The Sweet Scent Of A Memory


Did you know that smell is one of the most powerful senses? A smell can bring on a flood of memories, influence people's moods and even affect their work performance.

We've all experienced this: a familiar perfume, a family recipe, the scent of a bonfire—they all bring back barage of memories, whisking us away to re-live our past for a moment. 

When you first smell a new scent, you link it to an event, a person, a thing or even a moment. Your brain creates a link between the smell and a memory. 

So the next time you smell the same scent, it triggers a certain memory, mood or remind you of a person.

For example, the scent of freshly baked Famous Amos cookies reminds me of airports because that's where i first smelled it. Scent of freshly cut grass reminds me of Saturday morning in my old house because that's when they usually mow the lawn. It's amazing isn't it?

How does this happen?

The olfactory nerve (sense of smell) is located very close to the amygdala, the area of the brain that is connected to the experience of emotion as well as emotional memory. In addition, the olfactory nerve is very close to the hippocampus, which is associated with memory.

Smell is also an important element of attraction, especially when it comes to the feeling of chemistry that two people share. 

Scent can play a huge role in how attracted we are to someone. We’ve all walked by someone, smelled a whiff of cologne or perfume and immediately taken a second glance. 

Or what about when you’re flirting with that guy at the bar and he smells amazing? He just got more attractive.


Well i think someone who smells good is VERY attractive. 

Few guys I dated couldn't for the love of God remembered the shape of my eyes or the mole on my face but remembered how I smelled, the scent of my car or my house. 

"I still remember how you smell" or "That smell reminds me of you"

So, to make an impression on someone or to stick in someone's memory, wear perfume/cologne. You'll be perceived as more attractive and they'll always remember you when they smell the perfume/cologne you used.

Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands - Secluded Sanctuary For Introverts

 Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands - Introvert's Perfect Sanctuary Picture credit: https://strawberryparkresorts.com/ I'm always on the hunt for an introvert's getaway. As you can probably tell, I love misty mountain retreats. The tranquility, cool crisp air, breathtaking view, the seclusion are just 😍 perfect for introverting. I chanced upon Strawberry Park Resort while staying at SunLight Suite during my last trip to Cameron Highlands.  I was admiring the night view from Sunlight Suite's compound when I saw a well-lit area on the adjacent hill and remembered thinking to myself "Hmm, that looks like an expensive place....but I gotta check it out!" As it turns out, it wasn't that expensive considering the comfort, the facilities, and the invigorating environment.  Hotel Booking I booked through Agoda for a 3-day 2 nights stay, without breakfast for RM720+. Before my trip, I emailed the resort for booking confirmation, coz you know how sometimes A...

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata.

Squats Ke Arah Bontot Mantap

I love doing squats and all the variations of squats. Kalau pegi gym and tak buat senaman bontot, bukan Cik Panda lah namanya.  Bontot yang mantap tu kan aset. Ada orang yang bertuah dilahirkan semula jadi bontot memang mantap. Tu genetik. Tapi malangnya orang itu bukanlah ai. I'm not born with it, I build it.  Kadang-kadang kedengaran desiran angin nada-nada jealous makcik-makcik bawang sekalian. "Heh. Buat apa nak buat bontot besar-besar, squat bagai. Nak bagi jantan tengok la tu. Pakai ketat-ketat lepas tu tayang kat jantan-jantan. Nak mintak kena rogol ke apa?" Amboi mulut makcik-makcik bawang netizen sekarang ni memang puaka uols. Suka mendoakan yang jahat-jahat kat orang.  Kita buat bontot or whatever, tu untuk kepuasan diri sendiri. Untuk meningkatkan tahap keyakinan diri and it shows on your face and attitude when you have a healthy level of self-confidence.  Tak gitu uols. Yang takde confidence tu la yang duduk sebalik keyboard dan kutuk, ...
