You are not so smart...??

assalamualaikum and hi!!

Last tuesday, when i was surfing and blogwalking others from my computer, i have read about something interesting. It was about a book that has been sold lately. I dont know malaysia's bookstore have sold it or restricted from the own country or not. It's You Are Not So Smart. It's all about expectations and how what you expect from things, changes the way you perceive them. Well, it's look like sometimes there's been a lots misconcept in what we may think.

For example: i think this example was very famous.. It's Farmville's Game..

The Misconception is: You make rational decisions based on the future value of objects, investments and experiences.
The Truth is: Your decisions are tainted by the emotional investments you accumulate, and the more you invest in something the harder it becomes to abandon it. and bla-bla-bla.. (actually too long to write) please read at --> you are not so smart's blog)

some sort like psychoing. btw. The writer love psychology. ahaah..!!

Another was on the way of the next video describes procrastination and presents bias astonished me and I think that I've to share it with you. It’s so nice, not only for the content, but for the media. I think it is one of the most clear and direct presentations I have ever seen.





OK, as the video says, I will not waste any time and I’ll start studying right now .. I'll go and read my books. Thank for being one of invisible-good-teacher here dear video. Well said.

---daaaaaa---- see you later!

The unique river in the world!

Assalamualaikum and hi!!

I want to share with you all about this unique river i had seen. Nope, that doesnt mean that i'll be there before but I have see it just from pictures. I've been captivated by its fresh and picturesque scenery. The way to reach there also challenging too.. so, check it out!!

What it is?
A unique biological wonder, Cano Cristales has been referred as the "river of five colors," "the river that ran away from paradise," and "the most beautiful river in the world." Cano Cristales is located in a remote, isolated area not easily accessible by road.

Where it is?? I'm so Excited!!

Serrania de la Maccarena, Columbia

How to get there??

According to an articles, Adventurous tourists can fly into the nearby town of La Macarena. From there it is a short trip into "Serrania de la Macarena," the national park in which Cano Cristales is located. From there, they must make their way to the river site on horseback (or donkeyback) and by foot as part of a guided tour. Visitors are not permitted to stay overnight or cook.

How it can be so colourful??? =))

For most of the year, Caño Cristales is indistinguishable from any other river: a bed of rocks covered in dull green mosses are visible below a cool, clear current.

However, for a brief period of time every year, the river blossoms in a vibrant explosion of colors. During the short span between the wet and dry seasons, when the water level is just right, a unique species of plant that lines the river floor called Macarenia clavigera turns a brilliant red. It is offset by splotches of yellow and green sand, blue water, and a thousand shades in between.

This only happens for a brief period in between seasons. During Colombia's wet season, the water flows too fast and deep, obscuring the bottom of the river and denying the Macarenia clavigera the sun that it needs to turn red. During the dry season there is not enough water to support the dazzling array of life in the river. But for a few weeks from September through November, the river transforms into a veritable living rainbow.

Tense of Noises.

assalamualaikum and hi!!

Do you ever feel living and standing on a noisy street? have you feel stress? yes, im sure! that's the street and not a home where do you live. You feel so tense whatever you do at home. Tranquility and calmness is lost at all. No place for you to relax after hectic life you face.

During this period of time, im having same problem too. My life seems to go non-stop hearing noises from the time I wake up until the minute i close my night sleep. So i came out with some miscellaneous thought to get rid of the noises.

1. Turn my radio out loud as i can compete with the noise.

2. Doing same works with them together.

3. Break down their windows to make sure they stop doing noise for a while.

4. Calling police for some solutions.

5. Break down emergency bell to make them panic.

6. Shout out loud to one who make noise.

However it's not the ordinary noise out there!, There is a building being built in front of mine. A building construction with 7-8floors. So damn irritated! So, the best way is to move to another house as soon as possible. i cant move now. So, what can i do to make me happy?

1. Go to friend's house? Ermm, no way i can stay a long time in my friend's house. Might disturb their time. Need to bring much things and etc. Moreover, uneasy for me to stay long in their home too.

2. Just go for some hours, then come back home? Nah, this still cant change situation at own house right.

3. Just study at cafe or library? Still need to spend out of money even some. I need to save my money. No no no..

4.I dont want to go out from my house. There's pollutant outside there.

5. Holiday just one day. I want to spend my precious time in home. I want to take time to rest and dont want to create any activities or make own business outside my home. Except exercise.

LOLs, like a saying goes, "hendak seribu daya, x mahu seribu dalih." aiyaaa!! many reason come out. This is when the laziness haunting me. so, what do you want to do.? Think! Think! My last solution, Study with Music! Lappy! etc.. btw, CNN shows that study with music may harm you studying. wargghhh! the best way is sleep.. !!! weeehee..~ ( if my mom know this she will kill me instead) however, the truth is i cant sleep during the construction being done. So im not in a mood and i just immune myself with the noise and i'm studying.. wuuhuu! sooooo 'Teruk' i am.. =(

Sudden remininscing the Afghan Girl..

assalamualaikum and hi!

Do you remember the story of Afghan Girl? It's very interesting story. Her name was reveal after 17 years of her appearance in one of most popular magazine. The girl is mystery, right?

It's a long long story during soviet war in Afghanistan. A photographer had took a picture of one of the girl in afghanistan's refungee in Pakistan. He is Steve McCurry. The girls with the sea green eye had captivated the world since her appearance on the National Geography cover's magazine in 1985. During that time, Steve even dont know her name and of course people too. After about 17 years afterward, Steve and team of National Geography had went to Pakistan and search for the girl with green eyes. The team showed her picture to peoples there. However some trust report that she was in Afganistan. After they meet her, Steve was very confirmed that the girl he photographed before was her. They got know each other. The girl is name Sharbat Gula, and she is Pashtun, that most warlike of Afghan tribes. She is 28, perhaps 29, or even 30. No one, not even she, knows for sure.

Just look deep into her eyes. You know what? Im also have been captivated by her eyes too!! and here she is after the reveal.

Sightly or a bit different right? But i'm still captivated her old sea green eyes she had. So magnificient! Do contact lens have this colour nowadays? I think they still none. SubhanAllah! if there is, i think im not suitable to wear that cntact lens. As im truly asia. weeheee.. ! (originally black eye, no need to change =))
