Community Mental Health

Problem Solving Activity:

Individual A : Does not know how to inform the parents about failing his/her examinations.

Individual B: Suggest ways to help A to solve his/ her problem.

This is our task after lecture. So here goes the act...

Charis: So what is your problem?

Kar Yee:I failed all my papers and I do not know how to tell my mother.

And my mother works on auto-pilot. I want to stay alive!

Charis: Ok...Why did you fail?

Kar Yee: I don't know. My lectures failed me, go ask them lar.

Charis: What do you mean you don't know?!

Is it because you didn't study enough?

Did you concentrate? Is there any distraction.

Kar Yee: I did study and concentrate. There was no distraction.

Can I change my problem solver?

She is scolding me and is very scary.

Charis: No! Ok, why do you think you fail?

Kar Yee: Because I am stupid...

Charis: ... Ok! I found you a solution.

1. You should go down to the Psychology department and look for your lecture.
2. Ask your lecture for the IQ test and take it.
3. After you obtain your results; make sure it says your stupid, then ask your lecture to verify the results.
4. Go to your mother. Tell her that you've failed all your subjects and not to go on auto-pilot first.
5. Show your mother the results of your IQ test and tell her, 'I fail because I am stupid,'.

Kar Yee: Then tell her is because of her gens too!

Of, course this is all a joke! Kar Yee a.k.a Curry (Dr. Priya called her) started it first so I just went along. This is our real solution...

Kar Yee: Because I didn't study enough.

Charis: Ok...

1. You should tell your mother before she discovers it from the letter box.
2. Tell her not to go auto-pilot first and listen to your explanations.
3. Tell her that you are very sorry and didn't mean to disappoint her. Say that its your fault for not studying enough for all your papers.
4. Promise her that you will definitely do better next time. If you still fail, then she can go on auto-pilot. You just endure it then cause its your fault!
5. If she refused to take your explanations, tell her that your at least better than your brother. At least you didn't fake your results or lie about it!

Kar Yee: Put the blame and auto-pilot on my brother, right? Hahahaha...

Charis: Yes!

This part is real! The good thing is Ms. Elaine did not ask us to tell her the solution instead she just let it go cause she wants us to feel the dilemma and pressure of the situation. If she does, gosh... I'm so gonna get it!

Random section:

Today Caroline (Aliza), Kar Yee and me, later join by Kelvin, communicated in broken English. We did this on Twitter too...

e.g.

1. Food, lets go buy.
2. What getting you?
3. Banana cake, me getting.
4. Something didn't understand you.
5. Betul, sakit (trans: Correct, pain). (funny reply: Betul tak sakit; trans: Correct not pain)

Do Not Smoke If You Want Sons

Early in the morning, this is what I found while pee-ing! Yup, you read right. I was pee-ing in the toilet cubical while reading it. I think you can see apartment renting flayers everywhere in college including toilets!

I tried really hard not to burst out laughing while pee-ing! So after I was done, just before opening the door, I shouted to Kar Yee; I know she was already out. I told her that I found something funny behind the door. And she was like having the 'Are you ok?' look.... but she entered anyway. Within few seconds, loud hahahah was heard! Then I saw Farrah and Vicky... I told them to check it out... They were all laughing including Aliza! hahahah... so funny...

Oppsss, I 4got, take a look at the picture below to find out!


Have you found it?! Read it again and again if you can't!

Have you found it now?! *hint- water heater*

Notice how water heater is spelled? hahahha.... I literary imagined the water hitting people! No wonder they haven't found anyone yet! hahaha..May be its the main reason why the previous owner move out (if there is one). Omg, I'm so mean!!!

Back to lecture (Developmental Psych)... Our topic for today is Prenatal Development and Birth! Interesting right?! This is what I remembered,

1. When the sperm fertilize the ovum on the day it is released by the ovary, higher chances you will get a boy.
   
2. Female averagely release 400 eggs in their lifetime.
3. Strong sperms are those that swim like a figure of 8; the tail.
4. Doctors actually schedule labour appointments based on both his personal or work schedule. e.g. If the doctor have a golf appointment on the day of your labour, he would ask you to come either after his golf time or tomorrow!
5. Unlike what you watched on tv/movies (starts screaming in pain and rush to the hospital) after the water breaks, in reality the pregnant women actually still has lots of time to do other stuffs and of course while their are experiencing contractions. e.g. Kourtney Kardashian was actually doing laundry, put on make up and slow pack after her water broke.
6. If the foetus's head does not turn downwards (towards the cervix opening), the doctor actually put their hand into the womb and help push the foetus out! But if the doctor is very experienced, he or she would know how to turn the foetus into the right position.
7. There are five different types of non-medical labour techniques to reduce pain:water birth, massage, acupuncture, hypnosis and music therapy.
8. Through caesarean delivery, the pregnant woman would be awake. Only the upper lower body would be numb but definitely awake while your baby is being delivered.
9. If you smoke excessively, there is a higher chance that you will get a girl instead of a boy (IMPORTANT ATTENTION TO ALL MALE).Reason: Ladies, your husband can't blame you if all your children are female because malesare the ones that carry the XY chromosome. SO if their sperm is weak, your XX chromosome would be more dominant than their XY chromosome.
10. Husbands are allow in the delivery room with his camera or video equipments. He is also allow to cut the umbilical cord (where foetus gets nutrients from and excrete through the mother). Ms. Elaine described it in a way it sounded like an opening ceremony and thats what first came into my mind. And so I like to name this Opening ceremony!

I would love to show the video on how the cervix actually dilates and the birth of the foetus that Ms. Elaine showed us but can't find that video. Sorry, but I don't think you wanna watch it... You will somehow feel the pain trust me... Those around me was moving a lot while watching the video!

P/S: I know this is random but Kar Yee, you should really try all the five methods! And I still can't believe you actually burn yourself while frying an egg! hahahah...

I Wanna Be a Project Alpha TV Star!

Hanging around crazy, blur or weird people have make my life filled with excitement. I have a friend; May, who is not only very blur but is also very clumsy and sometime naive. She would be just about anything you tell her, because she simply does not think too much about it. Once she went overnight camping, her friends told her to look out for a blue moon. They said that the blue moon only appears once. She got really excited and stayed up all night waiting for the blue moon to appear. When morning arrives, she told them that the blue moon did not appear and she waited all night but still didn’t see it. But everyone else told her they did! She kept asking where and when. Finally, everyone could not take it and burst out laughing. ‘May, do you know the idiom, ‘Once in a blue moon?’. At that moment, all she did was silently walked away while everyone was still laughing.

If you are constantly experiencing similar scenes or any other interesting and funny ones (charity events, your daily lifestyle and etc.) and would love to share it with everyone around the globe; when posting on facebook, tweeter and even blog, does not seem to be enough, then this will certainly capture your interest!

Opening Ceremony

It's been a long time since I argued with anyone about my opinion. The last time was during Malaysian Studies class. After a year plus, never knew that the person who brought this action back is Ian. In Community Mental Health lecture today, Ms Elaine asked us what would we do as a manager if one of our employees has a mental health problem history?

Isn't it obvious enough this is an opinion question?! So I answered 'Fire', from a no Psychology background individual while others said that they would hire a psychologist to understand the situation of the person. I agree with that, I never denied the fact that some companies may do that but but he should not just made a remark saying, 'It is not how society work, its just how you work! So don't say society,'. I don't mind him not agreeing with my opinion but he should listen to my justifications of why I think that is how the business people function. Then its up to him to acecpt of reject!

1. Business people would only think of the severity or damage that this person might cause to the company, not many manager who is actually concern of is this person fully recovered and is able to function in the workplace unless he/ she is actually productive.
2. Is the individual able to handle stress properly if the manager requires him complete a stressful task?
3. Moreover, anything could actually trigger the person and he/she might explode anytime, any where.

These are the reasons why I said most managers would actually fire instead of going through the process of hiring a psychologist just because of the one person. From their point of view, it may be a waste of resources, the most they would do is compensate the individual upon firing.

So angry!!!

Toki Wo Tomete

Hope you like it as much as I did! And tomorrow at 7 p.m Malaysia time, there would be trending party in Twitter host by oneTVXQ as it is their 30th single's release date. This morning at 2 a.m., 8tv played this video. I purposely stayed up to watch the video. It's great to see them appearing together! While watching this, I was thinking lots, like

1. If only the controversy did not took place
2. Is their relationship getting worst
3. Would they be able to celebrate their 6th anniversary (last year does not count as their 6th year, cause they weren't together as one, instead two subgroups in a group)
4. Would they really break up after 5 years
5. Would they stop singing Korean songs
6. Would they perform together as they once did

I really hope the time stopped at when they were promoting their 4th Korean album, Mirotic. Where they are together as one, they smile and hug and fill with happiness. Where the problem did not surface.
