i know, the above words is usually said by women, to their husbands/boyfriends (a very serious one)
and most of the time, men feel offended by the words itself...
being women, of course, i'll say that i simply do not understand why men need to drive FAST!!!
what's the big deal, of being 1 / 2 cars ahead of the others, and what's the big difference if you're 5-10 min ahead of the schedule???
IF you're not rushing for life-saving (for eg. ambulance), or still can make it in time for a meeting, i see no reason, why anybody should rush on the road...
really... it makes no difference...
if you're already late for a meeting, you ARE already late... blame it on your bad trip planning, drive fast doesn't really help the situation much...
anyway...
when women said "drive carefully/slowly, dear", it means something... definitely, and a man, for your wife/girlfriend/family, shall at least, try to listen...
first, as a driver (i drive too) all your passengers trust their lives in YOUR hands... or even your functional/non-functional brain - which coordinate the driving process...
as a driver, even if your passenger had to speak out, to request you to drive slower/more carefully... i seriously think, the driver has failed to be the driver, cos, the passengers are already feeling safe no more...
like i've mentioned, companion is very important to me... ie. i've never thought we all live alone... as a lonely island in the middle of nowhere by ourselves... whatever we do, there an effect on others, and vice versa...
for eg. i've just come across a news... which brought me back to the long old memory about a book that i read... written by 劉墉 (Liu Yong)
in the book, he wrote short stories of people he's met, or his friends... one of the stories, is about one of his acquaintances who (husband and wife) never travel together on the same flight, if the children are not with them... reason being... if there's anything happened to them (plane crash!???) there'll still be another one who can take care of their young children...
and today the news i came across, is about the actress Kate Winslet and her husband... who practise exactly as what's mentioned in the story...
ya... hearing it as a story and really seeing somebody practising it, is different...
anyway... like i've mentioned earlier... we all live for somebody...

S~N~O~W~
this is my belief... and i've shared with him...
and this is still my belief, and i'm sharing it in my blog now...
i believe... if i live long enough...
i'll see snow in this country one day....
technically, this is not just because i believe so..
technically, i also won't live that long...
but i still believe, there will be snow in this country one day...
as the weather is changing, the globe is changing, and it'll react one day....
from the area that i studied in uni looooooooooong time ago... long enough that, i hardly remember much anymore... besides a few faces, a few key words, and my field trips...
i know, given long enough time, this place, will be the coldest place on earth one day...
this is my belief... and it seems to happen pretty soon...
一直以來，我都相信著，也對他說過，有一天，我們住的地方，會下雪。。。
可能是生長於熱帶國家的關係，我們對於雪，好像都有一份迷思。。。
我常這麼對他說，說到後來，好像他也漸漸的相信，這會變成事實。。。
然而。。。不是因為自己天真，而認為，這裡，有一天會下雪。。。
因為以前讀地質的關係，知道，沒有什麽是絕對的，地球環境一直都在變變變。。。更何況現在人為的毀滅動作。。。變化，會發生得更快。。
原本我還想說，如果自己活得夠久，那麼我會見到下雪的一天（其實，如果這真的發生了的話。。。絕對不會是一件好事，世界末日快到了也！！）
但是。。。看到最近的氣候變化，人為的變化，好像。。。這樣的一天，就快到了。。。 （just around the corner ）
馬來西亞，終有一天，會下雪喲！！

YOu're my Dopamine~~
ya, many years ago, i came across this word... "dopamine" on a documentary (can't remember the title of it though)
^_^... ghee...
however... as of today, i search through the internet, most of the result can get to quite detailed in explanation, be it, scientific, or medical...
anyway, below is what i want and it's near to what i remember off the "documentary" that i came across many years ago...
"Dopamine is commonly associated with the pleasure system of the brain, providing feelings of enjoyment and reinforcement to motivate a person proactively to perform certain activities. Dopamine is released (particularly in areas such as the nucleus accumbens and prefrontal cortex) by naturally rewarding experiences such as food, sex,[9][10] drugs, and neutral stimuli that become associated with them. This theory is often discussed in terms of drugs such as cocaine, nicotine, and amphetamines, which seem to directly or indirectly lead to an increase of dopamine in these areas, and in relation to neurobiological theories of chemical addiction, arguing that these dopamine pathways are pathologically altered in addicted persons. Recent studies indicate that aggression may also stimulate the release of dopamine in this way.{Vanderbilt University (2008, January 15). Aggression As Rewarding As Sex, Food And Drugs, New Research Shows. ScienceDaily.}"
well... don't get into too details... ^_^ as it's just simply too scientific... hehe...
i started to think of "you're my dopamine" as...
i reckon, all of us do have somebody who's so precious that...
to put it in sentence, "i just can't do anything about him/her, the moment i see him/her, all anger, tiresome's gone"
and etc.
to most parents, maybe... their children are their dopamine...
for me... i realized this, many years ago... before our dear daughter comes to the world (then, it shall be revised)
so far, he IS my dopamine...
i'm sure most couples do have arguments once in a while...
same for both of us...
however, imagining how angry i can be, and what i shall do, what i shall say when i see him ^_^
WHEN i see him, all gets rubbed off... almost silently... for unknown reason...
unexplanable... (or, explanable, just that, the has-nothing-better-to-do me, simply try to me it slightly more complicated)
therefore, eventually... i reckon... he simply is my dopamine...

A TRip to Remember...
one day, somebody asked me, which place (of the places that i've been to... not many though) is a 'fun' place to have a leisure trip...
i've an answer, but i did not give... cos, whatever i answer, i doubt, it'll be the answer, the people wanted to hear, there and then...
my answer?
"it depends on the companion you go with"
yep... given me the best place in the world, if i end up with a wrong crowd, it'll not be a trip that's worth remembering...
i'm a very 'person' person...
lots of money to spend in the trip?
damn a lot of good food??
lots of shows to watch?
going to a lot of night / happening spots??
IF~~~!!!!! i were to end up with the wrong crowd... leave me alone then...
i know there're some of my friends, who can do trip alone... that's their blessing...
but i'd rather go with somebody i can enjoy to be with, for a trip...
and... strictly speaking... not just a trip, whatever i do, whoever i meet, wherever i go...
i do not know the exact reason, companions, is the key word to me....
work, play, stay, it's to be the right companion..
which i'm glad that i'm blessed with a bunch of good companions in my life... in work, in play, in trip...
and seriously... ^o^ putting work aside... (which i've not had the chance to experience)
he, so far is the best companion in all aspect, trip, stay... etc.
hahahahhaha~~~~!!!!!!
however, putting him aside again...
my school mates, my college mates... again, i'm blessed with having them, as the right companions for trip that i've had...
maybe this is because we kinda have the same understanding what's important for a trip...
it's not about having good food and good food alone, it's not about having a luxurious lifestyle in a foreign country, for the sake of having a luxurious lifestyle in a foreign country...
we... i guess.. (though i've never really asked) do understand that, a trip has to be enjoyable...
small hiccups, small obstacles, will not stop us from making it, a memorable trip...
therefore, to me, the right companion IS THE key factor for having a trip...
... can i name a place where it's the most 'fun' place to go?? value for money?? you can get all the things you want, from a trip???
no, i don't have an answer...
cos, it depends on who, you go with...
there maybe different people, with another type of answer... though...

Day Off
Hehe... yesterday, I declared a day off for myself :)
well... after Sunday's night dinner (he and I hosted a small new year gathering dinner at our own place, inviting 6 other friends) we're drop dead tired...
I was tired, maybe due to the work, or maybe due to over-eating... dunno!! ^_^
however... the next day... I decided to call-in sick...
since after I resumed my work in July, I didn't take any leave (as I don't have anymore leave left) and neither did I take any MC... and
since work seems to be under control... therefore, I gave myself some 'pampering session'
BUT!!! even though I've such thought in the morning, to "FULLY" utilize my "off day"... for eg. watching my 24 Season 6 1 shot - 18 hours, had my lunch wtih White Coffee... ^_^V
end result is: I woke up around 6.30PM in the evening, until sunset...
Everything's down the drain...
no 24 season 6, no white coffee... and no constructive activity... on my BIG off day...
eh... that's how I start my 2009.. haha!!
anyway... my little girl was busy kicking inside me, the whole of my sleeping "activity" yesterday... NOT sure if she's trying to wake me up for food? for real constructive activities or what... but as I was sleeping whole day, she was kicking inside me, for nearly whole day too... m(-_-)m
Later at night, I went to see the panel doctor for MC (oops... those who reads this, pls keep it to yourself, onegai!!)
and with my extensive and expressive description, I ended up with a gastric problem... woo hoo!!!
however... I manage to get my MC for the day... ^_^V
