Psyche Comics 001: Regression


This comic is done by *drumrolls* yours truly, ME!

Psyche comics is a mini series on some terms and so on in Psychology that I have learned over the course of my studies. It’s a mini series because Psyche comics have no heads and no tails. Meaning that it doesn’t have a big plot or anything. Just some little storyline in each issue.

The “Purple Hellgirl” title is actually the title of the series I’m making during my semester break. And Psyche is just a spinoff of that. Just for laughs and what not.

Please enjoy my comics and COMMENTS are VERY welcome ;)

Outing with the Tutor

Yesterday, Liru, Kogi, Chan Wai, and I went on a spontaneous trip to One Utama with our tutor to watch any movie. Yes, at first, I thought it was some kind of joke as well since not many people would think to go out with their tutor. But of course, that’s what happened. We went out with our tutor :D

It was around 12.59pm when we got to the cinema and was choosing a movie. Looked we did until our tutor pointed out Water Horse. We didn’t mind any movie as long as it was a movie so we went with that. However, I did learn something new that day. Chan Wai is afraid of watching Horror movies! Bruhahahahaha!!! >=D

So I think it was after about 10 minutes later that we got our movie tickets (and Chan Wai hasn’t paid me back yet!!) and headed to the ATM machine to cash out money and head off to Wong Kok Char Chan Teng to have lunch. Poor Liru had some measely looking tempura kinda lunch (she just had her wisdom tooth taken out so she can’t eat much), Kogi and Chan Wai had the cheese rice dishes, and Ms. Karen and I had the spicy noodles (Yum!).

Believe it or not, we spent the whole time before the movie in the restaurant :D from 12.30pm right up to 3.45pm lol! We only left because we needed to go to the toilet and head off to the movies before the movie began at 4.15pm. Doesn’t mean the restaurant was all that good. It was just a place to kill time and while we try to finish our drinks.

We had a fun time in the restaurant though just talking and eating. But I’ve kinda forgotten what we talked about in the restaurant our conversation is strictly P and C only ;) ! Oh what the heck, just look at the photos below :D

Liru, Ms. Karen, and Chan Wai
You’re too close Chan Wai!! Look at how Ms. Karen feels about you being so near!

Me and Kogi
We’re perfectly happy just posing for the cam ;)

After that, we went trodding off to the nearest washroom while Chan Wai went to look for the Instrument store to get new drumsticks (which I thought he was talking about chicken drumsticks at first >_> ooops?).

P.S. May contain spoilers no matter how small it is! Read at your own risk.

Every big secret starts small…

But…how do you keep a secret this big?!

It was a very funny movie to say the least. And seriously, I think the 4 or 5 of us was laughing the loudest in the cinema but what the heck eh? If the movie is a funny movie, you should show it. And that’s what we did ;) But I have to say…

THAT

is

one

fugly-looking

adult 

Water

Horse!

He looks way better in the night compared to when it’s exposed to daylight. The funny thing was, while watching the movie, Kogi and I were saying very funny comments such as applying Psychology to the movie o_O!! For example when they shot the cannon for the first time and how Crusoe attacked Angus, I said it was because Crusoe had encountered a traumatic experience with which Kogi replied in a laughing way, “he got PTSD, ha”!

Another example was when Angus acknowledged that his dad wasn’t coming home. I said that before that, he was in denial, and now he has ultimately reached acceptance. Both of that is 2 of the stages of grief.

So you see, being psychology students that we are, we can’t help but apply the newly gained knowledge we have on everyday life and even in movies!! We’re unique, special, eccentric, and funny that way ;) So after the movie, before leaving the comfortable seats in the cinema, we took a couple more pictures to store in our memory of that day.

M29-4

Cheese~!

M29-5

Peace!

Now that the evidence pictures are in, I’ll be saying bye-bee again since that’s the end of today’s blogging and there just isn’t anymore. Memories are meant to be memories and to prevent myself from forgetting it, this memory will be stored here for years to come.

BYE-BEE!

A short video about “PTSD”

PTSD also known as Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

This is another video made by my group for a second presentation this semester for our Abnormal Psychology class.

It’s really all about how someone can get PTSD and how it can affect the person having it.

Enjoy the video because we certainly enjoyed making it.

*cough* I know I look extra humungously fat in the video :P but hey, I’ve been eating a whole shitload recently due to stress so I’m excused :D gonna go back on a diet as soon as my finals are over ;) *cough*

A short video about “Children in Divorced Families”

This is a video made by my group members. I was the person directing it. It’s really funny and sad at the same time.

Funny when my team members were doing the acting.

Sad when you start to realize that there are children out there suffering thanks to their inconsiderate parents.

Don’t get married if you think it’s just going to end. And don’t let your child suffer the pains of your decisions.

Meet Ms. Clubbin’ Queen

Clubbin' Queen

Shakin’ my booty~

Introducing my first deviant in my Deviantart account here.

This drawing is NOT me kthxbai! This drawing is of my tutor in University.

I bet you’re all wondering why I drew her as my first work in Deviantart. Now now, don’t go denying it straight out. I know you’re very, very, VERY curious :D

She actually told me to draw a cartoon for her and when I asked what, she said anything. So I decided to base it off of her :D I did that because usually I am lazy to go and scan my comics without pressure. And since this is a request, I decided to un-lazy myself :) (yes, there is NO such word as UN-lazy, I just created it lol).

So now, this is a rather good outcome if I say so myself. I think I did a good job trying to portray her but I did made her thighs a bit too big and he hair a bit out of character but I’m sure she won’t begrudge me it >_>

Oh yeah, in future, there will be more works like this and even comic strips. Just not anytime soon. Maybe starting next week when I have the time. So watch out for it because I’ll post it both on my deviantart account as well as here in my blog.

So don’t worry, it’s safe for all ages to view unless of course, stated by me ;) however, there may be violence and such >_> just not nudity (sorry perverted dudes out there :P ).

EDIT : I have decided to delay the comic thing until after my finals since I will have about a whole month of free time after the finals and before my Industrial Attachment :D

Day 2, Mission FAILED

Day 1 was a success, only used RM 1.60. But…

I have failed miserably in continuing with my Mid March Challenge on Day 2…in fact, today, skipping Political Science lecture, I together with 2 friends went to the Curve to shop for stuff and watched a movie.

In total, I have used…RM 150 ++!!! That’s more than I would have usually done so…but it’s all for a good cause! I swear!!

All I did was bought stationaries totaling to RM 80++, Sister’s present (RM 20), movie and snacks (RM 12++), lunch and dinner (RM 30++)…but I did have a free ride home :D

But I swear, I can’t use anymore this week. And next week, the plan goes on as usual. >_> I know, I don’t seem to go according to plan when I DO plan :P but I promise I’ll be a good girl now :D

Mid March Challenge ‘08

I’ve just came up with a very scary yet serious challenge for myself.

Brace yourself. For the challenge is VERY challenging indeed!

……

…………

……………………

I’m going to force myself to ONLY spend RM 5 every week for the rest of this month.

I have been really bored lately and I thought this challenge should be interesting indeed to find out if I can resist temptation (running to my piggy savings dishing out more cash). If this challenge is a success, I will definitely make a different challenge each month to test my limits.

RM 5 meaning that I must resist from buying credits for my phone, my desire to get that graphics tablet, to eat, to buy stationaries, books, eye care products, accessories, paying for my domain (which isn’t due until April thank goodness), and other little temptations!

Can I do it? Will I do it?

Yes I’m KNOW I can! I can, really! I MAY be able to pull it off! …I should be able to…I think…

We’ll just have to wait and see!!

Oh dear lord, my sister’s birthday is in 3 days and I have only RM 5 to spend zomg!

>.>

<.<

*Sneaks into the RM 5 thrift shop and buys something costing less than RM 5*

Unexpected dream date…?

I’ve been in love before, having crushed on someone before, had my heart broken before, cheated on someone before, and even fallen out of love before. So you wouldn’t say it’s strange to dream of my past loves. But wouldn’t you say it’s strange when you start dreaming of guys who you’ve never thought you had any attraction to before?

I do. I’ve never thought of him as anything other than a friend. In fact…I don’t think I’ve ever thought of him as a friend at all. As a classmate maybe, but not as a friend or anything more than that. I don’t even know if he even has a girlfriend LOL! But I assume he does, just not in plain sight.

The thing is, I have a personal preference of only dating guys who aren’t Asian. Don’t bother asking me why because I’m going to tell you why. Asian guys…they’re too skinny for me. I am a big person and I like guys who are well, almost equal to me, meaning that I can at least hold him without fear of breaking his all-so-fragile bones. Believe me when I say this, it’s also weird to see myself walking down the road hand in hand with a small guy next to my bigness…that’s a weird scene, seriously.

Although I’m a single person, I don’t feel bad for myself at all for not having anyone with me. Because I know that there is someone waiting for me on the other side of the world…we may not be able to physically be in contact, but I’m sure, one day, he’ll come looking for me. In fact, I have been in and out of love with that certain person. Yes, I’m STILL in and out of love with him LOL. I just hope he knows that or I would be the one sitting at his wedding looking jealously at his bride and feeling suicidal.

But to tell you the truth, I’m sure if we were to meet in the far future, I would still be in love with him, I don’t really know if it’s love…perhaps it can be said as…affection maybe…if it’s love, it will come in due time. Just not now. Right now? Right now I’m all well with going into a new relationship with any one guy I like. As long as both he and I can create an interesting relationship where we don’t end up like those typical couples who get together and just silently sit somewhere together, not talking, but just showing body language that “hey man, we’re together, can’t you see us sitting together?” like…right…

So back to this other person, I’ve been dreaming of him lately which is really strange. The first time I saw him in my dreams was hmm…last Wednesday. Yes, not that long ago was it. It’s not the romantic kind of dream mind you. It was more of horror.

I was walking alone by myself one day when I saw a group of people in front of me going up the escalator, they saw me and waved. I knew those people actually, they’re a group of 4, in the same tutorial group as mine but different team. There was K, KR, SK, and JQ. I didn’t know where they were headed so I followed them up the escalator. At the top of the escalator, I found myself distracted by a gift shop so I decided not to follow them and browse the shop, maybe buy something.

While looking at the little items on show, I saw from the corner of my eyes that JQ seemed to have abandoned his group of friends and came strolling into the shop. I didn’t make my presence known and just continued looking. So looked I did until I finally finished looking at every single thing in the shop.

There was nothing I wanted to buy and decided to just leave. I didn’t turn around to see if JQ was still there, but I know he was. Turning to my right as I left the shop, I noticed a newspaper stand next to the gift shop and turned towards there…and in front of me, plastered to the newspaper stand was a dead woman!

Her eyes were open in death - dilated and with red veins crisscrossing her eyeballs - and her body was stuck to the newspaper stand with duct tape or something holding her body up. I froze as I saw the body. What drew me to the dead woman was her eyes and for some reason, I kept staring at her eyes. Apparently, I stared a bit too long and like a gust of wind, her memories, knowledge, mind, started rushing into my brain, I saw what she saw and so on. At the end, the woman’s mind said something gibberish but halfway through, someone stood in front of me and hugged me really tight…

My eye contact with the dead woman was broken. Hugging the person holding on to me, I cried with all the sorrow in the world. After a long moment, I looked up and saw that the person hugging me, was JQ…

To the right of me, a person stood looking at me, apparently, he was a detective. He looked at me with this look that said he found me curious and a mite interesting and ask “you looked into her eyes too long didn’t you?” I nodded to his question. “Well honey, I’m afraid to say this but, if you had looked any longer than 10 minutes, you would have been cursed…but thanks to this boy here, you were saved from being cursed by her…”

And that was when I woke up. After that, the dreams were more or less the same with him sometimes in it. Maybe it’s a sign of something bad to come or something good but I know for sure that it’s probably nothing romantic. It’s probably an omen or something LOL! What a way to find an omen, huh?

Well, I hope these dreams will come to an end sooner or later, then I can just continue to live in my own world, looking out at the horizon, waiting.

Forever wanting a Graphics Tablet…

Who wouldn’t want a graphics tablet?

What with all the really neat functions that come with it…

Actually, I want a graphics tablet because recently I have been taking an interest in creating comics and response have been good so far whenever I show off what I had done. So I was thinking of doing a mini series using my own hand-made comic. I would rather draw it using the computer rather than scan what I have drawn on paper into the computer…it’s just so bothersome and well…basically I’m lazy to transfer :D

So I’m wondering…where exactly can I buy this graphics tablet? Any recommendations? All recommendations appreciated! Thanks ^^!

The picture is of a Bamboo Fun (4 x 6) Tablet.

Dinner during the Malaysian General Election Day ‘08

What a day to elect your most favored party seeing as you can only vote once every few years for the representatives that would become your government, to decide nation and state decisions, to listen to your complaints, to change the current situation the country is in. Oh so much to mention. Basically, you’re voting to elect the people whose gonna boss you around choose who is going to make decisions on behalf of the people.

Sad to say, I wasn’t able to vote this round..I’m a month shy of 21. So what did I do? I went and celebrate my Grandmother’s birthday in the evening at a restaurant with the rest of the family and extended family :D I’ve got nothing to complain as long as there is food ;)

Theres decently delicious food, kind of decent restaurant, noisy but happy environment, lots of babies and kids to play with, lots of relatives to talk to. What more can I ask for? …a lounging area?

Lounging man

“If only this was a beach and not a noisy restaurant…”

Woah…I didn’t know they have lounging services to go with food and atmosphere…hand me one of them lounging chairs won’tcha? Oh wait…what’s there to the right?

EnR2

“Aiyoh…opposition di di nya! (Aiyoh…the opposition keeps winning!)”

Oh chiu…and here I thought I would get to enjoy the “lounging services” as well. What a kill joy! Who watches the news when there are good food, huh?! And to my understanding…that’s the restaurant owner there lounging.

EnR3

“So what’s the result huh?”

EnR4

“What’re you all watching?”

EnR5

“Yao pai dang… (still got a long wait…)”

EnR6

“Pay attention to me! Not to the TV!”

A supposedly crowded restaurant with people sitting around enjoying the food and each others’ company has turned out to be a cinema for watching the election results. However, as the next dish was served, the people gradually went back to their seats and eat…

EnR6

“Mmm…yum!! Later only go watch again…”

When I did an imaginary interview with the people asking their opinions on this year’s election:

EnR10

“I’m on camera! Cheese!!”

EnR15

“Errr…no comments…!”

EnR13

BLEEEEEEEEEEEH!!”

EnR13

“Huhuhuhu…do’h…”

EnR16

HEY! Can’t you see I’m eating this HUGE peach of youth?!”

EnR14

“Hey ma! We’re on camera! I wanna say hi to my family, my friends, my…”

Oh well…I guess food are the only things on their mind at the moment and also the camera that is…LOL. Anyway, it seems BN has taken a HUGE loss this time around. Just goes to show how dissatisfied Malaysians are with their lack of promises and the way they are handling things. If things continue to stay the way it is before…BN, I doubt anyone would be able to save your asses in the next election.

Other than the fact that BN got their butts whooped by the opposition parties, I had a great time having dinner at the restaurant while they worried about their jobs.

P.S.: Post written on the 8th of March 2008 but posted on the 9th of March 2008 seeing as the writer only got home from the restaurant at night and went to bed.
