Catch-ups

Right. Time to do some catch-ups after neglecting this blog for soo long. But, yet i couldn't think of anything to write..
hmm.. how about topic on our brain system? Ever wonder how our brain functions when it comes to deciding stuff?
Dual-process theory - system 1 (implicit & automatic), system 2 (explicit and controlled). In short,
eg : Your drive (stepping on brakes, accelerator, switching gear) almost without any effort / solving simple maths like 2+2 =? and etc. -system 1
and system 2? eg: solving complicated maths problem, or trying to make an effort to make yourself do something.
Now, the interesting thing is that both these systems are kind of separate yet works co-operatively with each other. When one is face with simple questions, immediate answers came up from system 1. When one is face with difficult or complicated questions in which system 1 could not come up with the answer, it passes on to system 2 where your rational mind will search through our entire brain for the answer, and if there is none, smartly, it'll came up with another streak of linked questions but much simpler to answer and passes it back to system 1 where system 1 will reflect the immediate answer. How cool is that? Let's see.
Q: Do you love him/her? -too complicated for system 1 so you passes on to system 2 where it directs to a simpler set of questions.
   --> Do you like to be with him/her? would you like to live with him/her? and etc.. and throw it back to system 1 where you could answer. So if you answer yes, your brain will function as, 'I like to be with this person, I like to live with this person THUS i must love him/her.' See? Quite amazing huh?
System 1 is like your pre-set belief system pre-programmed at will by your system 2. It's automatic, easy to access and deep rooted. But can you change it? Can you re-programm it or even ask it to hold on a sec? The answer is Yes, you can, But at WILL. Your system 2 is like your WILL, by calling it up, it grants you the power to change your beliefs, think deeper, analyze situations and etc BUT it has much smaller memory capacity and works much slower compare to system 1. Now, so far of reading, strikes anything to you yet? Haha. If yes, try google it on 'dual-process theory' or, simpler, buy this book, best-seller and worths every penny in your wallet. LOL

time to put up some determination

I just realize i included that i need to blog at least 10 meaningful post for myself as one of my 2011 resolutions, and yet i have not make any progress..
right, so i should tell myself to start... real soon.. LOL :P

Confusion

Confusion.. I do agree the world is built more on grey than white and black add together.. There's no total absoluteness.. but being in which gradient of grey does matter,right? If you're dealing good, the metallic grey is your color, but if you don't, you got yourself caught up in the messed and lost, you got the dull grey...

I'm no where in both...because I don't even realize i'm in grey till now..

It means... yet meant not..

This meant not to be read, for it serves only to soothe my heartache.
This meant not to be understand, for it serves no knowledge to others.
But this meant to be feel, with an open-heart by those who love...
And the prelude of the melody goes..

If so are said, time is an antitode, then why do time kill us both?
If so are said, time is parallel, then why can not we see the future?
Is this happening too late, that we lost the time to survive?
Is this happening too early, that we lost the time to fight?

Why do i see myself in your eyes, yet it filled with doubt?
Why do i feel your heart beating, yet it filled with fear?
Shall i soothe you with comfort, to clear your doubts?
Shall i hug with you love, to fight away your fear?

For now, stand beside me just to be closed to me,
For now, talk to me just to filled my brain about you,
For now, blow me kisses just to say you care for me,
And for all, hold on to me just because you love me.

真的？

如果我生命是为了你，那么我的生命泉源就一定在你身上，
可我不知道如何找到你，更不知道如何去辨认你，
对你尽有的回忆，总是随着时间让它变得模糊，
甚至开始怀疑‘你’真的存在吗？
想了想，想了又想，我依然相信那回忆不只是回忆，
我相信世上的某个角落，你一定存在，并且也拥有与我同样的思念与渴望。。。

A trip to heaven...

Well.. yeah.. i know Sabah isn't any kind of heaven, not even close... but to me, having to have the time to went there, spent a day with the breezing of the sea is heaven.. I can't miss enough those air i breath there... so lay-back and slow.. i love it.. a place which is not too busy..
