Man vs. Woman (男人与女人)

I found this article in my Yahoo! Email..
It's kinda interesting ~ comparison between a man and a woman! So, I decided to post it.



「成功] 對男人的定義是指能賺很多的錢,
「成功] 對女人的定義是指能花很多的錢。


男人有錢就變壞,
女人變壞就有錢。


男人沒有女人,耳根清淨;
女人沒有男人,居家乾淨。


男人「入錯行」,上班會很痛苦;
女人「嫁錯郎」,下班會很痛苦。


好女人,養壞男人的胃口;
壞女人,吊足男人的胃口。


婚前,男人像傳令兵;
婚後,男人像指揮官。


失戀不見得是世界末日:你的心也許會"泣血",
你的荷包卻可以不再"失血"。


以前提到結婚,想到「天長地久」;
現在提到結婚,想到「能撐多久」。


當初會結婚,說是「看上眼」;
後來會離婚,說是「看走眼」。


婚前,愛情是神話;
婚後,愛情是笑話。


男人花錢,是為了讓女人高興;
女人花錢,是因為男人讓她不高興。


嫁入「豪門」,要懂得理財;
嫁入「寒門」,要懂得生財。


以前的人,視婚姻生活為「一輩子」;
現代的人,視婚姻生活為「一陣子」。


婚前,男人在餐廳等女人;
婚後,女人在客廳等男人。


婚前,男人經常找女人「討論」;
婚後,男人只告訴女人「結論」。


婚前,男人對她悄悄講話;
婚後,男人對她大聲講話。


戀愛時,情話綿綿;
結婚後,謊話連連。


戀愛時的男人,喜歡「毛手毛腳」;
結婚後的男人,變成「沒手沒腳」。


婚前,情侶做什麼都是「浪漫」;
婚後,夫妻做什麼都是「浪費」。




如意郎君何處覓?
有才華的長得醜,
長得帥的掙錢少,掙錢多的不顧家,
顧了家的沒出息,
有出息的不浪漫,
會浪漫的靠不住,
靠得住的又太窩囊………


男人呢?
漂亮的女人不下廚房,
下廚房的不溫柔,
會溫柔的沒主見,
有主見的沒女人味,
有女人味的亂花錢,
不亂花錢的不時尚,
時尚的不放心,
放心的沒看頭。




想結婚,是自己已能獨立;
想離婚,是子女已獨立。


婚前的男人,大都很幽默。
婚后的男人,大都很沉默。


女人的記性,吵架時最好;
男人的耐性,結婚后最差。


戀愛時,一見面就「親嘴」;
結婚後,一見面就「鬥嘴」。


婚前,男人常給女人「空白支票」;
婚後,男人常給女人「空頭支票」。


戀愛時,生活「妙不可言」;
結婚後,日子「苦不堪言」。


婚前,男人天天盯著女人;
婚後,女人天天盯著男人。


熱戀時,總相許下輩子再結良緣;
結婚後,常常疑上輩子造作孽緣。


大男人,會「作威作福」;
好男人,會「作牛作馬」。


婚前,「謊話」都是「情話」;
婚後,「情話」都是「廢話」。


婚前,靠近一點;
婚後,閃開一點。


婚前,沒話找話說;
婚後,有話也不說。

Why Shout?

Why do people tends to SHOUT when they're ANGRY?




One day, a professor asked his students 'Why do people SHOUT when they are ANGRY?'



All the students kept thinking of this. One of the students answered 'Because we lost our "calmness", That's why we SHOUT.'




The Professor asked again: "But the person is just right next to you, why can't we talk softly but have to SHOUT?"

Everyone gave their opinions but none was accepted by the professor.

 
Finally, the professor spoke out ~ "When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other."



    
As we SHOUT, we get ANGRIER. And we felt we're being drifted apart further, so we SHOUT even louder...


 
The Professor continued saying: "What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly, why?




 
This is because our hearts are very close, almost never apart. As our love deepen, we reached a state of communication where there is no longer needed to speak out.


"Finally they even need not whisper, they only look at each other and that`s all. That is how close two people are when they love each other." The Professor concluded this.



 
When you argue, do not let your hearts get distant, do not say words that distance each other more, else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return. WAIT for a few days. When you feel, your hearts are no longer far apart, only pick up the conversation and continue from there.

Scarf

The Melting Princess


Have you ever heard of the Melting Princess? Here goes the story..... 


Once upon a time, there lived a King. The King had a beautiful daughter, the Princess. The kingdom was a sad place because everything the Princess touched would melt.  

Because of this, men were afraid of her. Nobody would dare marry her. The king was kinda despaired. What could he do to help his daughter? Therefore, he consulted his wizards and magicians. One of wizards told the king, "If your daughter touches one thing that doesn't melt, she were be cured." The King was overjoyed to hear this. 

He decided to hold a competition with only one condition ~ Any man who could bring his daughter an object that wouldn't melt at her touch, would marry her and inherit the King's wealth. There came the 3 princes...... 

The first Prince brought a very hard alloy of titanium. When the Princess touched it, it melted. The Prince went away sadly. The second Prince brought a huge diamond, thinking that diamond is the hardest substance in the world that won't melt . 

But, it melted too. Lastly, the third Prince approached the Princess, "Put your hand in my pocket and feel it." The Princess did as she was told, though her heart pounding fast and face turn red. 

She felt something hard. Guess what? It didn't melt at all..... 



Now, the question is what's the object in her hand?

None of your business?

"When are you getting a boyfriend?"
 

"When is your turn?"
 

"When are you getting pregnant?"
 

"When are you getting second one?"


 

Is this been popping on your mind? I'm sure you had heard of these as well ! NO OFFENSE to everyone out there, as I just wish to speak it right from heart-to-heart! ;) 

In front of you, she tends to be tough. However, deepest of her heart; she cried solitary while hiding her true feeling. Do you people notice that, those are really annoying and frustrating!  You're putting pressure to her, aren't you? The following shown two-ways to tackle the root. Which would YOU prefer ~ in an orderly manner or vice-versa?

In a polite manner:
- "It's not the time yet, GOD will decide it for me!"
- "I'm not as LUCKY as you"
- "I'm still considering!"
- "No worries, you'll get updated whenever there is a good news."

The other way round:
- "Why bother asking?"
- "It's none of your business!"
- "You're such a nuisance! Why keep asking the same question? Don't we've a better topic?"
- "Stop asking me those STUPID question!"


Anyhow, I prefer beating around the bushes to my friends though I might get hurt sometimes! Would you do the same to your friends? Speaking right to your heart......

How do you spend your spare time?

Are you a novel fans? In fact, I'm not!

During my kiddie days, my dad was attempting to make READING as part of our life! Nurturing us by reading to us ~ from a colorful images' story book to Enid Blyton (without images).  And from the book, he taught us how to differentiate the tenses, as well as  learning new vocab. through the dictionary.  In case there was any exhibition or sales, definitely he gonna got us more books! My parents rather spent their money by buying us books than toys. Now, since the books were not in used, mum had donated them to charity.


My first bought novel was when I was 19 ~ Home Song by Lavyle Spencer because it was the cheapest among all. Frankly speaking, I don't even recognize whose the novelist!  BTW, I'm kinda surprise to find a few books of her in Perth library ~ Of course, I managed to borrow them! ;) Now only I noticed that she is the American best selling author of romance novels! Shame of me.



What about you?

I'm back finally!




How are you out there? I MiSs YOu sO MuCH ^.^ 
Finally I'm back to my blog again! So, just stay closely with me....

Step 5. Add those eggs to the boiled water. 
Step 6. Reduce to medium heat and allow the herbal soup to simmer. 
Step 7. Serve hot after 2~4 hours.

Me?

Yesterday, I joined in the curry chicken feast! The curry chicken reminded me of my mum.

A lot of my friend kept telling me that I'm gonna miss Malaysia food so much! Frankly speaking, I'm not! I just miss my mum home-cooked food so much. For me, her food always deserve a higher compliment than any of the hawker food. 

~@**~

Actually, I'm no longer doing the cooking job in Australia. Nowadays, my hubby's stomach is highly relying on this Master Chef in the house- Michael Tang. [Note: Supposedly, this should be my responsibility. Anyway, thanks Michael for feeding my hubby's stomach.].What about me? Did I mention that?

PR: Part 1

I was named by "Queen Elizabeth III". Curious? Still remembered the day I attended the Citizenship Ceremony? Michael and his son were calling me to snap a photo with all of them, but I was reluctant to do so! Besides, they exclaimed that I looked alike the Queen sitting on the golden chair (there is a portrait of Queen Elizabeth hanging on the wall)
~@**~
Since the previous blog I had mentioned on how to become an Australian Citizen, then I should take this opportunity to elaborate more on how to become an Australian Permanent Residency (PR).The following selection is only applicable to people outside Australia.

a) Applying under Skilled Migrant (subclass 175)....like I do):
- Pass a point test of 120
- Age under 45

b) Applying under Skilled-Sponsored Migrant (subclass 176)):
- Pass a point test of 100
- Age under 45
- Sponsored by an eligible relative living in Australia.


The point test is calculated based on:
- Age (Points: 30)
- English language ability (Points: 25)
- Nominated Skill Occupation (Points: 60)
- Work Experience (Points: 10)

Australian Citizenship

Michael and his kids will be attending the Citizenship ceremony today. After all, they are no longer Malaysian but Aussie! Of course, hubby and I are honored to be the guests for this special occasion.

After the ceremony, we're served with sumptuous refreshment ~ Puffs, bacon, salami, cheese, sandwiches and dim sim! It's super yummy...

Last but not least, I wish to take this opportunity to congratulate Michael and his children. He has been anxiously waiting for this day long time ago. Finally, he made it! A big applause to 3 of them. ;)


FYI, to be an Australian:
a) Sit for a test of 20 multiples questions and pass at a min of 60% (based on a booklet ~ Becoming an Australian Citizen)
b) 2 years Australian PR.
c) Good character - No crime records!



On or after 1st Jul 2008 Australian PR (just like hubby and I):
a) Sit for a test of 20 multiples question and pass at a min of 75% (based on a new booklet ~ Australian Citizenship Our Common Bond)
b) 4 years Australian PR. 
c) Good character.






P/S: I am holding the two books. BTW, you can get the book FOC [either through online or by calling the office]

Parcel

A close friend (cum ex-colleague) is going to celebrate her birthday in a few days time. And I thought of surprising her! Therefore, I dropped by the post office to check out the ETA date  (estimated time arrived) and the price (Note: I already had a check on the Internet before visiting them) on 30th Sept 2009. As told, it took about 10 working days by Air Mail to reach the final destination. At last, I  make up my mind to courier it the following day.


I was there the next day. Filling up the form and weighing the parcel as usual. I was calculating the ETA date again! By no mistake, the parcel will reach a day or two before her birthday (exactly 10 working days).


~@**~@**


Gosh.......I have been overestimated! Guess what? The parcel reached SP in just 5 working day! (am I right?) For me, though it was not a surprise; at least it reached Malaysia safely. Hope she enjoyed it! ;)




"A bowl of snack, making a lively day of yours "

Finally ~ it's off!

If you are following my blog, I've had been to the specialist because of my nose!


At first I thought I was diagnosed with sinus. (Note: Hehe..luckily, I'm not!) Just that I'm allergic to the XXX(unknown ~ it might be the air-con or dust). I'm on medication at that time- so relief with the medicine!  After all, I didn't consult the doctor anymore because first and foremost, I don't like those pills (note: Even I'm just a little fever or running nose, I would rather let it be as it!) and it's kinda waste of money (note: I knew the root of the problem)!


The doctor did tell me if I'm not on medicine ~ the problem will come and go occassionally. And I just let it happened all the time! 


Now my nose is no longer "happening"! (Note: No more sneezing and "ha chew-ing" for continues 3-5 days). Hoping it won't happen especially during summer. (Note: Summer is around Dec ~ Feb because of the humid, dry and hot weather)
