"Those who had been exposed to the sexual cues were more likely to accept an unfair offer than those who were not, reports the BBC"


Women's sexual cues have a startling and, some might say, a debilitating effect on men.

When a man catches sight of a beautiful woman, he loses his ability to make good decisions and focus on the task at hand, according to a new study from The University of Leuven in Belgium. Men who have the highest amount of natural testosterone are the most vulnerable to a woman's sexual cues, reports the BBC News.

The study: More than 175 heterosexual male students ages 18 to 28 were recruited to play financial games that would test their sense of fair play. Each man's testosterone level was assessed by comparing the length of his index finger to his ring finger; men whose ring fingers are longer have a higher testosterone level. Just before the financial games began, the men were shown various images.

One group of 44 men were given pictures to rate. Some in this group were shown photographs of landscapes, while the others viewed sexy images of women.
A second group of 37 men were given a bra or a T-shirt and were asked to assess the quality, texture and color of the item.
A third group of 95 men were shown either pictures of elderly women or young models.
After this, they all played the financial game. Pairs of men were given $10. One man suggested the money be split, and the other had to accept or reject the offer. If the offer was accepted, they each walked away with $5. If it was rejected, neither man got to keep any money.

The results: The men who were exposed to the alluring images performed far worse in the financial games than the men who had not seen them. Those who had been exposed to the sexual cues were more likely to accept an unfair offer than those who were not, reports the BBC. The sexual cues seemed to distract them from the task at hand, making it difficult to concentrate and focus. Those who had the highest levels of testosterone performed worst on the test, perhaps because they are most sensitive to alluring images.

Dr. Siegfried DeWitte, one of the researchers who worked on the study, told the BBC: "We like to think we are all rational beings, but our research suggests...that people with high testosterone levels are very vulnerable to sexual cues. If there are no cues around, they behave normally. But if they see sexual images they become impulsive."

The study findings were published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B. Men."

BlogShares;- my new beloved online game;... kalau la pakai duit betul; ....ana KAYA, KAYA!!!!!!

I'm pissed. I really am. Today I found out that my ex-company, a company that I used to own some shares, has been putting my name in their invoices. I don't know the reason behind it, and I don't really care, but it was really "low". I only get to know about it when "the CUSTOMER" asked me about the status of the ex-company; in which my reply has always been a standard " I don't know".
"Can we just go through you to settle this issue?" the CUSTOMER.
" I still know the people in there, I can try"
" ...anyway, your name is there in this invoice dated ...., and we need to settle this ASAP " the CUSTOMER
" The hell???? "

Called the owner there and then, in front of the CUSTOMER, to ask for clarifications. He's on roaming and was not answering. I called the ex-CFO ; which admitted his honest mistake of putting my name into those invoices. Lucky I have my HP on the speakerphone mode for everybody to hear the conversation.

HAMPEH!!!!!

My home club, PTGC, owned by the KDEB, has been in a bad condition for the last 3 weeks. Reason? The management of the club were unable to cut the fairway grass due to faulty grass-cutter machines. WTF??? The first week was not that bad, come 2nd week, hitting the fairways feels like the hitting from the first-cut rough...3rd week, no fairways, rough all the way.

Members were furious. Complains were aplenty, yet no actions were taken by the club management to improve the situation.

Called in mid week last week to ask one of the staff about the situation.

"so, dah potong rumput ke dak?"
"Belum la, mesin potong rumput still rosak"
"La, management tu tak reti nak sewa mana-mana mesin potong rumput ke?"

Yesterday, I went to the PTGC, to play a round of golf, with no high expectation to the condition of the golf course ; but to my suprise, it was already cut and the green condition were excellent.

"Hey, hey,hey, what happened?"

"The KDEB bosses held a competition Sunday morning and were also here to participate in the golf tourney, .... we have to impress them la, so on friday, we were able to do the course maintenance; pinjam la mesin potong rumput sebelah."

" Wooi Yoo, if that's the case, I would love to have those KDEB bosses every week @ PTGC" " Course condition would be immaculate!!!!!"


HAMPEH!!!!

Don't say that I didn't warn you....

A crack within the ranks? or a crack within my ass.. same -same lor

No golf story today...but maybe some "cerita basi". About Malaysian politic...one day you're friend, another day you can become enemies.

Background;
Malaysia needs another bridge. A bridge that will link two countries; Malaysia and Singapore. A bridge that will allow ships to pass through; therefore; the couseway ;"Tambak Johor" would have to be demolished; and with that our port; Tanjung Pelepas ; would be the main port for all ships within the region; which will probably kill the "largest and biggest and the most profitable" port in the whole wide world; the PSA Singapore Terminal. Project was mooted and visualized during the ERA of the previous Prime Minister; the great Tun M.

"Apa Nama? Singapore tak nak a "straight bridge"? Takpa, kita bole buat bridge tu crooked; kah;kah; padan muka dia orang"

So the story goes; The new PM; Pak Lah inherited the project.

"Apasal la aku kena inherit this scenic bridge project? Tak masuk akai; takpa kita pangge dia scenic" instead of crooked; baru ada ngancam..."

The Singapore Government retaliated ;

" You wanna build the bridge; ok; we are a kiasu government; so if you wanna do that; gives us your airspace; for our airforce to train; and sell us your sand; so that we can make Singapore bigger...walla weh...so how, agree or not?"


" So how?" Pak Lah asked.
"We asked the people of Malaysia la"

Three weeks later; the project was scrapped. Tun M was really pissed-off.

"I think this is a...... country with no guts!!!!" " The Government is half past six with no guts!!!!"


Now, it has become interesting...

Dato' Mukriz Mahathir; the son of Tun Mahathir; and an UMNO Youth Executive Council member; urged the government to re-open and continue to negotiate with Singapore . Even if the matter had to be brought before the International Court of Justice.

KJ; the chosen one; UMNO Youth Deputy President and Pak Lah Son-in-law;

"There is no room in Umno Youth for leaders to make statements contrary to decisions taken by its executive council," in other words " Yo!!!! ko jangan nak kaco bapak mertua aku la; bapak lu punyer time suda habis; lu and bapak lu duduk diam2 aje la.."

Not just KJ, Chief pun tunjuk garang gak;

"You can give your criticisms. When you go beyond that – sending out letters to MPs and division heads – that is tantamount to undermining the Government leadership. I take full responsibility for what I had said "

“If Tun responds, I will respond back. We will see who gets tired.”

Finally, the response from Pak Lah; " Saya tak nak campur ini hal...ni soal remeh temeh, saya nak gi Caribbean and USA la, cari bizness for Malaysia BOLE!!!!" ...ahak

So the story goes... better get some inside story from Dato' SK. He, he, ....

"Yes, I was thinking of playing golf at your course tomorrow morning; and I heard that you have a very good promotion rate for people who wanna tee-off before 11am?"
" Oooo, yes Sir, tee-off before 11am, and it will be RM 199.90.."
"RM 199.90 per flight.., hui yoo, That's very good"
"Nooo Sir, RM 199.90 for two person...you'll get bla, bla,bla..."

THULE?

School holiday is just around the corner. It's that time of the year. Vacation with the family. Yee Haa. Going to spend a week with the wife and kids. This year will be a "beach" and "island" vacation. Sutera Beach Resort @ Merang, 2 days 1 night, then Bukit Keluang Resort@ Besut, 3-days 2 nights before heading to Coral View Resort@Perhentian Island, 3 days 2 nights . Plan to stop at Kemamang for the delicious Sata, Kepuk Gete. Plan to also go to Kota Bharu, Kelantan, on the 2 day while @ Kota Keluang; they say it's only 45 minutes driving.

I believe I would need extra space to put in all the baggages. About time to check-out the MPV carriage; the one that will be fitted on top of the roof. Top of the line will be THULE, made in Sweden; sturdy, reliable.

"Yo, AJ, you know where I can source this THULE ?"
"Go and check out the IKANO Power Center; they had a sale on Thule ;"
"OK"

Off I went to IKANO; ... lo-and-behold, they do have a THULE specialty shop; selling all products with the THULE Brand. Check out the ones that fit my MPV beautifully.

"How much?"
" This cost RM2,888, and this one, the one with the more aerodynamically design; cost
RM 3,500"
"Ptui....mahainyer"

At last, I bought an aerodinamically design MPV carriage box which cost me RM785. Brand? Not Thule la, but "MONSTER BOX"!!!! Ahak..

I will break 80 more consistently this month onwards. I hope....
