psyched up about psychology?

            Do you ever wonder how a series of flash lights often appears to be moving? Well, you would be able to explain this phenomenon if you what is Gestalt’s theory. What is Gestalt’s theory? What good does it do to one? How is it applied in our daily life? Moreover, who had found this theory? Was anyone else involved? What is the name of the founder? Where is he from? Was the discovery of this theory accidental or was it something the founder was working on for many years? These are the string of question that would pop-up on everyone’s mind when an unknown theory was introduced. The answer to all this questions are as followed…

first off, you must know this guy :DD

 THIS IS.... THE AMAZINGGG... founder of Gestlalt Theory... BUT!! he is NOT going to get all the credits here.. because.... Originating in the work of Mark Wertheimer, Gestalt psychology formed partially as a response to the structuralism of Wilhelm Wundt. Gestalt psychology formed partly as a reaction to the atomism of the structuralist school of thought.

moving on to a few examples to get your mind boggling.

now, what do you see? two faces or one vase? fear not, this might be an optical illusion (according to your GK but this could be explained by Max Wertheimer's theory which is Gestalt Theory. 

WANT SOME MORE? ALRIGHT. 

WELL, WELL,, now what do you see? it all depends on your "perception" and the way you see it.

     According to the Gestalt thinkers, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. From this school of thought emerged the Gestalt’s law of perceptual organization. This set of perceptual principles explains how smaller objects are grouped together to form larger ones. According to Max Wertheimer (1924) “ The fundamental “formula” of Gestalt theory might be expressed in this way : There are wholes, the behavior of which is not determined by that of their individual elements, but where the part-processes are themselves determined by the intrinsic nature of the whole. 

It is the hope of Gestalt theory to determine the nature of such wholes.”

The Gestalt psychologists’ primary interest was perception, and they believed that perceptual experiences depend on the patterns formed by stimuli and on the organization of experience. 

so, dear readers, i hope you get a head start before you actually come head on with this kinda situation. next time, when a person hand you a paper with a picture similar to these and asks you to explain, i hope you nail him down with the theory you have in hand :D

Copycat or Trendsetter?

Ever felt sick of being followed? Or maybe sick of following people?

Well, I've experienced both and i am currently going through it all over again. funny thing is, i never learnt anything useful from the beginning and so, i don’t know how to cope now. at first my sister followed me, if it were as an idol I'd appreciate it, but it’s not, it’s merely copying whatever she feels like copying. that was just my sister, it’s entirely normal for your sister to tag around behind your fame, and it’s an entirely different matter if your friend (so-called) starts to do so. at first, when I'm initiating my plan (A.K.A MY BUSINESS) but just asking for their support, they turn down and start meddling with my plans, criticising and so on…. when they finally see the result, (which of course is POSITIVE and AS PLANNED) they want to dodge all their crap-beliefs and start following mine. AS IFFF!!!! c’mon lah.. don’t you ever get tired of following a person? give her some private time please!! if you’re not, I AM!!!! Orr,,, at least do me a favour, you feeble mankind, don’t discourage her/him when she’s about to carry out her plan.. give her some support even if you think it won’t work!….. you might think i’m a selfish person, BE IT. I JUST DON’T CARE ANYMORE!!!

I’m sick and tired of COPYCATS!!! I guess the reason why i don’t know how to cope with it now or didn’t learn anything useful from the start is because i always convince myself as being the TRENDSETTER.. (as what my mum used to say) but now, things are starting to get boring and repetitive.

WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE!!!!!

You have no idea how I feel right now. Confused between am I doing the right thing and  is this what I actually want, trying to keep myself as composed as possible, taking in the situation- which is the totally opposite from what and where I used to be. I get it now. I cannot unite with the surrounding situation and with everyone else.

I have problems. Yes. I too know others have problems. Well, in fact I think my problem as a terminal illness. I don’t wish to elaborate more on that. However I try or others try, it just makes matter’s worse. I could control it, but then… I simply don’t know how to describe.  It’s better off not known. 

Being in college was supposed to be fun. It is, I admit that. But only to an extend where I don’t think I’m leading my own life. More like a puppet’s. I try my best at getting used to the surrounding but when I do, I never feel comfortable, there’s guilt. Guilt in which the things I never used to think twice about. Now sitting here, facing the computer makes me wonder did I actually choose my path? Is this what I wanted?

I’m gifted. In many ways others could not have imagined. I’ll possibly get over this after a while, but I just won’t be the same person anymore. Well, at least not the health one I used to be. I’d be more of a tape recorder which the coils have been pulled out of their sockets and is unable to get repaired again. I don’t want that. Never, but I don’t think I have a choice either.

#sad song playing in the room beside me. I hate that because its altering my mood right now.#

I talk in riddles, well here’s one thing I wish to spill out. I HATE THESE BLOODY SCHOLARSHIPS. They’re prejudiced. There’s not much of a choice and I just don’t get the point in getting straight As  in SPM now. I have enough stress in college, I don’t want to think about the lack of one A+ all the time people ask me why I didn’t apply for scholarship. Well, tell me which BLODDY SCHOLARSHIP GIVES MEDIC TO INDIANS?! Then I’ll definitely put an effort. Just don’t come to me asking me to go searching. I have much better things to do. < ---- which is what I haven’t had the time to figure out.

I’m most probably rattling my brain for a sad excuse to blog because of the incident that happened today. I left my id card in my bag and therefore tried forging into the dorm by using my friend’s id. Well, unfortunately.. (didn’t I tell ya before luck never sides me?) I was found out. I don’t mind that because it happens to college students.. this mischief is what makes things going but the part where the guard said she didn’t like people forging ids… I was pissed. I didn’t even bother looking at her face. C’mon man. Be realistic. I saw her letting the seniors in and out of the dorm.. SHE DOES THAT TO ALL THE MALAYS.( no offence.. well heck. I don’t care if you do either). AND TELL ME, WHAT RIGHT DOES SHE HAVE TO SAY THAT TO A FRESHMAN LIKE ME?!

Making choices

Why can’t i make a simple choice?
.
.
.
.
The throbbing head and hammering questions lingering in my head makes me wanna’ puke at myself. Am i that undecidable? What do i actually want in my life? sighs*.. TT.TT if you ask me, making a choice could be my worst nightmare- sometimes. It’s as if you know it would turn out right, but what if.. WHAT IF... things turn out sour? Will i be able to handle it? Am i that interested in the career that i’d be willing to preevere?

*tears accumulating*

 i feel absolutely useless. Why did god have to create a human being so perfect (in the sense of no terminating disease or handicapped) and present a puzzle together? I mean, what’s so hard in choosing what you like to do? Look... this is why i feel i can’t decide. I love to write... but the thing is, when i see or read novels and WATTPAD, i feel there are much more people who are potential writers and i feel.. well, kind of insecure (if you know what i mean) i feel i might not stand a chance against them.. i’m definitely not optimistic, the way i express my inner feelings towards myself, neither am i completely pessimistic; because i don’t give up entirely. This is where the trouble begins, i’m captured between the two... trying to make decisions and trying  to judge.

 MY LIFE’S COMPLICATED AND I’M MUCH MORE COMPLICATED. 

You know why when i grow up i would like to have a room to which i could stare up to the empty sky wonder in the galaxy of stars? Yeah, to reflect on my decisions and whatever i’m facing. I feel staring up at the stars could make me a bit relaxed and self-appreciative.

 *crying*(don’t mind me- though there might not be anyone reading this)

 self- appreciative? Wait a sec. Who am i kidding?! I could be the uttermost timid person on earth!!!  I'm incapable of getting my confidence right. I know it doesn't make sense, but alas, my life doesn’t, i don’t.. why should what i say make sense?.. forget what i just crapped. i’m already screwed up anyway. I often find myself comparing to others and i don’t know what i want. I‘m a ship sailing without proper navigation. I’m useless in the' courage the cowardly dog' show.

 I’m everything but what you know me of. I’m an actress when it comes to communicating with people. I’m fake. I’m even unsure of what i am!!!
