Hahaha....guess, this week is much better as compared to say last week. At work, things were much easier to close and the bosses were also less cranky. But for myself, my health is still a concern....esp my sinus thing. Still whenever I am in a cold room or area, I don't feel good....very funny as I really love the "coolness".
Now....it is the opposite, cannot take the cold as I can feel my sinus acting up whenever I get "cold". My headache will come....so too my body aches. A shitty feeling....to have.
Beside this issue....the Genting shares were up from the start from Monday. Was thinking of buying at 41 cents...and by the times it closed on that day, it was already at 44 cents. The next day....go cut my hair and luckily I didn't do any buying as it went from 47 cents at the start and end the day at 44 cents...flat.
Then on Wed...fell to 42.5 cents and on Thur again up to 43.5 cents again. But on fri, started well....at 44 cents then as the day went by....dropped to 41.5 cents.
Shit!!! luckliy it was confirmed to win the IR project for Sentosa. So...should run on Monday hahaha. Let keep my fingers crossed....hehehe. Had 25 lots at 38.5 cents since a month ago. Bought too early....hehehe.

Beat the Blues - Treating Yourself for Mild Depression
The standard treatments for people with major depression are psychotherapy and antidepressant medications. Yet many people with milder forms of depression find relief by pursuing various activities on their own. The challenge is overcoming the sense of inertia that often comes with depression.
Last month, a news release from Medline Plus, a service of the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, listed several activities that help some people with mild to moderate depression. Although none are clearly approved as treatments for depression, none are likely to cause harm and can be used along with psychotherapy and medications.
Here are some activities that may help you treat depression without a prescription:
Join a group. Group activities seem to be especially helpful.
Exercise. In addition to helping to relieve the symptoms of depression, exercise classes also offer opportunities to socialize with others.
Try less stressful activities. T'ai chi, yoga, massage therapy, and acupuncture can help.
Interact with and care for pets.
Some people believe that herbal and dietary supplements may help with mild depression, although there is no evidence that they will help most people. St. John's Wort has been the most popular, but people taking this supplement must be cautious about possible interactions with other medications, including chemotherapy, they may be taking.
Deciding to participate and following through with these types of activities may help someone with mild depression regain a sense of control. But while they may have short-term benefit, these activities are not effective treatments for people with more severe depression.
Wah....man! for me, a "good pumping" will do the trick and clear my depression fast and also kick-start my engine for the rest of the day. If it is really a wonderful great pumping....then my week will also be great too hahaha. Guess...this applies to me only ( can talk about my own treatment )

Why Men Cheat - Mysteries of the Sexes Explained
Of course, we all know that while men and women are both capable of cheating, it's often the guys who have the biggest problem keeping their belts firmly buckled. And we all know that no matter who it's with, why it's done, or where the after-hours canoodling takes place, cheating is, ( most of the time )the ultimate relationship death sentence. But instead of dwelling on what happens after the cheating takes place, one of the ways to perhaps prevent infidelity is by knowing a little bit about why men stray. I'm not offering them as excuses, merely explanations as to what happens in that brain (and other body parts) of his, in hopes that you might be able to prevent it. Here, the top reasons why men cheat:
To Fulfill His Biology:
You know the old anthropological tale. A man's main job, besides killing the saber-tooth, is to spread his seed in order to ensure the survival of his genetic legacy. It's a man's biology to want to wander. Does that mean he should, or that he can't help it? Of course not. But it does mean that a man is going to have strong (extremely strong)biological urges to knock on the doors of neighboring huts. I have had this argument/discussion/conversation with dozens of men and women: Are men predestined to cheat? My answer is no, they're not, despite their biology. But often times, they do have to fight it. Especially after a pitcher and two shots of Jack.
To Get the Attention:
News flash: Sure, some guys cheat because, well, maybe the sexual frequency has slowed a bit, and maybe hot and heavy happens at home about as often as Rob Schneider gets nominated for an Oscar. But the truth is that plenty of men who are having regular sex with their partner are also having sex with someone else. Why? Because cheating isn't just about the sex. Just as a woman who cheats may be seeking more affection than what she's getting at home, a man often cheats because he's seeking the attention that he no longer gets at home. Part of the allure of the mysterious woman isn't just to find out what she looks like naked; it's that the woman showers the man with flirtations, with seduction, with advances that make him feel like he's worthy of more than just fixing dents in the drywall.
To Get Out:
I know lots of guys who simply don't have the strength to end it. They may try ("I'm just not happy"), or they may take other tactics to drive a woman away. A lot of guys simply have trouble breaking off relationships because they don't want to be perceived as that bad guy, the jerk, the insensitive ass-hole who ended something good. So they tiptoe around the issue in hopes that she'll get so frustrated that she'll back out first. Well, if that doesn't work, then a man knows that the only way out is to commit the relationship sin that drives a woman away for good. It's not right, but it's what happens.
To Change Up His Play List:
Think about what's on your iPod. You have your favorite songs you play over and over, but every once in a while, you're in the mood to hear something you haven't played in a long time. You don't need to hear it but once every month or so, but still, you appreciate the change-up. Relationships need to be like good iPods lists. You're comfortable with your routine and you like your routine, but it's always nice to change things up. What men really want in relationships (and what I suspect women also want) is to be able to take comfort in the routine of a long-term commitment, as long as there are some surprises that make it feel like a new relationship every once in a while. In order to keep the relationship strong, you've got to change the songs every once in a while. That goes for in the bedroom and out.
Yeah....sound about right! Spot-on!
