An Idiots Guide to the Art of Lip Locking


When it reaches to the end of your date, and want to say goodbye, but not just with words from your mouth….. with your lips, maybe!

What should you do?

1. Don't Panic.

Control your emotions and yourself too. Kissing is emotional enough without throwing in any paranoia over how well you flossed. Just relax and be yourself.

2. Bite Your Tongue.

French kissing may be exciting, but tonsil hockey may not be what your partner had in mind. Remember that this kiss is NOT about you, it's about THEM. You should never kiss someone for your own pleasure, but for theirs. Find out whether they like tongue action before you ever kiss. Ermm...It will be the sweetest thing if you did it well!

3. Keep It Simple Stupid.

It's just a kiss, not more than that. Don't get so emotionally wound up about it that you become obsessive. Don't try to make it complicated, just be yourself, and enjoy it for what it is.

4. Ask.

That's right, ask. Remember that girl is someone's daughter, that boy is someone's son. Ask them for permission before you kiss them. It shows you respect their opinions, and you won't end up with that embarrassing "oops... did i just kiss you" feeling. You might get that "No I will NOT kiss you" response, but at least you won't get a punch in the nose.

5. Be Considerate.

If you're in front of fifty other people, remember that they don't all want to see you kiss. They may tell you to "get a room", but what they mean is, "I don't want to see you suck face. It makes me uncomfortable." While public displays of affection are acceptable in our culture, there are limits to what those around you can stomach.

Fw: Fw: MALAYSIAN'S BOLEH 2) Our children condemned to a barren future






Again, I received a forwarded 'outcry' e-mail from a friend. Check it out!

Our children condemned to a barren future

CL | Jun 18, 08 4:42pm

Our children face a bleak future. This is the result of the complacency and ‘short-termism’ by our country’s leadership, whether past or present. We have squandered away precious resources and time by embarking on grandiose projects one after another, focusing narrowly on expensive infrastructures and monuments while consistently neglecting the one resource that can maintain Malaysia’s place in the global economy – our human capital.

From our primary schools to public universities, standards have been falling for years. Our PM has been busy crisscrossing the country officially launching economic corridors here and there. Perhaps the PM should be visiting schools and universities to see how well our younger generations will be able to cope when they enter the workforce.

The multi-billion dollar super-corridors are basically just hardware. What good is it to have IT hubs, biotechnology facilities; R&D centres when we cannot have competent and qualified professionals to work in them?

Education policies aren’t ‘sexy’. A comprehensive, well-thought out and laboriously implemented education blueprint might take years - even decades - before its results become apparent. But our government tends to go for the quick-fix, short cut solutions.

It revels in ‘instant successes’ that take little effort. Just throw the money, loads of money at the problem and you will get a fast solution. Want a Malaysian in space? Why, just hold a Malaysian Idol-like Contest, spend millions to buy a ticket from the Russians, and voila!, after a couple of months, you have your very own Malaysian ‘Angkasawan’.

Why bother spending the same millions (and years) in developing a space programme that actually sends qualified Malaysians into space?

National unity failing? No problem! Cobble some training camps together, supply some crisp new uniforms, install some vigorous physical training programmes, and presto!, after three months, our ‘National Servicemen and women’ will go back to their daily routine fully immersed with the spirit of muhibbah.

It is then not surprising that when it comes to our education policies, our government is guilty of not having a consistent, coherent and well-executed plan. The education portfolio is often seen as a stepping stone to a higher office.

As a result, every education minister that comes in tends to want to stamp his mark by introducing new ideas, which are then hastily implemented, often discarding the previous’ structure, both good and bad.

Substance does not matter here – what matters is we have something ‘new’. A case in point – we are still debating whether teaching science and mathematics in English is a viable idea.

The 2007 World Bank report reaffirms the poor standards of our public universities. Our primary and secondary schools can’t be that much better off. The report went on to say that Malaysia would lose its competitive edge if it fails to produce a world-class education system to propel the country into an innovative economy.

Already, Malaysia’s strength in manufacturing is being quickly eroded by countries such as China which has a vast supply of labour gaining in sophistication. In the services sector too, other developing countries have been furiously pouring in billions to upgrade their knowledge-based economies, and at the same time engaging the best brains to develop their future scientists.

So where does that leave us? Not only has Malaysia failed to carve out a niche to replace its waning dominance in manufacturing and to an extent the services sectors, our future generations of local graduates are ill-equipped with the creativity and knowledge needed to compete with the rest of the world.

Because our manufacturing and services sectors have no clear advantage over other countries, this can only mean our graduates will end up with jobs that are easily replaceable whether here or in other countries.

This in turn means the jobs available to our less-than-competent graduates will most likely offer remuneration that reflects its ‘commoditised’ nature.

Parents of young children have not much choice. Most of those who can afford it will likely enroll their kids in private schools. Many of the young professionals today will no doubt do whatever they can to send their offspring to foreign universities in order to secure a globally-recognised education that will give them that extra edge in getting good-paying jobs.

And where will these jobs come from? At this rate, no one will be putting their money on Malaysia. So we have a vicious circle – the Malaysian economy is stuck in the 20th century because our education system cannot produce sufficient scientists, engineers and financial wizards who can transform it into a knowledge-based economy.

Those with the knowledge will most likely offer their services to other countries because they cannnot find employment back home. In the meantime, our neighbours have leapfrogged over us economically with our best brains contributing to their advancement.

How about parents who have no choice but to send their children to government schools? They can only pray for a miracle that somehow, the standard of teaching improves; that the government appoints school administrators based on competence and not political obedience; that the entire education system is predicated on merit; that deserving students are given the means and support all the way from primary school to university to pursue their dreams.

If the government continues in its slumber and on its fixation on billion-dollar infrastructures, ignoring the crucial need to revamp our education system now, our children will suffer the consequences of low-paying jobs in a less-than-competitive economy in the future.

Coming at a time when we are running out of oil and high inflation looking to be a permanent fixture, our next generations will be the ones to bear the cost of our profligacy and myopic ways.

Low-paying jobs in a less than dynamic economy; no more oil; high fuel and food prices – aren’t we condemning our next generations to a lifetime of meaningless slogging, struggling to earn just enough to cover their bills with no light at the end of the tunnel?

Can A Family Man With Salary RM3,000 Survive In Malaysia ...!

Let's do some simple calculations here.

In Malaysia , the average family income is

(where father works, mother doesn't).

I understand there are many families whose monthly income does not reach
RM3,000,but, to make things simple, let's take RM3,000 as the figure. Ok lah, right?

Okay, let's start rolling with a family which has Papa, Mama, 1 daughter and 1 son. Ngam-ngam ....

Calculation starts...


Electricity and water bill:
RM100

(No air-con, No home theatre, No water heater ... ok?)


Phone bill ( Telekom):
RM100

(Internet streamxy RM68 + land line RM25 = RM93, round-up to RM100 la)


Meals for a happy family:
RM775

(3 meals on RM25/day 4 persons. Forget about makan in restaurant ya)


Papa makan / teh-tarik during working hrs:
RM155

(RM5/day, RM5 ... can eat what?)


Car repayment:
RM400

(A proton saga aeroback, 7 yrs repayment)


Petrol (living in city, traffic-jam) :
RM300

(go to work, bring son to school, only can afford one car running. NO YET CONSIDER PETROL INCREASE 40.8%)


Insurance:
RM650

(Kids, wife and self. Forget about insurance la..no money to pay, lets drop it)


House repayment:
RM750

(low cost housing repayment for 30 yrs, retired still have to work to pay!)

(got that cheap meh? i don't think so)


Older children pocket money @ school:

(always got extra to pay in school)


Younger children milk powder:
RM50

(cannot have the DHA, BHA, PHA one, expensive)


Miscellaneous:
RM100

(shampoo, rice, sauce, toilet paper, saman, etc)

Oh wait!!! I have to stop here, so...


No Astro,
no movie @ cinema,
no DVD,
no CD,
no toys
no computer,
no KFC, no McDonald,
no insurance
no jalan-jalan makan angin (vacation)
no chit chat on phone with grandparents, and etc...
nothing breaks down for repair


Let's use a calculator to total up... WALAO EH! #@%**#!
RM2,960 already...

EPF belum potong, income tax lagi........ oledi RM2,960 ....

How to survive lah tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian ???

Our Deputy Prime Minister asked us to change lifestyle?

How to change? Don't eat? Don't work? Don't send children to school and study?
Besides that, I believe in Malaysia population, there are millions of rakyat Malaysia which still don't earn RM3,000/month! !!

What is this? Inilah Malaysia Boleh...Sorry... it should be Malaysians Boleh, because we're still alive and kicking!!

Our politicians must be mad!!!!

The Etiquette For Your First Date


Things to do on your first date!

A first time date is about the first impressions and naturally, you never get a 2nd chance to make the 1st impression, of course you want to make a good one can be remembered. It is normal when we feel nervous or pressure before a first date or a blind date, it is not easy to realize whether the things we do on a first date will leave a good or bad impression.


Here are some tips that I have read about, so for Your First Date you do not have to give any false impressions about yourself. Whether the date works out or not, you should always be remembered as the person who was comfortable and delightful to spend some time with. I just share it with you, everything is up to you guys!


1. Make Eye-Contact


Making eye contact is very important. It makes the other person feel important and that you are actually interested and paying attention to what he or she is saying. But do not make she feels that you eye looks notty.


2. Give Compliments


Make sure to give your date a nice compliment- whether it is on their hair, clothes, smile or whatever you personally notice. To give compliments is about to show your date that you cared enough to take the time to observe the efforts they made in putting themselves together.


3. Laugh at His/Her Jokes


It is always polite to give a laugh whether your date’s jokes and sense of humor is funny or not. To laugh at his/her jokes and humor is to show the appreciation you have for the efforts they made to make the date interesting. So give a laugh without making it look fake or forced. Do not ‘buat buat gelak’.


4. Give a Confirmation Call


Give a quick call to confirm your date will make you both feel relaxed and peaceful. It will prevent any misunderstandings or miscommunication and will also relieve any worries about you or date being stood up. Plus, it also shows how much you are actually looking forward to meeting your date!

Don’t… Things you should avoid on your first date! Talk on the Phone

Nothing is ruder than talking on your mobile phone during your date, or checking messaged constantly while on a date.


5. Be Late


Being late for a date gives the impression that you do not respect your date’s time and you are also someone that cannot be relied on. Show your date that you value time and are responsible by showing up on time. This is a quality that everyone find attractive.


6. Talk too Closely


Do not make your date feel uncomfortable by getting too close when you talk to her/him, especially woman. A woman need to feel like she still have her own personal space and if she suddenly feel suffocated, then she will close up.


7. Be Aggressive or Direct


This is a difference between asking questions to get to know your date better and just being too direct. If you like your date, feel to flirt and have fun, but do not be too touchy and do not get too sexy with your talk. You do not really know how your date feels at this point and perhaps he/she is not ready or comfortable getting that far yet. Keep your flirting simple and set limits. You can ask questions to your date about their work, hobbies and so on, but do not be too direct and forward with your questions either. For example, do not straight ask their yearly income, marriage plans and so on. Remember, this is a first date- do not scare your date away with a “too much too soon” impression.


Remember! NO CHARGES FOR AWESOMENESS & ATTRACTIVENESS.
Everything is up to you!

The Science of Kissing


I have read an article about kiss, it is interesting based on the science perception. I think I should re-write it here even I forgot where I have read that article as a reference. The article is very simple, but there is a word such as philematology that I never know before even if I try to find it in common dictionary.

Have a nice time to read it! :)

Your lips touch and sparks fly. You feel like you're melting or that you've been hit with a wave of passion. We all know how a kiss works... or do we really? Have you ever wondered why kissing feels so good? We pondered this same question, so we decided to explore the science of kissing both physically and chemically.

Philematology, the science of kissing, is a true science. It explores the physiology behind the warm and fuzzy feelings that accompany a kiss.

Your lips and tongue are two of the most sensitive areas of your body. Both are packed with a large amount of nerve endings, making them an erogenous zone. When you kiss, these nerve endings are stimulated, causing feelings of passion and euphoria.

Scientifically speaking, kissing releases neurotransmitters (chemical messengers in the brain). These neurotransmitters attach to pleasure receptors in your brain to create these feelings of passion, euphoria and elation. These same types of neurotransmitters are released when you engage in activities such as marathon running or skydiving. It works the same way with passionate kissing, which is why your heart to beats faster and your breathing becomes deep and irregular.

Not all kisses evoke these chemical reactions though. Kissing your grandmother, an actor kissing a co-star on screen, or kissing a friend under mistletoe most likely won't start your heart fluttering. While these kisses may be pleasurable, you lack the chemical spark that comes with the feeling of passion or lust.

While this scientific chemistry in your brain defines what you feel when kissing, we recommend that you just relax and enjoy the sensations and feelings of passion the next time you lock lips with your partner.


However the kiss it is, we're thankful. :)
