Silence

What is silence? According to dictionary, silence is the absence of sound. I guess most of us done this before. We did it without notice almost anytime and anywhere. Why we silence? Have you think about it? Silence do have its own functions in certain circumstances. What are they?

Sometimes we silence because we want to give ourselves a moment to think and prepare for something. Before we spell out a sentence, we need to think and prepare for it. For example, when a boss scolding a staff, he will need to think and prepare the sentence to reduce the harmfulness to the minimum towards the staff. During this second, the boss silence. Silence is also a type of behavior or response to personal anxiety. We will automatically become silence when we are nervous.

This is because noise will make our though become worse, so we need to keep quiet in order to calm down ourselves.

Prevent communication is also one of the functions of silence. For those people you really don’t like to talk with, your silence take place to prevent unnecessary arguments with them especially in front of public. Have you come with the situation that when you tell your friend something but he or she didn’t give you any response? In this situation, your friend may have nothing to comment or say. We do have met this situation before, don’t you?

Sometimes we are not feel like talking. In this condition, why don’t we just silence for a while?

Today's topic is on FOOTBALL.

Remember in the previous World Cup when the controversy and rumours of Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal successfully helped sent off Wayne Rooney of the England squad who also happens to be his then clubmate?

Apparently, C.Ronaldo winked to the bench after the referee shows the red card to Rooney. Many fans and critics speculated that Ronaldo had every intention to reduce the England to ten players and help his team to move on to the next round. If you watch the video, it is towards the middle that you would see it.



The possible meaning behind the winking could probably meant "I did it" or "You are most welcome". Whatever it was, the wink was very ambigous as it can be anything and everything. Therefore, we have to be very careful with our actions and be ready to accept the consequences of our actions. In other words, we must be concious of our body language at all times.

Honesty Is Hardly Ever Heard

The song above was released in 1978 and is one of my mum’s favourite songs. So yes, most of you may not even been born yet and you might not recognize the song or the artist.

I posted up the song because I was attracted by its lyrics and the truthfulness of the words used. It’s hard for me to choose a favourite sentence because there are so many of them to choose from. So I’m picking two paragraphs of the song.

I can always find someone
to say they sympathize.
If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.
But I don't want some pretty face
to tell me pretty lies.
All I want is someone to believe.

Honesty is such a lonely word.
Everyone is so untrue.
Honesty is hardly ever heard.
And mostly what I need from you.

The song is about how hard it is to get people to be honest. Its hard to believe people and gain their trust. People often lies than telling the truth most of the time, and so honesty is hardly ever heard. I can somehow relate to this song because I have trust issue and I don’t share my stories easily to people. It’s hard for me to open up.

Communication may not only be express through conversation or body language, it can also be conveying through songs, lyrics and singing. The song is a good example how one person is expressing his opinion on how it is hard to find honesty.

Everyone Has It's Faults

Stereotyping is what we do best. We can’t run from judging people, even the most innocent person do critic people around them.

For example, people stereotype other people by the colour of their skin. Stereotyping is not necessarily a bad thing because when we choose to talk about basketball with a black man, we consider them to be the superior player in those sports.

Though there is some stereotyping that is negative. For example like the judgement that people have towards women. They expect women to be the one who stayed at home cooking and cleaning the house while the men go out to earn money. But in fact it can go the other way around or maybe both of them can work.

STARE INTO ME EYES !!

Hey all ! It is the mid-autumn festival today. Happy Mooncake Festival all !

So anyway, I was thinking. The mooncakes these look real small. Small as in TINY. My dad brought home one just now. I was just staring at it, mystified by the size and shape as well as the precise decoration on it. It is small enough to just eat it whole in one bite.

As I continue to stare at it, my mum was looking at me. We made eye contact for a moment and laughed out loud. She just knew my all too well. I wanted to eat it but I can't. It was my dad's mooncake. Haha. :)

So yeah. Eye contact says alot. It is such an important non-verbal communication. It CANNOT lie. Therefore, next time when you suspect someone is lying to you, STARE at his/her eyes. They will tell you the answer you need and want to know.

Tata for now..
