wednesday
was uneventful, basically go for psycho lecture, have my sandwich, go for tutorial..the topic for this week is on memory and it was interesting listening about various theories of how one can rmb things..sensory memory which gets stored into short term memory followed by long term memory..
tutor showed us this video of a guy who got herpes infection in his brain, resulting in loss of his autobiographical memory, and is also unable to store new memory.. which essentially means he cant remember stuff that happens to him 15minutes ago, he constantly feels like he has just woken up and nothing had happened to him in his 'sleep'..interesting thing is, he cant rmb his parents or his children, but he can rmb his wife [but he cant rmb the period of courtship nor can he rmb how he married his wife -__-]..so if his wife left him for like 10-20minutes, and he sees her again, he will hug her desperately and sob like a child because he felt that he hasnt seen his wife for AGES...eventually his wife left him [awwwwww] but he doesnt rmb that too :(
anyway what we remembered about ourselves is stored in a different memory compartment from the skills we learn [like swimming, cycling etc..] interesting..

thursday
had our nus exchange students group lunch again, this time with melissa's fren ben in it too..lunch was rosti and broccoli with minced pork and mushroom in oyster sauce..yum..oh there's strawberries too! i bought them on the way to school..
then we went borough market [AGAIN] and i got my turkish delights!! then me and ives got our groceries at the sainsbury and at the tesco at elephant and castle for the makings of dinner..
went back to my hall, raquel was still in!! put away our stuff, and went out with raquel to oxford circus again, since she wants to buy her dress and return something..then we shopped around while ives followed..i tink raquel can talk to everybody and anybody..and ives got raquel's name wrong alot of times..if i see how its spelt i wouldnt noe how to pronounce it, but when the person tells u her name verbally not once but twice u shuld be able to catch it..HMMMS..
met harper, then we all went back to my hall for dinner..i find harper a really nice guy, this is weird la, i can talk to him better than i talk to ives!! for your information, harper is on exchange to kings as well, and he's from new york..OH YEA, he has nintendo DS too!!!!! can you imagine how hyper me and raquel were when we heard he has DS? haha..me and raquel ended our day by watching ghostrider..its not a good show.. dont watch it..HAHA..
