<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;there was a family who lived in a country called kuba. this family had four members - a dad, a mom, a teenaged daughter and a young son. life was good, until one day the father was targeted by the police for having done wrong to the ruler of the country - feedahl kastrou. so the family fled,&#x26;nbsp;with only the clothes on their back.&#x26;nbsp;and they were chased through the streets of kuba. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;now, this country-city kuba was an island surrounded by the sea. across this sea was another south ehmeriqan country - highly urbanised and metropolitan. it so happened that the family in this story ran until they reached the edge of the kuba-land. in front of them was the sea that separated kuba from its neighbour. the waters of this sea were a clear&#x26;nbsp;azure blue, and its bottom fine golden grains of sand. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;the family realised that there was no place to go except to seek refuge in the nieghbouring country. but to do that, they had to cross this sea. they could see sky-scrapers and other gleaming buildings rising high up into the sky across them.&#x26;nbsp;gathering up their courage, they waded into the waters, their feet treading lightly upon the sands. their energy was sapped the further out they swam, and the waters of the sea had reached neck-level. being young, both the daughter and the son could still go on, but the father suffered a cramp in his right leg. his wife supported him, but could not undertake his whole weight. however,&#x26;nbsp;both parents made their children swim on.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;night had fallen...and daughter and mother found that they had finally reached the banks of this new country. however, both the father and the son were nowhere to be seen. with heavy hearts, mother and daughter climbed out of the waters, sopping wet and with their clothes plastered to their skins. they walked down the streets of this new south ehmeriqan country. it was bustling with activity - pumping music filled the night and people were engaging in various activities. mother and daughter took in the lively atmosphere, searching for someplace they could spend the night. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;they found their way up to a little 3-room&#x26;nbsp;apartment in one of the dingy flats overlooking the busy alleys. this apartment was crowded with people who seemed to be having some sort of party. both&#x26;nbsp;the television and the casette player were blasting. feeling somewhat out of place, mother and daughter hid under the alcove leading to one of the bedrooms and peered out to see what the commotion was about. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;the daughter noticed that there were a few very pretty girls around her age&#x26;nbsp;who were&#x26;nbsp;giggling and talking loudly. they seemed to be waiting for something to happen. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;suddenly, the pretty girls shrieked and rushed inside the room the daughter and her mother were in. bemused, the daughter stepped slightly out into the open. some one new had arrived in the apartment - with a train of people following after. the daughter knew that this new arrival was a prince, and that he had come to pick his bride from the pretty girls. embarrassed&#x26;nbsp;of her own straggly hair and clammy skin, the daughter adjusted the bath towel she had wrapped around her. she wished the girls hadn&#x26;#39;t run inside her room.&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;to her shock, the prince walked towards her and asked her if she would like to dance. &#x26;quot;but i don&#x26;#39;t know how to dance!&#x26;quot; the daughter gasped. &#x26;quot;its alright. i can teach you,&#x26;quot; he replied, took her hand and led her out into the living room. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;there was a catchy tune playing. the prince&#x26;nbsp;held on to the daughter&#x26;#39;s hand as he told her the steps to the dance, wihch involved&#x26;nbsp;skips and whirling around in circles with each other&#x26;#39;s partner.&#x26;nbsp;feeling very self-consicous, the daughter allowed herself to be twirled around by the prince.&#x26;nbsp;after a few rounds, however, she became more sure of the steps and started to enjoy herself, her face flushing with exertion as well as pleasure of being able to dance with the prince.&#x26;nbsp;the prince&#x26;nbsp;caught her smiling and smiled back, and they both continued dancing with the rest of the people clapping and laughing along.&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;it was bright and sunny the next morning.&#x26;nbsp;the daughter went to the windows of the flat and peered out. an expanse of fluffly white clouds lay before her, and she realised that they were actually very high above the ground. the prince came up behind her and the two of them looked out at the horizon together. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;suddenly, a loud hammering sounded on the door. the police of kuba had alerted their counterparts in this country and they had traced the escaped family to this apartment. hurridly, the daughter explained her predicament to the prince. he gave her a pale pink balloon and wrestled to open the glass window. &#x26;quot;don&#x26;#39;t let go of the balloon&#x26;quot; he cautioned. &#x26;quot;i&#x26;#39;ll join you later, be careful..there&#x26;#39;s a strong wind outside and it could blow you off course.&#x26;quot;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;quot;bang!&#x26;quot; and the door was forced open. policemen rushed inside the apartment. the prince finally managed to open the lock on the window. he would stay behind and try to stall the police. the daughter squeezed through the window, looking worried. &#x26;quot;i&#x26;#39;ll come for you&#x26;quot;, the prince reassured her. &#x26;quot;be careful of the wind!&#x26;quot; &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;a strong gust of wind swept across as the daughter lept into the air. she felt herself falling down and gasped the prince&#x26;#39;s name, but the wind carried her away. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;the daughter floated&#x26;nbsp;on the wind, and it brought her some distance before allowing her&#x26;nbsp;to touch down on the clouds.&#x26;nbsp;looking around, she realised that she was in some kind of fairground. there were stalls erected on the clouds, each one a different shade of pink. bemused, she deicded to walk around and explore, her left hand firmly grasping the string of the balloon&#x26;nbsp;her prince had given her. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;it was a wonderful, albeit slightly surreal fairground. the atmosphere was light, and the daughter would have enjoyed herself if not for her constant thinking of her father and the prince. walking on, she came across a bare oak tree with only the trunk left. suddenly, her father&#x26;#39;s face appeared on the tree. her brother, too, appeared next to her. overjoyed, the daughter rushed to hug the tree. &#x26;quot;don&#x26;#39;t come closer! i&#x26;#39;m poisonous!&#x26;quot; her father shouted in warning. thoroughly perplexed by all these happenings, the daughter and her brother sat down on some high stools and began talking to their father. the daughter wished her mother were here to see that the father was safe and sound. she wondered how they could rescue their father. at the same time, she wished her prince were by her side. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p align=&#x22;center&#x22;&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;hr /&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p align=&#x22;center&#x22;&#x3E;i hope the daughter gets to be with the prince in the end&#x3C;/p&#x3E;</description>

<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;huixian said that to me recently. i think it must have been when i was at her house watching friends. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;but its true! i do! not quite sure when it started...secondary school? upper sec? yeah...sometime around then. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;why? &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;ol&#x3E;&#x3C;li&#x3E;&#x3C;div&#x3E;i read in a newspp that eating slowly makes you full faster...mebbe its some psychological thing. like if u gobble and shuffle everything into your mouth within minutes you&#x27;ll be like&#xC2;&#xA0;&#x22;harh? finished liao? so fast?&#x22; and you can&#x27;t feel that you&#x27;ve actually eaten anything so you end up always wanting more. so the opposite applies.&#x3C;/div&#x3E;&#x3C;/li&#x3E;&#x3C;li&#x3E;&#x3C;div&#x3E;this way, you get to &#x3C;i&#x3E;really&#x3C;/i&#x3E; enjoy, and &#x3C;i&#x3E;taste&#x3C;/i&#x3E;, your food. each burst of flavour. every texture. joy. &#x3C;/div&#x3E;&#x3C;/li&#x3E;&#x3C;li&#x3E;&#x3C;div&#x3E;less gas = less burping&#x3C;/div&#x3E;&#x3C;/li&#x3E;&#x3C;li&#x3E;&#x3C;div&#x3E;more, &#x3C;i&#x3E;ahem&#x3C;/i&#x3E;, demure and feminine. hurhur.&#x3C;/div&#x3E;&#x3C;/li&#x3E;&#x3C;/ol&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;so that is how it has been for the past few years. and i have no complaints. &#x3C;i&#x3E;(though sometimes abit paise when everyone is waiting for u to finish lah)&#x3C;/i&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;u know what? someday when i am older i should join that &#x27;slow-eaters club&#x27;. can&#x27;t quite remember the actual name. epicurean something? oh but it is so exclusive! by invitation only? and friggin expensive...but they eat darned slowly! hurhur...&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;i should go out with del sometime and have lunch. it&#x27;d be fun....heh&#x3C;/p&#x3E;</description>

<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;huixian said that to me recently. i think it must have been when i was at her house watching friends. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;but its true! i do! not quite sure when it started...secondary school? upper sec? yeah...sometime around then. &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;why? &#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;ol&#x3E;&#x3C;li&#x3E;&#x3C;div&#x3E;i read in a newspp that eating slowly makes you full faster...mebbe its some psychological thing. like if u gobble and shuffle everything into your mouth within minutes you&#x26;#39;ll be like&#x26;nbsp;&#x26;quot;harh? finished liao? so fast?&#x26;quot; and you can&#x26;#39;t feel that you&#x26;#39;ve actually eaten anything so you end up always wanting more. so the opposite applies.&#x3C;/div&#x3E;&#x3C;/li&#x3E;&#x3C;li&#x3E;&#x3C;div&#x3E;this way, you get to &#x26;lt;i&#x26;gt;really&#x26;lt;/i&#x26;gt; enjoy, and &#x26;lt;i&#x26;gt;taste&#x26;lt;/i&#x26;gt;, your food. each burst of flavour. every texture. joy. &#x3C;/div&#x3E;&#x3C;/li&#x3E;&#x3C;li&#x3E;&#x3C;div&#x3E;less gas = less burping&#x3C;/div&#x3E;&#x3C;/li&#x3E;&#x3C;li&#x3E;&#x3C;div&#x3E;more, &#x26;lt;i&#x26;gt;ahem&#x26;lt;/i&#x26;gt;, demure and feminine. hurhur.&#x3C;/div&#x3E;&#x3C;/li&#x3E;&#x3C;/ol&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;so that is how it has been for the past few years. and i have no complaints. &#x26;lt;i&#x26;gt;(though sometimes abit paise when everyone is waiting for u to finish lah)&#x26;lt;/i&#x26;gt;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;u know what? someday when i am older i should join that &#x26;#39;slow-eaters club&#x26;#39;. can&#x26;#39;t quite remember the actual name. epicurean something? oh but it is so exclusive! by invitation only? and friggin expensive...but they eat darned slowly! hurhur...&#x3C;/p&#x3E;&#x3C;p&#x3E;i should go out with del sometime and have lunch. it&#x26;#39;d be fun....heh&#x3C;/p&#x3E;</description>

<description>table width=400 align=center border=1 bordercolor=black cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2&#x3E;
&#x3C;tr&#x3E;&#x3C;td bgcolor=#66CCFF align=center&#x3E;
&#x3C;font face=&#x22;Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif&#x22; style=&#x27;color:black; font-size: 14pt;&#x27;&#x3E;
&#x3C;b&#x3E;Your Life Path Number Is 9&#x3C;/b&#x3E;&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/td&#x3E;&#x3C;/tr&#x3E;
&#x3C;tr&#x3E;&#x3C;td bgcolor=#FFFFFF&#x3E;
&#x3C;center&#x3E;
  &#x3C;font color=&#x22;#0000CC&#x22; size=&#x22;+6&#x22;&#x3E;
  9  &#x3C;/font&#x3E;

&#x3C;/center&#x3E;

&#x3C;font color=&#x22;#000000&#x22;&#x3E;
The keys your Life Path are compassion, generosity, and a very humanitarian attitude.

You are very trustworthy, honorable, and unlikely to harbor any sort of prejudice. 

Obviously, this is a rather tall order, but you are, in fact, a person that feels very deeply for individuals less fortunate than yourself.

If you are in a position to help, you certainly will. 



You tend to be quite sensitive, as you see the world with much feeling and compassion. 

The 9, being the highest of the single digit numbers, holds an elevated position and poses certain responsibilities. 

Your purpose of life is of a philosophical nature. 

Judges, spiritual leaders, healers and educators frequently have much 9 energy. 



Material gains are not overly important to you. 

You have a very selfless attitude and will give up of material possessions for the common good. 

he desire to help others, especially the troubled or underprivileged, is strong. 

You are apt to frequently find yourself being used and let down by others, as your generosity is misused and abused.



Your very deep understanding of life is sometimes manifested in the artistic and literary fields. 

Here you may be able to express your deep emotional feelings through painting, writing, music, or other art forms. 

Often, however, there if a great deal of difficulty finding a suitable outlet for the your Life Path. 

You are usually well suited to the helping and healing professions... but less inclined to the competitive business environment.



You have the ability to make friends very easily, as people are attracted to your magnetic, open personality. 

You have a special gift of understanding people, which if used correctly can be of great benefit to others. 

Your interest in people tends to make you quite social. 

People just naturally like you because you are so sympathetic, tolerant and broad-minded. 



In many ways, you are a romantic that can get lost in your loves and passions. 

Relationships can be difficult for you, however, because it is hard to strike a balance that will work effectively. 

If your partner is one sharing your giving attitudes, the relationship will be happy and lasting. 

On the other hand, if you choose a partner whose focus is on material issues, problems will arise quickly.



As do all the life path numbers, the 9 has its negative side, and because of the demanding nature of the truly positive 9, many tend to fail in this category. 

It is not uncommon for persons with the 9 life path to fight the realities and challenges of purpose imposed... because selflessness is not an easy trait. 

You may have difficulty believing that giving and a lack of personal ambition can be satisfying. 

You must accept that little long-term satisfaction and happiness is to be gained by rejecting the natural humanitarian inclinations of your path.&#x3C;/font&#x3E;&#x3C;/td&#x3E;&#x3C;/tr&#x3E;&#x3C;/table&#x3E;

&#x3C;/div&#x3E;

<description>&#x3C;P&#x3E;heya! first up, happy cny!&#x26;nbsp;&#x3C;IMG src=&#x22;http://zorpia.com/smi/49.gif&#x22; align=absMiddle border=0&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;hope y&#x27;all out there got a good haul this year...&#x3C;/P&#x3E;
&#x3C;P&#x3E;more about cny later...my main messge being,&#x3C;/P&#x3E;
&#x3C;P&#x3E;sorry peeps, but me doesn&#x27;t think i&#x27;ll be doing any more posts about my trip to europe 2004. you see, i know i&#x27;m horribly lazy and its really my fault for not posting once i got back (i wanted to! but sumfink happened and i couldn&#x27;t. just couldn&#x27;t) so i prevaricated and all. like i know once i get on a subject i&#x27;ll go on and on about it for eons and its a committment, ya know? to do all those posts about the places i went..&#x3C;/P&#x3E;
&#x3C;P&#x3E;plus, its not v fair cos so many things are happening in the present (and posibly will in the future) and i wanna update but i cant cos i&#x27;m still stuck in the bog-that-is-europe. (not that it &#x3C;EM&#x3E;is &#x3C;/EM&#x3E;a bog, just in my blog. muahahah &#x3C;IMG src=&#x22;http://zorpia.com/smi/35.jpg&#x22; align=absMiddle border=0&#x3E;&#x26;nbsp;) &#x3C;/P&#x3E;
