Broca's aphasia

Broca's aphasia. is defined as a language disorder attributed to damage in the frontal lobe of the brain.

it was discovered by and named after a French surgeon who noticed that some patients spoke in halting, ungrammatical speech following a stroke or accident (Broca, 1865)

these patients were typically limited to expressing themselves by stringing together simple words.

for example,

yes ... ah ... Monday err ...Dad and Peter ...I errr... tell you .... ahh ... you ....very ... hahaha...aiyo .... you hor ... very bad ... don't want... la ...


does it sound familiar to you? because, u and i, we SPEAK like this!

i realize that most of the Malaysian have minor symptoms of Broca's aphasia.

we were too used to ahh, err and lotsa pauses in our conversation. so when i came across this in my cognition text book, i felt that this is so funny, and decided to share!

well, im too bored of studying actually. im finding my way out. arrgghhhh...


and by the way, last night was a very funny night.

we were supposed to go yamcha at night. so i fetched one of my friends on my motorbike, while yong fetched ping with her motorbike. kent and others are waiting for us at the place.

so usually i ride very fast wan. while i was chatting with my friend, i drove by the place. i stopped at the mamak stall at the right corner of the shop lot. then both of us kept waiting. where are the rest ar? then we encountered some of other friends, some acquintance. and i was wondering, where's yong and ah kent they all?

we both were standing in front of the mamak stall, and looking for them. then i said, "isn't this the place? i couldn't be mistaken gua..."

then the other customer said:" mei mei ar, the place u mentioned is at the other end of this shop lot. not here la."

OMG it was damn embarrasing lo. then we quickly drove to the place, while yong they all were laughing and waiting for us. isshhh... i declare that im not from Jenjarom k? i don't know the place. i very innocent that i don't even go out yamcha at night. isshhh...

oh ya, yong told me something that is quite hilarious too. she said last Sunday, her sister went to play basketball with her friends. when she came back, she looked so surprised and yelled at her

"er jie, do u know that ying rou broke up with her bf d?"

then i was wondering. i barely talk to her sister wor. i could just recognize her and greet her when i met her. so yong asked her, stunningly.

"how u know?"

"neh, my friend is her cousin's friend's friends ma. her cousin saw in facebook. then she told her friends. her friends told her another friends. and then pass to me. so i know lo..."


wow. the power of facebook! i should really not underestimate it next time. the news spread from subang to jenjarom. and then she said

"er jie, actually a lot of people know about this d. she's XXX' s daughter ma. so u tell her, don't be sad la. she so pretty and young."

well, she left me speechless.

and then, yong's mother chimed into the conversation. she met both of us few times before.

"ah yong ar, u go tell ying rou la. she so beautiful. im so sure she can find a better wan. don't be so upset. ...."


all of us couldn't stop laughing after she told me. i officially prove my theory that, people in Jenjarom are too free to bother about their own stuffs, and they are extremely sensitive to gossips that are not even in their area. thumbs up!


okie, time's up. i shall go take a nap, and continue studying. Qun coming back tonight. hope we can go out again! yayyy!

the wonder 2!

i have this horrible experience this morning.

early in the morning, after helping Alice out for model shooting in Casa, i went to 25th floor to look for Letty. i woke her up and took something from her, and wanted to go college. i went into the lift, pressed P1, and some unexpected incident happened.

the lift moved down slowly till 20th floor. then it halted suddenly, and the lights turned off awhile. the lights on the button went off too. i was alone in the lift.

i knew definitely nobody can hear me if i scream. so i didn't do so. i didn't cry too, which im kinda amazed by myself. anyway, so i kept pressing the alarm button. everytime when im in the lift i always wonder when can i press the alarm button, and finally i have a chance! woww, dream fulfilled!

so right, i kept pressing, nobody came to help. i looked at my watch anxiously. it was already 2mins, but i felt like it has been a century. i kept praying, and maybe my prayers work. the door opened slightly finally. i quickly jumped out from the lift. and i guess the management people knew nothing about it. it was the longest two minutes i have in my life. damn it! it was so scary!


how if i fell down from 20th floor, straight away crashed by the lift, and die in a disgusting way?


how if i trapped in the lift for too long and i suffocate inside it?


would anyone care about it?


would anyone know about it?


it was the scariest thing i had. but for some reasons, i feel nothing. i think im kinda numb to things happened around me lately.

by the way, the number 2 brings me some fortune too!

after few days of skipping dinner, i felt that i lose some weight, which i had attempted for long time and it didn't work out. then last night when i go gym, i weight and realized that i lose 2KG! wow, 2kg in 5days! what an accomplishment! jess, don't roll ur eyes. i eat okie? just i don't eat much!

alice said my face looks sharper in the picture this morning. and i like it! yayyy! will try to buy more summer dress as i realize that i look good in it.


without any photoshop lo. sweet right? hahaha...


and i have a haircut this afternoon. spent me RM20. not bad lo...but i wish my hair can grow longer. my hair now is like medium short length. aikss, please grow longer! i wan some nice curls for my hair next year chinese new year. Yong has really long hair, and she looks good in it! come on hair, grow la longer...im so envy of her man.


okie enough for blogging. i should really concentrate in my cognition and stop mourning for my loss. tata...

i don't expect anything from you anymore.
no worries for giving me false hope.
i know. i understand. and i already accepted the fact.
i just hope that...
we are still friends.
not some strangers.
your ignorance make things worse.

hectic

just finish 4 days hosting the UIU delegates. im exhausted now.

saturday was the installation + alumni. i am...err finally the new members of Fayette House now. im in a mixed feeling that day. not too excited to get onboard, neither too depressed. helping to take pictures in alumni. Americans are friendly. well, a bit too much. they would keep talking to you and laughed at very small matter. wow, easy to please.


after installation.

i look kinda pale, and damn it! i have big eye bags! they are even bigger than my eyes! shoot!

sunday was the graduation. somehow the day was quite memorable. i couldn't stop thinking how would i look like in the robe when im graduating. i wanted to be in the summa cum laude list! i guess this indicates that i need to work very very hard for it, but not spending some nonsense time blogging here.

anyway, proceed. that day, to be frank. it was messed up. guess the PIC this year didn't plan properly ahead. certs are not done. the whole function delayed for 1 hour. registration counter was as messy as if it was refugee counter. many of them put the blame on Fayette House though it was not held by us. we were just helping. but the good thing is, we managed to have a free buffet lunch with the UIU delegates. i love the scenary up there! i could see Pavillion. man, never know that Pavillion looks so nice from that angle. not a big fan of architecture building, but thumbs up for the designer! the food looks appealing but err...it was just so-so.

monday, was the launching of international business. if the graduation was a mess, this was even worse. sorry if i have offended anyone.

as the event went on, all the problems pop out. nobody was beside the PA system all the time. common sense, our sucky college always have not-so-good PA system, after lotsa experiences of organizing events in college. mic was either too loud or too soft. no one was taking care of the lights. when should the light be turned on or off for slideshow presentation. performance kinda screw up, no CD after emcee introduced them. awkward silence was there throughout the event. the flow was quite jumpy. public speaking play kinda weird. no props, less music, don't understand the story. Dr. Steven is still the best lecturer for public speaking. the launching ceremony didn't go well as it should be.

however, big thumbs up given to communication club! great job for the "create change through culture" intercultural performance. the flow was good. great planning. lucille was still very excellent in doing all these things. i enjoyed the show. u people know why. "NOBODY" dance! muahahahahaha...

then finally today, err, i mean, just now. we had a dinner with the UIU delegates. and it would be the last day of our hosting. they are proceeding to KD and other SEGi campus soon. they bought us domino pizza! and we had lotsa fun! Mr Frazier said i looked like 12 years old girl in US. OMG im so flattered!


another note, i found my hidden talent. im so damn good in PR-ing! i could fake the smile throughout the whole event even i was scolded by some rude people. wow, i should have realized this long time ago!

Reborn

love, double of joy, accompanied by double of pain.


i think it's time for me to start a new life. to move on. yes i should do so. but why, the emptiness. the memory.


ponder over these 8months, i could only remember all those good days. yes we do have fight. yes we do have cold war. but, we managed to go through it. and i could only think of the nice things that we had gone through.


when the sparks isn't there, i declare the death or, termination of this relationship.


yes i still love you. don't feel burden. i won't do anything else. im not a stalker either.


i miss the pasar malam
i miss the restaurants that u have brought me to
i miss the movies we watched
i miss the 8months of days.


unfortunately, im not being a very good gf, and let the sparks die off just like that.


maybe, now this is way better. i guess the feeling will fade away eventually.


i am strong.

JESS LIM!

"Forget about your boyfriend, and meet me at the hotel room. you can bring your girlfriend, and meet me at the hotel room,"

OMG i feel like drinking alcohol now. like the feeling when i clear my mind, and getting very alert. now i know why people love alcohol. guess im an alcoholic either. maybe Saturday we will have a girl night, Jess, Chiausim and i. some alcohol will be damn good. hope the next day i won't have hang over.

Misconception

okie la, the title is abit down. but hey update first! i have done with my 2 presentations today. i was abit nervous, but i think overall it was okie. at least not that terrible lo. so YAYYYY! im excused from studying cognition tonight.

alright. misconception. it's a bit depressing i suggest you don't read it if you don't wana ruin you beautiful day.

sometimes, different people can have different misconception. i mean, yeah everyone has their own thoughts on how something looks like. but IMHO, keep all those to yourselves la. there are some particular somebody, could just spread whatever thoughts they think are right to the others, as if they are some religious priest.

embracing people that you loved by your misconception is defintely a mistake.

if you love them, accept them for who they are, and love them as usual. not to convert them into something that you think it's right.

dear whoever out there, please bear in mind that, everybody in this world has their right to choose to live on their lives. you have no right to intervene in their choices made. they had chosen. they have to be responsible. so, what's the big deal?

misconception itself is a monster. it portrays how fragile a person could be, and how self-centered the person can be. it also reveals how conservative you are, and that is truly saddening.

you will never get to learn new things
you are not moving together with the world
you are trapped in your peaceful little world
you have no idea how hurt it is
you will defintely lose some faith from the person.


hello. controlling is not a proper way to express your love.



i could not help to change misconception of some people, but i could not help to see my friend losing her usual charming grins on her face either.


finger crossed. take care my friend.




I miss you so much all of a sudden. Snowflake doesn't taste that nice without you. I hate you, But i Love you. there's only one person on this earth can make me cry my eyes out, and make me grin from ear to ear instantly. that's. YOU.

we have no choice.

stress

dear anyone, please drown me under the sea. i wana avoid all these craps.

damn, I'm feeling stress now.

2 presentations to go tomorrow.
2 finals coming.
notes for cognition haven started.
photography assignments don't seem up to my expectations.
design assignments. shit, worse. i have a feeling to redo everything. the logo, the sketches, the illustrators.

isshhh, coke is giving me ecstasy. very hyper, not in a good way though. body is hot. head is heavy. hope this is not a sign of sick again. i have already had enough. oh no, not that cramp! i don't wana have gastric again! hands trembling. head dizzy. Im crazy.

i hope i can sleep forever and ever. then i don't have to think of all the things that i have not done. and the stupid perfectionism in mine will not remind me of my flaws on the things that i have done.

oh my, this sem is just so great. shatter my illusion all the while. im not that great that i thought. sigh...



maybe...i should get some sleep and stop mumbling now.




wish me luck to survive for the semester. and finger crossed for A's please. really cannot afford to get a B now. sucky scholarship.
