Lovey Dovey.
One month has flown past without most of us realizing it. Tomorrow, we start February.
February is highly anticipated with the inaugural CNY celebrations, house visiting, palatable CNY food and fat HongPaos.
It is also a month where stress crashes down on us like a snowball. It just gets larger and larger. And the burden? Heavier and heavier.
So far… most of the work in Secondary 4 requires a hell lot of concentration. And it really pushes your brain to the limit. But.. it’s all part of the maturity process! We start to see interactions and relationships and using our knowledge of each subjects, we link everything together. It’s one huge spider web that can be quite intimidating.
But its fun and thrilling to work your mind. (:
When I picked up Newsweek today, I flipped to the cover page article immediately.
The Chemistry of Love. Woot.
The author quotes various scientific research and renowned sex specialists’ data, and comes up with a few conclusions that love and romance are actually triggered by hormones and pheromones in our body.
“Sometimes, the feeling of pleasure might be just a series of hormones rushing through your body, telling you it’s a pleasurable sensation!”
“You might think that somebody made you feel good, but it’s actually your brain that made you feel good.”
Understanding how human beings interact, mate and stay together is indeed an intricate process, something that requires many years of research to unravel.
Interesting. And quoting some researcher:
“Human beings are suckers for a sexy body and a pretty face. Men go for women with large breasts and a low waste to hip ratio, while women go for men with broad shoulders and an unshaven beard. These are signs of a healthy mate.”
[Slightly edited cause I can't remember the full details]
(:
Some statistics /findings that were quite cute:
Males who are married are 20% more likely to become fat.
Males who are married live longer than single males.
Almost all of the women tested defined a good mate as someone with a rich, deep voice. (BOOMING with testosterone)
In a survey done of Swiss women, almost all the women could identify a male whose genes were compatible with theirs just by sniffing the males’ shirts.
Kissing is a test for gene compatibility between mates. [Due to the presence of (fill-in-the-blank-cause-ur-pro) chemical in the saliva]
Women living in the same community normally ovulate together because it is an opportunity for fitter males to have a larger selection of potential mates, as compared to if only one woman were ovulating, then it would be a reproductive fiesta whereby the males were to compete for one female.
(:
And ihe Lit today was fun. 
We had to draw what we thought the characters in Macbeth looked like. Some speed dating thing where we are supposed to promote the male characters to teenage girls. ><
Quite pointless.
Acidified Potassium Manganate VII (KMnO4) looks likes this.
And I think its a kewl compound. The colour rocks.
English Compre test was from 2:00pm to 3:35pm.
And again we have another controversial piece of text as our compre passage.
Male relationships might be seen as the highest form of human relationship but on the other hand, all that men seek for are mutual reassurance of masculinity and domination over other males.
They are sensitive when talking about personal matters and unable to communicate their feelings for fear of being ridiculed by others for being “weak”.
Yay. And to prove the passage wrong, I went up to Russell and Lim Yang and said: “I Love You.” Not from the bottom of my heart of course. ><
The passage is right in some sense. It’s the nature of men. But we can definitely refine our attitude. Even when I tried to say that, something is stopping me from doing so willingly.
It’s situational awareness. You know you’re going to embarrassed if you do that. It’s social taboo!
Haha, that was my day. Thursdays with Lovevie.
Dahwei. Loved.
Ace.
I aced it. WOOHOO!
39/40 and only 2 marks behind The Illuminator who scored 41/40. ><
Perhaps it was an easy test. Perhaps it was my lucky day. Perhaps it was focus.
True, mental blocks do kill a person, especially during times of grave importance. I sympathise with those who did badly for this test.
Anyways, apart from academics, let’s take a look at other interesting stuff that happened today.
We had Chinese Mo Xie today and the entire class was busy mugging for it throughout the first half of the day. We grabbed every single opportunity to mug for Mo Xie. (:
And at the end of the day, here’s what I observed. There are 2 kinds of people. A Confident one and a Cunning one.

CHEATING FOR DUMMIES (A parody of the act of dishonesty)
1. The CarbonCopy - Put two sheets of Chinese squared paper on top of each other. Using a pen, preferably a 2B one, apply tons of pressure and write out the answers on the first sheet. Faint imprints will be left on the second sheet. But it’s good enough.
2. The Footprints – Use a pencil and write out the answers on a piece of Chinese squared paper. Then erase the answers off and conveniently leave faint imprints on the paper.
3. Technocopy – Type out all the answers using a handphone and accidentally sit on your handphone button.
4. Tracerz - Write out the answers on a piece of Chinese squared paper with a dark coloured pen. Put a second sheet of paper on top and trace.
5. Eye-Massage – Write out the answers on a piece of Chinese squared paper. Slot it under your table and take eye breaks every 1 minute during Mo Xie.
6. Ignorance is Bliss – Put the answers on the table. When asked, reply with: “Whoops!”
7. LastResort- Submit a blank script and go: “Teacher, only smart people can read it.”
And so you have it. The 7 Habits of Effective Cheaters.
LOL.

And Ms Lim, I’m DARH WEEI for goodness sake, stop making me sound like a daidumb boy. (:
ReJoyce – Dai Wei?
Me – I’m Dah Wei.
ReJoyce – I’m sorry, Dah Wei.
Me (Silently) – Where art thou Dai Wei? Dai Wei?
And if I manage to find some kind of a video recorder, I shall upload this uber cool vid of THE GUIDEBOOK FOR COMPUTER GEEKS.
(:
Stay tuned.
Dahwei. Ace.
