Interesting Maths: Woman = Problems?

Do you enjoy Mathematics? Or are you good at solving Mathematic questions? I received the following Mathematic equation, maybe you'll be interested?


So how do you feel about the above Mathematic equation? Guys will probably laugh and clap their hands, vigourously nodding their heads? Hope you are not falling off from your chairs? Gals will probably be driven mad by the above equation?

Angry not, ladies... If the guys strongly agree with the above equation, aren't they admitting that they are stupid enough to court after problems? keke :P

If woman = problems, then man = ??? Suckers??? Suckers of woman's youth and time. [Note] Youth is something that cannot be bought with money.

In this case, who are the real problematic ones?

叶子的离开,是因为风的追求,还是树的不挽留?

第一听到这个故事,是透过FM93.3的“音乐故事”,听完故事后,不禁发现已热泪满眶。曦缘发的新贴--"Leaf departure is because of Wind pursuit... Or because Tree didn't ask her to stay?"再度让我想起了这个故事。同样的故事,不一样的语言,却同样地令人感动。然而,我依然较偏爱华文版本;浅白的文字、萧瑟的意境,令我感动不已。单单是标题,就已让人感到无限的感慨、无限的遗憾……

树的告白:
  会叫树的原因,是因为我擅长画水彩画,最爱画树,久而久之, 我的画作右下方索性以一棵树来代表我。

  高中三年交过五个女朋友,有一个女孩子,我很爱她,却迟迟不敢追, 她没有美丽的面孔,没有姣好的身材,没有撩人的魅力, 一个再平凡不过的女孩子。我喜欢她,真的真的很喜欢她,喜欢她的单纯, 她的直率,她的可爱,她的智障,她的脆弱。

  不追她的原因,也许是潜意识觉得平凡如她配不上我; 也许是因为怕在一起后,一切的好感都会消失; 也许是怕外人的指指点点伤害了她; 也许是觉得,她会是我的,不用急着为了她而放弃一切。 最后这个原因,让她陪了我三年,让她看着我和别的女孩子厮混了三年, 让她心痛了三年。

  她很想当一个好演员,但我却像一个严苛的导演。 我和第二个女朋友在厕所接吻,被她撞见, 她尴尬的笑笑说:“go on!”然后跑掉,第二天, 她眼睛肿得跟核桃一样,我故意不去猜想是谁让她哭成这样, 嘲笑了她一天,她在所有人都回家后,在教室哭了起来, 她不知道练球回来拿东西的我,看了她一个多小时。

  我的第四个女朋友,一直很不喜欢她,有次她们两个吵了起来, 我知道依她的个性不会去惹事,但我还是护着女朋友, 她被我吼了一下后,愣住,眼泪滑了下来,我无视她的眼泪, 陪女友走出教室,第二天,她依旧嘻嘻哈哈的和我开玩笑, 我知道她很难过,但她不会知道我的心不比她好受。 当我和第五个女朋友分手时,我约她出去玩,玩了一天,我对她说: “我有事要对你说。”她说:“真巧,我也有事要对你说。” “我和她分手了。”“我和他在一起了。”我知道“他”是谁, 他追她也有一阵子了,是个蛮可爱的男孩子,活泼有趣,充满了热情, 追她追得满城风雨。我不能表现自己的心痛,只能笑笑地恭喜她, 但当我回到家,心中的痛楚强烈得令我无法承受, 像有个千斤重的石头压在我胸口,我无法呼吸,想大叫却叫不出来, 眼泪竟然滑了下来,我掩面大哭,多少次, 我也看着她为了那个不愿承认的人掩面大哭。

毕业典礼时,我在手机上发现了一封简讯,这是十天前, 我掩面大哭时传来的,只是我一直没有去开过机。

  “叶子的离开,是因为风的追求,还是树的不挽留?”


叶子的告白:
  高中时,喜欢搜集叶子,why?因为我觉得, 一片叶子要离开它长期依赖的树,好勇敢哩!

  高中三年,我和一个男孩子很好,不算男女朋友那种好, 是好朋友那种好,但是,在他交第一个女朋友时, 我学会了一种不该有的感觉,吃醋,心中的酸, 不是一颗柠檬可以比喻,那就像是100颗臭酸的柠檬,酸到不行, 他们只在一起两个月,当他们分手,我还得掩饰自己心中强烈的喜悦, 但是一个月后,他和另一个女孩子在一起。

  我喜欢他,也知道他喜欢我,可是,他为什么总是不追我呢? 明明喜欢彼此,为什么不行动?每当他交一个女朋友,我就心痛一次, 一次又一次的打击,让我不禁怀疑,是我一厢情愿吗?不爱我, 为什么要对我那么好?他对我的好,已经不是普通朋友可以做到。 喜欢一个人,好难过,我可以清楚的知道他的喜好,他的习惯, 唯独他对我的感觉,我猜不透,难道要我这个女孩子去开口吗? 尽管如此,我还是想在他身边,关心他,陪他,爱他, 也许算是一种等待的行为,等待他回来爱我,就像每天晚上等他的电话, 等他的简讯,我知道,就算他再忙,也会拨出一些时间给我。 这样的等待,陪了我三年,等待是难熬的,是令人想放弃的, 但等到的那一刹那,让人第二天会继续等下去。

  这样的煎熬,这样的痛苦,这样的幸福,这样的矛盾,陪了我三年。 直到三年级下学期,高二一个学弟喜欢上我,每天的热情追求, 令我从一开始的拒绝,渐渐愿意挪出我心房的一些位置给他。 他像一阵温柔而持久的风,撩拨我这片摇摇欲坠的叶子,到最后, 我发现我已经不想只留一点点的位置给这阵风,我知道这阵风, 会带我这片伤痕累累的叶子,到更幸福的地方。 于是我离开了树,树只是笑笑,没有挽留。

  “叶子的离开,是因为风的追求,还是树的不挽留?”


风的告白:
  因为我喜欢的女孩子叫叶子,因为她有一棵令她依恋的树, 所以我要当一阵风,一阵呵护她的风。
 
第一次看见她,是高二我转来一个月后的事,个子小小的她坐在球场旁, 一双眼凝视着同和我在球场的学长,每天的社团时间,她总会坐在那里, 一个人,和朋友,她的眼光依旧凝视着他,当他和女孩子打打闹闹, 她的眼中有泪,当他看向她,她的眼中有笑。看她成了我的习惯, 就像她爱看他。

  有一天她没来,我心中没来由的焦虑与不安,我无法解释那种感觉, 除了不安,还是不安,而且那学长竟然也不在。我冲去他们教室, 躲在外面,看着学长骂她,她的眼泪,他的离去。 第二天,她依旧坐在场边,看着他,我走过去,对她笑一笑, 拿了张纸条给她,她先是惊讶的看着我,然后笑笑地收下。 隔天,她拿着纸条出现在我面前,然后离开。

  “叶子的心太沉重,风吹不动。” “不是叶子的心太沉重,是叶子根本就不想离开树。”

  我回给她这段话后,她渐渐会和我说话,收我的礼物,接我的电话。 我知道她喜欢的不是我,但我还是有毅力一定要让她喜欢上我, 四个月内我告白了不下20次,每一次她都转移话题,但我还是不会放弃, 我决定要的人,我就一定会给它追过来!

  一直到不知道第几次的告白,出了口,虽然知道她一定会又说到别的事, 但还是有一丝丝希望她的答应,没想到她都不说话,“你在干嘛?怎么不说话?” 我对着话筒说。

  “我在点头。” “啊?”我不敢相信自己的耳朵。 “我在点头!”她大声叫。

  我甩掉电话,匆匆披上一件衣服,上了机车,冲去她们家按门铃, 当她开门的那一刹那,紧紧抱住她。

  “叶子的离开,是因为风的追求,还是树的不挽留?”


[读后感]
也许是树的自负,以为叶子会一辈子厮守着他,让他失去了叶子。
又或许,是树的残酷,一次又一次地伤害了叶子,让她心灰意冷而离去。

是风的执著,深深地打动了叶子?
还是,风的字条,一言惊醒梦中人?

究竟叶子是真心真意地接受风?
又或是,她已接受被爱比爱人幸福的观念?

Dead Corpse for you???

Quote :
"A Chinese cosmetic company uses skin harvested from Chinese executed prisoners to make collagen for lip and wrinkle treatment beauty products. Some of those products have already been exported to the UK.

...Apart from the ethical concerns from such a practice, there is also the risk of infections when using such products. "

This is real SHOCKING!!!

The truth is that, not only the skin was harvested from the corpses of executed convicts to develop beauty products for sale in Europe. The organs from the executed convicts are also being sold for transplantation.

Can you imagine that collagen lipstick or collagen wrinkle treatment beauty products that you have applied on you lips and other parts of your body may actually come from the dead corpse of convicts? And instead of attaining youth and beauty, you may have place yourself at the risk of getting skin infections!

And those patients who had their organ transplantation done in China could have possibly got their new organs from executed convicts!!!

How cruel is this! It is true that after the convicts are executed, their organs are longer of use. You may wonder, since their organs are put to good use to save other patients' lives, which relatively help to atone for their sins, why should one make such big commotion?

However,
Quote:
"In June 2001, Wang Guoqi, a Chinese former military physician, told US congressmen he had worked at execution grounds helping surgeons to harvest the organs of more than 100 executed prisoners, without prior consent..."

...Mr. Wang also told of one instance of a botched execution in which surgeons removed kidneys from a prisoner who was still alive after the execution shot him."This event has tortured my conscience to no end," said Dr. Wang."

What were your thoughts after reading the above quote? I no longer wish to comment on such inhumane acts. It is up to individual to do your own judgement.

Above quotes are extracted from http://www.atsnn.com/story/170630.html for which you may want to read on to more inside stories.

50 rules for men

Came across the below 50 rules on the net which I think, are very interesting.

1. Call. [Occasionally drop her a call, she will feel pampered.]
2. Don't lie. [If you are ever caught lying, you're gonna have a hard time - "God Bless You!"; harmless white lies may be pemissible at times]
3. Never tape any of her body parts together. [Especially her lips? Muahaha...]
4. If guys' night out is going to be fun, invite the girls. [This helps to build up the faith in you...]
5. If guys' night out is going to involve strippers, remember the zoo rules: No Petting.

7. Ditto for "Is she prettier than me?" [Ditto as per above comment against rule no.6]
8. Victoria's Secret is good. Frederick's of Hollywood is bad.
9. Ordering for her is good. Telling her what she wants is bad. [Yes, the gals do not mind you ordering for her but mind that you order her around!!! If you prefer to order someone around, think a maid is better.]
10. Being attentive is good. Stalking is bad. [How do you enjoyed being followed around and keep track of? Being over-possessive is not being attentive!!!]
11. "Honey", "Darling", and "Sweetheart" are good. "Nag", "Lard-Ass", and "Bitch" are bad. [Most gals prefer the more cultured ones, vulgar language is not welcomed.]
12. Talking is good. Shouting is bad. Slapping is a felony. [Yes, be gentle to women. Unless you don't mind being sued for abusing?]
13. A grunt is seldom an acceptable answer to any question. [Erghhh... No Comment...]
14. None of your ex-girlfriends were ever nicer, prettier, or better in bed. [People always have the impression that the next one is always better. Start believing in it if you have yet started.]
15. Her cooking is excellent. [It's the thoughts that matters, learn to appreciate the effort she put in even if the dishes do not taste as good as you have wished.]
16. That isn't an excuse for you to avoid cooking. [You need to learn to share the load from her shoulder.]
17. Dish soap is your friend. [Isn't fair if she cook and you wash?]
18. Hat does not equal shower, after shave does not equal soap, and warm does not equal clean.
19. Buying her dinner does not equal foreplay. [You have managed to satisfy her stomache, not her needs, muahaha...]
20. Answering "Who was that on the phone?" with "Nobody" is never going to end that conversation. [Never try to arouse her with any possible suspension. Women are good detectives.]
21. Ditto for "Whose lipstick is this?" [Ditto as per above comment against comment no. 20]
22. Two words: clean socks. [Smelly socks will turn off anybody, no only women!]
23. Believe it or not, you're probably not more attractive when you're drunk. [Men never become more attractive when they are drunk, it is always the women who do so.]
24. Burping is not sexy. [In fact, it is disgusting! Especially if there's any "smell" from your burping... Yucks!]
25. You're wrong. [Learn to admit your mistake even if you think you are not at fault. Trust me, it makes your life easier.]
26. You're sorry. [Learn to say sorry even if you don't mean it. Life will be much easier.]
27. She is probably less impressed by your discourse on your cool car than you think she is. [Women and men think differently, they also appreciate things differently]
28. Ditto for your discourse on football. [Ditto as per comment against rule no.27]
29. Ditto for your ability to jump up and hit any awning in a single bound. [Ditto as per comment against rule no.27]
30. "Will you marry me?" is good. "Let's shack up together" is bad. [If you can't even think of a simple stmt to touch her, forget about asking for her hand!]
31. Don't assume PMS is the cause for every bad mood. [Never assume, assume make an ass out of you and me.]
32. Don't assume PMS doesn't exist. [Ditto as per above comment against rule no.31]
33. No means No. Yes means Yes. Silence could mean anything she feels like at that particular moment in time, and it could change without notice. [Women just tend to be a little more tempramental, pls learn to be more understanding.]
34. "But, we kiss..." is not justification for using her toothbrush. You don't clean plaque with your tongue. [Interesting rule which sounds logical, muahaha...]
35. Never let her walk anywhere alone after dark. [Don't you think it's gentleman to ensure the women reaches home safely esp after dark?]
36. Chivalry and feminism are NOT mutually exclusive. [Very TRUE!!!]
37. Pick her up at the airport. Don't whine about it, just do it. [This is one good way to pamper her.]
38. If you want to break up with her, break up with her. Don't act like a complete jerk until she does it for you. [Dont be wishy-washy. It is unfair to the woman who has wasted much youth on you jerk! The longer you drag, the more pain she feels...]
39. Don't tell her you love her if you don't. [Remember rule no.1? Don't lie!]
40. Tell her you love her if you do. Often. [Let her know how you feels, she won't be able to guess what's on your mind.]
41. Always, always suck up to her brother. [Yah, in the event you does her something wrong, the brother may not punch you so hard on your face? Muahaha!!!]
42. Think boxers. [??? What's the rationale? Someone suggested bcoz more sexy?]
43. Silk boxers. [??? No idea what's the rationale. Silk boxer even more sexy? Muahaha...]
44. Remember Valentine's Day, and any cheesy "anniversary"she so-names. [This the basic fundamental rule of being romantic, still need to coach? Then you must be hopeless...]
45. Don't try to change the way she dresses. [Of course, everyone has their own style! You should accept the way she is. Unless you are willing to change the way you dress sloppily with bermudas and slippers?]
46. Her haircut is never bad. [Learn to appreciate, not criticise!]
47. Don't let your friends pick on her. [Think of how you feel if her friends were to pick on you!]
48. Call... and call again. [ Errr... I not sure if this is required by all women. Is there really so much to talk?]
49. Don't lie. [Women hate Liers!!!]
50. The rules are never fair. Accept this without question. The fact that she has to go through labor while you sit in the waiting room on your ass smoking cigars isn't fair either, and it balances everything. [Yah, the world is never fair. Men get their enjoyment while women need to go through nine to ten months of suffer before labour.]

If you notice, there is a duplication in 2 of the rules - " Call" & "Don't lie". Guys, do note the importance of these 2 rules and never ever try to break them, else be prepare to break off... keke :P (Juz joking)

Hot Topic: Dollies Gone Wild

Guess one of the favourite search in Singapore should be "Dollies Gone Wild" for the past few days and coming days. Like most people, I'm also quite curious about what they have posted. However, it takes my quite a while to find it, reason being "Dollies Gone Wild" is juz the blog name and not the blog site. I believe not only the general public are keen in what's being posted but also those men who have previously requested for sex in chatrooms, for fear of their pictures/nicks being posted online.

I have yet to read through all as I'm rather tired at this hour. Dollies seems to be acting as warriors of justice, carrying out great mission by publishing their chatroom conversation with those digusting guys who solicit for sex and posting the photos of those digusting guys online, putting them to shame.

They have claimed that, in their blog, they have revealed the chat logs exactly as it is, no censorship at all (the only thing they'd protect however is their own nicknames used on the MIRC for privacy purposes) Patterns might appear the same but people they've chatted with are different. However, have they ever thought that by posting the whole chatroom conversation, they can longer talk about the privacy. The potential "victims" could have been alerted and be more cautious in future conversation. They make even take note of the suspected Dollies' nicks incase... & with the global village linked by internet, I dun deny the possibility of "ex-victims" & "potential victims" being able to get into contact and they may work out a plan to lure the Dollies and do harm to them. I hope that the Dollies be in high alert at all times as their acts could have endanger themselves. Not only referring to them personally but also in terms of law implications.

As Xi-Yuan has mentioned, nowadays most girls are much intelligent then in our time and they do know the risk involved having sex with strangers and often they are after $$$ for providing sex service. The fact that, not only guys look for sex, but women too...and for those underaged girls, some could have used their "underaged" as tools to further "extort" $$$ from the men who had sex with them. So, how justified are the Dollies's actions when it actually takes 2 hands to clap? It's really hard to answer. And will the Dollies be able to preach the gals providing sex service in the future? I guess it will be a difficult mission.

However, I do hope that with the high publicity that the Dollies get, those people on chatroom will try to refrain themselves from asking/providing sex. Also, with these, the more innocent/naive ones will be more cautious in making friends in the chatroom.

Be it in the virtual world or in reality, there will always be bad and good person. The only difference is probably in chatroom, it is much easier for one to lie through their teeth as the other party could not get to see the person in real and try to read the body language to try to identify if one were lying.

We should always bear in mind to be careful when making/choosing friends in life.

Top Reasons Why Ladies Today Are Still Single!

1. The nice men are ugly. [Not true for all,I know some nice men who are handsome.]

2. The handsome men are not nice. [Comments same as pt. no.1]

3. The handsome and nice men are gay. [Yah lor, nowadays more & more handsome SNAGs are gays.]

4. The handsome, nice and heterosexual men are married. [True! True! There are lesser & lesser handsome, nice, heterosexual men yet single and available.]

5. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men, have no money. [Ha, I know tons of them. No $$$ is small issue, most imptly must have the drive and eagerness to progress & excel; not all girls are materialistics. *winkz*]

6. The men who are not so handsome, but are nice men with money think we are only after their money. [Ha, I suppose this applies to Most Singaporean guys, and not limited to those who are handsome, nice & with $$$. That's why more and more Singaporean guys are getting wives from China, Vietnam, Burma, Thailand, etc; leaving nice girls in Singapore as spinster.]

7. The handsome men without money are after our money. [Gals are becoming more & more financial independent. It is no doubt there may be some black sheeps that do not mind sponging on gals. However, the black sheeps most likely are w/o $$$, but not necessary handsome. Juz that those who are more handsome, have higher chance of getting free providings.]

8. The handsome men, who are not so nice and somewhat heterosexual, don't think we are beautiful enough. [ :( Most guys are shallow, look for outer beauty rather than inner beauty, leaving the average looking gals on the shelves. They have forgotten one important point that, it is the inner beauty that is eternal and everlasting, looks will fade as times go by.]

9. The men who think we are beautiful, that are heterosexual, somewhat nice and have money, are cowards. [Think is quite true for most average looking guys, that if the gal they loved is of great beauty (at least in their eyes), they will probably feel inferior and dare not make the move. But this is even more true for guys who do not have $$$.]

10. The men who are somewhat handsome, somewhat nice and have some money and thank God are heterosexual, are shy and NEVER MAKE THE FIRST MOVE!!!! [I somehow do not agree with this statement. If the guys is in such an edge, it doesn't matter if he is shy. Coz, basically, he need not make a move as girls will be swarming towards him!]

11. The men who never make the first move, automatically lose interest in us when we take the initiative. [Not true, I heard of guys who gladly welcome gals taking 1st move. But I personally feel that they usually do not treasure gals (rather than lose interest) who made 1st move compared to gals whom they spend so much time and $$$ going after...]

NOW, WHO THE HELL UNDERSTANDS MEN?

"Men are like a fine wine.
They all start out like grapes, and
it's our job to stomp on them and,

keep them in the dark until they mature into something
you'd like to have dinner with."

[Haha... Damn hilarious man...]

SEND THIS TO SMART WOMEN WHO NEED A LAUGH AND TO THE GUYS YOU THINK CAN HANDLE IT!

P/S: Received the above article from an email and agreed with most of the points mentioned. Damn funny but it somehow reflected truthfully why there are still so many single gals out there!

何谓SUPERSTAR?

《绝对SUPERSTAR》最令人关注的就是,一个视障人士登上了总冠军宝座。与此同时,也引起一系列的争论,何谓SUPERSTAR?

其实,SUPERSTAR的定义,见仁见智。有者认为SUPERSTAR,就该具备皎洁的外貌,并且能歌善舞。有者却认为,歌者只要能感动听者,触动其心扉,亦是SUPERSTAR。就好像有人封艺人为偶像;有人封政治人物为偶像;也有人封成功人士为偶像。这些人物都来自不同的领域,却同样被奉为偶像。而前AMERICAN IDOL参赛者,William Hung,其貌不扬、五音不全、舞姿搞笑,却凭着一句“I already gave my best and I have no regrets at all.”风靡全球。每个人的心中都有一把尺,但却因人而异,到底如何衡量呢?实在难评定。

在舞台上,伟联或许算不上最称职的SUPERSTAR。可是在生活中,SUPERSTAR的称号,他的确当之无愧。他像是天上的一颗星,在暗淡的天空中,发光发亮,带给人们希望。他就像童话人物般,创造了奇迹,成为新加坡的首位视障总冠军歌手。这个童话,启发着大家应该努力追逐梦想,创造自己的一片蓝天;即使先天性不足及生理有缺陷的人,也同样有权利追逐自己的梦想。

伟联登上《绝对SUPERSTAR》的总冠军宝座,想必在接下来的日子会引起更多的舆论。其实,大家何不以平常心看待?对伟联日后的表演拭目以待。不整齐的牙齿,可以靠矫形来修饰、不完美的歌艺,可以靠训练来加强、没有令人期盼的舞蹈,可以靠他歌唱的诚意及肢体语言来代替。他现在需要的是时间来证明自己。如果他没有SUPERSTAR的素质,他自然无法在舞台上站得住脚。但是,倘若日后他以实力征服你的心,请不要吝于给与掌声。
