Chen Siyuan, a young translator from Handan, China’s Hebei province, has the incredibly ability to write with both hands at the same time. Even more impressive is that fact that she can write vertically with one hand and horizontally with the other, or in two different languages.

In this age of technology, writing with both hands is not as valuable a skill as it once was, but that doesn’t make 24-year-old Chen Siyuan’s ability any less remarkable. This young English translator has been wowing onlookers with her amazing talent of writing with both hands simultaneously, in two different languages (Chinese and English). You’d be tempted to think this kind of unique capacity requires years of practice, but Chen says she discovered her ability completely by accident, during her high-school years. She was overwhelmed by the quantities of English homework, but found that she could complete respective tasks much faster by writing with both hands at the same time. ”When I was in high school, I unconsciously wrote with both hands while trying to finish my homework in a hurry,” Chen told People’s Daily Online. ”My classmates were curious and tried to imitate me, but none of them succeeded.”

jhydebaba: 1. Its men's world.

So how exactly does this excuse the observation?

Just leave. There's no such thing as a compromise, where there's no lick of attraction.

When the time is right, if it will ever be, she'd open up. For now, she prolly isn't as drawn to you as you think or want...Or she is, but is too reserved to a fault to express how she feels.
And no. Calling her three times a day, is not too much.

Although, a lot of people seem to be tweeting about the fair, I can tell you for a fact that it is not listed officially any where. Not even on the sites of the supposed organizers (The Lagos State Radio Service and Point Management Consultants). You can try calling the Eko fm though on any of the numbers displayed on their site...if any still "exists".

It was a night filled with a host of entertainment as the continent’s most entertaining music reality television show, Nigerian Idol, held a night with the judges on Tuesday, 11th December, 2012. Media and other invited guests were hosted at Oriental Hotel, Victoria Island, Lagos to premiere the first episode of season three of the show.

Present on the evening were the judges, past competitors, and invited guests. Femi Kuti, the newest judge, spoke on the new season and how he felt about joining the show. “I am genuinely excited to be part such an amazing show. Nigerians have a deep and abiding love for music, and there is so much talent out there; I can’t help but be enthusiastic that we get to introduce them to the country,” said the three-time Grammy Award nominee.

The night started off with past competitors reminding us why Nigerian Idol is so successful; Steven Onoche, the second runner-up from season two, was first on stage and sang beautifully. He was followed by Joe Blue, the first runner-up from the same season. Not to be outdone, it was the turn of the judges to entertain, and Yinka Davies’ spectacular vocals was displayed beautifully by her soulful selection. Finally, Femi Kuti took to the stage, and brought the house down with his saxophone skills.

Now in its third season, guests were treated to a preview of the newest episode of Nigerian Idol, which will be aired on Sunday, 16th December, 2012. The room alternated between laughter and applause as a colourful range of vocals tried to win a coveted spot in the next round. Before the viewing, a question and answer session took place between the judges and the media.

“I know that Nigerians are going to be excited about this season,” said Tiwa Medubi, the project manager. “This Sunday is definitely going to showcase the amazing range of raw talent, and bring you voices like you’ve never heard before and I can also guarantee it is going to be lots of fun.”

The top ten finalists will also get prizes worth a total of N10 million.

DheBuck: see one of them dumb hoes who think a relationship is a source of income.
Lol@ joy in giving...and get called a maga behind? No thanks.

I know you didn't just call that man, a ho. Smh. Funny you.

I suggest you change your e-mail addy, then. It is possible on this site. Meanwhile, do not respond to e-mails from members via your inbox messages.

xyoung: Which one b dis
I'm talking of our degrading morals, now check out ur comment..anyway I wouldn't be surprised if you fall into *dis category of girls* because I think you do
No offence intended but what do you really gain by keeping loads of boyfriends instead of one and when they all start running away when you are 26yrs, you start running to church for prayer request meanwhile you caused all ur problems

Lol. For your mind now ehnn, you don yab me be dat oo. Hehe.
Anyway, my comment was not meant for spite at all. Just don't be given to illusions of having all the right in the world to yourself alone, to choose whoever and whatever you want, and deny them their own right to choose comfort and security. Whatever be the effect of their choice, they alone can truly experience...never you and I.

There are soooooo many pageants, that we do not even report...and people are complaining.
When ordinary sofa makers (chair and pillow people) could organise a pageant (the face of sofa) and even invite Keri Hilson over for it...hehe. That's when you'd understand that there's really wahala in the trade business.

Eyaaa...e don pain am..
