Trypophobia... or however people really spell it

Trypophobia.. an irrational fear and disgust of a cluster of holes. If you don't know what I'm talking about, type trypophobia on google images and voila. An animalistic reaction that affects the senses, most likely to protect oneself from danger, as they resemble dangerous images seen in nature, like a beehive. Well I stupidly have this phobia, and the sick and twisted thing about it is, I actually make an effort to google these images and videos and look at them over and over again. Bizarre! A bit masochistic, with minor OCD tendencies? It makes me itch just thinking about them. Antoine has the same phobia. So why do some people have it and some people don't? What does it psychologically mean? And more importantly, can anyone recommend a real cure?! Pfft!!

New addition to my bucket list!

Hunting down the best cakes in the world, just to say if I agreed with CNN's article (or not):

Latest Update

So it has been a busy few months for us, hence the lack of updates on this blog.

Adamian was born on Hari Raya Haji 24 Sept 2015 at 5.43pm weighing 3.99kg and 51cm. Alhamdullillah all went well.

This is Adamian's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ1A7FrA8_5FBpANT89kwzQ

And this is Ayden's YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ7yNZyXiBT_UBU3yemCEcQ

We moved to a new house, Ayden moved to a new school, I got a job and the boys have a new nanny. My parents were here from October to early January (too short!) and I'm still trying to balance work and family life.

Hopefully this blog will be updated more so now that we're more settled. :)

BRF

There are two kinds of females. Those that have a neutral resting face. And those that have a... bitchy resting face. BRF in short. Sadly this is a real phenomenon. I just read this article on CNN (http://edition.cnn.com/2016/02/03/health/resting-bitch-face-research-irpt/) and it reported that scientists can now use a face-reading software to detect underlying emotions. Apparently, those who have the BRF would find it more difficult to hide these emotions, compared to those who have a neutral resting face.

I HAVE THIS BRF. All my life I've been asked to smile more by teachers, relatives, etc. People tell me I look pissed or something when I'm driving on the road when really I'm just listening to some music and minding my own business. People always ask me, 'What's wrong?' but honestly in my mind at those points in time, I'm in an ok mood. Not mad. Not sad. Just neutral. LOL. And this is the classic all time favourite saying 'OMG when I first met you I thought you were a total bitch. But actually, you're cool.'.

So now, when I see people who have a BRF (male or female), I just figure now that it's just their face. Nothing personal. LOL. Dear girls who have the BRFs - I feel ya!

If you have a BRF, you would find these points so TRUE:
