deja vu (fr. already seen) is one of the recognised psychic phenomena that is associated with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). patients with this neurological disease would have a sense of familiarity with something that shouldn’t be familiar at all, prior to (also known as an aura) a seizure.
today i experienced an alternative form of psychic phenomenon. no, i don’t suffer from TLE. as i was driving to work, the car aircon smelt just like the one in my dad’s car in KL. with the scorching summer morning sun outside and 宇多田ヒカル on my iPod, i might as well be driving on jalan damansara en route to 1utama.
during coffee break, i had another one of this olfactory experience. on of my colleagues was making some coffee when i swore the room smelt like… err… my gym. no, not the changing room lah!
it’s really weird as these are in fact very much like auras in epilepsy, especially if i can’t find out the source of the bau. the gym was explained by the fact my colleague admitted to using deodorant (right guard + coffee aroma = gym coffee room). the best one i had was many years ago in the medical school library when i smelt airplane food. i really like airplane food! yum! if there was the hum of a rolls-royce jet engine next to the library window, i would have sworn i was on my way home for the summer break.
are these experiences trying to tell me something?
aura 1: balik malaysia lah oi.
aura 2: you have a belly like a fat bastard. go exercise before you have a coronary.
where are my gym shoes?
yey balik mesia balik mesia~~
maybe both aura 1 and 2?
i prefer the former!
but why the Radiohead’s cover?
Please. DO NOT diss Radiohead, lmsn. We’re good friends and all that, but I’d kill you if I have to, just to defend the greatest band on the planet!
lmsn: the brain is divided into areas if you remember your neuroanatomy. this was the closet to an abstract artistic impression of it (although the HTTT cover is actually just a ‘street’ map).
neon: ????????
saja je the neon tu. takde sebab nak emo pun, dia emo jugak.
hahahahaha
😆
parah…
saya percaya #2 memainkan peranan yg penting. 😉
p/s: sebenarnya jealous tengok all the delicious food yang u post kat blog ni.
kunci: i wish.
faley: eh?
siti: long time no food/masak entry la. probably time for another one soon!
#2 kot. #1 boleh tunggu lagi with all the gigs and concerts kat sane. next month slipknot di fort canning singapore. my oh my!
Wanted to ask the same thing lmsn did, but saw that the Q&A’s done.
Cool interpretation, Kudo. Brain segments.. hmmm..
The Neon, mengapa preemptive-defensive? Obsessed dgn Radiohead kah?
Kudo,
Your conscience’s saying both 1 and 2 lah. Come back to Malaysia (airplane food) and hit the Fitness outlets. After workout, kita pergi minum kopi.
Deja-vu solved.
I’m not Cypher.
asiaworks is one manipulative organisation. discuss.
am so pissed bro. will get your cd IA. habis stock last week. see ya soon.
abang saya memang mental. hihihi
kuds, klcc pun habis stok ni amacam????
ye ke? eh, don’t have to go out of your way lah. nampak angkat. tak nampak rilek aa.

I get deja vu a lot. I rather believe that I have psychic powers and am eligible to sign up at Xavier’s school for the gifted than believe any other reasonable medical reason:D
aura 1+ aura 2= aura 3= belly go home.

thishasnothing: err… that’s what my friend ash is trying to get for me? how did you know? psychic eh. 😆
ash: so kind! its ok, biasa la… 1st pressing is 5000. kalau habis, kena tunggu 2nd pressing. its ok. you guys have done your best. cheers!
Optimist-eque: Hahahahaha… Saya biggest Radio fan dalam dunia kalau kelar tangan saya keluar bir yang berasal dari pub di Oxford. Tapi judging from your nick, you pasti Radio fan jugak. Someone I know, perhaps?
The nick’s nothing much. I was listening to them when I wanted to post here back then. Radiohead’s good but I don’t have Oxford beer running through my veins.
We’ve never met, but a friend of yours suggested this site and some other stuff.
