Power in Estrogen?
Is estrogen testosterone for women?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Estrogen fuels feelings of power and competition in women in much the same way testosterone does in men, researchers said on Wednesday in a study that shows the need to win is every bit as feminine as it is masculine.
Estrogen levels shot up in power-motivated women when they won and plummeted when they lost, while the opposite was true in women who appeared not to be interested in power, the researchers found.
"The biology of dominance in women has been vastly under- researched. On top of that, it sets up very nice parallels with men and testosterone," said Steven Stanton of the University of Michigan, who conducted the study.
Earlier this month, British researchers reported that male financial traders made more money when their testosterone levels were high.
Stanton, working under the guidance of German researcher Oliver Schultheiss of Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen, wanted to see if estrogen or testosterone was affected when women competed.
"We put women in this study in a face-to-face contest where they competed on a computer task for 10 rounds," Stanton said in a telephone interview.
"Following each round, they were told whether they won or lost and they could watch each other's reaction to winning or losing."
Saliva samples were taken to measure their hormone levels.
"Even before the contest started, we have this measure of power motivation or dominance motivation that we use," he added.
Volunteers are shown a neutral picture and asked to write a short story about it. "We look for themes that are related to power. The more power themes that someone writes about, the more power-motivated that we consider them," said Stanton.
Estrogen was linked to personality type as well, Stanton said -- and the women, mostly in their 20s, were evenly divided.
"The higher the women were in estrogen, they higher they were in this measure of power motivation," he said.
"To sum up, we have found that estradiol (estrogen), but not testosterone, and a nonconscious need for dominance are positively related in women. This positive relationship is strongest in single women (and) women not taking oral contraceptives," they wrote in the journal Hormones and Behavior.
Women who seemed to have less of a need to dominate were affected differently, Stanton said.
"It was almost a flip-flop of the result. Those who were not power-motivated, if they won, their estrogen went down. If they lost, their estrogen went up a little bit," he said.
"Estrogen is very behaviorally potent and is actually a close hormonal relative to testosterone. In female mammals, estrogen has been tied to dominance, but there has been scant research examining the behavioral roles of estrogen in women," added Stanton.
He hopes also to test women past menopause, whose bodies produce less estrogen, and also to test men and women as they compete against one another.

TAIPEI (Reuters Life!) - A Taipei restaurant-bar is letting visitors order "medicine" from a menu and dripping it into their glasses from a transparent ceiling-suspended vat, becoming the latest oddball themed restaurant in Taiwan's capital.
As many as 10 visitors can sit around each bed at the D.S. Music Restaurant, a hospital-themed eatery, and watch showgirls dance on weekend nights or chat up "nurses" whose rabbit-ears complement their starched white uniforms.
The 130-seat restaurant, which features crutches hung from the walls and a wheelchair parked in the lobby, is the only one with a hospital theme in Taiwan.
Other touches include a sign marked "emergency room" leading to the toilets.
"Food is hard to compete on with other restaurants, so the part we emphasise is service," says assistant manager Ou Chia-hao, brother of the 29-year-old owner.
"In Taipei, pressure on people is high, and they want a place near home where they can feel relaxed."
Ou's brother opened D.S. last year with T$5 million ($150,760) to express his enthusiasm for the care he got at a hospital when he was treated for a liver disorder.
Two more D.S. branches are in the works, with plans to open by the end of next year, Ou said.
The spot is the latest in a string of strange-themed eateries in Taipei, as local entrepreneurs cater to people with a taste for the quirky and offbeat.
The Jail puts some of its restaurant tables behind bars, while another serves full-course meals in toilet bowls. "

Xmas Begins
When a perfect, White Christmas is only wishful thinking in sunny Singapore...
(wait, make tt rainy :P)
Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates.
'In honor of this holy season' Saint Peter said,
'You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven.'
The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on.
The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on.
'It represents a candle', he said.
'You may pass through the Pearly Gates,' Saint Peter said.
The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys.
He shook them and said, 'They're bells.'
Saint Peter said, 'You may pass through the Pearly Gates.'
The third man started searching desperately through his pockets
and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties.
St. Peter looked at the man with raised eyebrows and asked,
'And just what do those symbolize?'
The man replied, 'These are Carol's.'
And so The Christmas Season begins......

Black for White
Black for White
Every year, English teachers from across the country can submit their collections of actual analogies and metaphors found in high school essays. These excerpts are published each year to the amusement of their colleagues nationwide.
Here are last year's winners.
1. Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a Thigh Master.
2. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free.
3. He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.
4. She grew on him like she was a colony of E. Coli, and he was room-temperature Canadian beef.
5. She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.
6. Her vocabulary was as bad as, like, whatever.
7. He was as tall as a six-foot, three-inch tree.
8. The revelation that his marriage of 30 years had disintegrated because of his wife's infidelity came as a rude shock, like a surcharge at a formerly surcharge-free ATM machine.
9. The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.
10. McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.
11. From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and Jeopardy comes on at 7:00 p.m. instead of 7:30.
12. Her hair glistened in the rain like a nose hair after a sneeze.
13. The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.
14. Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.
15. They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth.
16. John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.
17. He fell for her like his heart was a mob informant, and she was the East River .
18. Even in his last years, Granddad had a mind like a steel trap, only one that had been left out so long, it had rusted shut.
19. Shots rang out, as shots are wont to do.
20. The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.
21. The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while.
22. He was as lame as a duck. Not the metaphorical lame duck, either, but a real duck that was actually lame, maybe from stepping on a land mine or something.
23. The ballerina rose gracefully en Pointe and extended one slender leg behind her, like a dog at a fire hydrant.
24. It was an American tradition, like fathers chasing kids around with power tools.
25. He was deeply in love. When she spoke, he thought he heard bells, as if she were a garbage truck backing up.
Balance.
Always seem to have some sort of faith in that.
For every shortcoming chanced upon in one aspect, it would somehow justify some silver lining to come.
Sometimes sooner. Sometimes much later.
Most of the time, unexpected.
But great things are worth waiting for anyway.
To elevate us from our lowest spirits to profound enlightenment.
Isn't it only through failures do we truly appreciate success?
Like Non's success in obtaining Taylor's scholarship.
Congrats dear sis, so proud of you! :D
If it was a miracle, it was one much needed by ourselves and myself.
I could dare to believe in laughter again.
Perfect Narrations
Got this off Soongfee's...
It was so hilarious tt I gotta have it reposted.
Thought I was already "creative" enough with my narrative vocabs.
I was wrong.
But it did get me thinking if they were out to irritate the crap out of their beloved tutors.
Wasn't it any normal, bored student's secret fantasy?
Now then, what's your fav line? *wink*

ABIDJAN COTE D'IVOIRE
WEST AFRICA.
Dear Respectful,
"God Bless you,I know this letter may come to you as a surprise since it is
coming from someone you have not met before. However, I decided to contact
you based on a satisfory information I had about your personal and company
details as regards this business information concerning your country and
safety of our fund in a steady economy such as that of your country compared
to third world countries.
"I am Mrs BINTU HAMMED KINGBE of mende tribe in Sierra-Leone, my husband
until his death was the king of our tribe and also one of the richest
diamond and gold dealer in sierra-Leone. Last month, My husband was murdered
by the rebel forces on the accusation that he is a great sponsor and in
support to restore the democratically elected president of Alhadji Tejan
Kabbah. Almost half of the palace was burnt. My husband junior brother who
is in supporter of the rebel forces took over control of the leadership by
force. Fortunately I was not in the palace when they raided the palace. My
husband married four wives with 11 children. two of the wives, with three of
my children including my mother were murdered in cold blood while my two
younger sister escape the incident until this moment where the remaining
families are I don't know their way about whether they are alive or not.
Right now I am left alone with only child and a younger brother.
"Since the sudden assassination of my husband the family has been displaced
and totally disorganised.On the extensive search on the palace I discovered
the documents covering the deposit my husband made in security company. He
deposited two boxes containing US$ 14.5 million Dollars and gold . As my
town has been a serious war zone, I made arrangements with ECOMOG peace
keeping force to help me move out the remaining family out of the country.
However, we moved out of Sierra-Leone successfully with these documents,
certificate of deposit and receipt of payment, in other words my husband did
not disclose to the security company the real contents of the boxes, it was
deposited under a special arrangement as family valuable treasure, this
means that the security company does not know the content of this boxes
which was brought from Sierra Leone under a diplomatic coverage.
"Now that we are in Abidjan and verified the transaction, we need your
assistance to help us claim the consignment and move this funds and gold out
of Cote d" Ivoire for investment in your country as we cannot invest here
due to its nearness to our country also not being safe and the war still
going on there. By this mail, you are now requested to arrange a visit down
to Abidjan so that we shall know our selves and arrange on how to transfer
this money to your country as soon as it claimed out of the security company
and to sell the gold in your country. But if you can not be able to come
down, then we will discuss your percentage which we be for your help and we
will have your full details so that I will plan on how to transfer this
money out of Africa immediately it claimed out for investment in your
country.
"Your services will also be required on advising us for proper investment
programs in your country as he intend in united state or some part of
Europian countires after this transfer is concluded. This is subject to my
acceptances of whatever professional charges you may required. Please treat
this issue as confidential and contact me immediately with the above address
for more information about this transaction. Reply me this message
immediately.
"Thanks, Wishing you God richest blessing.
Yours Faithfully

"God Bless you,I know this letter may come to you as a surprise since it is
coming from someone you have not met before. However, I decided to contact
you based on a satisfory information I had about your personal and company
details as regards this business information concerning your country and
safety of our fund in a steady economy such as that of your country compared
to third world countries.
"I am Mrs BINTU HAMMED KINGBE of mende tribe in Sierra-Leone, my husband
until his death was the king of our tribe and also one of the richest
diamond and gold dealer in sierra-Leone. Last month, My husband was murdered
by the rebel forces on the accusation that he is a great sponsor and in
support to restore the democratically elected president of Alhadji Tejan
Kabbah. Almost half of the palace was burnt. My husband junior brother who
is in supporter of the rebel forces took over control of the leadership by
force. Fortunately I was not in the palace when they raided the palace. My
husband married four wives with 11 children. two of the wives, with three of
my children including my mother were murdered in cold blood while my two
younger sister escape the incident until this moment where the remaining
families are I don't know their way about whether they are alive or not.
Right now I am left alone with only child and a younger brother.
"Since the sudden assassination of my husband the family has been displaced
and totally disorganised.On the extensive search on the palace I discovered
the documents covering the deposit my husband made in security company. He
deposited two boxes containing US$ 14.5 million Dollars and gold . As my
town has been a serious war zone, I made arrangements with ECOMOG peace
keeping force to help me move out the remaining family out of the country.
However, we moved out of Sierra-Leone successfully with these documents,
certificate of deposit and receipt of payment, in other words my husband did
not disclose to the security company the real contents of the boxes, it was
deposited under a special arrangement as family valuable treasure, this
means that the security company does not know the content of this boxes
which was brought from Sierra Leone under a diplomatic coverage.
"Now that we are in Abidjan and verified the transaction, we need your
assistance to help us claim the consignment and move this funds and gold out
of Cote d" Ivoire for investment in your country as we cannot invest here
due to its nearness to our country also not being safe and the war still
going on there. By this mail, you are now requested to arrange a visit down
to Abidjan so that we shall know our selves and arrange on how to transfer
this money to your country as soon as it claimed out of the security company
and to sell the gold in your country. But if you can not be able to come
down, then we will discuss your percentage which we be for your help and we
will have your full details so that I will plan on how to transfer this
money out of Africa immediately it claimed out for investment in your
country.
"Your services will also be required on advising us for proper investment
programs in your country as he intend in united state or some part of
Europian countires after this transfer is concluded. This is subject to my
acceptances of whatever professional charges you may required. Please treat
this issue as confidential and contact me immediately with the above address
for more information about this transaction. Reply me this message
immediately.
"Thanks, Wishing you God richest blessing.
Yours Faithfully
MRS.BINTU HAMMED KINGBE"

Cornballs & Hand drops
Remember the cute hand flag sign from my Biopolis tour?
Two weeks later:
Hail vandalism.
On a different note,
Look what I've found at Ghim Moh.
KAKA corn snacks... last seen in primary school...
Still made in Malaysia heh.
Whoa, some things do last that long.
And for the suakus, these are what cornballs are.
Nostalgic.

One Day, But Not Today...
The Holiday
Maybe it was the relevance, the nostalgic xmas songs, or Jude Law's charmingly sexy presence...
To find me on a serotonin high with a simple (and lil cheesy) script like The Holiday ...
(Helloooo... wouldn't mind having u for breakfast everyday *wink*)
It's Xmas time anyway, aren't we supposed to be filled with warmth and love?
After all, we're all meant for bigger things in life.
Will be looking forward to that weekend shopping stint in Thailand next month then.
I seriously need a holiday. Away from everyone else.
From the familiar. The predictable. The imperfect.
But for now, I'll Have Myself A Merry Little Xmas.
One day. But not today.
P.s. But seriously, are people mad enough to exchange homes?
At least not when I have a mansion the size of 2 football fields :S
"Bebola Api?"
One of our favourite aca/duet song translation, inspired by the whacked post-movie supper with Shi Li & Adi...
Disclaimer: Requires Malay Translation app v1.1, or 10 teaching sessions with me :P
P.s.: It's singable too, lol
Api (Fire)
Mukabayi & Des'ree (Babyface & Des'ree)
You duduk keretaku (You're riding in my car)
I buka radio (I turn on the radio)
I tarik you rapat lagi (I'm pulling you closer)
Tapi you suruh pergi mampus (But you keep tellin me no)
You cakap I muka monyet (You say you don't like it)
Tapi I tau you suka bohong (But I know that you're a liar)
Kerana bila cium (But when we kiss)
Wah... (Ooh...)
A-pi! (Fi-re)
Malam buta ni (Late at night)
You bawa I balik (You're taking me home)
You kata mau minum kopi (You say you wanna stay)
Tapi I nak you belah (But I want you to go)
I cakap you B.O. gila (You say I don't love you)
Tapi you pun tau I bohong (But you know that I'm a liar)
Kerana bila cium
Wah...
A-pi!
Oh Ali dan Shanti (Well Romeo and Juliet)
Ah Hock dan Susanna (Samson and Delilah)
Baby you boleh beli 4D (Baby you can bet)
Mereka semua dah gatal-gatal (They were burnin' with desire)
Kalau I nak you mampus (If I say split)
I pasti kena potong lidah (Then I know I'd be lying)
Kerana bila cium
Wah...
A-pi!
Bila kita cium (When we kiss)
I bakar hangus (I'm on fire)
Sentuhan you ni (Your tenderness)
Buat I gatal lagi (Gives me desire)
I tak tahan lagi (I can't resist)
Nak lidah you sekali (Your tender lips)
Kerana bila cium
Wah...
A-pi!
Lol... I miss the Malay language sometimes...
Must have been watching too much of Cj's "Realiti" ( YouTube series complete with comprehensive Editor's notes ), a local series based on Msian Idol competitions... a bit too dramama at times, but still surprisingly impressive... heh... kudos to 8TV & Sri Pentas :)
Another walk down memory lane, this time inspired by Silly Shi Li...
Remember what we learnt in primary school?
"Ali suka main bola." (Ali likes to play ball)
"Saya suka main bola." (I like to play ball too)
"Mari kita main bola bersama-sama." (Let's play our balls together)
We never appreciated how cool our teachers were til now.
Ahahahahaha. Let's play more balls.

Procrastinator.
Look what I've dug up from YouTube...

A dance performance showcasing professional ballroom & latin dancers worldwide....
The owner suspiciously hints of Miss Bertisapoo... did you take this vid, babe?

The Singalasian
What's the difference between S'poreans and M'sians?
For one,
At the immigration centre's ladies,
You'll always see a single queue for the row of cubicles...
Until a fat auntie shoves herself through to stand in front of one of the doors...
"No line what!"
You see, life's more exciting when you dare to take more chances...
Coz you'll never know when u'll get previous occupant's 10 min worth of explosive diarrhea...
Or 15 min worth of mummy-and-screaming-lil-brats scuffle and aiming woes...
When you yourself have been fending off your own 120 min worth of bladder horror...
Don't get me wrong, I ain't a traitor... (yet?)
I embrace its vibrant life, heterogeneity and all...
But there's a limit to the truly asian aunthenticity one can ever take...
There's a reason why I'm the Singalasian while the girl next door's Malayporean rite?
Haha, okok besides the obvious reason tt Mandarin still doesn't exist in my vocab even after a level 2000 module, lol... (I know, I suck!)
Anyway final exams of my uni life to be over by May 2...
Can't wait...
Then I'll be freeee~~~~

Sesame Street Quiz
Couldn't resist such a cute quiz based on my fav childhood programme...
Am I that anal now?
Maybe I should start counting the books and boxes in my room...
The Count
You scored 64% Organization, 36% abstract, and 49% extroverted!
This test measured 3 variables.
Link: The Your SESAME STREET Persona Test written by greencowsgomoo on Ok Cupid, home of the 32-Type Dating Test
Am I that anal now?
Maybe I should start counting the books and boxes in my room...
Muahahaha~~
You scored 64% Organization, 36% abstract, and 49% extroverted!
You are mostly organized, more concrete, and both introverted and extroverted.
Here is why are you The Count.
You are both somewhat organized. You have a good idea where you put things and you probably keep your place reasonably clean. You aren't totally obsessed with neatness though. The Count is obsessive compulsive and needs to always count what he has. But hey, if he was really organized, he wouldn't have to count at all.
You both are concrete thinkers. The Count is very mathminded and wants to know what he has and where it is. His purpose in life is clear. You probably also know what you want in life, and you have a real plan toward achieving it. You aren't likely to throw everything away to take a risky chance.
You are both somewhat introverted. The Count is quite obsessed with himself and the things that belong to him. At the same time he has had 2 girlfriends and he has guests in his castle. Like The Count, you probably like to have some time to yourself, but you do appreciate spending time with your friends, and you aren't scared of social situations.
The other possible characters are
Oscar the Grouch
Big Bird
Snuffleupagus
Ernie
Elmo
Kermit the Frog
Grover
Cookie Monster
Guy Smiley
Bert
If you enjoyed this test, I would love the feedback! Also if you want to tell me your favorite Sesame Street character, I can total them up and post them here. Perhaps your choice will win!

Neighborly Lurve
Did this collage for my dear final 4th year neighbors...
Felt all nostalgic compiling them while I was rummaging thru the countless memorable pics taken for the past 3 years...
The notorious roars of laughter from the "Noisy Wing": daylene's unstoppable high-pitched guffaws, farah's & my sudden outbursts, olea's alto cackles, ophe's & liyi's soprano laughters, felie's hurhur chuckles, cj's, dandan's & jiayun's somewhat more civilized giggles...
The rare and ever-delayed neighbors' outings (50% attendance would be considered a success)...
The many DnD moments late-night practicing for my 1st year pageant item, burning & double-sided taping cloths to conjure up suggestive harem ladies or kinky snow white & 7 dwarves costumes (well, the lesser the better, since we were on a budget anyway, haha)...
The years of rag dances enduring backaches, blisters, absurd body paintings, skimpy costumes & stripteases...
True, I haven't been much of a block/hall resident for some time... Had surrendered to the fact tt I simply don't possess the inhuman stamina to endure those countless activities and yet attend lectures w/o falling asleep or going "huh?" every 5 seconds; decided instead to switch to the Selective Enthusiasm mode before I collapse from breathlessness...
Call it getting old(er), being a chao mugger (tho it doesn't really justify the cap, haha) or just being plain lazy/boring...
Whichever the case, I feel fortunate enough obtaining sth meaningful out of hall-life, particularly the special bond shared with these special babes... since I'll always be assured knowing they'll be the ones understanding & not being judgemental of my disposition and my rationale for doing the things I do... and most of all, being there when I needed sound advice or a shoulder to cry on throughout an emotional rollercoaster ride of self-discovery...
Thanks for everything dears, hope our bond will be as strong as ever even after we've turn grey-haired n wrinkly 40 years down the road aye? Heh :o)

The first year of ridiculous 6am IBG trainings that initiated our bonding...
The late nights spent chatting (or rather crapping) about...
The regular choc/dessert sharing sessions (i.e. fat distribution program :oP) tt always seem to foil our weight-losing attempts...
The notorious roars of laughter from the "Noisy Wing": daylene's unstoppable high-pitched guffaws, farah's & my sudden outbursts, olea's alto cackles, ophe's & liyi's soprano laughters, felie's hurhur chuckles, cj's, dandan's & jiayun's somewhat more civilized giggles...

The years of rag dances enduring backaches, blisters, absurd body paintings, skimpy costumes & stripteases...
The ever-elusive "Swimming coachings for sherry" program... when ah?? (ok maybe I should contemplate achieving washboard abs & chopstick legs to squeeze into them skimpy bikinis first, lol)...
