barnum effect/ kidsfest

as what jonnyboy enlightened me
here's a brief explaination

Barnum Effect :
is a term that is used in psychology.
It is the tendency for people to accept very general or vague characterizations of themselves and take them to be accurate.
A good example of this can be seen when people believe what is said about them in psychometric tests, personality profiles, astrological predictions and so on.
This phenomenon is named after P. T. Barnum, who believed that a good circus had "a little something for everybody."
Even though the descriptions or descriptive terms used in the inventories, typologies, and tests can apply equally well to other people, some individuals are gullible enough to believe they are unique to themselves.
Of course, this is exactly what happens with the horoscope, palm reading, and crystal ball gazing (Referring to the comments of P.T. Barnum, 1810-1891, American showman, about public gullibility).

i was involved in the Kidsfest as usherer for the concert hall at ACS(barker road)
it's fun except of the long hours of standing at the door, explaining non-stop to the crowd, announceing and well hunger basically.
but im happy at least when i see happy kids and parents.

aryln from act3, lorraine,xinyi,addrianna,jeffrey from malaysia act3,taufik,grace,michael esch the pianist and duffllebags from canada,and many more that i cant recall the name at the moment.
