Trip to Spain (1st day, Valencia)

Valencia is the capital of the autonomous community of Valencia and its province.

It is the third largest city in Spain. Well, The city contains a dense monumental heritage including the Lonja de la Seda [erm...World Heritage Site since 1996], but its landmark is undoubtedly the City of Arts and Sciences an avant-garde and futuristic museum complex, that is why I AM HERE!

Arriving at Valencia around 8am in the moring, i got myself a deep breathe. I flashed out my camera (My S5...lol.) and i'm ready to go for a tour around the city. With the aid of Daniel, we managed to set into cabs and proceed to the most famous place in Valencia (Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias).

The Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (Spanish)
or City of Arts and Sciences

is an ensemble of five areas in the dry riverbed of the now-diverted River Turia in Spain. This freakin awsome building is designed by Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava in collaboration with Félix Candela (well, i dunno who is this guy really..), and started in July 1996, it is an impressive example of contemporary architecture.

All right, i'll name each section of City of Arts and Sciences by parts:

This part is El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía

(A flamboyant opera and music palace with four halls)

This part is L'Hemisfèric (Imax Cinema, Planetarium and Laserium )

(i tell you what, i got all these photo by morning, that would be awesome if i can capture these buildings in the evening due to the night time and interior lighting, that's SICK!)

This is going no where, the other buildings near the site. (one thing, see the floor, so clean)

The photo of commercial building, i like the design, the windows are designed at an angle, and it gives sufficient sunlight into the building(office perhaps).

This part is L'Umbracle
(Walkway / Garden )

Another side of it.

Another angle for L'Hemisfèric
(Surrounded by attractive streams and pools of water, it and the surrounding areas of the "city" are typically used as a relaxing place to walk day or night)

The L'Hemisfèric is actually next to the El Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía

This is another angle for L'Umbracle


Going back...and i saw Carrefour. (I took this photo, so i display it ok? btw, the road in Valencia is apparently broader but malaysia, tell me which msian is willing to stop behind the white line...tell me! lolololololol)



My hotel room!...nice interior and lovely bed.


Plasma opposite my bed, what's the worst that i can say? lol.
(Special thanks to ARM LCC to cover all officer travel fees and accomodation)

Nice desk, enough for me to do my work.

I love the washroom, btw, that's not my underwear! lol

Next post up coming soon...

What is Hypnosis?

What is Hypnosis? When emerging from their first hypnotic trance, the commonest reaction is the subject claiming that they were not hypnotisedat all. This arises because of a misconception of what a hypnotic trance actually is. In hypnosis, the subject is still aware, but in an altered state of awareness. A trance is unique to the individual involved but there are several characteristics a hypnotic subject may experience. It would be very unusual for someone to experience all of these but a list of the commonest follows.

i. Sensory Awareness Feelings may be more forcible or numbed; sounds may seem louder, more sharp or quieter.

ii. Fixation - The subject becomes fascinated by an idea, an image, the sound of their heartbeat or breathing.

iii. Distortion of Time - It is common for an hour spent in hypnotic trance to seem much shorter, perhaps like just a few minutes.

iv. Logic - Rather like in the dreaming state, situations and environments which in the waking state would seem bizarre, appear entirely logical.

v. Amnesia - It is unusual for a subject to remember clearly what happened during the trance state. Recall is likely to be disordered and lacking in detail.

An Introduction to Hypnosis

A basic knowledge of hypnosis will greatly enhance the way you present your mind-reading illusions. Your choice of phrasing and use of language can turn a simple mechanical deception into a mind-blowing psychological illusion. With this in mind (no punintended!), we shall now examine a few basic concepts about hypnosis.

The Human Mind

The human mind is composed of two elements, the conscious and unconscious. The conscious mind is the voice in your head, the one that you actively think with. It is critical and analytical, sorting information by comparing and noticing differences.

The unconscious mind contains your memories and intellect; it contains your emotions and directs your behaviour. The human mind is not physically separated into two; the terms conscious and unconscious are merely models for the way your mind works.

You may have heard the term ‘left brain-right brain thinking’, at heory which supports the idea that the conscious and unconscious minds actually reside in two separate parts of the brain. This is not the case.

In truth, although the brain is divided into sections which perform different functions, these sections are not clearly defined and do not reside exclusively in either the conscious or unconscious. Depending upon the physical, emotional or mental tasks required of these sections at any one time, they may shift between unconscious and conscious control. For instance, repetitive tasksare easily handled by the unconscious, but any task which requires continuous assessment and re-adjustment to circumstances and surroundings might be better performed by the conscious mind.Thus, consciousness is not fixed - it is a spectrum of awareness which changes and shifts throughout the day.

The hypnotic state is a natural part of our conscious awareness that we often enter automatically. You are going to learn how to induce this state artificially with the use of hypnotic techniques.

I would like you to consider just how quickly you are able to tie your shoelaces. It's just a matter of seconds isn't it. Nowthink about each individual stage required to perform that simple task. If you had to describe to someone how to tie a shoelace it would take quite a long time since there are an amazing number of separate operations required.

I imagine you can remember first learning to tie a shoelace, the amount of hard concentration required. And yet now you do it soeasily! That's because when you first tried to tie a shoelace you were using your conscious mind. Eventually, the repetitive operation became imprinted in your unconscious mind and now it takes no effort or concentration at all. This simple example isan effective demonstration of the extraordinary power of unconscious thought.

In the Chevreul's Pendulum experiment, we learned the power of suggestion; the ability to implant behaviour in the unconscious mind of somebody. This entirely natural ability, which we each possess, isthe main component of performing hypnosis and it is a skill, as we shall learn later, that can be developed and enhanced by careful use of language.

Magic Tricks Revealed ?

Magic, sometimes known as sorcery, is a conceptual system that asserts human ability to control or predict the natural world (including events, objects, people, and physical phenomena) through mystical, paranormal or supernatural means. The term can also refer to the practices employed by a person asserting this ability, and to beliefs that explain various events and phenomena in such terms. In many cultures the concept of magic is under pressure from, and in competition with, scientific and religious conceptual systems.

The most important thing about magic is principle. Magic is not about talent, but sometimes magician is going for a talent say due to magic depends on your both hands. IT IS SKILL.

The worst thing is:
90% out of 100% of spectators - HOW DID YOU DO THAT?
20% out of the 90% of spectators - REVEALED IT!

Magic cant be revealed as you might ruin the fun, you might don't like to watch it, but someone else paying yes to the show.

So never ever reveal magic tricks or searching for magic tricks revealed page in the internet, it wont works..lol.
