Being depressed

Its so funny that around 70% of the patients i see in the clinic had at one point suffer from depression whether treated or not (not randomised controlled study ya). And there was a point in time that the local newspaper published an article on this country being a HAPPY PILL POPPER nation. GPs here would prescribe 'happy pills' just like how vitamins are being offered.

And, to be honest lately i have been in this similar mood as well. Depressed? Dunno.... Bored? Dunno..... Need a break from work? Definitely! I guess working for the last month for every single day (on calls most of the weekend including this coming weekend) did take a toll on my mood. I felt like going somewhere to chill out. To relax. To get myself off medical stuffs or even work.

Have tried not to think about work by working on beginner's card magic tricks but hm mm its not working.

So, i indulged myself in doing online shopping. My favourite past time whenever i am feeling low. What do i buy? Well...mainly man's toys... but in particular underwater photography equipments. Got myself a new strobe... and a focus light. Am just waiting to use them. Maybe this year end when i am back in Msia.
