Compliance.

Say cheese!

On Monday, we all have a good excuse to have lunch in town because of the pre-warned electricity shortage that will last until evening. Well, might as well get some shopping (aka necessities) done at the same time since the weather was fine. ;)

Right, I'm either having Big Mac, McChicken or Fillet-o-fish because of the coupons I took long ago. :P I'll wait till one day when I have a good reason to try other things on the menu heheh. #fattening

In Year 3, I've learnt more about the importance of patient compliance. Complexity of a product may affect a person's perception towards a product. :/ 

"Compliance - degree to which a patient correctly follows medical advice"

For example, recently I wanted to buy a bottle of fish oil tabs or caps. Compare :

a) Take x tablets each day to build up maximum effect, then reduce to x after x weeks. Take x or x daily.
b) Take ONE daily. -__-"

Obviously I went for the second one after reading how tedious the first one was. hahah.

Also, I bought "Bio-Oil" which is recommended for improving the appearance of scars. It has other functions too such as, application for stretch marks, uneven skin tone, aging skin, and dehydrated skin. It may be pricey but probably something you should invest in.

Results may be seen in THREE months. T__T Again, patient compliance... But if you want to have the full effect of the product, it's better to follow obediently. :P

1, 2 Step and Get Up.

See that small white speck at the top right of the photo? If you could've guess, it's the MOON! You can see the moon after 3p.m.. Well of course it's bigger and more fascinating in real life. XP

It's almost half a month here and I still love the local battered fish and chips, yummy! I'm getting used to eating them with salt and vinegar, slightly salty and sourish is the best combination! Not forgetting occasionally I opt for chips and gravy but now I bought gravy mix (just adding hot water and voila!) so hopefully it'll save me a few bucks heheh.

Jilliancat and her super-underused Canon. :(

Topshop Baseball Bomber Jacket,.coincidentally as seen on my favourite singer-dancer, Ciara. If I were to name the best dancer, it will DEFINITELY be her. ;)

The downside is that in real life, the acorn badge looks like it's all faded even though it's the design. -_-" Oh well. I've finally got myself a baseball jacket because I don't like numbers or random alphabets on it. Okay so now it makes me feel more like a scout or a camper. Errrr??! Haha. +_+

See you soon. :)

Magic Of Nutella.

Last week, my "sister" and I baked a cake for our housemate's birthday. We made everything from scratch and from that I meant.. A really spontaneous one. All we had were butter, sugar, eggs and plain flour. We lack the magic essence aka "vanilla essence", and baking powder or self-raising flour. OH note that we also didn't have a baking tray, lol. Plus, we had to borrow milk from our other housemate too lol. 

So my "sister" came out with a method taught by her friend, on how to bake a cake without everything I mentioned. It's her secret so I'm not the one to share. :)  

Because of the choking smell of the dough (slightly exaggerated), I remembered the magic of nutella, being inspired by tumblr. I had been a fan of nutella since young and I know nutella is expensive back in my country. So I'm enjoying the best out of it here in UK, heheh. :/

So when the cake of set, each of us holding a table knife and let the magic happen LOL.

A Dream Within A Dream.

Before my lab class, I took an hour nap and in my dream, I dreamt I woke up and went to wash my face. Then right after that, I realised I was dreaming. So I quickly got up and changed my clothes instead of washing my face. AGAIN, I realised I was dreaming, wtf, then in the third time, instead of washing my face, changing my clothes, I packed my bag....

I forgotten how long did it go on, waking up & realising I was dreaming, doing something different all the time and finally, the alarm woke me up for real. Felt even more tired like I had use too much brain power to narrate the entire dream lol.

dream exhaustion by daimonia

I hate this false awakening because it actually makes my brain so exhausted every time I wake up. +_+

"A false awakening is a vivid and convincing dream about awakening from sleep, while the dreamer in reality continues to sleep. After a false awakening, subjects often dream they are performing daily morning rituals such as cooking, cleaning and eating. The experience is sometimes called a double dream, or a dream within a dream."

"Because the mind still dreams after a false awakening, there may be more than one false awakening in a single dream. Subjects may dream they wake up, eat breakfast, brush their teeth, and so on; suddenly awake again in bed (still in a dream), begin morning rituals again, awaken again, and so forth. The philosopher Bertrand Russell claimed to have experienced "about a hundred" false awakenings in succession while coming around from a general anesthetic."  - [source]
