9 Words Women Use
(1) Fine
This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.
(2) Five Minutes
If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.
(3) Nothing
This is the calm before the storm. This means something,and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.
(4) Go Ahead
This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!
(5) Loud Sigh
This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)
(6) That’s Okay
This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.
(7) Thanks
A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you’re welcome. (I want to add in a clause here – This is true, unless she says ‘Thanks a lot’ – that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say ‘you’re welcome’ … that will bring on a ‘whatever’).
(8) Whatever
Is a women’s way of saying F**** YOU!
(9) Don’t worry about it, I got it
Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response refer to # 3. * Send this to the men you know, to warn them about arguments they can avoid if they remember the terminology.

Chav?!
This word actually refer to a type of youth, those who were uncultured, maybe a bit anti-social, perhaps even violent, but certainly left behind. These point of view actually came from the critic who actually having problem with that particular youth. Chavs are supposed to wear a lot of flashy jewellery, white trainers, baseball caps, fake designer clothes, girls expose a lot of midriff but nothing racial about it actually. I’ve found out that this language actually exist since the 19th century. It coming from Romany (the language of the Gypsies), ‘chavy’ means a child, or ‘chaval’ means a boy. And then later it was used for ‘men’ as well. But nobody knows who’s reactivated the word in recent times. It’s a noun, ‘a chav’, ‘chavs’, and also an adjective for example people talk about ‘chav behaviour’ or ‘chav insults’ and also other negative behaviour. -
Smirt?!
This word actualy come from the words “smoke” and “flirt”. Although smoking is something that certain country ban, but it is still something that a lot of people always and often do. Nowadays many countries prohibit workers to smoke inside the workplace so many of these smokers seek their own solution by standing outside the building and having a quick cigarette. While standing on the pavement and smoking, these smokers will meet the partner who has the same interst with them which is smoking. A short period in which to get to know each other and check your compatibility. In short, a place to flirt with potential partners. This is where the verb “smirt” come from, a mixture of the words “smoke” and “flirt”. When standing outside the work palce, most of the workers are actually having a great time smirting with each other.

Blackburied
Blackburied exist from the word Blackberry. Blackberry is a cell phone which we can use to check email, send sms messages, make a telephone calls and many other function. Blackberry is a brand name but other companies such as Samsung, Nokia, Hewlett Package make similar products. This gadget has become very popular especially in develop country with commuters where people often have their long journey in it. While waiting for the arrival, they will spend the time by typing on their miniature keyboards with their thumbs. Apart from all the advantages that this gadget provide us, there is also the bad side. What used to be a quiet, ease journey to work on the commuter is now taken over by the latest problems at work. Before this work starts as we arrived at the office but nowadays with the Blackberry, works come as we turn on the Balckberry. If you feel you can’t get rid of the email because of the importance, you might feel Blackburied. That means you feel overwhelmed and exhausted trying to be very alert and fast replying all those email. You feel buried under all the extra work that the easy access to your email has brought to you. It seems that these devices are also very addictive and almost impossible to ignore that gadget in your pocket or bag, and we simply have to check for new messages, all the time and it shows that we have been blackburried.

Oprah’s show to end
The iconic American talk show host, Oprah Winfrey, is to stop doing her globally famous show in September 2011, after 25 years on the air.The Oprah Winfrey Show began in 1986 and is now broadcast in 140 countries. With its confessional atmosphere and Ms Winfrey’s candour about her troubled childhood and her weight and relationship problems, it’s redefined the talk show genre.
It’s also made her the wealthiest black woman in the world, and possibly too, the most influential. A Maryland University study suggested her support for Barak Obama had been key to his nomination. Authors appearing on her programme can become bestsellers overnight.
Oprah is still the highest rated talk show on US television but audiences are half what they were a decade ago. Her empire also includes magazines, a radio show and, from next year, a television network, so it seems likely her place in American culture will continue.

Annoying
I went to to this not so famous store just to look around. People said this store sell cheap things but the problem is, you can’t buy those things for one instead you have to buy it about a dozen then only you’ll get the cheap price! Well, what can I say? This kind of marketing strategy sometimes just irritating. Imagine if you want to buy an oil medicated treatment, of course we need just a small amount of it to apply at our body but then we have to buy the oil medicate treatment for 12 bottles! and I guess it would be enough if we soak the whole body in the oil. Irritating right?I went out the store buying a dozen of soft drinks for my children. We paid at the counter and as usual the soft drinks were put into a plastic bag but then the cashier tied up the plastic bag with a cable ties or sometimes people call it zip strip! I don’t know what’s the purpose but it was really irritating and it made the plastic bag very difficult to open and I have to tear off the plastic to take the soft drink inside. Cable ties are use for binding electronic cables or wires together and not a plastic bag! How irritating and annoying!

Camera
My husband and I bought a digital camera when we were on our honey moon 3 years back. It is quite expansive actually but we still buy it because we don’t want to miss any beautiful memory in our very first vacation together. Instead of we took our picture, we also used the camera to take a snap of beautiful palces that we visited during the honey moon. On that time, we were so glad and thankful to the camera because it let us save our memorable experience.But now, things go the other way around. My husband keep complaining that the camera easily get exhausted and the batteries need to be changed regularly. He suggested we should sell the camera and buy a latest one but I insisted becuase the camera had done a great job before and it would be not appropriate for us to forget all the kindness that it gave us. We can buy a new one but I still want to keep this camera because of the sentimental value that we have shared.
Sometimes I wonder, why men easily forgotten the sentimenatal value of something? Do they actually appreciate the kindness and the sacrifies that we women had given them?

Hard Work
I’m so happy coz’ I’ve finished all those important work. I don’t have to think about it anymore. For last few weeks, I was so damn busy with assginment (not mine actually), marking exam papers and at the same time I have other work to be setteled as it is scheduled. Thank God for helping me to complete all those important work 
I am the type of person who will always focus in whatever I do. I just don’t like people interupting my work. I’m not the type who enjoy group work. I can’t deny that goup work has lots of benefits. Educators love to do this in class becasue by doing group work, students can share ideas with friends, can exchange opinion and group work can even lower your stress!
If I have to do something on the spot, I don’t mind doing it in group. But if the duration of the task completion is quite long, I prefer to do it alone. I’m the kind of lone ranger person. I don’t seek for friends and only few people come to me and want to be my friend. I don’t really mind about that because I used to it. I like doing something with my one pace, nobody to disturb me and nobody would rushing me.I just need my own space, having a cup of coffee and then the idea will come.
Well, I guess I just thinking about work too much! Sometimes I feel like having a rest in a peaceful and quite place like what the aruba vacations can offer me. Look at all those beautiful pictures (refering to Aruba Vacations website). I think this time I will go to the ocean, this is the only way to comfort and rejuvenate me after soooo much hard work.

My Money!
Yesterday morning we had a small party at my work palce. It was my friend’s birthday celebration, a SURPRISE birthday party. He didn’t know about this, the moment he pushed the door open, all of us shouted “Happy Birthday!!!”. He was really shocked but then he realize that he was not dreaming.There were lots of food at the party such as burgers, nuggets, home made cookies and breads, muffins, fried chicken, pizza and a birthday cake of course! I ate almost all the food but in small portions of course. After 20 minutes my stoomach felt uneasy and I rushed to the toilet which is located at the end of the block. After I’ve done, I took out a handkerchief from my pocket and all of sudden, my RM100 note dropped into the toilet bowl! That’s alot sum of money and of course I will NOT leave the money there. I looked around the toilet, looking for things that I might use to take the money.
Suddenly, I saw a mop laying against the wall of the tiolet. I grabbed the handle and I used it to take my money. I then washed the handle of the mop and I also put the money in the sink and washed it. I was so lucky because there were three hand dryers inside the tiolet. I used it to make my precious RM100 dry. Thanks to the mop, without you for sure I couldn’t take my money and appreciation also should be given to multi purpose hand dryer

Car and Woman
Cars are men’s favourite. I don’t really care about it. It would be enough if my car get enough fuel and it can moves. The rest, don’t ask me! I know nothing. Before I got married, my father used to do everything for me. He will make sure that the car is in good condition. He even filled up the air for my tyres but now I have to do everything by myself.
There was one funny incident happened. I went to the patrol station to pump my tyres up but then I do it wrongly. The air didn’t actually filled up my tyres but it goes out from the tyre. I didn’t notice anything strange but then the petrol attendance came to me and said the air actually goes out then he lend me a helping hand and I’m really thankful with his help.
Another incident happened early this year. My car’s window was stuck so I went to this one shop. As I arrived at the shop, nobody asked me what I want. They just ignore me but I didn’t really care about that. Then without waiting, I asked the worker there if they could fix my window. Surprisingly he said “We don’t do that in this shop, if you need any Ferrari parts then only you can come here”. I was so insulted! I know I just drive a small and cheap car, but I think that man didn’t have any right to say that words to me. Poor me…
