for all those who really wanted to know why gays are born and not a choice of life
#####
As far as I know, male homosexuality in Drosophila and Homo sapiens is hypothesised to be controlled by 2 totally different genes. While male homosexuality in Drosophila is indeed discovered to be influenced by the FRU gene, human male homosexuality is more correctly linked to the HMS1 gene in the Xq28 locus. This makes a lot of sense - since gays practically do not reproduce, why is there still a stable number of gays in the society IF it's really genetic?
One thing we ALL have to note is that whatever phenotypic outcome, there must be a genetic and environmental influence. As all who have touched the least bit on genetics should know, phenotypic variance = genetic variance + environmental variance. Hence, a portion of the "no inheritance" claim is eliminated by the environmental portion.
As for the genetic portion, the gay gene is identified on Xq28 - locus number 28 on the long arm of X chromosome. Sex-linked, and inherited from the mother. Since this HMS1 only takes effects on males, it has no effects on the mother. The mother is still straight but the son is gay.
Scientists studying the HMS1 allele also proposed that male homosexuality is actually part of nature's means to increase birth rate. HMS1 does not produce a protein signalling for male-male attraction but stimulates male attraction. If it's expressed in a female, she'll be more fertile, more attracted to males and hence, totally straight. When expressed in males, it prompts attraction to males instead of females, hence male homosexuality. As such, the HMS1 gene actually is NOT the same as the FRU gene which is specific to homosexuality. HMS1 is meant for increased female HETEROSEXUALITY which, in heritance to a male offspring, becomes a primer to male homosexuality.

Those We Love the Best
It's been said that it's often the ones we love whom we hurt the most. Paradoxical, but plausible, given how easy it is to hurt our loved ones.
We are often gracious, tolerant and accommodating towards casual friends and acquaintances, even people we hardly know. That could be because we want to maintain a positive impression, in view of possible future collaboration or aid. It also could be because we don't wish to appear boorish, or because we are fearful of negative reactions.
Our loved ones though, are often not so fortunate. Because we are certain of their love for us, we tend to abuse that love and take it for granted. We may do selfish things that bring them distress or use harsh language when we're upset because we know that they will probably bear it and forgive us. Or we may not express our love enough or spend little quality time with our loved ones because we assume that they'll always be there.
But our loved ones feel pain and neglect as keenly as any one of our friends and colleagues. Even more so, since it is someone they love who is dealing out such thoughtless afflictions. And like everyone else, they may not be around for the rest of our lives.
This is a poem written by an unknown author, about the disturbing reality of how we treat the ones we love.
They say the world is round,
Yet I often think it's square,
So many little hurts we get
From corners here and there;
But there's one truth in life I've found
While journeying East and West,
The only folks we really wound
Are those we love the best.
We flatter those we scarcely know,
We please the fleeting guest,
And deal full many a thoughtless blow
To those we love the best.

Horoscope June 2005, Scorpio
If you have plans to travel abroad, avoid temptations or flings as it might turn out negative. Spending on an exotic getaway trip or taking up a new hobby with your loved one will be ideal. Watch your spending though as such indulgences could burn a hole in your wallet. Tell your loved one how much you appreciate their being here with you, you might be surprised how much your words mean to them.

i can't stand it. i can't stand self-censorship because i hate to be controlled. NOBODY CONTROLS ME but sadly i am being controlled and manipulated. everytime i want to blog i have to hold back. but i don't want to hold back. if i don't blog i feel miserable. but if i blog, i feel miserable. what's with this whole fucking issue anyway? don't like what you see, don't see. it is so simple with the web. NOBODY FORCED YOU TO READ MY WEBPAGE. if you didn't click on a link, or purposefully typed my webpage on the address bar, you wouldn't be here.
GO AWAY!
GO AWAY!

you would have thought that people working in diplomatic positions would have wiser choice of their language:
Speaking to the press after Singaporean boy and his cousins were lost in malaysia, the sultan of pahang noted that "The children told [them] they were not eating but drinking stream water. At night they got together, hugging one another, loving one another and saying their prayers."
RIGHT.......

WE MUST NOT LET OUR PUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATORS HAVE THIER WAY. we shall all boycott the public transport service on july 1st. it maybe a few cents, but a few cents will eventually accumulate to alot, especially since their profit was record high EVER in the past year, can you imagine what they will do when they start making losses?
why do they compare singapore bus fares with london fares and to make it more deceiving they make it look as if londoners have it more expensive, but we forget the londoners earn their dough in pounds and medical bills are free!!!!!
COME LETS ALL BOYCOTT AND NOT GO TO WORK/SCHOOL/WHEREVER ON JULY 1st on the account that it is too expensive. if we all do it together the consumers will win. how can we let public transport be privatised. i mean they can charge $4 per trip and we still would have no choice but to go public.

all you PC users have now been infected by a virus because of your absolutely stupidity not to use a macintosh, and i was happening to be using my brother's disgusting pc. i have no idea how to fixed it, but my previous mail happen to contain a virus and it has generated email to every single on of you. so now you silly pc users should switch to a mac or format your comp or i really don't know what is gonna happen.
if the world's department of defense like australia, usa n nasa and part of SAF, and all the IT heads i've encountered in airforce, my sec school, my current school prefers and/or have used mac for their servers and all because of its stability and its ZERO virus, its time to change!
I HATE ALL PC USERS. ALL OF YOU ARE FUCKED UP STUPID ASSHOLES. IF YOU ARE GOING TO SWITCH THEN SMART ON YOU AND I LOVE YOU. BUT IF FOR 1 SECOND YOU THINK PC IS GOOD AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. THEN I CURSE YOU, LIKE HOW 7 OF MY FRIENDS HAD EVERYTHING THEY CHERISHED WIPED OUT OF THIER COMPUTER IN 3 MONTHS. THEN I CURSE YOU, LIKE HOW MY FRIEND LOST HIS MONEY BECAUSE SOMEONE SENT A SPYWARE N STOLE HIS INTERNET BANKING PASSWORD. I CURSE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU PC USERS

i apologise to all my regular readers for not posting anything in quite awhile. well it has been a very busy few weeks. too many things to do, too tired, and most often when i finally have the time, i am left with little or no energy to blog or to even give some minor updates.
well i just finished my stint as a relief teacher and i am now working as a technical assistant in the same school. had the best time in the school. the colleagues were very helpful, i had the grestest students. i really did loved it there.
well other than that? nothing to much to update now. other than the wondering. wondering about how pragmatic humans can be. how when one person is attached, he would make sure, and even go at lengths to make sure that another couple is asked to go out together; but when said person becomes single, said person goes at length to avoid going out with couples, resulting in severe inconvenience. and it is so odd when one declares that he has given up hope on his friends when he's attached but when he's single, suddenly they are the bestest of friends again.
which is why like i always said, we have to make time for our friends. even if it is little time, we have to let them know we care. we don't have to be physically going out every weekend, but at least we keep in contact. less we declare all our friends to be hopeless.
anyhow dearest colin met up with me yesterday, and though we were both exhausted, we had a great time catching up. over the years, i realised how i always taken colin for granted sometimes. but now, looking back at all the old times, we survived a lot of things. silly quarrels, silly arguments and all. thank you!

after the whole woohaa about blogs and all the legal stuff associated with it. i thought i would just say a few things before i dig my head back into the exam scripts. firstly i owe nobody any apology. if you do not like what you see in my blog, get the fuck out of here. i will always type with asterisk so as not to implicate any organisation. i shall complain at will and bitch at will. but it will be good old general bitching.
i can't imagine the next day our "gahmen" decides to "suuu" (*crosses finger and hopes only people who needs to understand will) some scholar because his diary had some personal complains. its like, i can just imagine the reason "a diary can be read by anyone who has broken into your house, or invited and we need to protect the reputation of sillypore. so because of that, you shall not write or talk or think anything that might defame or sillypore nation."
i mean like duh, the website was password protected, just as hackers can hack, burglars can break into your house, steal your diary and tell the whole world that every sillyporean with a diary actually writes horrible stuff about sillypore!
off to marking, hoping to teach the next generation of sillyporeans how to be a better sillyporean (in my context)
