Post-processing
Was doing Post-processing (PP) on my Batam photos when a thought strike me causing a dilemma within.
Version 2.1
this is after much Post-processing, tweaking the contrast (that increased the brightness of the photo), saturation of the colours Green and Blue that brings out the blueness of the boat and the skies, the green to bring out the sea.
“Originally” (or maybe not that originally, will explain that later) its like this:
Interviewed
Went for an interview at a recruitment agency. Came out leaving me in deep thoughts. In a positive way.
We conversed over the phone, I passed the phone interview. Got off the phone, evaluated the offer while on the way down to pick up the information and present myself.
Figured out the job scope was very narrow. Its contract-based (really short) and its something that I don’t see myself excelling or have a prospect in.
Arrived, chatted a little with the HR person, and shared my thoughts and came to a mutual conclusion.
Synthetic Happiness
Saw this video on Ted.com, titled: “Why are we happy”.
My conclusion?
We tend to be happier when we are not given too much liberty of choices, or even room to change our mind AFTER we made the choice.
As always, make your decision and march on!
1 of the comments indicated: “I suspect much of Gilbert’s conceptual framework is designed to fit his preconceptions. No hypothesis testing, little critical analysis etc. He knows what he’s looking for and by Jove he’s gonna find it. ”
Heres the video for your ingestion. He speaks real fast, so please do not watch the video if you already have a headache.
Cheers!

Food for thought (literally)
Came upon the article “Food for thought that’ll serve dieters well” the other day, and they came up with a comic version of it soon after.
Did you know that
“.. in an unusual study which demonstrates that merely thinking about food, without actually seeing, touching, smelling, tasting it, can help sate hunger through a process called habituation”
