Perception of Time

It is said that time flies when you are enjoying it. I beg to differ.

I visited a good friend in Malaysia over the past weekend, and while I was only in Kluang for 2 days, it felt like a week or so!

The next day, which is today, I was at work and it was a pretty slow day, yet time passes pretty quickly.

I wonder why.

Then again, there are good times which seems to just zoom by, eg, my 4-month student exchange in Wisconsin, my 4-year uni life, and my entire childhood. There are also bad times which zoooomed by as well, eg. my 2-year National Service, and a 4-month ordeal period in a past project.

I guess our perception of time is always changing, and it depends on the state of mind that we are in when we recall our memories.

Perceptions are deceiving, and reading my past blogs, it never fails to amaze me how I had perceived things in the past, how I am perceiving things now, and how I perceive my future perceptions in the near future.

Which ultimately leads me to this temporary conclusion; why perceive? Experience life and try to get intimate with our emotions. Emotions don't lie; at least until our perception changes again..

* This is a meaningless blog entry. Or at least this is how I perceive it @17 Jan 2011.

**I'm writing this blog anyway cos I believe I will perceive it as somewhat interesting or meaningful in the future...
