Lucky Number Se7en

hey!!..last friday, we watched a movie in class- (rat race) it was damn funny


POSTED 2001-08-17 | PRINT

BY LARRY CARROLL | A review of Rat Race


The film begins with Donald Sinclair (John Cleese), a wealthy casino magnate who is desperate for a new way to entertain his highest rollers. He comes up with the idea to get a bunch of random people, tell them that there's two million dollars stuffed in a locker hundreds of miles away, give them each a key, and see who gets there first. It's as simple as that. "Go", says Sinclair to his guinea pigs after explaining the game to them. "What do you mean by 'go'?" they keep asking, thinking that the whole thing is a joke. After a few more minutes of civility, they realize this guy is for real, and then it becomes every man for themselves.

Comparisons are likely to be made to "...Mad, Mad World", and although there are many similarities, this is not a remake as many news sources seem to believe. The themes are definitely similar, but the relationship is like "The Mummy" films are to the "Indiana Jones" trilogy - yes, it's a rip-off, but it uses a great movie as a jumping-off point and then goes in its own, very entertaining, direction. As the characters head off in their various modes of transportation, each embark on their own little adventures, and every one of them is laugh-out-loud funny.

Owen Templeton (Gooding) is a football referee who made a bad call on national television and is now hated by every sportsfan in the country. Vera Baker (Goldberg) is being reunited with her straight-laced daughter Merrill (Lanei Chapman), who she gave up for adoption thirty years ago. Duane and Blaine Cody (Seth Green and Vince Vieluf) are dim-witted brothers who will stoop to anything in the name of a dollar. Nick Shaffer (Meyer) is a successful young lawyer who usually plays it safe, but is willing to risk it all after he meets a wild girl named Tracy (Amy Smart). Enrico Pollini (Rowan Atkinson) is a lunatic from Italy who has a tendency to act a lot like Mr. Bean (which is not necessarily a bad thing). And the Pear family (Jon Lovitz, Najimy and the kids) are on a family vacation to Vegas when suddenly Dad starts dragging them to New Mexico without telling them why.

This is an old-fashioned movie, and because of that, it seems very fresh and new. Whereas most comedies today involve one gross-out joke after another, "Rat Race" instead relies on the satisfaction of a joke that is set-up and then well executed. It reminded me of classic Marx Brothers, Three Stooges, Laurel & Hardy or Abbott & Costello in that this film earns it's laughs. Sure, there are some jokes that involve bodily functions here and there, but at no point in the film does anyone get a penis stabbed into the side of their head.

What is Public Communications?
Public communications is often thought of as public relations or mass communications. Public communication graduates communicate with a broad scope of people, through public speaking, TV, radio, newspaper, and every other form of mass media. Public communication is the idea of expressing an idea to many people at the same time. Public communications can center a small audience or a large crowd, a TV camera or a radio. All organizations, public and private, must maintain effective relationships with a wide variety of groups and individuals. These relationships require thoughtful use of print and spoken word.

Consequently, public communications students study how information is communicated to many segments of society, including consumers, government officials, community organizations, employees, investors and the media. They learn how to assist their organizations in structuring public opinion and in addressing the organization’s social responsibilities. They learn how to frame messages and communication strategies in ways that mutually benefit their organizations and the public.

What Kinds of Students Major in Public Communications?
Students who are not afraid of public speaking would be good in this field. Many students have a fear of public speaking, so not everyone is comfortable in this major. This is a field where students will be in constant interaction with people. Public relations people may have to perform "damage control." A student must consider the implications of dealing with people constantly.

hey, its been a while...anyway how many of you have goals in life that you want to achive? im sure almost all of you...it could be in education, sports, and many more aspects.

But do you ever think of achieving goals in a group??
Well, here are some tips

Factors Affecting Goal Levels. Three major factors come into play when setting group goals:

Prior performance of the group is perhaps the most powerful factor that influences where a goal level is set. Groups have a tendency to raise goal levels after successful performance and to lower them after a failure.

Other groups may also influence group members in selecting their goals. A rivalry between groups may cause group members to set unrealistically high goals for themselves.

Anticipated success or failure also plays a role in goal choice. Members who have a strong desire for group success will want to set goals that are difficult but not impossible to achieve. On the other hand, members who wish to avoid group failure are less likely to set goals of intermediate difficulty than to set goals at either extreme. Such groups prefer either easy goals (because the group is not likely to fail) or a very difficult goal (because failure at a difficult level is not threatening to them).
Team Goals. Teams are a special type of group. Setting team goals is especially important to the teams' success. In their book, Teaming Up, Darrel Ray and Howard Bronstein summed it up best when they said:

"Without goals which can be measured there is no team." Jon R. Katzenbach and Douglas K. Smith, authors of The Wisdom of Teams, provide a checklist that can help pinpoint trouble spots in the team or group goal setting process:

-Are the goals truly team goals or are they broader organizational goals or a leader's goals?

-Are they clear, simple, and measurable? If not measurable, are they verifiable?

-Are they realistic, as well as ambitious? Do they allow small wins along the way?

-do they call for a concrete set of team work products?

-Is their relative importance and priority clear to all members?

-Do all members agree with the goals, their relative importance, and the way in which their achievement will be measured?

-Do all members articulate the goals in the same way?

Author's note:
1. The ideas of posting constantly every week is not as 'cool' as previously thought.

Try this experiment.

Requirement: A very bad joke, a partner and a victim.

Procedure:
1. Go up to your victim.
2. Tell the bad joke to your victim.
3. Your partner should laugh at the joke (even though it does not make sense).
4. Wait for victim's reaction.

Hypotosis: If your victim is not the serious/blur kind and he/she is one who tries to blend it, he/she will laugh along as well.

Basically, most of people who can laugh will be conformed by your partner who is laughing. The person would think: 'I don't get the joke but I should have so I'll just laugh to be polite'. It is all under identity management and face-saving if not mistaken. He/She tries to uphold his dignity in the social group.

It's been long since my last post..sorry..Just been really busy with assignments and dance practices. Well, about a week ago i performed for my an anniversary dinner and dance. My friends and i practiced the same dance for 2 months. One dance was a cultural dance which was made up of bollywood,clasical indian, chinese fan dance, sabahan and sarawakian dance. The other dance was hairspray and grease-lightning (60s to 70s influenced dance songs). Throughout these 2 months of practice i learnt the importance of listening and communication.
Listening was really important because if we didn't listen carefully to instructions or to the choreographer......all hell would break loose. LOL...no lah...it would just take up more time to learn the steps and Uncle Eugene( the uncle incharge) would get irritated.hehehe Eventhough,it is really difficult to concentrate and listen all the time,I think as we get older we just HAVE to listen whether we like it or not.
Not only that but i learnt about communication. I learnt that communication is never one-way.There is no such thing as communication with yourself! Whenever someone 'communicates' he/she expects a response.
Alrighty, until next time. TATA!

Note: This really happen to me.

This is what I did right before I started to write this blog. I was going online to do my research for two of my assignments. 10 minutes later, my hand phone rang. I picked it up. The call is from a friend that I hadn't seen for more than two years. I was so shocked to hear from her because I wasn't that close to her. I'm close to her before we got separated into different classes. We were talking about the times when we were in high school. In some circumstances, the topic of high school history has changed back to present time. Questions like "Where to you study now?" and "How was life for you so far?" popped up when we were busy talking. I listened to her every word. She started to talk about her life in college and how she handles her problems in college. That time, I wasn’t really listening to her. I was happily clicking away on my laptop finding for my information while listening to the music. When she asked me a question, I just gave her a short response and she continued talking. While I was finding my information, I started to chat with my friends in MSN and also text messaging my other friend. I multitasked badly. Everything I did distracted me from listening to my friend talking.

This is an example of distraction. There are many reasons for poor listening. One of them is the situation above. This is media influences. I let the music fill my ears instead of carefully listening to my friend. There are also Physical noise involve such as clicking on my mouse and also typing on my keyboard.

And for that, I conclude that this post is written by:

hey people , im back, the last post was kinda screwed up, i had some bad feedbacks, okay but here is what i have

Culture variations can affect the way people communicate non-verbally. Actions that are not seen as offensive in your home country may be deemed so in foreign business ventures.Although there are many, the following five are the most important:



Immediacy and expressiveness---These demonstrate availability for communication. High immediacy cultures are called contact cultures, and are mostly located in warm-temperature areas like Arab countries. Low immediacy cultures are low-contact cultures, and are found in cool climates (most North European countries).





Individualism vs. Collectivism---Individualistic cultures are more remote and display less non-verbal communication. Collectivistic cultures stress cohesion as a group, and spend time in close proximity to one another.



Masculinity---Women in low-masculinity cultures show more synchrony in their movement than those in high-masculinity cultures.



Power distance---Research shows that high-power distance cultures tend to be more “untouchable,” tend to be more tense in subordinates’ body movement, tend to smile more for subordinates to appease superiors or to be polite, and tend to be more aware that vocal loudness may be offensive to others.



High and low context---Research has found that people in high context cultures tend to be more implicit in verbal codes, perceive highly verbal persons less attractive, tend to be more reliant on and tuned into non-verbal communication, and expect to have more non-verbal codes in communication.

HI ALL,

1) this really happened
2) the man could have caused an accident if i din break in time.

Yesterday when i was driving a long jalan university, on my way to church. Suddenly i saw this old man holding a walking stick walking across the main road. i quickly emergency break . i assume he is blind and just did not notice he was crossing the main road . i honk at him and wind down my window and shouted 'UNCLE YOU ARE WALKING ACROSS THE MAIN ROAD' in Cantonese. he quickly walk back.Despite me being angry at that time , i engage my double signal and went down my car. that time was quite early , not many cars so i just stop my car and went down to help him . he told me he heard the zebra crossing / pedestrian crossing sound from the traffic light or some sort .i guess he heard some thing else . after i lead him across . i just continue my journey.

During my journey, interpersonal communication came to my mind and i recall wat he told me and related to what i had learn in the 1 week of human com class.

Although this is just a short conversation, but it is also the form of communication between the blind old man and me.

Hi again,

Q: Have you ever seen a mime /a mime artist ?

For me, i just did few days ago when this mime team from Australia came to my church to perform. they really inspired me to write about miming.

WHAT IS ACTUALLY MIME ?

A mime is a performing art that involves body motion and gestures to act an story . A mime is very similar to silent comedy but it is not. A mime has a story line and a message to deliver to the audience and silent comedy only aims to make people laugh through random themes.


On the performance night, the whole hall was just silent for a whole hour and the spot light was on them . Everyone there understood what is being displayed without the need of speech and language. this is truly a non- verbal communication.

this is a video of a mime with a police man, i find it very funny. i dunno how to put link so please copy and paste .

Note:
1) Sorry for the late post

A few days ago, at HELP College, I discovered something very particularly funny. Two HELP Security guard "talking". They are not exactly talking but pointing here and there. The first guard point to the other side and the second guard nodded and point to the other side of the area. This is called non verbal. They uses hands gestures. For me, the first guard was ordering the second guard to do something in the area that the first guard is pointing. While the second guard pointed the other side as if to say "how about that area?".

In our lives, there are a lot of non-verbal communications. We see in movies everyday. Eye contacts, body language, facial expressions; these are all nonverbal communications. When you talk to people, you will eventually look at their eyes or facial expressions without us realizing. But non verbal communications are ambiguous. By facial expressions and hands gestures, it is not enough to understand what the person wants.

hey ppl!..sorry for the late post..anyway IM IN THE HOSPITAL DOIN THIS

I am totally in love with her, i am sure. never felt the feelings i feel for her about anyone else.We communicate very well and we spend time together.we beleve in each other that no one can break our trust.I promise i will never hurt her and i'll make her happy always i promise.

This is for you

When i look into your eyes
your the only one i need in my life
we've been through so much together
and i feel like I've known you forever

your the only one for me
i love you more than you'd ever know or see
i get a big rush when I'm with you
& i hope you feel the way that i do

from me: clement

so, lets get straight to the point!

Love Relationships
As you can see, some chemical reactions make it possible for us to find love attractions, but once the initial attraction is set into motion, how can we parlay that magnetism into love relationships? Mere chemistry isn't enough to bond two people together for a life time. Lasting love relationships require something far more tangible.

Respect
Respect is a crucial part of any love relationship. If your partner isn't someone you can admire for his/her values, morals, and conduct, how can you truly say you are in love? Respect must also be a two-way street. It's very hard to feel loved and give real love in return if your partner is disrespectful towards you and your self-esteem is under siege.

Honesty
A lack of honesty can be a real deal breaker for love relationships. If one partner can't count on the other to be truthful about his/her feelings, words, actions, or whereabouts, respect dies and love soon follows. Honesty, couched in sensitivity, is necessary for any relationship to remain healthy.

Opening yourself
Opening yourself to a relationship so fully that you actually lose your mind is a dangerous, scary and exhilarating thing. It can be wonderful. But passion isn't enough. There comes a time when that bright passion that carried you along fades a little. Sometimes, it just vanishes. Where are you then? If all that your relationship consisted of was big passionate moments, you might start to feel differently. Passion doesn't have to be about big moments, like making love on a joyride. Passion can simply come when you give your SO (signification other) a backrub when they're tired without asking.

Selflessness
Love relationships sometimes require putting your partner's needs before your own, especially when it's not easy to do so. Simple consideration for your partner's feelings and a little compromise now and then can go a long way toward keeping love intact.

Communication
Communication is another one of the key elements of a successful relationship. You not only need to express yourself honestly and respectfully, you have to be able to really listen to what your partner is saying to you too. When you begin to tune each other out, trouble isn't far behind.

If you work to keep these elements a vital part of your lives together, your relationship has a much greater chance for survival.

Keeping Love Fresh
It's good to finally reach the comfort zone with your partner where you no longer have to worry about how you look at every moment of the day. It's okay if you don't feel like being witty and entertaining 24/7. Your partner doesn't want to have to be "on" every moment either.

However, there is a difference between comfort and complacency. Complacency is the first step toward apathy. When you no longer put the effort into making yourself attractive to your partner, how long can you expect your partner to remain interested? You both have to care enough about the relationship to put in some extra effort from time to time.

Why not:

-Surprise your partner with a romantic lunch.
-Get a hair cut and a facial. Spruce up and remind your partner why he/she foundyou attractive in the first place.
-Leave love notes where they can be found throughout the day: on the medicine cabinet, under the bed pillow, in a box of his/her favorite breakfast cereal. Such an easy thing to do, but the gesture is huge.
-Rent your partner's favorite romantic movie and share a bottle of wine.
-Take an impromptu drive in the country on a beautiful day.
-Go back to bed and snuggle on a rainy day.
-Hold hands in public again.
None of these things are difficult to do, and yet they could mean so much to your relationship. [edit]Conclusion
Love is a gift that requires a great deal of care and nurturing in order to thrive. If you're lucky enough to be in a love relationship, don't take it for granted.

1. I should write this before I forget. I almost did.
2. I will put more pictures in my next post... maybe...

Today, I had a miscommunication incident. This happened at MidValley MegaMall. I was looking for the hidden handicap parking (because the original ones were blocked off), so I decided to ask this particular security guard who spoke Malay with a strong accent which I really can't distinguish (probably from another state). I could not understand what he said and I guess he could not understand what I said either. So, with the help of some props (walking cane and pointing to my legs), I managed to convince him to let me cut some rules and park at this parking spot but that's another story.

And after that, there was a stupid miscommunication between the 'Keluar' signs and me which made me go around in circles before leaving. That's another story as well.

So when you undergo these kinds of situation, prepare yourself as you'll get slightly frustrated. Also, get ready some props and learn some universal sign language. It took me twenty minutes before I could park.

Okay..my previous post was about eye contact. Well i guess this time it's gonna be about body language. Body language is very powerful.It can instantly tell you what the other person thinks of you.

First is the bored body language.For example, when your friend is telling you a really boring story. I think he will realise that he is boring you..because when your bored, you get distracted really easily.I say this because you tend to look anywhere and at everything(suddenly everything else looks interesting). When you're bored you also tend to repeat actions...like snap your finger,shake your legs, and tap your fingers on the table.

Another is the romantic body language. Leaning is one of it, when you lean towards another person and the lean towards you..it definitely says something..and that something is good. Also, displaying is an example of romantic body language.If a person displays his or hers attractive body parts this might be a sign that the person is trying to attract you. Most women but not all expose their breasts,neck,bottom and legs.Most men expose their muscles, arms ,legs and crotch.

Yea,so body language is very important.It sends signals..and trust me you don't wanna send the wrong signal to the other person especially people of the opposite sex and people who you need to respect.

1. Been lazy.

Communication is a funny thing. And it gets even funnier when you lack knowledge. As my lecturer always says, "Meanings are in people, not words." Words are just the medium in which the symbol travels. What makes the meanings, apart from the words, is:

• The situation
• The people
• The culture
  
• The knowledge
• The tone
• The actions

Testing testing....

This is my first post so please bear with me : )



Okay..now where do i start?



Yea, so last weekend i went for the leadership camp.One of our activities was to complete an obstacle course.BLINDFOLDED.This is when i realised to importance of communication skills .During the obstacle course we had to rely on our senses.However, the most important thing was communication.At one point, all of us were talking at the same time. One was saying 'GO STRAIGHT', the other was saying 'TURN LEFT'....so as you can tell this was a little confusing.After that, we realised that the key to completing the obstacle course was COMMUNICATION...Duhh...Once we realised that we needed to communicate, we started doing that.

Okay okay...so what is Communication?

According to Wikipedia: Communication is the process of conveying information from a sender to a receiver with the use of a medium in which the communicated information is understood the same way by both sender and receiver. It is a process that allows organisms to exchange information by several methods.

There are many types of communication.For example: intrapersonal communication, dyadic communication, small group communication, public communication, and mass communication.

Over the next few post, i might blog more on the different types of communication. As for now,this is it. So long and goodnight my friends!

When you come to the realization that interpersonal relationships are based on needs then the steps following become simple and effective

To understand what a relationship is, how to bring one about, how to enhance one, and why relationships are diminished and lost, one must understand the power of a person’s needs.

The most important things in the world, to us, are the things we believe that we need. Needs affect opinions, attitudes, and viewpoints. Generally we’re more aware of unfulfilled needs than the ones that are consistently met.

Fundamental life needs in particular are so commonly accepted that we usually overlook them. No one is aware of the air breathed, the ground walked on, the water drunk, and yet these are the needs we miss most when gone.

The key to a good interpersonal relationships is simple once you understand the role that needs play in making a relationship weak, moderate, average, or strong. Let’s give the word relationship a different definition from the dictionaries, for unlocking the meaning of the word often leads to greater understanding.

Here is the word defined: A good relationship is a mutual filling of needs.

When two people have strong needs and each fills the other’s needs, there is a powerful interpersonal relationship. When two people have weak needs and each fills the other’s needs, there is a mild relationship. When either person has strong needs and those needs are not being filled, there is a poor relationship. When either has weak needs and those needs are not being filled, there is a mild relationship, but one leaning more to the negative side than the positive. When a weak need is not being filled, there isn’t much caring either way.

To enhance any relationship is simple: find out what the other person needs and then fill that need. To end a relationship the reverse is true. Find out what the other person needs and keep those needs unfilled.

It’s as simple as that. The great principle of correspondence states, “As above, so below, as below so above.” When you know the key to happiness you have also learned the key to unhappiness. Without realizing it, when you know how to be a failure, you also know how to be a success.

When you are successful at failing in interpersonal relationships, you also know how to be successful at succeeding in relationships, once the concept is understood. An individual who fails at a relationship is a person who neglects the needs of the partner. So it would follow that the first step to a successful relationship is to determine what needs the other person has. It is also vital to understand your own needs so that you can help the other person in the relationship to fill your needs.

Unfortunately not only do the great majority of people fail to see or to understand the other person’s needs, they do not understand their own. Children have wonderful relationships with their parents as long as their great needs are being filled. When the needs are unfulfilled, the relationship changes and problems arise. As the child grows, needs change; it is essential that the parent recognize the changes. As it is with the child to the parent, so it is with the parent to the child.

When you ask, “How can I help better this relationship?” you are asking the wrong question. To get the correct answer we have to ask the right question. A better question would be, “How can I fill this person’s needs?”

We now come to that fundamental question with regard to a good interpersonal relationship. “How do I discover and recognize needs? Needs in myself as well as needs in others.” It is sometimes easier to recognize another person’s needs; our own needs are often hidden by fear, guilt, and programming.

The way to recognize needs in other people is by their response to you. When you do or say something and you get a positive response, you are well on the way to need recognition. As it is in others, so it is in you. What is it you respond to in a positive manner? What do you feel good about getting and about doing? What are you totally guiltless about? What can you do with complete confidence and fearlessness? What emotional scene can you manipulate without fear or guilt? Look in these areas for your needs and you will in all probability find your answers.

When using our methods for need recognition and relationship enhancement, the land of alpha will open you to a good deal more information than a simple thoughtful moment at the Beta level of consciousness. As previously stated, our own needs are often hidden by fear, guilt, and past programming. The techniques and exercises covered in the Power of Self Mind Control will allow you to identify your needs and show you why you are who you are in regards to interpersonal relationships. Your effectiveness in influencing and dealing with people will greatly increase with the power of self mind control.

Author's note:
1. I have been busy and have not had time to do a proper blogpost. I do this out of work, not out of passion.

Hey, I have had lots of assignments to do. That will be my excuse, a weak one, but an excuse nonetheless.

Today, I'll be relating 'Relationship Development' and relating it with an analogy. The analogy I will be using is my blog and I.

Knapp's Relationship Escalation Model

Initiation
This stage is very short, sometimes as short as 10-15 seconds. In this stage, interactants are concerned with making favorable impressions on each other. They may use standard greetings or observe each other's appearance or mannerisms.

So, Mr. M, our Human Communication lecturer asks us to start up our blog. This would be the initiation process. I looked around through Google to find the perfect blog. And every blog publishing system (Like blogspot.com or livejournal.com) would try to make an impression on me.

Experimenting
In the next stage, individuals ask questions of each other in order to gain information about them and decide if they wish to continue the relationship. "Many relationships progress no further than this point".

This is where I begin looking through FAQS (Frequently Asked QuestionS). The blog and I communicate through the only medium we know possible which is through the Internet browsers. We ask each other questions and after I know blogspot (I shall call blogspot 'she') can and I are alike, I start my blog.

Intensifying
Self-disclosure becomes more common in the intensifying stage. The relationship becomes less formal, the interactants begin to see each other as individuals, and statements are made about the level of commitment each has to the relationship.

When blogspot and I acknowledge each other, I start to be less formal with her. I begin to 'skin' her with the theme which suits me the most. I start putting in more application and she will suit my need.

Integrating
The individuals become a pair in the integrating stage. They begin to do things together and, importantly, others come to see them as a pair. A shared relational identity starts to form in this stage.

I will start posting on her as well, and put pretty pictures there. We do things together and when people say 'LuckyNumberSe7en", they will indirectly know that it is related to me. We both are one.

Bonding
During the bonding stage, a formal, sometimes legal, announcement of the relationship is made. Examples include a marriage, "best friend" ritual, or business partnership agreement. Few relationships reach this level.

Uh... I don't think I can be married with a blog but this stage is when I start posting posts filled with creamy information and makes tons of sense. I create a logo for the blog and place it there to show that it is officially mine.

Knapp's Relationship Termination Model

Differentiating
In this stage, partners begin to stress the "me" instead of the "we." In other words, the individuals begin to assert their independence. They may develop different hobbies or activities. The relationship may continue to dissolve, or this stage may be a warning sign that the couple needs to address their relationship status.

When I get more assignments for other classes, my interest in my blog begin to dissolve. I begin to concentrate on other studies as well and my blog feels jealous.

Circumscribing
Communication between the couple diminishes during this stage. They tend to avoid certain topics of discussion. Outwardly, the couple appears normal. At this stage, attempts can be made to discuss the relationship and return it to a positive state.

When my post begin to become less interesting and more stale, blog feels unhappy about it as I tend to avoid certain topics or that it put less interest in my blog.

Stagnating
During the stagnating stage, the individuals avoid discussing the relationship because they think they know what the other will say. Others begin to take notice that something is wrong.

When I begin to post less frequently, people will notice there is a difference in styles and such. They will know something is wrong with my blog and I.

Avoiding
The pair begins to physically separate themselves during the avoiding stage. The individuals try to reduce the opportunities for discussion.

I try to avoid the blog and stop going to it. I remove its links from another other blogs/websites I have and when people talk about it, I deny everything.

Terminating
This is the final stage of the relationship. Termination may come naturally, such as at the end of the semester when roommates move out, or arbitrarily, through divorce. Termination of the relationship can occur positively or negatively.

This is when I shut down the blog but I can't do that now because it is not only my blog.

The end.

That's how blog and I started and potentially end. Uh... It's just an analogy, I do not take my blog THAT seriously.

Eugene.

PS: Seriously.

hi again ,

Notice
1) the below content is according to what i think
2) sorry this post came late

lets start with the picture below, look at the comic and try thinking what they are trying to say.



In the picture , we can clearly see that person B misunderstands person A when he say
"your round".
what person A is really trying to say is this round is the time for B to pay for the beverage and not saying that he is fat or round in this case.


this is the 2nd comic , take a look.....
from this comic, we can see that the guy misunderstands the fortune teller's services. instead of palm (hand ) reading , he thinks that she is offering palm tree reading ..... understand ?



in this comic, the rain deers simply misunderstand Santa clause's orders to a certain address and instead they went to the wrong place ......... hilarious right ?

hey ,
Have you ever notice that a smile is not just a simple smile ?
Different smile can mean different emotions and brings different meanings.

In physiology, a smile is a facial expression formed by flexing those muscles most notably near both ends of the mouth.

Among humans, it is customarily an expression denoting pleasure, happiness, or amusement, but can also be an involuntary expression of anxiety, in which case it can be known as a grimace.
