The Over Analytical Woman

On By

**Disclaimer : Crazy Little Thing Called Love has started! And i have been having tons of thoughts in my head. This will begin a series of my thoughts on relationships, not just with the opposite gender, but also on family matters. Some maybe just a rant, but others i hope there’s an insight. :) **

“Do you realise that we’ve been going together for exactly six months?” she asks her partner sitting beside her. And then there is silence in the car.

That is one of the lines from one of the short pieces that is being performed in Crazy Little Thing Called Love. I decided to start off with that simply because I think as women sometimes we have a terrible thing called the brain. lol. I’m not saying that it is a big hassle but often times, as women we tend to over analyse a lot of things.

Just from that simple conversation above(or lack there of ) will cause a female to go into a frenzy in thinking. She’ll be wondering why he’s not talking, why he’s not answering… basically not doing anything to reaffirm her question / statement. All the while the guy would probably be thinking of anything but her statement.. instead considering to reflect on other more important things (or supposedly more important things).

I honestly wonder why it is that as women we tend to over analyse things. And we females always said that men do the analysing. Some of us females will analyse to the point that we maybe conjure up our own understandings and scenarios which may actually have not happen. I suppose we want the male to confirm what is going on in our head or whatever it is by saying something.

These inherent need to talk or ‘bond’ comes from our female side of producing oxytocins. Which is also related to other things such as social recognition, pair bonding, anxiety, trust, love, and maternal behaviors. I have a good feeling since we produce this while the males produces their testosterone, that the chances of understanding brains of either gender would take more than a lifetime. lol

Males prefer being practical and compartmentalising things. While us ladies go into immediate multitasking even in the thoughts in our head. We want to multi task everything. I’m not saying this goes for everyone but there is some small truth to it. The over analysing is not always a good thing as it starts to make you think of nonsense. Makes me consider to sometimes wish for maybe a small portion of a male brain. pffttt.

Point is, while i’m blessed at the fact we are given a brain, i don’t always appreciate the behaviour some of us ladies have when we start to think too much. God gave us a brain to think and I hope that in the midst of chaotic emotional thinking at times we will take the time to reflect on what are the things that matter more… rather than being disturbed by unnecessary thoughts.

Now just for a laugh… I don’t the least bit think this is true but it’s great for some humour.

Monkey Island Special Edition

On By

Arrrrrr….avast ye matey! All ye pirate lovers out there, for those who believe in the power of the monkey then ye be glad to hear that Monkey Island is back!

Monkey-Island-SE-Wallpaper-1680x1050

Rememer the nimrod Guybrush Threepwood and his lady love the Governor Elaine Marley? Not to mention the terriba-ba-ble Pirate LeChuck.

Now i’ve only played bits and pieces of Escape from Monkey Island. But this game is sure lots of fun. The game is by the same man who created Star Wars and its probably as old as that film lol. A game with wit and humour what more can i ask for. I think the most memorable bits of Monkey Island had to be the insult sword fights and insult arm wrestling. lol.!

“Insult: I usually see people like you passed-out on tavern floors.
Comeback: Even BEFORE they smell your breath?”

Anyway here is the scoop on Monkey Island. There is technically two new games out. One is the Monkey Island Special Edition which is sorta like a remake of the first game entitled Secret of Monkey Island. I’m not sure if they are going to remake part 2 of Monkey Island though….

The first two games were on DOS and since we are now in the period of Vista we can’t find that anymore let alone play it. But with the Monkey Island Special Edition you not only get to play the game which has been lost to us so long ago but for those hardcore fans you can view it in pixeled format. Pretty much like the image above. :)

The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition is an enhanced remake of The Secret of Monkey Island for the PC, Xbox Live Arcadeand iPhone/iPod touch developed internally by LucasArts and released on 15 July 2009. The remake was announced on the first day of the 2009 Electronic Entertainment Expo along with the episodic Tales of Monkey Island (I’ll talk more about this in another post!)

Just have a watch at what’s in store!

And here is what some of the screenshots look like of the game :) You can view more at Gamespot

A story from the first person point of view about a man’s life from the moment of his birth up to the point he dies. The site is built with HTML and Flash. A very basic site that was enough just to tell people about the film, see the trailer and a few shots behind the scenes.The design is mostly black and white which was to symbolise the abstract feeling of life.

Manchester United Training

On By

Another series post. All about Manchester United down in KL

Friday was just the training session of the Manchester United players that came down for the Asian Tour. Heading there was a very very predictable jam waiting to happen. It was quite funny to see people in a number of cars heading to the stadium, all in their favourite jerseys. I spotted on Liverpool fan in the crowd lol.

We were all just under the blazing sun and it was super hawt! I was hoping to get a tan while at it :S

The place was not as packed to brim that day. I think only about 50 thousand people were permitted in with the training pass.

Frankly the training pass wasn’t much. I just had to laugh at the fact, that tens of thousands of people went to watch just to see some of their favourite players roll about on the grass haha. But hey all in good fun :)

The Objectified Woman

On By

**Disclaimer : Crazy Little Thing Called Love is about to start this week. And i have been having tons of thoughts in my head. This will begin a series of my thoughts on relationships, not just with the opposite gender, but also on family matters. Some maybe just a rant, but others i hope there’s an insight. :) **

This post is nothing new and it’s been talked about many times, if not on my blog but on other blogs too. In my Monash days we studied quite a fair bit on the objectification of women, since it’s a very apparent thing in media – be it film, print or whatever source of media.

I felt like blogging about it again because this has been floating in my head for some time. Furtheremore after the whole “Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen” movie, there were headlines all over the place on Megan Fox the worlds hottest women to re-merge as Mikaela in this movie. And then there was the controversy on Megan Fox being a man.

Now here’s the thing i want to point out, even the most highly looked at woman now, Megan Fox even has her doubts about the way she looks. Even though she’s already gorgeous as she is. My question is why in hells name why would a lovely girl like her even feel that way? (Ok i don’t know exactly what she feels but basing it on her recent interview – she doesn’t seem to “confident” bout her own body either)

Back on the topic of objectifying. Do not get me  wrong, I’m all for a person looking good and presentable… However I’m actually really tired of hearing how men would like a pretty thing on their arm. I think it’s a nonsensical egotistical immature ride that they enjoy when they go out with a pretty girl / hot chick / hoochie mama… whatever terms you’ve got for it these days. It’s a terrible ego ride that they go on. Thinking that they can get any girl… honestly it makes me sick!

What are women? Pieces of meat? Or in this sense very very dolled up prettified with black pepper sprinkled on top good looking pieces of meat? Just so that a guy can say to other men indirectly “Hey check it out, I’ve got the girl you are all after!” I want to say men like these, are immature.

I want to highlight that this kind of thinking is detrimental. It’s bad for both the male and females in this world. And oh so help me – reiterate a topic like this, which has been discussed down the ages. While sure it’s hard to curb this kind of mentality, but for those who are with wives, girlfriends, or about to get into a relationship with someone.. While this is a note of advice to the males… this does not mean it doesn’t go out to all you ladies too. Who love eyeballing cute little pieces of candy.

Think about it.. and see if this kind of thinking will do any good for the both of the partners. Even if you do look at other people.. occasionally or a lot try making your partner worthwhile at the same time. I’m sure she or he will always enjoy to hear something nice come out of your mouth. Instead of some fluke joke on how they will enjoy someone who is better looking or hotter or whatever. Cherish the fact that you have a partner. :)

Note To God

On By

Reading the lyrics of this song, i can’t help but feel it sounds almost like a psalm. It’s a cry to our Father in heaven, and I join in on this ‘prayer’. We can all read this song differently. But ultimately the one thing I think that can be agreed upon is that we calling out to God for help here on this side of heaven. The request for His Grace, even more so to persevere in our hard times.

As humans we can be so foolish, proud and stubborn in thinking that we can just settle everything ourselves. The troubles we go through, the suffering that the world has. No.. we can never do anything on our own. Cause nothing is within our control…

Just listen to this young girl sing her heart out and bring even more meaning to the words.

If I wrote a note to God
I would speak whats in my soul
I’d ask for all the hate to be swept away,
For love to overflow
If I wrote a note to God
I’d pour my heart out on each page
I’d ask for war to end
For peace to mend this world
I’d say, I’d say, I’d say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven’t got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we’re on

If I wrote a note to God
I would say what on my mind
I’d ask for wisdom to let compassion rule this world
Until these times
If I wrote a note to God
I’d say please help us find our way
End all the bitterness, put some tenderness in our hearts
And I’d say, I’d say, I’d say

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven’t got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we’re on

No, no no no
We can’t do this on our own
So

Give us the strength to make it through
Help us find love cause love is over due
And it looks like we haven’t got a clue
Need some help from you
Grant us the faith to carry on
Give us hope when it seems all hope is gone
Cause it seems like so much is goin wrong
On this road we’re on
If I wrote a note to God
