from a stupid guy. haha.

The Guys' Rules
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down Finally, the guys' side of the story.
(I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear
"the rules"
From the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please note...these are all numbered
"1"
ON PURPOSE!

1. Men ARE not mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no, we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months IS a
problem. See a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls,
don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one.

1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not a color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have
no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it
will Be scratched.
We do that.

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear Is fine... Really.

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball, the shotgun formation,
Or
golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight; but did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Pass this to as many men as you can,
to give them a laugh.

Pass this to as many women as you can, to give them a bigger laugh

recently the business bug has bitten me again. i, being hopelessly brand whore and materialistic and practical, obviously hope to be rich and powerful in the future. a few ways typically crop up when these thoughts hit me.

here are some of them.

1. maintain my 1st-class gpa get my 1st-class degree get a 1st-class job get a 1st-class pay. << feasible, strongly encouraged.
2. start a business. << madness.

i shall expand on 2. because, 1. is just. like that. it's something everyone else does and can do and i obviously can do too. so, no sweat. but 2. is the interesting one.

2. can be expanded into several subsections, namely what exactly to start? here're a few of my favourites in recent months/days.

a. start a donut shop.
b. start a wine cafe.
c. start a popular blog.
d. start a cafe.

to be perfectly honest, i have no deep passion nor interest in donuts. i merely eat them when i want to. i don't crave for them, and i certainly am no donut-fanatic. wine does far worse in my priority list. i don't even like wine. i just drink it because everyone else is and i like the sweet ones which don't get me drunk. so much for being a sophisticated. so a. and b. seem perfectly out of the question.

c. is an idea that was sparked because well. youtube just got sold for 1.6bn dollars. that explains any motivation behind any internet idea.

d. is something i'm sure every student thinks of. i mean, the perfect place, cosy, cool, funky, for you and YOUR FAVOURITE PEOPLE to go to.

okay i'm going to bed. my great business plans posts shall be adjourned until further notice. which means until i bother to post. zzz. i haven't finished anything i've wanted to say yet. so i'll be revisiting this definitely.

selemat hari raya everyone.

it's still kinda early but i resolve to sleep by midnight tonight. actually every day for awhile i've resolved to sleep by midnight and wake up at 6 am to do work or just enjoy the morning. the nights don't seem to be productive at all now so why not take a little more time in the morning to eat, read the papers and do work before i head to school. well it seems like the mornings are endless when you actually prop yourself out of bed at 6 am so yea i like this habit.

here's something that's always been in me. everyone wants their own way. and i think this every single time i'm at a traffic light crossing 2 roads perpendicular to each other. so the green man appears and you cross once to one side. and at the same instance you immediately wish for the other green man to appear. wouldn't you have hated this green man to appear before you'd crossed the first road? for that'd have meant a red man at your side (usually). hypothesis tested by me, found to be true. haha.

okay bad english paragraph that was. bathe and sleep.

misery loves company.

Does misery love company, or does misery make company equally miserable? Psychologists have long pondered whether couples and close friends are depressed in tandem because one person's mood poisons the well, or because people gravitate towards significant others with the same traits.

In the first longitudinal comparison of mood in romantic partners and roommates, Chris Segrin, Ph.D, a professor of psychology and communications at the University of Arizona at Tucson, found that emotional tone is set at the starting gate.

Segrin surveyed 153 dating couples and 170 pairs of roommates for three months. He concluded that women's emotional states?positive or negative?were unrelated to changes in their boyfriends' moods and vice versa. Moreover, couples that had been dating longer were no more likely to mirror each other's emotional states than were newly minted partners. "I was surprised by how similar the partners' moods remained over time. I thought there'd be much more fluctuation," says Segrin.

There was evidence of short-lived emotional contagion: Severely depressed subjects were more likely to have a roommate whose mood declined over a six-week period than were less depressed subjects. But subjects cheered up noticeably when they spent time away from their miserable roommates. "Emotional contagion doesn't last for weeks; it is more fleeting and transient," says Segrin, who thinks people believe otherwise because "the idea that you 'catch' emotions like you catch the flu is seductively simple and parsimonious."

While this study focused on depressive mood, Segrin's results, presented at the American Psychological Association annual meeting, were the same for people with sunny dispositions. "Couples were as matched on positive affect as on negative affect. Happy people seek out happy people, and those who are down and out seek the same."

All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players.

so says. who? i'm not sure myself, only that gary oldman did it for a nokia ad. sorry i'm not so cultured! but i like the line.

sooooo. i'm finally relieved of this project i've been working on consecutively for the past week and not had time to do anything else. it was really torrid staring at excel spreadsheets for 8 hours x 3 days and not giving it up. it got kinda amusing at the same time because i was convinced i started feeling an itch in my brain. it was just really nervy knowing that after staring at something for 8 hours you still can't figure what went wrong. i can never be a programmer i guess. and we handed up our project late in the end. if i don't get decent marks for it i'm going to cry cos it cost me alot of brain cells, alot of time, and a midnight cab fare.

well anyway for the first night in a week i feel rather free and sort of don't have stuff on my hand to do. okay i have work and studies and what not but i need a break. for now. anyway something my ais prof said has stuck with me for abit. "you're a student right? so your only job is to study right?" well i semi agree with that. i'd like to think that ideally as a student my job is only to study, but well there're other things in life you have to juggle. many of us work part time nowadays so work is obviously on the radar of "to worry about". plus we do have a social life. and family. and stuff. well the problem with studying is the hours it takes. if it were a job we shouldn't be hitting the books beyond 9 to 6 everyday. weeeee can't.

okay i haven't posted what i really wanted to post but i'm bored already. i'm sure i have attention deficit disorder which prevents me from watching tv as well.

bye!
