Worried in the Workplace
Dear Alice, Theres this guy who is working at my office who I find very attractive. I dont know
if he has a girlfriend or not, but I have no way of showing him Im interested.
My friends tell me that I should ask him out for coffee, and worst comes to worst, hell refuse. However, I cant bring myself to do it. I just couldnt bear the thought of
his refusing my offer.
I cant stop thinking about him, and its affecting my work. What should I do? Worried in the Workplace
Dear Worried, I understand that you may feel uncomfortable about asking a strange man out for
coffee. I would too Maybe you should try talking to him a bit first. You might want to get friendly with him through small talk before you ask him out.
He may let out an us or we when talking about what he did on the weekend -- a sign that hes probably seeing someone. You could also ask the secretary if she thinks
he has a girlfriend. Secretaries often know things about the private lives of people in the office.
Then, if you find out hes single, and hes being friendly in the small talk, go for it Sometimes we must take risks to get what we want.
And if he says no, smile, and walk away. It probably means that he wasnt meant for you anyway.

Love Letters Dear Jim,
Every time I see you, I try to talk to you, but you dont listen. You always change the subject. Thats the biggest problem we have. You never listen to me when I talk.
Instead, you run away from problems. Please read this letter and think about it. These are some of the problems we have:
1 You dont believe the same things that I do. You dont really believe in anything. All you care about is money. You dont understand what really matters in life.
2 We dont like the same people. I know that you dont like my friends. You dont even remember their names. You think that you are better than they are. You never
want to go anywhere with them. I hate the way you make fun of them. 3 When you enjoy something, you assume that I enjoy it too. We always do what
you like. You dont even know that I hate football. Do you know what my favourite food is?
4 You dont remember things that are important to me. You didnt even know it was my birthday last week. I am waiting for your answer. I hope that you read this letter
carefully. If we cant talk, at least we can write.

Are You Blue or Pink? Have you ever wondered why the colour blue is used for baby boys and the colour
pink for baby girls? Who chose these colours?
Why were they chosen?
It seems that a long long time ago, people believed that evil spirits visited nurseries to do harm. They also believed that certain colours could act as a protection from these
evil spirits. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
