Clockwise and Anticlockwise?

Max told me to try this out just now, and it's pretty cool. =D

Go to one of these links, anyone one is fine (it's the same).

You'll see a lady rotating clockwise/anticlockwise. Apparently she can turn in both directions, it depends on which side of the brain you are using at different moments.

If she's turning in the clockwise direction, you're using your right brain; if she's turning in the anti-clockwise direction, you're using the left brain. Some people can see her turning both ways, but some people can only see her turning one way.

At first, I could only see her rotating clockwise. I read some of the information beside her... when I looked back, she was rotating the other way. O_o Imagine that!

Now whenever I look at her, she turns clockwise then anti-clockwise, then clockwise.... back and forth, back and forth. I can't control when she changes though, she just does. It's really interesting.

I tried controlling her to change (apparently Max can...... sien..... zzzzz...... haha). I thought about logical, analytical stuff like "What made her do that?"/ "How does our brain work?"/ read the passages --- then talked to my sister/watched some youtube stuff to switch on my other side. It sort of works, haha. She really switches.

Try it out yourself! Tell me how you went and your findings!

P/S: Gotta go study soon, want exams le. Will start in 2 hours - no, tonight - no, tomorrow. Argh! ... Still duo luo here playing with mind games, hehe. Blame Max.

未來不明的我

今天陪姐姐來RMIT University的電腦室做功課,自己也帶了点東西來復習復習。這裡的電腦是用繁體字的,哈哈,不妨也學學看。

最近很煩惱明年要選的科目。2nd year 的兩個學期各只有三個科目:1個Core Subject、1個Selective Subject、1個Breadth Subject

Core Subject是學校選的必修科目,所以不必擔心這一個;Breadth Subject是自己選和course無關的科目,如:French、Japanese、Music、Wine Tasting、Psychology、Finance、Accounting等... 很多就是了。想了好久。好不容易的,發現到蠻喜歡Management的,決定修到3rd year

現在來了這個煩死人的Selective Subjects!! 必須從12個selectives選2個,1個學期1科。我們選的selectives牽連了3rd year major,因為是majorpre-requisites

如果是你的話,你會選擇那個呢?
- Biochemistry & Molecular Biology
- Bioengineering Systems
- Biotechnology
- Cell & Developmental Biology
- Defence & Disease
- Genetics
- Human Structure and Function
- Microbiology, Infection & Immunology
- Neuroscience
- Pathology
- Pharmacology
- Physiology


我要拿Genetics,可是Genetics有兩個科目,要占兩個學期。該拿嗎? 還是要拿兩個只有一個學期的科目,可以學較多東西? 後來又聽同學說,念Neuroscience比較好,因為是甚麼new frontier,念醫科或牙科時會占較大的優勢......可我對神經學沒很大的興趣欸(真的有優勢嗎???)......

唉,我最不擅長做選擇的了,想東想西......
或許是我沒主見,容易被其他人的選擇動搖;也許是我迷迷糊糊的,不知道自己到底要甚麼、人生目標是甚麼。

誰來給我一點點啓發呀......

Call me "Emily"

今天拜六,來城市念書。搭火車到Melbourne Central,我和姐姐想喝果汁,於是去BOOST Juice買。

我:“Hi, a lemon crush please.”
女店員:“A lemon crush? Sure. What size?”
我:“Umm... medium please.”
女店員:“Sure. Can I have your name?”
我:“Amy.”
女店員(鍵入資料,看上來,微笑):“Won't be long now, Emily.”

Emily?????
哈哈。是我發音不准、聲量太小? 不然就是她聽覺有問題,哈哈。

不久後,果汁打好了。另一個店員,看著單,拿著杯,叫:“Emily.”

=.="

Pot charge sure to stick

Police say they’ve nabbed a real pothead.

An officer saw a 29-year-old Cesar Lopez peering inside his baseball cap in Lebanon, 120km northwest of Philadephia.

When he looked up, the officer noticed a small bag of marijuana stuck to his forehead.

The cop peeled the bag off Lopez’s head and arrested him.

哈哈哈,逊死了!!

Update!

幾百年沒寫部落格了。這個學期感覺上比上個學期忙很多欸... ... 相信大家都已点擊到厭倦回來查看我的部落格了,哈哈。不好意思啦~ 不知道還會有人來看看嗎,寫就是了。

這周已是Week 10了,再多兩個星期,我在大學的第一年就結束了! 然後就要考試了,怕怕...... 昨天考完物理小考,接下來的兩個星期沒甚麼考試或功課要交,就趁此機會掃一掃蜘蛛網。=)
