"When homosexual men smelled the odor of male sweat—more specifically, a chemical in the male hormone testosterone—their brains responded similarly to those of women. The researchers found that the testosterone compound activated the hypothalamus in homosexual men and heterosexual women, but not heterosexual men. Conversely, the estrogen compound activated the hypothalamus only in heterosexual men." - adapted from

As a result, male leopard frogs not only grow eggs but develop ovaries, turning them into hermaphrodites—male-female hybrids." -adapted from
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/04/0427_050427_strangedays3.htmlSome interesting articles that i came across while surfing the net to destress. Hai.. my life is so boring- everyday is a templated life. School->Home->read newspaper-> surf net->dinner/watch tv->do hw/surf net->sleep.lol. So lifeless. I realised from primary school till now, I have no real close friend maybe because of my soloist nature in me. When im young, i dont mixed around very much. I do my own thing and seldom bother about others. Then i finally have a close friend in P5/6. shes my first best friend i ever had...and the last..perhaps. We seldom talked to each other when we split into our own path for secondary school...=( hMmz... i cant handle close friendship well i guess =/ ...perhaps i will learn to when i grow older..perhaps... but im sure my soloist nature will be instilled in me forever ...sadly..=<
That aside, currently flooded by homeworks and tests. O lvl chinese in just 2weeks 1 day time and i have yet to prepare for it. Argh! I should honed my time management skills. Right now, i cant be a multi-tasker and balanced both HW/Tests and Revision-seemed impossible...
