Going throughbthe chapters on Pyschology read about self fulfilling prohecy. That's when one expects a future utcome and acts to increase the likelihood that it will occur.. This is somewhat linked to motivationwhen we perceived an outcome and acts to achieve it. Pyschos ourselves we call that. Humans tend to form positive impressions in good mood attaching it to schemas which are susceptible to err.. such schemas help us to develop expectatons about how others will behave and plan our interactions more easily.

Yesterday me and my friends were chatting on C, a smoker in our group, she claims that she had stopped smoking and gained 1 kg as a result. Despite our advice that smoking cause undesirable results she refuse to accept it and held on to her believe that smoking helps her to control her weight. That is actually cognitive disonance to begin with , she had tried to add additional cognitions that smoking helps in weight controlling and the fact that she is reducing in numbers and will quit eventually.

A conformity test conducted showed that people succumb to unanimity of group though they disagree with their ideas totally..the factors triggering this phenomenon are the status of the group, situation-publicly or prvately and the unanimity of the group pronouncing pressure.

Attractions is closely tied to proximity and mere exposure, the reason why people tend to develop feelings at workplace like for my instance. Proximity explains the high probability that human become friendliest to their neighbours and mere exposure is the repeated exposure to any stimulis that increases our liking. Familiarising can evoke positive feelings especially if the first impression is positive. Other factors like similarity and physical attraciveness are not neglected either.

Yesterday was J's b'dae, least expected was that H was not acting out of the norm despite the remarks i passed on her previously. T, my old flame joined us for the steamboat and soon C, his rumoured target came. C did not eat much as she was on diet. Ironically she had pratas for breakfast and nasi lemak for lunch!!! High cholesterol how not to grow fat and she blames it on not smoking! T actully msg me to meet him first then go to marina bay together but i was too engrossed in the book on the train and failed to notice the msg. I reached there about the same time as H we waited at the bus stop and on our way, we met this woman who followed us while trying to persuade us to patronise her steamboat shop. We ignored her after one said he was tricked to that shop once and realise the food was not fresh. We settled down soon after T came and took a bus to a shop next to Marina Mall. After C came we strolled to the esplanade and river Hongbao where we took pictures across field that was supposed to be out of bounds. We walked up the stairs leading to the expressway and after much pains manage to reach the river Angbao. J went there to have his portraits drawn and paid an astonishing 80SGD for a nothing much portrait. H and C had their fortunes told by a quack i supposed both were asked to alter their names. C was unconvinced because her parents had her name approved by professionals. She was advised to wear more red clothes to improve her love luck which was hindered by the curbing of elements presented in her name. H one was pretty accurate saying that she was popular but her relations will suffer setbacks. T bought a stamp at 15SGD without the ink pad and proper box. I merely spend 18SGD or less in Beijing for a marble one with ink pad and proper box. His choice le..

I was mesmerised by the paintings on bambo shoots, peony, horses and plums...Wanted to buy one and hang it at home had no money on hand. Even my cab fare had to be borrowed from J.. I had to share the cab with T and on the way home it was pretty quiet initially and i daringly broke the silence by talking about school stuff. Not a perfect start but at least there is improvement with the shy and stigmatic girl I used to be. Insecurities absconding, embarrassment fading...Pyschology defintiely assisted in my understanding of own behavior and how i could work to improve on it.
