The Older Generation use their own hands to work and masturbate. The Younger Generation can only use their hands to rattle off on the keyboard. It's not surprising if they don't even know how to use their hands to masturbate! No wonder Singapore's population is going downhill. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;I use my hands to rattle off on the keyboard, to masturbate and to attain some cash in order to reduce the burden of my family. Right now, I'm clubbing and pubbing quite a fair bit - and all clams come right out from my pocket, not my dad's.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;Behind the 'rich' figure which I may appear on the surface - enjoying myself like there's no tomorrow, is a man who studies, works and plays hard at the same time. Welcome to my life. If you're trying to hit on me with the idea that I'm just an eighteen year old spoilt kid, think again. I wasn't born yesterday - so here I am, out from my cradle eighteen years ago...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ain't the writer cool?? =) i so agree with him hehh!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;retarded winnie&lt;/span&gt; reads the news and exposes herself to whatever views that're available from the more knowledgeable adults. she understands she has loads to pick up, and that certain perspective inside her ain't deep enough since she still has a long way to go in life. she wanna be more than just the stereotypical &lt;em&gt;Young Generation&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;--------------------------------&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;we meet different people everyday; that explains the different kinds of friendships we may've. while some are rewarding, others're just a complete waste of time. there're those who ask u out due to the companionship which they genuinely adore; similarly a handful stick with u cos they think u make a good accessory. don't despair if u belong to the latter my friend. feel honoured-- u're &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;gorgeous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;it ain't a popularity contest, never was it supposed to be. in either way it's &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;always better to be asked out than not to be at all. whenever i look back, there're several friendships which i've spent a considerable amount of time engaging in the nurturing job. loads of cash and effort were invested as well.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;i've learnt that while a friendship's of high maintenance, it's often at the same time of high risk. on the contrary a low maintenance friendship lasts much looonger, if not for a lifetime. unless the intention was for good food or indulgence, i despise going to expensive places for silly gatherings. i'd rather stand at a little corner discussing the weather with my bestie. =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;because i deem loyalty in every aspect of the word, i choose not to believe in a friend who has misplaced my trust on him or her ever again... don't get me wrong i hold high expectations for mysef too~. ohh and btw, &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;don't ya reply nothing when i send u my best wishes on ur birthday; i make a mental note not to text such &lt;em&gt;sibeh-rude fellas&lt;/em&gt; in the years ahead.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;love ya &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;strawb&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PS: &lt;em&gt;Are u tired of all those mushy friendship poems that always sound so good yet never actually come close to reality? Well, here's a series of promises that doubtlessly speaks to true friendship!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;1. When you are sad, I will get you drunk and help you plot revenge against that bastard who made you upset.&lt;br /&gt;2. When you are blue, I will try to dislodge whatever is choking you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;3. When you smile, I will know you finally got laid.&lt;br /&gt;4. When you are scared, I will rag you about it every chance I have.&lt;br /&gt;5. When you are worried, I will tell you horrible stories on how much worser it could get so quit whining.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;6. When you are confused, I will use little words to explain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;7. When you are sick, stay away from me until you're well again. I don't want whatever you have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;8. When you fall, I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;This is my oath, I pledge 'til the end. Why, you may ask.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Because you're my friend! And remember, a friend will help you move a stalled vehicle. A best friend will help you move a dead body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;so let me know if i ever need to lug along a shovel yea?? =P &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PSS: 20days to...&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b184/thestrawb/0109.jpg" /&gt;!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ffcccc;"&gt;But there's something, Baby that you need to know.

some people are just not meant to be. the other party might have expressed interest; you might feel likewise about him or her. alas due to certain circumstances, both of you can't pair up. there is no why and no one is at fault either.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;many may advise you not to pick those whom you can live with- choose those whom you can't live without. but trust me, there is no one you can't quite live without. people come people go, too often too frequent. it's the same as we belong to nobody akin nobody belongs to us. you are nobody's and nobody is yours; you belong to yourself.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;i yearn to be in a situation where two individuals unite, not because they belong to or can't live without each other. instead they just wanna be together. it's a want, not a need. till then i'm satisfied with my little worn-out life. thank you very much.&lt;/em&gt;"&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;zzz tight &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;strawb&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;...

this ain't one of the previous entries of mine but an update of life at the moment. am alittle nervous blogging straight off my mind as u all know i usually jot down stuff in points then have them polished and published another day hehh. =P&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;well i've just ended my final paper for the semester yesterday [30 sep]. it feels real great, not because the examinations were easy peasy but i had been looking forward to the vacation ahead as&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;danzel&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;and company've approached me to help out at the CMO once again till school reopens and i've added more apparels to my wardrobe i can't wait to put them on!!! gonna submit my group's BD phase2 early in the morning on monday before reporting to work though, hopefully the gate near T20's accessible by 0730hrs, that all exits leading to the stretch of staff rooms aren't locked and there's still some space for me to squeeze my folder in &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;mr.boey&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;'s office through the gap between the door and carpet... hee wish me luck!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ooh i've just had my hair trimmed in the evening, nope i think chopped would be a better word since the stylist took the two inches which i requested for three [... it's da bullwhip effect!!] the ends can barely reach my chest now~. rang &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;momma&lt;/span&gt; immediately to complain haa. =)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img alt="Image hosted by Photobucket.com" src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b184/thestrawb/shades.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;i reckon the length should be back proper like the above in four months' time; intend to do stronger curls just before i graduate next february. =P&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;visited a stationery store to bind my report after that. grrr i should have enquired bout the price before handing those nineteen precious pages to the &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;aunty&lt;/span&gt;... was charged two bucks for the job!!! &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;dalee &lt;/span&gt;paid $1.80 getting the service performed at jurong entertainment centre!! back in school the&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt; photocopy lady&lt;/span&gt; would probably ask for $1.50 the most~.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;also ran round a couple of places checking out how much it'd cost to fix the zips on my yellow top and trashbag skirt. finally settled for a shop opposite &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;doctor lim&lt;/span&gt;'s clinic. whoohoo i managed to haggle $2 [felt less cheated and was appeased~!] off what which had been set by the other party initially, since both pieces were purchased at the &lt;em&gt;mega sale&lt;/em&gt; of &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.surfbay.net/surfbytes/surfbytes.htm"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;surfbay&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; and &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.esprit.com.sg/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;esprit&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt; respectively &lt;em&gt;some donkey years ago&lt;/em&gt;, and that i actually reside in the &lt;em&gt;far far end of bukit batok&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;there're quite a number of bus stops between my home and the marketplace at jurong east&lt;/em&gt; [don't laugh nor roll ur eyes! there're certain things which u should scrimp on so u can've room for the rest. hairdressing's one fine example, unless it's a perm. besides white lies won't hurt]. the &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;well-tempered aunty&lt;/span&gt; told me to return for collection on tuesday. =)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;much has happened since 20th aug [the last post available for view at current], huge and small i can't fill u all in at once. so stay tune for more of &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;winnie&lt;/span&gt;'s adventures yea?? =)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;till then... here's something which i caught over the radio in the afternoon! what the &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;dj&lt;/span&gt; shared was interesting hence i decided to read up more regarding the topic over handy &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page"&gt;wikipedia&lt;/a&gt; and it goes--&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The cocktail party effect describes the ability to focus one's listening attention on a single talker among a mixture of conversations and background noises, ignoring other conversations. This effect reveals one of the surprising abilities of our auditory system, which enables us to talk in a noisy place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;... the cocktail party effect can occur both when we are paying attention to one of the sounds around us and when it is invoked by a stimulus which grabs our attention suddenly. For example, when we are talking with our friend in a crowded party, we still can listen and understand what our friend says even if the place is very noisy but usually don't remember what the person next to you was speaking. Then if someone over the other side of the party room calls out our name suddenly, we also notice that sound and respond to it immediately.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;... the effect is an auditory version of the figure-ground phenomenon.

Talk to it and sleep with it at night. After few weeks, start to argue with it at the top of your voice.

决定不要，好让我在国民服役之前有几个星期休息。本以为这段时间可以过着犹如富太太般的悠哉生活; 晚上呆在外头多迟也没关系， 隔天几点起床也无所谓， 偶尔还可以往健身房去做做运动， 准备准备。 但没想到我也会因为过闲而烦恼。 男性友人大多早就入伍了; 女性朋友上大学的开课了， 上班的也一样， 各忙各的。只剩下我这个上吊不成功而悬挂在半空中的怨妇，活得不舒服， 想死却又断不了气， 不上不下的。 所以每天就这么拖着， 时间慢慢在我毫无作为下渐渐地流逝。 只有周末和公共假日才有像样的节目。 五天制的都市生活，还真的不知该做些什么好。对于忙碌的上班族， 大概超想把这个生在福中不知福，抱怨正享受他们梦寐以求生活的我用公事包狠恨地毒打一顿吧。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;昨天家人为了在我入伍前举办了个庆祝会， 地点是在阿姨家。 他们知道我喜欢喝酒， 于是买了十几瓶红酒好让我痛快享用。 到了那儿，大人聊大人的， 小孩玩小孩的。 处于已过青春期尚未成年的， 只有我一个; 离我年龄差距最小的表妹， 话题也只局限于她对全民偶像谢先生的崇拜， 聊什么都”难逃维聪之网”。 打开电视， 国庆特备与一般日子的没差， 都一样的烂。所以我就呆滞的等到天黑开酒之时， 才兴奋起来。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;可能是太久没泡夜店吧， 我的视线在未开第四瓶之前早已模糊; 自制能力也被酒精征服了， 跟着就胡言乱语一番。 对于后记， 有如散落一地的拼图， 无法连成完整的一幅。 最后的一段应该是妈妈把我扶上床。 当我回想到这时， 赫然发现我那安静乖乖男的形象已彻底地破灭了， 好不&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;尴尬。妈妈谴责般地说我可是丑态百出， 还吐在爸爸的鞋上。 做父母的可不简单， 所以我很爱他们， 也尊敬他们。 因为背负的责任重大， 所以一直没想过要挑战担任父亲的角色。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;楼下中元节的喊标好比五零年代新加坡花样年花般的黑胶唱片;

They kept no secrets from each other, except that the little old woman had a shoe box on top of the closet which she had cautioned her husband never to open or probe about.&lt;br /&gt;The little old man had never thought about the article for all the years, until the little old woman got very sick one day and the doctor said she would not recover.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;In trying to sort out matters of personal concern, the little old man took down the shoe box and brought it to his wife. She agreed that it was time her husband knew what was in there. When the little old man opened the cover, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totaling $25,000. He inquired her about the contents.&lt;br /&gt;"When we were to be married," she said, "my grandmother taught me the secret behind a happy marriage was never to argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll."&lt;br /&gt;The little old man was so moved upon hearing the statement he had to hold his tears back. Only two precious dolls were stored in the box, which meant she had only been crossed with him twice in all their years spent together.

Looking at the kite,&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt; Chris&lt;/span&gt; saw the beauty in it; the shape that was splendidly ideal for soaring in the skies.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Chris&lt;/span&gt; took the kite home and set it on his table. He racked out his best glue together with some tassel leftover from last x'mas and began to mend the kite. He brushed off some dust here and there, and also added a lovely tail behind. When he finally held the kite up, he really liked his creation. &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Chris&lt;/span&gt; knew that the kite would go far in the skies for sure.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;He brought the kite back to the field the next afternoon, intending to let it sail along with the wind. Initially the kite refused to glide in the air; it didn’t felt confident enough to venture into the skies again. &lt;span style="color:#c0c0c0;"&gt;Chris&lt;/span&gt; gave it a gently tug and started running to get it lifted. The kite soon went soaring high it flew and flew the entire afternoon. &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Chris&lt;/span&gt; was so engrossed with it nothing else seemed to matter anymore. When dusk drew the wind grew stronger and threatened to break the string and send the kite away. Gently, &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Chris&lt;/span&gt; let loose it so the kite could descent slowly. He picked it up and returned home subsequently.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;That night after dinner, &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Chris &lt;/span&gt;positioned the kite on his table again. With extra care, he fixed two more tails to the edge. &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Chris&lt;/span&gt; turned off the lights and went to bed moments later, wondering if it would be able to fly better the following day.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Up went the kite into the skies as reckoned, as though it knew no boundaries. It travelled much higher than the day before and&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt; Chris &lt;/span&gt;was absolutely elated.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Just then, a strong gust of wind came all of a sudden, snapping hard at the string that was attached to the kite. &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Chris &lt;/span&gt;watched the kite drifting away from his side helplessly. "My dream... And all my efforts," the poor boy murmured.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;Nevertheless as he stood gazing on,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Chris &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;prayed for the kite to meet no mishap, that it wouldn't end up being torn by tall trees nor ground cable poles... He also hoped that somebody somewhere out there would chance upon the kite and appreciate it as much as he did.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;... life's often like that, if u can figure the meaning behind the passage~.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;sweet dreams &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;strawb&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;流泪手心 [&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;王力宏&lt;/span&gt;]&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;云飘在天空　浪在海流动　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;这世界太多　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;无法掌握的梦&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;你站在风中　你是自由的　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;生命有太多　不得不分的痛&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;当你将离别握在我手心　我听见爱被悄悄捏碎的声音&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;你不懂你不要的我的心　会随你松开的手而喊停&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;我试着微笑　试着拥抱　&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;在每一秒&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;我不想看见闭上的眼睛　害怕你最后化成泪溜出手心&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;你给过的承诺　我怎能不放手&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;当你诚实述说　他的爱多辽阔&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;这是我的手　它牵过你往事中度过&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;这段漫长的路　不该走到寂寞&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;当你将离别握在我手心　我听见爱被悄悄捏碎的声音&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;你不懂你不要的我的心　会随你松开的手而喊停&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;我试着微笑　试着拥抱　在每一秒&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;我不想看见闭上的眼睛　害怕你最后&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;当你将离别握在我手心　我听见爱被悄悄捏碎的声音&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;你不懂你不要的我的心　会随你松开的手而喊停&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;当你将离别握在我手心　我听见爱被悄悄捏碎的声音&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;你不懂你不要的我的心　会随你松开的手而喊停&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;流泪手心&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;[Chinese Simplified GB2312]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;But there's something, Baby that you need to know.

Mothers, who washed aluminum foil after they cooked in it, then reused it. They were the original recycle queens, before they had a name for it... Fathers were happier getting old shoes fixed than buying new ones.&lt;br /&gt;Marriages were good. Dreams were focused. Best friends lived barely a wave away. It was the era for fixing stuffs. A curtain rod, the kitchen radio, the screen door, the oven door, the hem in a dress... everything we kept. It was a way of life... all the munching, repairing, restoring etc made us crazy once in a while. We didn't squander; wastage meant affluence. Discarding of items meant you knew there'd always be more. But when our folks passed away, we were struck with the pain of learning sometimes there isn't any more.&lt;br /&gt;Those which or whom we care about the most get used up or leave us eventually... never to return. So it's best we treasure them while we still have them; mend them back when they're broken, or express concern for them when they're unwell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;The above is exceptionally true... for old cars, marriages, kids with poor report cards... dogs with bad hips, aging parents and grandparents. Others include a best friend who had shifted away, or a classmate whom we grew up with. We keep them by our side because they are worth it, and also because we are worth it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;Certain people bring bout a sense of importance to our lives. As such we keep them close!&lt;br /&gt;... Good friends are like stars; you don't always see them but you know they are always there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;Keep 'em close!&lt;/span&gt;"&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;--extracted from &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://malie.blogspot.com"&gt;malie&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;'s~!&lt;br /&gt;sugar sugar dreams &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;strawb&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;PS: happy happy birthday&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt; ad&lt;/span&gt;... =)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ffcccc;"&gt;But there's something, Baby that you need to know.

You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You are not looking merely for a girl/boyfriend - you are looking for your life partner. Perhaps you should be more open-minded about who you spend time with. The person you are looking for might hide their charm under their exterior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;Your readiness to commit to a relationship:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;The seriousness of your love:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You are very serious about relationships and aren't interested in wasting time with people you don't really like. If you meet the right person, you will fall deeply and beautifully in love.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;Your views on education:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Education is less important than the real world out there, away from the classroom. Deep inside you want to start working, earning money and living on your own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;The right job for you:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;How do you view success:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;What are you most afraid of:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;You are afraid of having no one to rely on in times of trouble. You don't ever want to be unable to take care of yourself. Independence is important to you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffcccc;"&gt;Who is your true self:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;... only realised i've posted something identical back in &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;masie&lt;/span&gt; when i was done with all the questions, but i think certain parts of the analysis've changed since i placed a tick against different options this time round. =)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ohiyo &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;strawb&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ffcccc;"&gt;But there's something, Baby that you need to know.

I wonder what he wants.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SL&lt;/span&gt;: It's logical. He wants to do us harm.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SM&lt;/span&gt;: Oh, no! At this rate he will reach us in four minutes at the most! What can we do? &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SL&lt;/span&gt;: The only logical thing to do is to walk faster.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SM&lt;/span&gt;: It's not working. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SL&lt;/span&gt;: Of course it's not working. The man did the only logical thing. He started to walk faster, too. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SM&lt;/span&gt;: So, what shall we do? At this rate he will reach us in one minute. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SL&lt;/span&gt;: The only logical thing we can do is to split up. You go this way and I'll go that way. He can't follow us both.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;So the man decided to follow &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Sister Logical&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Sister Mathematical&lt;/span&gt; reached the convent safe and sound and was worried for &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Sister Logical&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Sister Logical &lt;/span&gt;arrived soon after.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SM&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Sister Logical&lt;/span&gt;!

The man couldn't follow us both, so he followed me.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SM&lt;/span&gt;: Yes, yes! But what went on from there?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SL&lt;/span&gt;: The only logical thing. I started to run as fast as I could and he started to run as fast as he could.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SM&lt;/span&gt;: And ...?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SL&lt;/span&gt;: The only logical thing.

I lifted my dress up.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SM&lt;/span&gt;: Oh, Sister! What did the man do?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SL&lt;/span&gt;: The only logical thing. He pulled down his pants.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;SM&lt;/span&gt;: Oh, no!

I am writing this letter slowly, because I know you cannot read fast.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;We are not living where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved 20 miles. I am not able to send the address, as the last Sardar who stayed here took the house numbers with them for their new house so they would not have to change their address. Hopefully by next week we will be able to take our earlier address plate here, and that our address will remain same too.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine, situated right above the toilet. But I am not sure it works too well. Last week I put in 3 shirts, pulled the chain, and haven't seen them since.&lt;br /&gt;The weather here is not too bad. It rained only twice last week. The first time it rained for 3 days and second time for 4 days.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The coat you wanted me to send you, your aunt said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pocket.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Your father has another job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting the grass at the cemetery.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;By the way, I took &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Bahu&lt;/span&gt; to our club's poolside. The manager is&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt; Badmash&lt;/span&gt;. He told her that two piece swimming suit is not allowed in his club. We were confused as to which piece we should remove?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Your sister had a baby this morning. I have not found out whether it is a girl or a boy, so I don't know whether you are an aunt or uncle.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Your uncle, &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Jetinder&lt;/span&gt; fell in the nearby well. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off bravely and drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Your best friend, &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Balwinder&lt;/span&gt;, is no more. He died trying to fulfill his father's last wishes. His father had wished to be buried in the sea after he died. And your friend died while in the process of digging a grave for his father.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;There is not much more news this time. Nothing much has happened.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Love, &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Mom&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;P.S :&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;Jagjit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;, I was going to send you some money but by the time I realized, I had already sealed off this letter.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;??!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cccccc;"&gt;haahaahaa... =)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;good day&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt; strawb&lt;/span&gt;!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#ffcccc;"&gt;But there's something, Baby that you need to know.
