Without me realising, I am once again caught in the trap of uncertainties. But to be honest , why the fear, if it is the truth, and if it is destined. Don't lose yourself in times like these, ying. The happiest and most courageous ones are those who are in pursuit of their dreams, and feared nothing :)

the dreamer and the follower

The dreamer and the follower had in each of their hands, a pot of gold.

The follower, amazed by the beauty of gold, stared at it all day and keep telling people of his pot of gold.

The dreamer, knowing that the gold being meaningless to him, threw away the pot of gold and went in search of his dreams. He saw the beauty of the world, which is definitely not limited to, only a pot of gold.

It's a short story that came to my mind before I close my eyes. simple as it is, but it is a reflection of what I feel. If asked, who am I? The dreamer or the follower?

Well, I once was both. Now, I hope I'm the dreamer. It might be a start, but let's not draw an end to it. :)

emotion tweaks

It is autumn in London, and winter is almost approaching as the sunny days becomes increasingly gloomy.

With winter around at the corner, it is inevitable that one might experience seasonal affective disorder, which is a mild type of depression that appears only in winter, with a high prevalence amongst English population (lol)

I used to be quite sceptical about this type of depression, and uses to think that the lack of sunshine is the ultimate cause of whatever unhappiness that occurs during winter. But realising that depression being merely circuit faulty between different neural networks in different regions of the brain offers an alternative view that perhaps, it is not a big thing after all. Maybe all we need is a decreased activation of amygdala :)

Till then, stay positive. When in a situation of panic, bear in mind that they are just emotion tweaks in the brain. :D

P.s. : I hope this is not my last winter here :p
