I Am Getting More Afraid With Psychology Class

My psychology class is getting scarier within each and every class. It's not haunted or something, but the lessons in class is giving me the creeps

Today, I learn about memory. To make it simple, our brain goes through several processes before an information can be stored in the long term memory (LTM). It goes through the short term memory first, and through some other process which I can't remember right now.

Then, my lecturer shows a video of a person that cannot process the memory into the LTM (his brain is damaged). The person in the video cannot even remember what he was doing yesterday. Every time his wife came into the room, to him, it is the first time. He even wrote a diary every minute, but when he look at his diary again, he says that he did it unconsciously. Somehow I can feel the same thing happening to me. I can't imagine if the same thing happen to me. I will not remember my friends, I can't even remember what I did yesterday...

Thanks to Allah that I am still fine and healthy by the time I write this post. It makes me become more thankful to Him for everything that He gives to me.

Some questions raised in my mind:
- Why do Allah creates a complicated process for our brain to store informations?
- Why do we have a short term memory and long term memory?
- How can the person with damaged brain continue his life?

Whatever the answer is, I believe that Allah knows better than I am

    - Why do we have a short term memory and long term memory?
    - How can the person with damaged brain continue his life?

    1)Xsemua information perlu disimpan dlm long term memory..kalo sume information di simpan dlm long term memory,susah ar nk recall mende yg betul2 penting..so, that's why ade short term memory. Kalo xde long term memory, human are forgetful.. So, dua2 short term memory and long term memory is useful.

    2) The person who have brain damage doesn't know that their brain are damaged. kalo memory lost pon boley lg survive, cam org dlm video tu. die xpasan pon otak die rosak.. huhu~

    soalan first: Allah lebih mengetahui..

Less Than A Month Left Berore Departure

If you had seen through all my post before, you will realized that seldom, if not, very little, I talked about going overseas I...never felt excited about going overseas It's only a coincidence that I received this scholarship to go to USA If I didn't get the scholarship, then I'm happy enough to study in our country Looking back, I never ever thought about my future for the long term I don't really care about it; as long as I continue living, I'll be delighted Did I really wanted to choose actuarial science? Yes, but only because my teacher recommended it and it is the only course that are listed in MARA's website that had something to do with Mathematics (besides engineering) I'm willingly enter the path that had in front of me, I don't give a damn about searching other hidden roads that may lead to better destination Yeah, that's me alright I remember in a talk about mind set, I learn that if we want to succeed, we need to have a vision...

I Am Not Going Back To United States

Just after the day I arrived, I got caught up in an accident. Now, just another week before going back to USA, I received a bad news. MARA told me that they had terminated my sponsorship. Yes, this is not a hoax. I received the letter two days ago, and now I decided to give a full story to you readers.
