The unconscious mind, in this context, MY unconscious mind, contains a great amount of mysteries. Some of them manifest and reveal themselves to me through dreams. Dreams these days have mostly taken place in Australia instead of Malaysia, though that's natural given how long I've spent here. No strange pattern with them though. So not much of a mystery really.
But sleep is not the only time when certain sights or sounds can suddenly come to me. Well, mostly sounds. Hallucinating? Nahh. I'd say it's part of those microsleep (Wiki it if you have never heard of it) episodes. You know, when the mind is really tired and I half doze off, I tend to hear very random things. Like someone calling my name despite the person being several rooms / houses away for example. The awkward moment is when I answer them. =.=
And trust me, exam periods are times of reduced sleep. XD
Answering some call that didn't happen when I'm alone in my room is weird enough. It's even weirder when I answer something very random in the middle of several people. Or type random things in a report when I'm extremely tired while doing it. Sigh... what tiredness can do to you.
Note: Of course I proofread all of my reports before submitting them, so as far as I know, there has been no untoward incidents regarding microsleep as far as reports are concerned. LOL.
This weekend...
I will get some real rest. A proper rest.

"HISHAM!!!! I MISS U!!!!!!"
Imagine my utter surprise when I saw that message on MSN when someone using the email "pangestu.d@gmail.com" added me. It's an obvious giveaway from the username that it... *should* be my high school friend but what's with the message? O.o it looked so dodgy to me.
(Note: Hisham was the name I went by during high school.)
Though after 1 minute of chatting on MSN it's obvious it's really her, one of my closest girl (space) friends in high school. Remember my previous post talking about "learning from others' experiences"...?
Well guess what. More experiences to learn from. =.=
Sigh...
That's why I said, not gonna give a damn until I get my first real job, w00t.

Some break out of that cocoon sooner, some later. Some learn a lot from their own experiences. Some, like myself, combine their own with that of others, to maximise the amount of learning possible. Others seemingly learn nothing.
Haha, some of my previous posts *might* have sounded like there's something in the past that I can't get over. Let's just say...
OF COURSE I've long been over any of them. It's just the strength of my memory (which seems to be focused at the wrong things at times) bringing them up for me to reflect and analyse what I've learned from all that. Then comparing it to other things that have been happening this year and see what I can conclude.
Lots and lots of stories this year, some funny, some sad, many interesting. All informative.
This year I finalised my journey outta that certain cocoon. That doesn't stop here, though. Ancora Imparo. I'm still learning.
Heh, 5 years ago, a spur-of-the-moment decision changed things for the next 1 year. The way things are today is a greatly satisfying proof to me that I've put the 5 years of learning to good use. =)

Yan Yan asked me for help regarding a certain article that can be obtained from the Australian Law Journal but she can't find it there in the UK.
So I asked a friend of mine doing Law here in my uni. Let's call him 'R'. =P
After a few days, I asked 'R' again if he could help. Then he said yes, so I gave him the details on the article.
2 days later, and still no results. I asked him which library electronic database he used. 10 minutes later, I found the article. =.= Ini macam punya law student...

The last one week, I've seen, heard and dreamt so many things associated with home.
Upon finally replacing my printer cartridge, the first few photos I printed were those of people back home.
Well, apart from other recent photos hehe.
Then one night (or rather, early morning) I had not one dream, but a series of dreams all of which involved home.
Hours after I woke up, I got a Facebook message from my mum asking me to take a look at the latest album she put up on Facebook (yes my parents are VERY technologically savvy). Ahhh, a family gathering took place last night, one which included an uncle whom we've rarely got the chance to meet up with. And I'm not there... perhaps that's what the dream was telling me? Haha.
Then came a few more random things... can't remember most of it. But I remember another funny one just an hour ago. Cycled outside the house, saw a black Honda Jazz of the previous generation and thought "that reminds me so much of Kian Guan's car". Then I saw, of all cars, a Proton Wira. =.=
Am I really starting to get homesick? I don't believe it. But... one thing's for sure, I don't mind going back to the first day I came here for a multitude of reasons.
Still, it's never too late to change.
11 days to FYP Final Report and Research Paper due date. 20 days to Advanced Dynamics exam, 28 days to Systems Integrity and Maintenance, 34 days to Industrial Noise and Control.

"If people thought that way many years ago, my father wouldn't have been born. My mother wouldn't have been born. And I wouldn't be here."
How I love that line XD
