Truth

Truth hurts but lies could hurt more. That's when we find out the other person is trying to deceive us or hide something from us. No matter the reason, it just isn't good.When we make up a lie, we need more lies to cover it up. In the end, we go one big round just to realise 'paper can't cover up fire'. If you don't want someone to know something you've done, don't do it. Somehow, the other party will find out.
However, if the truth is placed right in front of us, would we choose to accept it? Whether we like it or not, I guess we have to. If not we'll just be running away from a problem that exists. 'White' lies can't keep you happy forever. Just accept the truth, move on. Sometimes, we just have to be honest with things. If it's necessary to reveal the truth, I guess it's better we tell it out soon, clarify and not let things drag. This would probably one of the best way out.

Tibits: Big Two

Big Two is also known as 大老二(Mandarin Chinese), Sho Tai Ti, Choh Dai Di, Dai Di (Cantonese), Cap Sa (Hokkien, used in Indonesia). In a game of Big Two, it's about both strategy and luck. While playing, we have to consider our cards and the opponent's cards. To win, simply clear all the cards on hand. One tip, keep the best for the last.


As for the valid combinations:

• Single cards
• Pair
• 5-card hand: Ranking from low to high, as follows :

(a)Straight : Any 5 cards in a sequence (but not all of the same suit). Rank is determined by the highest valued card with the suit used only as a tie-breaker. Therefore A-2-3-4-5 > 10-J-Q-K-A . The smallest straight is 3-4-5-6-7.
(b)Flush : Any 5 cards of the same suit (but not in a sequence). Rank is determined by highest value card and then by highest suit. In some popular variations, flushes are not permitted as a playable hand, and thus it is the lowest possible combination.
(c)Full House: a composite of a three-of-a-kind combination and a pair. Rank is determined by the value of the triple, regardless of the value of the pair.
(d)Four of a kind + One card (nicknamed King Kong, tiki, or Bomb): Any set of 4 cards of the same rank, plus any 5th card. Rank is determined by the value of the 4 card set, regardless of the value of the 5th card. It is also known as a poker. Straight Flush: A composite of the straight and flush: five cards in sequence in the same suit. Ranked the same as straights, suit being a tie-breaker. (Sometimes also played as a bomb or tiki, larger than a Four of a Kind)

Sometimes I wonder why I take the effort to post something on my blog everyday. Now, I found why and I'm going to present this in a group of pictures.

I write down diaries in my blog.

Bring out the colours in my life.

Show the liveliness in me.

Keep the cute pictures.

Remember the beautiful moments

Reach out to my friends

Share the sad moments.

And I'll try to spread positive energy to my friends when I'm happy.

Once again, thanks for reading the blog and hope you enjoyed the presentation (:

Mornings :)

Yawns. Slept late and woke up early today. First thing I saw was my dad practicing dance moves in living room. The moves are funky and funny. I've never seen him being so 'alive' before. LOL! But I guess he has no choice but to do it, this thing is organised by his company. Next, I went to poke my mum while she's asleep. As usual she looks so cute. Took the chance to chat with her too. Laughed quite a bit. Also motivated someone to study for elective history, hope he does well for the exams. Maybe I should pray for him too. Hahas. Today's morning started exceptionally good. Going for breakfast soon!

Tibits: Smiley

Smiley, smiley face, or happy face, (☺/☻) is a stylized representation of a smiling human face, commonly occurring in popular culture.  In today’s world, where a large chunk of communication is being carried out through a digital medium, reading another persons emotions is not so simple. Psychologists state that 90% of communication between humans is non-verbal. Non-verbal communication is composed of gestures, facial expressions, distance between communicators, hand signals and everything that we notice that is not verbally communicated.
The psychology of smileys goes even deeper. The use of which smiley is being used is extremely deep. The particular smiley that one selects has a, for them, the best illustration of what they are trying to express. Why then is one smiley face better than the other? And in a similar situation, would the same smiley face be selected by different authors. The questions to these answers are currently being sought by psychologists but definitely gives us something to think about the next time we choose to place a smiley face or emoticon in our web conversations.
