Great – I’m a schizophrenic

I guess this pretty much explains why I have a tortured soul… and why those around me display frikkin’ odd and delusional behaviours…
Creativity is akin to insanity, say scientists who have been studying how the mind works.
Brain scans reveal striking similarities in the thought pathways of highly creative people and those with schizophrenia.
Both groups lack important receptors used to filter and direct thought.
It could be this uninhibited processing that allows creative people to “think outside the box”, say experts from Sweden’s Karolinska Institute.
In some people, it leads to mental illness.
But rather than a clear division, experts suspect a continuum, with some people having psychotic traits but few negative symptoms.

In the last month or two, Asahi has been advertising their new bottle design on billboards and such.

Awwwww… aren’t these 350ml Coca-Cola bottles cute? I guess they’re round because they’re supposed to resemble a football (Coca-Cola is an official sponsor).
Can’t wait till World Cup 2010 kick off in 2 weeks time! Eng-rrrrrrrr-land!

Pepsi BAOBAB

Yes, it is indeed that time again: a new season, a new flavoured drink from Pepsi. This summer, Pesi brings us Pepsi BAOBAB. Erm… the taste of the African tree? Argh… whatever. Tastes indescribably fruity, though…

Went on a Mos Burger binge after work tonight. Got the following and finished it all within 5 frikkin’ minutes (I pretty much inhaled it all): double patty thousand burger, seafood rice burger, chicken nuggets with BBQ sauce, fries and onion rings, chilli dip and a coke!
3 commentsBlack or white?

Damn… both the black and white upcoming iPhone 4G looks darn good. I like black cuz the whole thing looks flush (with the screen being black too) but at the same time, my last 2 iPhones were black therefore would be nice to get white for a change… hmmmmm…
