It’s finally snowing! We were told that this was going to be Eindhoven’s warmest winter and not to expect any snow. What do you know! The three of us were super happy that it snowed!

Honestly speaking, I really think the sunlight is a huge ‘happiness’ factor! Last week, I only managed to catch abit of sun on Saturday. The rest of the week felt a little moody. We heard that countries higher up in the north rarely get to see the sun. As a result, many of them sink into depression.

Coming from Singapore, I never really did give much thought to the sun. To us, it was always there. However, to others, I think it might be really hard for them to be literally always in the dark. (no pun intended)

So the question is, how do we stop sinking into depression and jumpstart our ‘happy’ emotions?

I’ll tell you about this in my next post! Till then, go to my photos and have an eye feast!

This sounds almost too juvenile but its true! I just had my first day in school yesterday! (ok, it was in a foreign school… thats why.)

Lectures in TU/e are really different from those in Singapore. Opposed to having millions of students in an LT in Singapore, (ok, maybe a million is really an exaggeration) the lectures here are only about a class big! Okok… I’ve only attend ONE lecture. Maybe that’s why I haven’t seen how the other lectures are like yet.

Will be attending my SECOND lecture later. (The reason why im putting my lectures in strong font is because I want to let my friends in Singapore know the difference!!! P.S. I heard its even more slack in the UK… Sigh)

Here’s a lil snippet from my first lecture which I found to be really very interesting.

It’s going to be another imagination exercise which I think you will enjoy!

Imagine you have a brick in front of you. The brick is red, solid and similar to the types used to build walls. Now I want you to lift that brick up to the ceiling. (You might have to imagine yourself standing on a table to reach the ceiling) Next I want you to remove your hand from the brick.

What happens to the brick?

Statistics have shown that a majority of people will imagine the brick come crashing down. Only a minor few might imagine the brick floating in mid air. Interesting isnt it? Arent humans supposed to have a ‘vivid’ imagination? Why is it so many of us actually pictured the brick falling to the ground? Is it some sort of pre-conditioning? How accurate then is our pre-conditioning if we are also, at the very same time, preys of optical illusions?

That was my first lecture. Pretty deep huh? (Or at least its new to me)

Its been about a good 2 months since I last blogged I think. I think I’m going to take this oppotunity to blog abit since I’m in Holland and I’m going to be loaded with many many pictures! The pictures aren’t exactly superb but they tell a story.. a story of my life in Eindhoven!
