Why do men stray?

Oh today i read the newspaper and there is this article which talks about men straying, their signs of infidelity and why do they stray.. i would just concentrate on why men stray..

There have been many reasons on why men stray.... and more often that not, the fault is placed on the women, for example, does not treat him well enough, cannot bear kids, etc. etc. such poor women, always getting blame when sometimes (or most of the times) it is not their fault..

But now, it seems that scientists have found another reason why men stray... and this reason is backed by scientific evidence, based on biology.. SOOOO COOOOOOLLLL!!!

According to a recent report, a new discovery has linked a man’s philandering to a gene in his DNA. Conducted by Swedish researchers, the study looked at 550 twins and their partners who had been together for five or more years. The men who carried one or two copies of a gene variant called “allele 334” were twice as likely to have had problems with their wives or in making commitments in relationships in the past year than those who do not have it." (Kam, 2008 p.1)

Now, is this finding cool or is this finding cool? But i guess it needs to be elaborated a little bit more. Men with allele 334 are only more PRONE to straying, and it does not mean those with it will DEFINITELY stray... comes back to nature nurture. and men who have allele 334 stray not because they are more lusty, but rather they could not feel a strong bond between him and the partner.

The incidence of allele 334 was statistically linked to how strong a bond a man felt he had with his partner,” lead researcher Hasse Walum said. (Walum, cited in Kam, 2008)

Hmm.. interesting findings no? hahahaha.. i can sense that all the females are cringing looking at this post.. but oh well, it's just a finding.. i still believe that nurture plays a big role... but if u want to be on the safe side and really belief in this, take your men to do DNA test. XD

In the end, with or without this finding, men (and women) would stray simply because they can

God Bless

T cube = Terence, Trekathon, Tired

11 Oct 08

So i went for trekathon today... have been wanting to join 1 for quite some time, but then always didn't manage to.. this year, got chance, but a bit reluctant to go.. however, i still ended up going for it..

woke up at 6 to get ready, and my friend's friend fetch me to college... reach college at about 7.05. i called ying zhou, and when he finally picked up his phone, he haven't woke up yet... my call woke him up.. his reaction quite funny "i rush there now" sounding so gan cheong..

haven't had my breakfast, so went to McD to buy breakfast.. makan breakfast, chat chat, wait for bus... and finally board on the bus and we are on our way to Bukit Gasing, where we will be running to the top of the hill.

register, got ready, do some warm ups and we were being flagged off... girls and guys are seperated because accordingly "when guys run, they don't care.. it's for the safety of the girls" :) so we ran first, and all the guys rush to the trail... i was kinda in front at the start, but not really front also la.. ran uphill, downhill, cross bridge, went uphill again, doooooooooooooooown hill, come to a stream.. tried to not get my shoes wet, but failed... shoes are completely wet... went up stream, and then go all the waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy up.... yes.. the way up at the end is sickening.. SICKENING!!!

forced myself up there on will power, seriously so tempted to sit and rest, but just keep on going... leg already tired from friday's training, now running uphill somemore.. sei mo.. after going uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppppppppp finally reach the end.. got my number.. i came in 13th place... ok la.. at least in top 20.. top 20 got contribute marks to department.. so at least i got contribution right? hahaha

reach already, feel like vomiting, pissing and just feel that i need to rest.. but when sit down, very uneasy.. after a while, 20 minutes maybe.. the uneasiness went off... just beside the exit trail is Mr. Chan's house.. dang big lo.. the brunch is served there, and then it's prize giving..

the points for each department is read out... until the last 2 departments which is econs and bpsych... they all started chanting "econs, econs"... we all started chanting "bpsych, bpsych, bpsych" louder than them... lol.... then it is announced... "econs, 30 points" *clap clap* "bpsych....." then someone from bpsych shouted "31 points" ahahaha..

"bpsych.... 33 points" WOOO HOOO!!! we are the overall champion.. muahahaha... *clap clap*... take photo together gether.. then they got give prize to department with most participants.. econs won 1st placing for that with.. 67 participants if i not mistaken.. and bpsych comes second, with 61 participants i think..

then balik rumah... and yeah.. T cube

History

Today i had history. I learned history and i talked about history.

You must be thinking that it's that boring history subject, where we learn about our country... and those boring stuffs, but no.. that's not what i meant..

today, someone who rarely speaks to me face to face actually talked to me so much. at first, she was kinda silent, only talking when i ask her questions. suddenly, she started to pour out things... things that i never imagined that she would tell me.. she talked and talked and talked...

i listened, and listened and listened... she talked non stoped for about... 45 minutes? hahaha... but it was fun listening to her. since i got to know her until now, and compare it with today's 45 minutes, i would say that in today's 45 minutes i learnt so much more about her.

so that's that... then we proceed to do our thing, and it was my time to talk about my history.. officially.. :)

so i talked, and she asked questions... i poured out more and... i really talked a lot of my history. more of problems i guess... my self handicapping views.. and she's good at probing.. :)

well at least someone knows about my history...

God Bless~

She

This morning when i was sleeping, i got a dream

I dreamt that i was outside of my secondary school, and i was sitting in her car. the car was parked there, and i saw Lesley outside, sitting at the 'makan' store. As she started to drive, i remember hearing Jason Marz 'I'm Yours' on the radio. (strange how all these can be so vivid, but yes, i remember clearly)

As she was driving me back, we almost had an accident. She was crying and her driving was unstable. however we were safe. i got back home and the next thing i remember was that she was on the bed with me.. (fully clothed owhkie)

As she was crying, her head was lying on my chest. And i was half asleep. She would use her hand to massage my stomach and it felt good. Just like how mums would massage their babies stomach, it felt like that. she then used her feet and clasp my feet. my cold feet was made warm by hers. and again, it felt good

at that point of time, it seems as if the whole world is non existence, just me and her. talk about intensification of emotions in dreams man..

dramatic? poetic? i don't know.. but i can be sure that my dream this morning is full of emotions... who is she? she is she... :)

God Bless~

Death

Today I went to a funeral prayer. My friend's dad passed away and today marks his fouth day leaving earth. During prayer, all of us reflected upon our ownself

When will i die? How and why?

Will i die peacefully, having known i have lived a full life?

Will i die in anger and sorrow?

Will i be unforgiving and dissatisfied with the world?

Today i went to watch a show with my family. Money no enough 2. and it's a very good show. I love these kind of show where it teaches us to value everything around us and not take things for granted. Stongly recommended.. go watch it

Besides that, something inside me had died as well. or should i say, must die? hahahaha.. but at least it's resolved

God Bless~

Orange Juice and Plain Water

This morning i dreamt of a dream where me and my sis was in it. It goes something like this..

My sis was serving orange juice, and me, plain water. So she accidentally poured some onto me, and because of that, i splashed her with my plain water.. splash a bit only la.. haha

then she accidentally poured some more orange juice on me... and i splash her more

and it happens the third time, and i splashed her even more.. then she was mad and came after me with a jug or orange juice, wanting to pour everything over me

i, of course, ran for my life.. XD then she was unable to catch up with me and started sulking and kinda like want to cry... then i ask myself, "did i do the right thing?" a lil bit guilty in the dream and then i woke up..

and i started thinking... aren't we humans like that? you treat me this bad, i treat u this bad in return, or even worse sometimes. maybe it's time we think back if the other person were to get really furious, would we regret our option of treating that person like that?

"Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you"

Very hard to do, but i guess if we don't want regrets, we better treat people with love

God Bless~
