Memories

Looking back
This beautiful memory
Will stay deep in my heart

I may keep myself in this fantasy world
But the reality wakes me up everytime
I've invested a lot of time
With nothing in return
Only an illusion

The days we had are good
But I can't have the memories haunting me
So I'm backing off

Surely
These memories are preserved
Deep in this heart of mine
You will be there
Forever

A maze

Look me up when you are dizzy,
When everything is fuzzy,

But when between us is hazy.
The solution is easy,
Am I so mousy?

Are you that crazy
That act is gauzy
Because you are lazy,
So it's cozy
To leave when you are busy
And leave everything misty?

Well, I know I am a nobody,
Just to make them happy
You'd listen to everybody,
And leave me looking sappy?

What is wrong with life?

Oh God, I am so not looking forward to Monday when I will have to take up the duties of my maid for 3 weeks. It is rather sad and miserable to spend the holidays like that. But I dont have a choice.

Oh God, why must it be that way? Am I not destined to be happy? Am I that bad a person that I must stay unhappy all the time?

Oh God, could this be a sign that I should let go? And learn to focus on whats there and not what's not around?

Oh God. I know I should stop questioning. I asked too many questions, all of which have no definite answer.

Male Versus Female

Male Versus Female Jokes
The difference between men and women:A man is driving up a steep, narrow mountain road. A woman is driving down the same road. As they pass each other, the woman leans out the window and yells: "PIG"!!
The man immediately leans out his window and replies with "B-----!"
They each continue on their way, and as the man rounds the next corner he slams into a pig in the middle of the road.


Thats just an opening joke. On a serious front, are there glaring differences between the two genders?

I have identified some difference and have taken the liberty to look them up in different websites and compile it here.

Differences
1. Men are stronger than women
Women are actually biologically stronger than men, especially in the first few years of their lives. More males die before born than females. Delevopmentally, males lag behind and men die early than women all over the world.

2. Males are more intelligent than females
Based on a finding, it is true, but there's a disclaimer as the research is done by a man. He claimed that men are five points ahead on IQ test during the adulthood stage. Men are more likely to win Nobel prizes and achieve excellence simply because they are more intelligent than women, according to a controversial male academic.

3. Men's brains are larger, but as they age, they also shrink faster than women's brains.
This may account, scientists say, for the fact that there are many more male mathematicians, airplane pilots, bush guides, mechanical engineers, architects and race car drivers than female ones. On the other hand, women are better than men in human relations, recognizing emotional overtones in others and in language, emotional and artistic expressiveness, esthetic appreciation, verbal language and carrying out detailed and pre-planned tasks. For example, women generally can recall lists of words or paragraphs of text better than men

4. Women use more of their brains when they think.
Women use the whole brain for activities but men halved that.

5. Women talk more than men.
Women talk almost three times as much as men, with the average woman chalking up 20,000 words in a day - 13,000 more than the average man. Researchers have found that connecting with another through talking will trigger the pleasure centers in a woman's brain, a high second only to an orgasm. And, if that wasn't enough, the simple act of talking triggers a flood of brain chemicals which give women a rush similar to that felt by heroin addicts when they get a high.

6. Women are better at distress sound
I can't find a valid source of that.

6. Men will think about sex more often than women.
Another topic that have many controversial differences.

I am sure there are many more differences between the two genders. Like they said, Men from Mars and Women from Venus. They are totally different but yet they are happy together.

Friends

You are good friends
You look good together
But yet, there can never be anything more

Mixed generation with different concept of commitment

A: He is happy with her but yet they can't be together cause she sees lots of fault in him

B: They are happy together, but the relationship with like an affair. She is hidden everywhere.

C: She is in love with her, he sees her as a "Fun Friend".

D: They are happy together, he sees them together but he can't see himself being committed.

Have you encounter such a situation? More often than not, these are the things that happened these days, the mixed generation issue, it is called. Well, how then can we unhooked this problem and create a better understanding of the two genders? I don't have answers to all the questions. Maybe you have?

My Kids did it!

I am in high moon when I found out one of my students is offered normal acad stream. But in the midst of all the celebration, I had one kid who failed. It was so sad. Being new in this, I had problem informing him that he didn't make it. What was worst when he actually said, "You told me if I work hard, I'll pass. Why I didn't pass when the rest pass?" I was suddenly in tears. I didn't have a reply. I know he has tried his best. I have seen a lot of improvement in him. I know with the right push from the right people, this boy will be able to make it. He just needs more confidence. Today, his mother finally decided to let him repeat another year. I am glad she made that decision. I hope he will make it next year. I've told him to approach me anytime if he needs help. I hope and pray I wont be too busy and be there for him. I want to ensure this kid make it next year.

To my student, Wei Lin, congrats. I am happy with your achievement. I want you to continue to work as hard and achieve your dreams, whatever it takes, perservere and move on. Always remember the fighting spirit.." DIE DIE MUST TRY". Never give up. To the rest, strive harder, the road may be a little bit longer and harder, but that does not mean it is close. It will be open as long as you continue to drive and push your way up.

To all my "Kids" congrats.
