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.
