Lyrics Translation by S. Ang / also credit http://kreah-craze.com
You are my destiny
Come closer
I want to hold both of your hands
And fall asleep next to you
You are my everything
You’ll always be with me, my love
Know that you’re the only one in my mind
Even when you’re in my arms
I wish that time were to stop
Your bright smile
Reaches deep in my heart
The love I buried deep in my heart
I want to feel your fragrance
Always be near me
Just so that I can feel you
You are my destiny
I’ll be with you
Always in the same place
I will gaze at you
You are my everything
I will live only for you, my love
Let me keep you in my heart
Always be near me
Just so that I can feel you
You are my destiny
Come closer
I want to hold both of your hands
And fall asleep next to you
You are my everything
You’ll always be with me, my love
Know that you’re the only one in my mind
You are my destiny
I’ll be with you
Always in the same place
I will gaze at you
You are my everything
I will live only for you, my love
Let me keep you in my heart
Hangul Lyrics
Title: Destiny
Singer: 이성욱 [부활]
You are my destiny
내 곁에 좀 더 가까이 와줘
너의 두 손을 잡고 한참동안
네 곁에 잠이 들고파
You are my everything
언제나 내 안에 있어 my love
내 맘엔 오직 너 뿐이라는 것만 알아줘
내 품에 가만히 있어도
시간이 그냥 멈췄으면 해
해 맑은 너의 미소가
내 맘에 깊숙이 들어와
나의 가슴에 묻고 있었던 널 향한 사랑
향긋한 너를 느끼며 있고 싶어
항상 네가 내게 있어 가까이
너를 좀더 그냥 느낄 수 있게
You are my destiny
너만을 위해 함께 있을게
언제나 항상 같은 자리에서
너만을 바라 볼 거야
You are my everything
널 위해 살아 갈 거야 my love
내 맘에 너를 가둬둘 수 있게 허락해줘
항상 네가 내게 있어 가까이
너를 좀더 그냥 느낄 수 있게
You are my destiny
내 곁에 좀 더 가까이 와줘
너의 두 손을 잡고 한참동안
네 곁에 잠이 들고파
You are my everything
언제나 내 안에 있어 my love
내 맘엔 오직 너 뿐이라는 것만 알아줘
You are my destiny
너만을 위해 함께 있을게
언제나 항상 같은 자리에서
너만을 바라 볼 거야
You are my everything
널 위해 살아 갈 거야 my love
내 맘에 너를 가둬둘 수 있게 허락해줘

Mating game: Too much choice will leave you lonely
Mating game: Too much choice will leave you lonely
March 2, 2011 by Winnie Andrews
Scientists have made a surprising discovery: The more options you have for choosing a lover, the likelier you are to end up with no-one.
Scientists have made a surprising discovery: The more options you have for choosing a lover, the likelier you are to end up with no-one.
British investigators, in a new study released on Wednesday, looked at the strange dynamics of choice in speed-dating, a fashionable way for singles to meet.
Speed-daters race through a rota of one-on-one meetings, judging each person for suitability after a conversation of a few minutes that ends when a bell sounds.
Assessing large numbers of candidates was not a problem in itself, the researchers found.
In fact, many speed-daters found more potential partners when they were able to cast their net into a larger pool.
But this advantage only worked when the available candidates were all broadly similar.
When candidates were too dissimilar, speed-daters became confused by many conflicting factors -- and often failed to choose anyone.
"There are models of human 'rationality' which posit that variety is a good thing," said researcher Alison Lenton at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.
"What will be surprising to some people is that our results suggest that increasing option variety leads to chooser confusion. People are more likely to choose no-one at all when faced with greater variety."
The study, published in the British journal Biology Letters, tracked 1,868 female and 1,870 male participants at 84 commercial speed-dating events.
Hopeful singles gave details of their occupation, education level, age, height, weight and religious affiliation, allowing researchers to gauge differences.
The women's mean age was 34.3 years and men were aged 35.6. Twenty percent of women and 27 percent of men were in professional or managerial positions, and the remainder classified themselves as "skilled non-manual" or other occupations.
Speed-daters met in groups and engaged in three-minute encounters with between 15 and 31 singles of the opposite sex.
After the event, the organiser matched up individuals who indicated a mutual interest in each other, thus opening the way to a possible date.
Big speed-dating events typically generated 123 such "proposals," or shows of interest, when candidates were similar, the researchers found. But the number dropped by more than a quarter, to 88, when candidates were varied.
Small speed-dating events would lead to 85 proposals when candidates were similar. But this fell by nearly a third, to 57 proposals, when candidates were varied.
Men were generally keener than women in formulating a proposal -- but were also likelier to be stumped by choice.
In short, variety is fine... but in manageable doses.
"Dealing with variety requires attention and memory, and we have only so much capacity for each," Lenton explained in an email with AFP.
Extending encounters by 10 minutes might not greatly change results, she said.
"It is extremely common for us to make quick judgments about other people, even in a matter of seconds. And once those judgments are formed, they can be difficult to change."
Amber Soletti, who runs a speed-dating company in New York, said grouping singles by interest or physical preferences boosted chances of a successful connection.
Her company, OnSpeedDating.com, offers 75 niche groups, such as "Asian Persuasion," "Fitness Singles" and "Worldly Singles" who like to travel.
Soletti started the company after failing to find anyone of interest at general speed-dating events.
"I only like to date men 6-foot-1 (1.85 metres) and taller. I always went to single events that had shorter men, so I didn't find anyone," she said by phone.
But now, "If I go to our tall event, I have a better chance of meeting someone," she said.
"People know what they like."

Watching curvaceous women feels like drugs to men: study
Watching curvaceous women feels like drugs to men: study
February 25, 2010 by Lin Edwards hourglass
(PhysOrg.com) -- It has long been known that men find an "hourglass" figure the most attractive shape for the female body, and now scientists have found out why.
Research across a variety of cultures has demonstrated that men typically find the curvaceous female form sexually attractive. Other studies have shown that wide hips in women are associated with health and reproductive potential, so the attraction makes evolutionary sense.
Scientists from Georgia Gwinnett College in Lawrenceville, Georgia, studied the responses of 14 men with an average age of 25 to nude photographs of women before and after undergoing cosmetic surgery that redistributed fat from their waists to the buttocks to give them more of an hourglass figure. The operations did not reduce the weight of the women, but gave them an “optimal” Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR) of about 0.7.
The fMRI brain scans of the male subjects showed the post-surgery pictures activated the same regions of the brain that are activated by rewards, alcohol and drugs. Changes to women’s body mass index (BMI) did not affect the reward centers, but instead activated brain areas associated with the visual recognition of shape and size. This suggests judgments of female attractiveness based on body fat are based on society expectations rather than being hard-wired in the brain.
Steven Platek, an evolutionary cognitive neuroscientist, said the research may help explain why some men are addicted to pornography, and may also shed some light on other disorders “such as erectile dysfunction in the absence of pornography,” and add to our study of sexual infidelity. It also helps explain phenomena such as sexual harassment and whistling at curvaceous girls in the street. Platek said the BMI results suggest the female form projected by the media, of skinny waif-like models, is not the most attractive to men, and curves are worth their reproductive weight in gold.
The research paper, by Platek and Devendra Singh, presents the first description of the effect of WHR on men’s brains. It was published online in PLoS One on February 5.

US jobless rate hits 10.2% as 190,000 jobs lost
US jobless rate hits 10.2% as 190,000 jobs lost
WASHINGTON - US unemployment rate shot up to 10.2 percent in October as another 190,000 jobs were shed, the Labor Department said Friday.
The report highlighted ongoing struggles in the labor market: the jobless rate was the highest since 1983 but the number of jobs lost narrowed to the lowest level in over a year.
Overall, the Labor Department monthly report - one of the best indicators of
economic momentum - was worse than expectations for a 10 percent jobless rate and 175,000 job losses.

2008 saw largest number of marriages since 2000
2008 saw largest number of marriages since 2000
By 938LIVE
Posted: 28 September 2009 1839 hrs
SINGAPORE: Last year saw the largest number of marriages since 2000. The Department of Statistics (DOS') latest population trend report said nearly 24,600 marriages were registered last year.
About 75 per cent of these marriages were first marriages compared to 81.5 per cent in 1998.
DOS said this indicated that remarriages were becoming more common, especially among men here.
However, marriage rates fell for both men and women below the age of 30, marking the largest fall since 2000 for men aged 25 to 29 and women aged 20 to 24.
Mirroring the trend of marrying later, the peak age group for marriage among men moved from the 25 to 29 age bracket in 2000 to 30 to 34 in 2008.
However, the peak age group for marriage among women remained the same for the 25 to 29 age group. There was a delay in first marriage across all age groups.
The report also showed that divorce rates were up across all age groups, with the most cases among younger couples in the 20 to 24 age bracket.
More than half of the divorces were of marriages which lasted less than 10 years. A third of divorces occurred within five to nine years of marriage.
