Psycho... logy

"Religious belief refers to a mental state in which faith is placed in a creed related to the supernatural, sacred, or divine" wiki

It so hard when someone tries to overpower you with their beliefs.Trying to mould you to be what they believe in eventhough you have your own belief.

"Respect denotes both a positive feeling of esteem for a person of other entity (such as a nation or a religion), and also specific actions and conduct representative of that esteem. Respect can be a specific feeling of regard for the actual qualities of the one respected"

They've lost it!

Run away......

Close up pictures of the tsunami aftermath in Japan...
PICTURES

and the ground still tremors every few hours....

but there seems to be a glimmer of hope of more survivors after THIS

Japan's tsunami was so massive that more people are updating on it.

"Government officials revealed the fate of 9,500 people in the north eastern port of Minamisanriku was still unknown almost two days after the double disaster hit. The official death toll stands at 574, but more than 1,700 people are believed to have been buried in the rubble or washed away by the waves."

But now, memories of the very recent flood in Queensland, Australia and the earthquake at Christchurch, New Zealand are coming back. Those two countries are still in the midst of 'cleaning' up.

Which country next?

Snow

An icy mountain, only millimeters high, casts a tiny shadow in the late morning winter sunshine.

The much talked about tsunami

Reading the news about the tsunami which occured in Japan is one thing. But seeing the pictures of the wreckage occured made it extremely heart-wrenching. I sit here, look around, and ponder - If it happens here, what would I do?

All the scenes are so alike to the ones we see in action movies.

The height of waves from the tsunami as it travelled across the Pacific basin

Yesterday, I also read about some astrologers believing that since the moon is at a point on the orbital which is closest to Earth, hence, there is a strong gravitational pull which is bound to cause earthquakes and other natural disasters around the world on March 19, which is a week from now. They call it "Supermoon".

But of course, science researchers are calling it bull on the supermoon theory.

Scientifically, according to Dr Roger Musson, head of seismic hazard at the British Geological Survey, described the quake, of 8.9-magnitude, as a "truly massive event."
He said: "This earthquake happened because the Pacific Plate, one of the largest of the tectonic plates that make up the crust of the Earth, is plunging deep underneath Japan. It's being pushed down and it can't slide down smoothly so it sticks.

It sticks for tens of years then eventually it breaks and moves very suddenly down, buckling and giving the seabed a sudden kick over areas of hundreds of square kilometres. That displaces an enormous volume of water. That water just races away in the form of this enormous wave in all directions."

Looking at the picture below, it looks like there was a chance Malaysia could have been affected.

Same, different

Back home in KL, it was weekly dose of teh si with kaya butter toast in Oldtown or X amount of teh tarik when studying in IMU's library.

Coming to Glasgow, no such thing has yet to be found here. Even if I found a cup sold here, it would burn a hole in my pocket to have it on a weekly basis.

But then I was introduced to this Sainsbury Chocolate flavoured milk. Creamy, rich, "less than 2% fat *lol*"... It has been something I've bought every fortnight. It goes well on its own or with cereal or with any other meal :)

Different but at the same time same as teh si/teh tarik...

On another thought, does the Scottish accent have anything to do with the wind? Thats why their accent is like the mumbly kind. Wind + Cold = mouth cramps, frozen tongues, dry lips..?

just.a.thought.... since its windy and cold outside now :/

The past

Photographs are memories worth a million years. I looked back at some of the old photos and the forgotten past became the present again, memories flooding.

There were some photos which I took with people, who were mere acquantaince at first, but now we became closer years later. We became friends. Looking back at the photos made me go, "Oh, I took a picture with you before!"

So, it is sometimes worthwhile to take pictures with strangers... who knows they might 'click' with you in the future.

Same goes with food that I cook.... :P:P
