The Why Game?
If my family (i.e. my family and my extended family...well at least on my mum's side) were a TV show--it would be an Asian version of some dodgy daytime soapie. We are seriously dysfuctional & like the soapies, the issues of 'concern' are trivial and childish (to say the least). I an actually say that we have had (are still having/are on the verge of having) family feuds.
Status in society is a funny thing.
I don't want to be a part of it in any way, but somehow I'm always indirectly involved, or even a factor in the 'issue' of 'concern'.
Anyway, I can finally relax...properly that is, because the Med Interview was the last hurdle, now I just have to sit back and wait (damn). Ah the waiting game? Ever tried doing that while lining up for a toilet cubicle? The longer you wait, the stronger your bladder becomes & the less likely that you will develop continency problems in your old age.
"If we all lived in communes we wouldn't have problems like rubbish & stuff like global warming."
You know how they say that girls like guys who resemble their father...true but only if the girl and her father had a good relationship when she was young (yes, I actually went and did some research). Nods. Therefore, such girls will find that guys with facial features, which resemble their father's: attractive. [Resembles; as in may look similar, in the same proportions to other features...etc]
Keeping in mind that there aren't any Oedipus Complex issues here (only reversed, because that usually applies to son & mother).
I had a good relationship with my father when I was young...he & I used to sing gibberish songs every night before I could go to sleep (mind you this was when I was a toddler, I still have some recollections), I had to have a song or else I would not sleep (according to my mother).
You know what's funny/dodgy (take your pick), my first exposure to music was through my aunty, and it was 90s Cantopop (Cantonese Pop)...uh yes. Hehe and my first celebrity crush was Andy Lau.
I would love to go to the Spice Girls' concert when they do have one over here. Just the novelty of it and being able to relive the musical aspects of such a ridiculous time in my life; when girls groups and boy bands were awesome. 5ive was THE bomb (I hated Abs, he was so retarded).
Remember when Shaggy used to be cool? (Oh wait, was that in 2000-ish?)
Pyromania: a very great desire for setting things on fire. - pyromaniac, pyromaniacal.
I need a haircut, I changed my mind--I'm not going to get a new fringe Sarah, just chop of the rest of my hair...must, it's so annoying.
I watched my first Film Festival movie yesterday: Coffee and Cigarettes. It wasn't boring, it wasn't exactly mesmerising either, but it was captivating because I watched most of it until the need for sleep kicked in.
Whenever an actor smokes I always try to see if they're actually sucking on a real cigarette or if it is real, whether they're taking real drags (I don't know when I started doing it, but I've been doing this for a long time). If they're smoking properly the smoke will come out of their nostrils (because that shows they're really breathing in the smoke) & if not, they'll just suck their cheeks in and let the smoke hover around their mouths. I liked the 'Twins' segment of the movie.
Cate Blanchett is GORRRGEOUS (she is awesome, I really admire her, but I always have...so ignore this). Meg and Jack White ACT?? I love the White Stripes...though Jack is a little creepy when he performs with all that greasy hair and the pasty face, but who cares--I like their music.
Major Histocompatibility.
Love Me; Love My Jokes
ScienceDaily (Feb. 14, 2005) - Hamilton, ON - That sought-after trait in a mate -- "good sense of humour" -- is more complex than originally thought. In fact, men and women define it differently.
Eric Bressler, a graduate student at McMaster University who is studying the role of humour in personal attraction, discovered in a survey of 150 students that to a woman, "sense of humour" means someone who makes her laugh; to a man, a sense of humour means someone who appreciates his jokes.
"There's a difference between producers (those who make you laugh) and receptors (those who laugh when someone cracks a joke)," said Bressler. "Women choose men who produce humour 62 per cent of the time; conversely, men choose women who appreciate their humour 65 per cent of the time."
Bressler also found a marked difference when he looked at different relationships: "When it comes to friendships, men like to be around women who produce humour; when it comes to sexual relationships, they only dig women who laugh at their jokes."
McMaster University, named Canada’s Research University of the Year by Research InfoSource, has world-renowned faculty and state-of-the-art research facilities. McMaster's culture of innovation fosters a commitment to discovery and learning in teaching, research and scholarship. Based in Hamilton, the University has a student population of more than 20,000 and more than 112,000 alumni in 128 countries.

It's really interesting stuff, but ignore the narrow-minded and misogynistic representation of women. I agree with the idea that women have 2 ladders and the 'Intellectual Whore' bit, but that's just me =].
