:D Added something more pleasing to the eye as the main page, in replacement to the coming soon :P Haha..... the coming soon very irritating :P Well... The rest of the things are still under construction lar :P So yar.... have to wait a while more :D but I think this should be able to hold a while :P Maybe next weekend I will do something more :D

Anyway.... if you are wondering.... Why am I here in the morning blogging.... Haha.... cos yar... our school did very well for the A lvls. So we got a day off :D Yay!!!! Haha....so yar... here I am :D

Want to share with you people something I read in the TIME magazine.

It about the science of happiness.

Here's an interesting fact that I found :D

" But therer's more than bonding going on when we tickle. There's learning too. It's no coincidence that the parts of the body that are most ticklish are also the most vulnerable- stomach, the throat, and the groin region where the femoral artery lies. Best to learn early that when those areas get touched, you pull away or tuck in your chin."

Cool hur :D So people, must take care of those parts hor :) When you all tickle, dun poke! Cos it hurts and there are vulnerable parts there.

" Of course, we've all been told that money can't buy happiness. Yet we don't act as though we listen. Millions of us spend more time and energy persuing the things money can buy than engaging in activities that create real fulfilment, like cultivating friendships, helping others and developing a spiritual sense. We behave as though happiness is one wave of a credit away."

Hmm... I agree with this statement... We always hear money can't get you everything.... but then why are we still trying so hard to grab money? But I guess there has to be a balance lar. We must also spent some time to gain mental wealth amist trying to gain money.... That can also apply to us :D haha.... we must also spent some time playing other than studying :P haha....

" Money dosen't guarentee happiness, in part because of a phenomenon that sociologist call reference anxiety. ccording to that thinking, most people judge their possesions in comparision with other's. Our soaring reference anxiety is a product of the widening gap in income distribution. In other words, the rich are getting richer faster, and the rest are none too happy about it. "

I think I am a very serious victim of this reference anxiety.... Oh no!!! Haha... cos I always have this uncontrollable urge to get what other people have -.- I have unlimited wants... all because other people have unlimited resources!!!! LOL.... Hmmm...... cannot ar... must try to control myself... otherwise I won't be happy :S Are you guys also a victim? Must control hur :D Lets break through this curse together :D

" Paradoxically, it is the very increase in money- which creates the wealth so visible in today's society- that triggers dissactifaction."

Yar.... but wad can we do? Ask everyone to quit their job? I think the economy is getting out of control now.... We can't stop it.... you imagine, one day we stop doing all the trading stuffs.... we will be doomed!!! So now the economy is actually controlling us!!! We have to slog like hell to earn a living and keep the economy going.... -.-

" But we are all so conditioned to think that there's something wrong if we don't make more money each year, high standard of living may, paradoxically, have become an impediment to happiness. "

Yar... if I dun get better results next time.... there's also something wrong :S Haha....

" Too many in the developed world have made materialism and the cycle of work and spend their principal goals. then they wonder why they don't feel happy."

Cool... I love this sentence :D Is materialism and the cycle of work and spend your principle goals too? Are you happy? For me.... well... its not actually a goal lar... but its part of our lives now.... You know... who dun have to but the things they want.... if they want to buy things... they will have to work.... it very hard to get out of this cycle unless you can crub your greed..... your unlimited wants.... Otherwise.... well.... only have to live with it :)

OKay.... thats all for now :D Hope you people get a bit enlightened :D haha... Well... although me might be enlightened, we can't really do much about it lar... Just spent more time with family and friends :)
And I wish everyone a happy week ahead :D Bye~
