The two salesgirls continued talking even though one of them could see a customer approaching the counter. He had to wait for a full five minutes before Mei Ling, one of the salesgirls, turned to him with a bored look on her face.

I wonder if you could show me the latest range belts in the store, the Malay man said.

Mei Ling lazily pointed with her finger and said, They are over there. Then she resumed her conversation with her friend.

As soon as the customer was out of earshot, she complained, Did you see how shabbily he was dressed? He must be blind too, as the belts are just around the corner, and he missed them. Some people are just too lazy!

At closing time, Miss Chan, the sales supervisor walked over to Mei Lings counter and asked if a Malay man had approached her for some belts.

Yes, as a matter of fact he did, Mei Ling replied.

Men and women do think differently, at least where 11 anatomy of the brain is concerned, according 12 a new study.

The brain 13 made primarily of two different types of tissues, called grey matter and white matter. This new research 14 that men think more with their grey matter, and women think more with white. Researchers stressed that just because the two sexes think differently, this does not affect intellectual performance.

Psychology professor Richard Haier of the University of California, led the research along with colleagues from the University of New Mexico. 15 findings show that 16 general, men have nearly 6.5 times the amount of grey matter related to general intelligence 17 to women, whereas women have nearly 10 times the amount of white matter related to intelligence compared to men.

18 findings suggest that human evolution has created two different types of brains designed for equally intelligent behaviour said Haier.

What is the best to treat sensitive skin ?

A common feature of sensitive skin is dry skin. The health of the skin depends on the oil water balance of the epidermal barrier. As such, it is very important to use mild products designed to relieve irritation. Bathe with a cleanser that is formulated to cleanse without compromising the barrier function.

Dear Kamini,

Hi there ! Im so excited to tell you about my experience in Kansas so far.

When I first arrived at Kansas City International Airport, it was covered with snow, which was really exciting since we never get snow in Malaysia.

My first day of school at Kansas High was nerve-racking for me. I have to learn to make my way around this school of 2000 students for the next six months! Ive always loved making new friends but doing it in a foreign country was quite scary. However, this fear proved unfounded as I was welcomed by the students with open arms. The students were interested to learn about Malaysia, especially since it is on the other side of the world. Many people were astonished at the fact that I come from a city with a population of 420,000 residents, or the pictures that showed Kuala Lumpur filled with skyscrapers, towering hundreds of feet high.

In school, Ive been able to take part in many activities which I would not have been able to experience at school in Malaysia, such as choosing the classes that I want to take and having to walk from class to class instead of the teachers doing it, and also enjoying superbly-performed musicals and plays.

Im learning how to understand and adapt to certain American cultures which are not the same as cultures in Malaysia. This helps me to be more prepared for the challenges and diversities that I must face in life. Im becoming more outgoing and able to understand and interact with people from different backgrounds and viewpoints as well as to respect their opinions.

I am looking forward to making full use of my remaining time here to gain even more enjoyable experiences.

Well, thats all for now. Ill e-mail you again soon. Please send my love to all at home.

Your sister,

Sharmini
