Men are like dogs.

    They bark as soon as they see other dogs even if that means they are in the trunk of the car and see other dogs walking on the sidewalk.

    Burwood Highway

    February 1, 2008

    As walk home from my routine of the Age picking and mid afternoon snack, a lady approached me from her car on winton street.

     ”Excuse me, do you know how I can get to Toorak Rd?”

    “Well yes,” I said “You just have to go down on Burwood Highway.”

     ”How do I ge to Burwood Hwy?”

    “From here, you turn left on Middleborough, then left on Burwood Hwy. If you go all the way down, you’ll be on Toorak Road.”

    “It’ll go down to Camberwell, right?”

    “Yuessss”

    “Oh my, I’ve driving around like an idiot,” she said, “Thank you so much!” :)

    HUH??

    It’s shocking to know, I AM familiar with the place.
    So how long do you get to know your city? After people gave you dirty look, giving you a funny accent, treat you like ‘you don’t understand english’, losing your wallet and valuables in this place, shock you with ugly broadband plans, and make sure you spend your money on THEM…

    Anyway,

    Welcome to Australia, Tina! [the initiation is done]

    Lying

    January 25, 2008

    lie
    By definition: it is a type of deception in the form of untruthful statement with the intention to deceive, of with the further intention to maintain a secret or reputation, or to avoid punishment. (wikipedia.org)

    Tonight, I’m superbly mad. I can’t sleep. It drives me uncomfortable and retreat to think of the awkwardness (that the person had done because what? I believe the person lied.)

    It is such a disappointment. I’m somehow feeling hateful towards the person whom I will condemn that he/she lied.

    So, I felt I’m going to do a self-help at google.com. The following is what I found to ease myself and eventually put myself asleep.

    Psychology on lying (in which I deliberately summarize from wikipedia again) -
    Lying is universal in the human development. Social psychology and development psychology are ‘used’ to make the lie believable.

    Assuming at the age 4 and 1/2 children are able to lie convincingly when they learn untruch can avoid punishments for misdeeds. Because their experiences are still prematures, they will sometimes tell extravagant lies not minding whether the statement is believable or not. They will learn throughout the years by watcing people lie and the result of their lies to develop a proper understanding. Habits will (hopefully) change into early adulthood.

    Moving on, there are different type of lies:

    bald-faced lie, lying by omission, lie-to-children,white lie, emergency lie, perjury, bluffing, misleading, dissembling, careful speaking, exaggeration, jocoselies.

    then I skip alot of shebangss,

    find this argument, pretty fonding.
     ’When one lies, one undermines trust in society’ [some philospher came with that, wikipedia.org]
    From experiences, it makes sense. I lied because I don’t trust.

    Tired of doing the research and recording the findings cause I thought who actually is going to read it. 

    I’ll finish off with the ’how to detect’ tips.

    How to detect lies (blifaloo.com)
    ++ Beware of the truth ++

    Body language
    - physical expression will be limited and stiff. Movements of hands, arms, and legs are toward their own body.

    - avoiding eye contact

    - hands touching face, throat, and mouth or touching/scartching the nose/behind ear. NOT LIKELY to touch his/her chest/heart with an open hand.

    Emotional gestures and Contradiction
    - timing and duration of emotional gestures are off normal pace. [delayed emotions, stays longer, or suddenly stop]

    - off timing or unmatch between emotions gestures/expressions and words. eg, I love it *while opening the gift* — *open the gift* *smile* thne ‘i love it!

    - expression are limited to mouth movements instead of the whole face. eg, real smiles will involve jaw/cheek movement, eyes and forhead push down.

    Interactions and Reactions
    - when guilty, person gets offensive. When innocent, person gets often get offensive.

    - a liar usually gets uncomfortable facing the questioner/accuser (may turn his head or body away)

    - a liar might unconsciously place objects between themselves and you.

    Verbal Context and Content
    - Liar will make use words of the question as the answer. eg, ‘Did you eat the last cookie?” - ‘No I did not eat the last cookie’

    - a statement with a contradiction is more likely to be truthful.

    - lying by making indirect statements, implying instead of denying

    - guilty person speak more. add unnecessary details as they are not comfortable with silene/pauses during conversation.

    - liar may leave out pronouns and speak in a monotonous tone. when truthful statement is made, the prounoun is emphasized more than the rest of the words in a statement.

    - words may be garbled/spoken softly, syntax and grammar may be off.

    Other signs of a lie:
    - sudden subject change will make innocent confused but liar more relaxed and follow willingly.

    - humor and sarcasm is used to avoid subject.

    I’ve got all the tips. Tomorrow, I’ll be sure to keep update to what’s going during the lie hunting and perhaps exercise the no-no of lying. lawl

    G’night and G’morning everyone.

    PS. I’m still upset about the fact that Heath Ledger is gone >.<

    A Fallen Star

    January 23, 2008

    The morning routine, I jog. I come home. I turn on my laptop. I turn on the TV. “Heath Ledger Found Dead” was some new movie. Some new movie I thought?? huh.

    In half hour, reality struck. There is only awee and jaw drop as I found out this Star REALLY died. He is gorgeous and talented. But How tragic, everything has to end this way.

    Heath

    At the age of 28, the Australian born actor, Heath Ledger, found dead in his New York Apartement tuesday, January 22, 2007 at 3.26pm.

    The reason of Heath’s death has not been confirmed. It is suspected to be drug-related as Heath was lying unconcious with scattering pills on his bed.

    He left a daugther, Matilda (2 years old), from former fiance Michelle Williams. 

    Some movies Heath has starred:
    10 things I hate about you
    Brokeback Mountain
    Knights Tale
    I’m not there
    Batman (I’m not sure of the title but it’s coming this Summer 200 8)

    What a shame T.T, what a waste life.

    If I’m not mistaken, I read some random fact 2 days ago about Heath Ledger on people.com
    It said that Jake Gyllenhall is Mathilda’s godfather. 

    Now at least, we know that the daughter is at good hand and will have a father figure.

    Rest In Peace - Heath Ledger
