and our subconscious mind. You can experiment with this hypothesis if you feel somewhat skeptical about it.

I'm just gonna tell you a glimpse about my dream. I was with this close friend in a weird but really tall building. We were on the first floor where a convention was being held. I can't seem to remember what the convention was about though. What I do remember is that I found a guitar made of coconut shells. WTF I know right? Sounds ridiculous but in a dream, even the ridiculous seems normal. Anyway, my friend and I played some songs on the coconut-made guitar... or was it a guitar? Not sure, all I remember was that it was a stringed instrument. Then we rode the lift up but there were so many people in the lift that we decided to go out and catch the next lift. We were just talking and talking like we were so close. We were enjoying each other's company which was heart-lifting. Then we caught the next lift up, in the middle of going up, I awoke. Then I realized it was just a dream, darn. If only that was reality cuz I was really REALLY happy in that dream whilst spending time with that friend of mine.



How true, as you progress in life you will realize that life isn't about just reaching your destination, goal or target; instead what makes life truly worth living is learning to dance in the rain or in other words, enjoying the process of living itself. Delve on it.



Professional exam next week argh. Hope for the best peeps! -crosses fingers-

Tennis

Sup' peeps!
Dayum, seems like ALL holidays pass like there wasn't no holidays at all in the first place.
Anyway, opening humor :D

Thumbs up for the 2nd one.

Recently, some friends invited me for a tennis match. I used to take tennis coaching lessons when I was a young boy but that was like a century ago. Can't remember anything about the sport. Anyhoo, basically one of the toughest technique to master in this sport is the serve. Here are some very useful youtube vids giving tips on how to execute tennis serves properly :





Basically, for serving just make sure you throw the ball high and in a forward direction. Then, keep your head up and and watch the ball as it ascends and descends. Finally, try to hit the ball at the highest position possible. Don't forget footwork and angle of the body are also included factors in serving the proper way.

Study Week

Finals starting next monday, stress building up ahhh!
Oh well, I'll just give it my best shot albeit not feeling too well this week.
Found out that I have mild lactose intolerance.
Had diarrhea and a major intestinal bloated-ness after drinking a tall glass of low-fat milk.
Did a little research on google and found some websites which cleared my doubts on whether I had indeed developed lactose intolerance or did I wrongly diagnose myself.
Quote :

'Symptoms of lactose intolerance can be mild or severe, depending on how much lactase your body makes. Symptoms usually begin 30 minutes to 2 hours after eating or drinking milk or milk products. If you have lactose intolerance, your symptoms may include:

Bloating.
Pain or cramps in the lower belly.
Gurgling or rumbling sounds in the lower belly.
Gas.
Loose stools or diarrhea. Sometimes the stools are foamy.
Throwing up.

Many people think they are lactose-intolerant, because the symptoms of lactose intolerance are very common symptoms. If you feel sick after drinking a glass of milk one time, you probably do not have lactose intolerance. But if you feel sick every time you have milk, ice cream, or another dairy product, you may have lactose intolerance.

Sometimes people who have never had problems with milk or dairy products suddenly have lactose intolerance. This is more common as you get older. Symptoms of the most common type of lactose intolerance-adult lactose intolerance-often start during the teen or adult years and continue for life. Symptoms of acquired lactose intolerance last as long as the small intestine does not make lactase.'

I also read that most Asians will develop lactose intolerance during adulthood. Seems like I'm included in that unfortunate group. Argh, so I guess I have to resort to calcium pills and protein shakes for my calcium and protein consumption?
And to think I used to drink milk everyday when I was a little boy.
Well, actually I might not have lactose intolerance. Asked opinions from several people and some of them told me that it might be because I haven't drank milk in a long time, so maybe my body needs time to develop the normal levels of lactase production again. Oh well, hope for the best! Good to be optimistic.

Anyhoo, opening humor as usual!

If you catch my drift hehheh.

Went to Ipoh with my coursemates last Saturday.
It was really random, we started off eating Dim Sum at a chinese restaurant at Giza.
Then the driver suddenly decided to organize a daytrip to either Ipoh or Melaka.
We chose Ipoh cuz he has already been to Melaka.
Went to Gua Tempurung.
Overall the journey took approximately 2 hours from kl-ipoh.
I'll post some of the pics along and during the trip.

Guess who the driver was?

Mountainous landscape of Ipoh.

Breath-taking interior view of stalactites and stalagmites in Gua Tempurung.

Finally, I participated in archery!! I've been wanting to shoot arrows from a bow since FOREVER! Hahahaha. I was so excited when I saw that archery was amongst the various activities at Gua Tempurung recreational area. The other guys weren't as thrilled to join in but since I insisted soooo..... yeah haha. Totally worth it, RM6 for 10 arrows.

Managed to score a bulls-eye. Not bad for a first-timer haha. Beginner's luck aye? :D

Overall, the trip was good haha. It's been quite a while since I've been inside a cave. Feels as if I was standing in another dimension because of the cold, goosebumps-inducing atmosphere inside a cave.

Moving on, my baby girl finally shedded! She's been emo-fying since her eyes turned blue as a sign of entering the shedding process. Glad she's back to her normal, active, slithering behaviour now. :)

To conclude, we should give everything we do our best shot so that we don't regret later on for not putting in our best in achieving our goals. Perseverance, confidence and sincerity are the most important criteria in achieving our goals. Don't give up just because things aren't looking promising. Think about the reason you held on for so long in the first place. Cheers!

Choosing words carefully.

Ok peeps.
Serious blogpost today.
Here goes :

A lot of things we say or ask can either cause or prevent us from sounding hurtful.
Or if you catch words coming out the way they shouldn't have, rephrasing swiftly would
save you, you, you, and all of us. So my suggestion is to make phrasing your good friend.
Unless you really intend to hurt with your words then I'm sorry for you.
I'm working on it myself, and I've some examples to share with you peeps.
They may sound slightly exaggerated but different people take them at different
degrees so it'll be clearer this way. To me, at least.

When something goes wrong and the first question is:

"What did you do?"

Where it puts the receiver: You are the cause, because if you didn't do whatever
wrong things you did, I wouldn't be asking you about what you did. You should
be responsible for whatever went wrong. (How conclusive, ey?)

Instead, use: "What happened?"

I like this one because it's not pointing fingers (which I'm sure none of us want
to do before knowing anything), and it gets the person to tell you the situation.

Next one,

When someone reacts unexpectedly and it doesn't please you and you go:

"Why are you like this?"

Where it puts the receiver: Why are you behaving in such a way that I disapprove of?
I don't understand why you did/said what you did/said. I obviously think you're wrong.
You are the problem and that's the reason why I'm asking you why you're like this.
(The last line sounds like a tongue twister. :p )

Instead, use: "What made you feel this way?"

That way, you would get to listen to how it is like to be viewing the situation from
the other side, a chance to understand the other person's reactions and maybe even
help the them see the reason themselves (which could be themselves), resolving issues.

The use of 'you' in these questions would naturally put them in 'attack' mode and
may cause the other person to go all defensive even though we may not mean to
'attack' (blame/point fingers) at all. That's not really going to bring any of us
anywhere nice. Unless of course you're talking to someone who really
understands you, then lucky you. But how many of these people do we know?

Delve on it. Peace out - Kenkino (blog author)

Study break

Yo peeps!
Alright the only reason I decided to update my blog is cuz it's either this or studying.
I'm sure only nerds would prefer the latter.
AHHHHH. End-of-block exam starting next monday!!!
I HATE EXAMS.
The thing I hate is that I seriously don't feel like studying but I'm FORCED to read my slides if not I'm so screwed when the results come out.
GRRRRR.
NO MOOD STUDY BUT TERPAKSA. -flingtable- (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

The skeleton below is literally me right now. >.< (If I fling the table, my ulna and radius would snap off)

Anyhoo, enough of NERDRAGE, time for the usual opening humour.
Since it's the exam season, I'll just go for study/exam memes.

Last minute cramping for exam is screwed up. But dunno why, I seem to repeat this habit over and over again. Oh well, made it through the past 3 blocks even with last-minute studying :D ^o^ v

Anyway, this EOB is darn important cuz dental students are made compulsory to pass it to proceed to second year. If fail then have to repeat it and if fail the repeat then... gg.com.
So far my weekly assessment marks have been kind to me so just pray I'm able to pass next week.

Just mastered my guitar strumming for Pricetag by Jessie J. Next up, aiming to master fingerstyle playing for Sometimes When We Touch by Dan Hill. The lyrics for this song is just wow. Beautiful. Thumbs up.

OK, BACK TO STUDYING. PEACE OUT FROM KENKINO.

Addictive Beverages

Hmm.
Nothing to blog about lately.
Which explains the 1-month absence of mua, the blogger of this greyish-roadlike-designed blog. @@

ANYHOO.
OPENING HUMOR.
AS ALWAYS.
:D

HAHA.
LOL DON'T DENY IT.
EVERY SINGLE HOMOSAPIEN ON PLANET BUMI EXPERIENCE THIS SOMETIME IN THEIR LIFE.
1 single wrong phrase and BAM!
Game over.
Life's a bitch, deal with it, bitch :D

Oh ooh here's another one!

NICE TWIST OF WORDS BRO.
PS : If you think that the sentence above makes no sense, then your english level is bullc***.

So anyway, back to the point.
Sat for my MUET (Malaysian University English Test) two weeks ago, overall it was okay I think. Hope I'll be able to obtain at least a band 4 as that's the minimum english requirement for my course.
Worried about writing, and here's why.
Writing essays in a test is really very subjective and depends entirely on the preference and style of writing of the marker himself/herself. If the dude doesn't dig my style of writing then I'm so screwed. Hope he/she sticks to the marking criteria set forth by the MUET board and not give marks solely based on personal preference which is downright biased.
Worse yet, my essay question was 'Everyone should be a millionaire by the age of 35. Discuss.'
When I first read the question, I was literally dumbfounded. Really have to think outside the box to write this particular essay.
Tsk.

Randomness : Digged up this pic of me digging up dirt from the undigged drain.

Next up, a question I'd like to direct to coffee/milo/tea/et cetera addicts :
Have you ever had the urge for time to move faster just so that you can have your next cup of favourite beverage?
I mean, take coffee for instance.
Damn alot of caffeine in a cup of coffee.
Guaranteed insomnia if consumed after dinner.
So that makes the next cup the following morning. Weirdly, sometimes at night I want to sleep earlier so that when I open my eyes in the morning, FINALLY I CAN HAVE MY CUP OF KOPI! :D

But now I've moved on to Milo, fawk coffee :D

To wrap this post up, here's the song of the day (Eminem's voice is epic) :

Reaching Goals

Yo peeps, how's life?
For me, life's a rolling up & down roller coaster lately.
Good days, bad days.
Tsk.

Opening humour (trolling essence essentially) :

Thumbs up at no. 2 -chuckles-

Anyway, been working out quite alot lately.
Results so far :

Progress progressing according to plan, which is good haha.
Kinda slided back on working with weights during A-levels.
Aiming to get back to looking like this dude here :

Anyway, back to the point of this blogpost.
So yeah, goals.
I'm sure you all have your own personal goals in life.
Be it dealing with ambition, academic merits, tackling a special person's heart, et cetera.
PS: The third one is darn tough and needs a shitload of effort to accomplish =.=
My point is, even though things don't look promising at first, don't give up.
Keep persisting and put in your very best in achieving what you're aiming for.
In the end, even if you don't achieve it, screw that shit, cuz you've already put in your very best so there's no regrets whatsoever. Am I right?
The worst mistake a person could ever make is to not put in his very best in wanting to get something/someone.
Do not be that person.
Quote : Do it now, you become successful the moment you start moving toward a worthwhile goal.

Alright then, wish you guys all the best in living life to the utmost fullest. :)
