Ying-Lan: HI, Michaelc.

MichaelC: How are you both?

Maggi: fine, you?

Ying-Lan: ^Fine... girl's talk.

MichaelC: I'm OK - don't know about the girls' talk though. Should I leave?

Maggi: hehehe

MichaelC: I guess you can whisper to each other!

Maggi: maybe you could learn something!

Maggi: LOL

Ying-Lan: We need your opinion.

MichaelC: I'm sure I could. So talk on......I'm all ears.

MichaelC: Need my opinion on girls' talk?!

Maggi: do you like women made up?

MichaelC: Generally no......

Ying-Lan: Do you like to watch a lady wared make up like being a movie star?

MichaelC: .....a little bit's OK.

Maggi: see Ying

Ying-Lan: MC, Really?

MichaelC: Definitely not Ying. I prefer the natural look.

MichaelC: You're surprised Ying?

Maggi: I told you most men worth something aren't so keen on makeup.

Ying-Lan: ^i don't know..

Felix: @64,64 !It's Felix

MichaelC: Thanks Maggie. So I'm worth something?

Maggi: Hi Felix...

MichaelC: Hi Felix.

Felix: Here I am

Felix: Mr. X

Ying-Lan: ^No body chase me,, I think the reason is I don't like to wear make up.

Maggi: sure you are Michael...you are a real man.

MichaelC: Ask what Felix thinks about make-up?

Ying-Lan: Hi,. Felix,., just talking about you.

Felix: Me?? About what?

Ying-Lan: ^Do you have a service on Sunday?

Maggi: that isn't the reason Ying.

Ying-Lan: kind

Ying-Lan: kid

MichaelC: I agree with Maggie. If a guy is worth the trouble then make-up should not matter.

MichaelC: Do you want to be chased Ying?

Felix: My wife just got from it Maggi

Maggi: you like women made up more Felix?

Ying-Lan: ^Do you attract a gril by her appearance?

Ying-Lan: ^No, I hate it.. too many trouble.

Maggi: too much trouble

Ying-Lan: ^I don't like being in Trouble.

Felix: Of course, the first thing that attracts me is the apppearance..

MichaelC: So be happy without make-up!

Felix: I hate MAKE UP!!!!!

Maggi: and then Felix?

Ying-Lan: ^But Felix,, you said you are attracked by appearance...

Maggi: See Ying...even Felix doesn't like makeup.

Felix: Then the chat.. I mean.... The girl's ideas, ...

MichaelC: Appearance is important. But for me make-up usually detracts from appearance. Women look better without it IMHO.

Felix: The only make up I like is a lipstick.

Maggi: he means the natural look.

Ying-Lan: ^But Felix .. your wife sales make up, donesn't she?

Felix: Yes....

Felix: But in Brazil, because it's a tropical (hot) country.. Women dont use heavy make up

Maggi: well...Felix says I have skin like a baby from one photo where I am not wearing any makeup...

Ying-Lan: maggi, you are a beauty.

Felix: But basically they are produts to keep the skin clean or produts to enchance the color of the skin...

Maggi: actually I never do...only line my lips and use vaseline to keep them soft...never know when someone will want to kiss you.

Maggi: :-)

Felix: Ying.. I got a joke e-mail with funny sentences.. The first one is

Maggi: Thanks Ying...

Ying-Lan: I hate to wear lipstict,too.. It made my cup looked dirty.

Felix: 99% of the women's beauty wash out with water.

MichaelC: Exactly Ying!

Felix: Maggi, in Brazil we use vaseline to another purpose

Maggi: I won't ask what

MichaelC: Well I use it for my lips too!

Maggi: might embarass MC

MichaelC: Yes you might.

Maggi: let's leave it at lips

Felix: At first, long time ago vaseline was use for the hair....

Felix: not.... it's used.... for ...... you know

MichaelC: I always carry vaseline with me and sometimes when people see it they make dumb jokes about it.

Maggi: In Italy they use it for the ends of long hair.

Maggi: I do too MC!

Felix: But do ppl use it for sexual relations too??

MichaelC: Well this the big rumour Felix!

Maggi: He asked . nit me!!

MichaelC: "The first aid kit in a jar." used to be its advertising slogan.

Ying-Lan: Do you know who invented make up?

Felix: Michael, why haven't up put more listening exercises on your home page?
