A new start.

It is really been a very very veeery long time since I updated this blog. To refresh my memory, this blog initially was created so that I could keep my thought "saved" and also if appropriate, giving people some hints into myself, as a person.

It used to keep emotional thoughts, philosophical thoughts, educational thoughts and some rants that I wanted to share (like duh).  However, now that I am back again, I would like to make a new start. Just to update those who doesn't know, I am continue-ing my studies as a postgrad dip student in Psychology and not just that, I have 2 papers on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - which in my undergraduate year it's a field that I didn't wanted even step in because I initially thought it's plain boring and impractical! What does taking these ABA papers gonna do with my starting anew motive? Because of the contradictory thoughts and feeling I had when taking these papers together with Critical Qualitative Research - which put subjectivity as the core as oppose to ABA which supported being objectivity as core. Also, like what I mentioned, in psychology, I used to only believe that thoughts and as as feeling is important as it reflect and will to a certain extent influence of behavior. So how can we learn  a new behavior by merely applying classical conditioning or operant conditioning if we are reluctant to do so?

Interestingly, I see both side have their rationale and thought to myself, can someone really survive believing in both camp of thoughts? This is the reason why I started this again. To serve as a journal writing purposes to me. Hopefully at some point, this blog will turn from a personal reflection to a public professional reflection on psychology.

That's all for now, going to darling now! <3 p="">
