Erotic images can turn you blind!

18:09 12 August 2005 by Gaia Vince

Researchers have finally found evidence for what good Catholic boys have known all along - erotic images make you go blind. The effect is temporary and lasts just a moment, but the research has added to road-safety campaigners' calls to ban sexy billboard-advertising near busy roads, in the hope of preventing accidents.

The new study by US psychologists found that people shown erotic or gory images frequently fail to process images they see immediately afterwards. And the researchers say some personality types appear to be affected more than others by the phenomenon, known as "emotion-induced blindness".

David Zald, from Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, and Marvin Chun and colleagues from Yale University in Connecticut, showed hundreds of images to volunteers and asked them to pick a specific image from the rapid sequence. Most of the images were landscape or architectural scenes, but the psychologists included a few emotionally charged images, portraying violent or sexually provocative scenes.

The closer these emotionally charged images occurred prior to the target image, the more frequently people failed to spot the target image, the researchers found.

"We observed that people failed to detect visual images that appeared one-fifth of a second after emotional images, whereas they can detect those images with little problem after neutral images," Zald says.

Laughter, the best medicine...EVER!

1. "I've finally found a way to get money out of my husband." a woman told her friend. "We were arguing last night, and I told him I was going home to Mother. He gave me the fare."

2. A little girl asked her mother for ten cents to give to an old lady in the park. Her mother was touched by the child's kindness and gave her the required sum. "There you are my dear." Said the mother. "But tell me, isn't the lady able to work any more?"
"Oh yes." came the reply. "she sells sweets."

3. "But dear," said the mother to her little kid. "I didn't hear you cry when you cut your finger!" "What's the use of crying? I thought you were outside the house."

4. An excited woman called her husband at work. "I won the lottery!" she exclaimed. "Pack your clothes!"
"Great!" he replied. "Summer or winter clothes?"
"All of them-I want you out of the house by six!"

Guess it's just isn't my niche!

Tomorrow, i got 'Current Issue' class- a subject which discusses current issues (obviously) in education & teaching profession. It's also a subject I less favour the most!Aiyyaaaiiyai!I do not know why on earth do i hate this subject very much.(or maybe it's not hate, but more of a strong dislike)Maybe I am not really into current issues-especially when it involves politics and history (i got lousy grade for my history subject in SPM)

--->I guess history and especially current issue is NOT my niche! *sigh*

“Miss, you are FIRED!”

While enjoying my dinner last two days at one restaurant here in Kota Bharu, I suddenly recalled one unforgettable incident involving dinner. When I was studying in Shah Alam, my housemates and I once went to $*********$ for our dinner. It was about 8.30pm and there were only two customers eating when we reached there. By the time we stepped into the franchisee, none of the workers greeted us as they are supposed to, like any other franchisee. However, that was not a big deal. We cared much about our empty belly than that matter. We chose our table at the right corner. Soon, the waiter approached us and hand in the menu card and he disappeared without saying a word. While we were arguing about what to eat, one of the waitresses came and stood straight on my right side with paper and pen in her hand. The waitress did not say any word and just stood there like a statue of liberty, not to mention her sour face. Then, I told her that I wanted to eat a single roasted chicken set with soya bean. Still with her sour face, she asked me to repeat by saying, “hah?” instead of any other polite words she could and should use as a waitress. After repeated myself, my three housemates said that they wanted to try the single noodle set. However, they had to choose which noodles and how did they want the noodles being cooked. Therefore, the three of them took quite some time to decide while figuring out the bombastic names of the food served. ”Miss waitress, aren’t you suppose to explain all these bombastic meals to your customer?” I said to myself. My housemates were so blur and miss waitress was so cold and annoying. I could tell from her face that she was irritated because my housemates have not decided yet on what they wanted, even though 5 minutes had passed. “But then, whose fault is that. They would not take that much time to decide if you have explained each of them, miss waitress.” Then, one of my housemates asked the waitress, “What is shredded chicken noodle?” and the waitress’ reaction was “hah?” with an annoying sour face. After my housemates repeated the question, she then answered coldly. “My God, you should not work here if you are too lazy to open up your mouth and entertain the customers!” I said (to myself-again!)
After everyone has made their order, the waitress took the menu card and went away. We were really mad over her rudeness and impoliteness. She treated us like we were a bunch of retarded who have no money to pay for our dinner. I thought the irritating part had over. However, when the waitress came to serve for our drink, she accidentally spilled all the drinks onto our table. WHAT?! Miss, what is your problem actually?! You nearly drowned my hand phone and purse in those strawberries, soya bean and Pepsi! Luckily, two of my housemates were not sitting at the left corner or else they would enjoy the free bathing session with strawberries and soya bean! Phew! At that time, I felt like saying – “Miss, you are FIRED!”

Things i hate..

Speaking about things of dislike, I really hate powder milk. I have no idea of why I hate it so much but I really hate that white powder thingy. For me, powder milk makes me feel nausea and a bit…I don’t even know what that feeling is called but the taste is terrible, and awful and horrible as well. When I was in kindergarten, I hate to drink milk which prepared by the cook. I once tried the milk but I felt like vomiting. That powder milk was so terrible. Since, I never drink powder milk. I only took tea which prepared by the kind cook or plain water rather than torturing myself with the terrible taste. I am sorry Miss Cook, it was not your fault, but it was the powder milk’s!

I also hate numbers! I hate everything that has got to do with calculating and numbers. I really could not figure out why but I think that my brain does not functioning when it comes to numbers. Therefore, I felt so tortured and suffered to study all the numbers and making accounts for companies when I was in form 4. I was forced to take the accounting course since my PMR result did not qualified to allow me to take the science stream. As my mother always said, everything happens with reason. Therefore, I guess that is why I am now an English teacher-to-be and not an accountant or engineer. That is because God knows very well that I can never cope with numbers!

serabutttt!

Bismillah..

It's January 11th:

I'm in the 2nd week of my study already, and that means i got another 14 more weeks to be finished. There are too many incidents occurred today, to the extent that i think i could not take it anymore.I don't think I am strong enough to shoulder all these.The worst part is, it all came to me simultaneously and that really put both my hands up...

--<@: Rasa serabutt!Rasa tak boleh berfikir!Rasa Serabutt!

O dear Allah, give me strength.
O dear Allah, give me courage.
O dear Allah, give me faith.
Amiiin, Yarabbal Alamin.

Doa Yang Berkat

When i was flipping through 'ASUH' magazine..i found this interesting article & i feel like sharing it.May it benefits everyone ;)

6 panduan tatacara berdoa:

1. Angkat tangan ke paras dada.
2. Rapatkan kedua-dua belah tangan.
3. Perhatikan urat tangan kanan dan kiri bercantum seakan-akan membentuk seperti sampan. Apabila kedua-dua urat tangan itu bertemu, ia akan menjadi huruf ‘ba’. Titik ‘ba’ terletak di hati kita. Kedudukannya rendah dari tangan yang kita tadah. Untuk setiap huruf hijaiah dalam al-Quran, Allah perintahkan satu malaikat menjaganya. Malaikat ‘Har Hayaail’ bertanggungjawab menjaga huruf ‘ba.’ Malaikat ini akan mengangkat doa kita terus mengadap Allah tanpa sebarang perantara. Jadi, berdoalah bersungguh-sungguh dengan penuh pengharapan.
4. Duduklah dalam keadaan sopan seperti duduk iftirasy dan duduk tahiyat akhir. Jika berdiri, tegakkan badan betul-betul dan jangan menyandar.
5. Sepanjang berdoa, banyakkan memuji kebesaran Allah dan menyebut nama-nama Allah yang lain sesuai dengan keperluan kita pada masa itu. Contohnya, jika berdoa dimurahkan rezeki sebutlah nama Allah, Ar-Razaq dengan disusuli selawat ke atas Nabi Muhammad S.A.W.
6. Berdoalah bersungguh-sungguh dari hati. Jangan rasa tertekan jika tidak tahu berdoa dalam bahasa Arab kerana Allah itu Maha Pengasih. Allah Maha memahami dan Maha Mendengar segala tutur kata hamba-Nya. *Wallahualam*
