White Matter vs. Gray Matter
Men and Women possess two different types of brains, designed equally for intelligent behavior. Men have approximately 6.5 times as much gray matter as women. Women have almost 10 times as much white matter that men do. Information-processing centers are located in gray matter. The connections or networks among these processing centers are composed of white matter. These differences explain why men tend to excel in tasks involving gray matter local processing - like mathematics - while women excel at integrated and assimilating information from gray matter regions, required for language skills, because of their abundance of connecting white matter.
This physical difference in our brain composition helps explain why we communicate so differently. A woman's brain is busy connecting everything. The more she cares about something, the more she connects it to other things going around in her brain.
For example, when she sees a movie or visits a friend, she may have a lot to say about it. meanwhile a guy may have nothing to say unless the movie happens to hit a particular area of interest. She assumes that he does not want to talk about the movie, but he actually has little to say. With this new insight, she can be assured that he is interested in hearing what she has to say, even though he has little to offer in return. When a women gives up expecting her partner to talk more, not only does he appreciate her willingness to talk, but gradually begins to share more
When men have little to say, women often take it
personally, as if he doesn't want to share.
This same idea applies to asking a man about his day or trip he has taken. When he has little to say, he is not intentionally hiding what happened; he just doesn't think much about it, and as a consequence he doesn't remember much. She looks forward to explaining how everything connects. The process of communicating actually helps her reduce stress, while it has little benefit for him.

12th April 2010, Monday
I went out from my room around 9am because I want to go to upgrade my laptop so I had to go to Cahaya Gemilang first to for help from my senior. Then suddenly I received massage from Josephine asked for breakfast. Very surprised because I thought she still in Malacca. So I went to breakfast with her. After that I went to library for study. Very surprised when I reached Library II. There were so many people and unlucky the aircond was break down. Very hot until my body sweat. But afer 15 minutes, the aircond already ok. That was my first thing happen in my 1st day in study week. Many things happen that I unexpected. But in that day, I can finish 2 chapters for Organizational Behaviour subject and a chapter from Business Law. Very tired and satisfied.

Study as usual but today best part is went to Mc Donald with Josephine and Florence. We went to Mc Donald because Josephine said that new McD already open and Florence also want to go there, because yesterday she went to McD, the McD still closed for renovation. There were many people in McD. We had to wait to search a table before we order the food. Very unexpected there were so many until not enough place. Today Florence had told me a story that she very shy. She had send wrong massage and the person who received the massage also was the person she blame. So pity to her, she already no mood to study. But after meet the lecturer, she feel ok already. At night, Florence, senior and I went dinner at Sg Dua. Very funny when think back.
