Humans are a very touching species. Infants and children who do not receive enough physical contact often grow up to become socially retarted and anti-social, because oxytocin (a result of touching) helps foster and promote certain connections in the brain.
that explains y im abit anti-social ya.. nv recieve enough physical contact when young.. XD
Oxytocin slightly impairs certain mental functions such as memory building. This has been hypothesized as a reason that "hugging/kissing" to make up after a fight is beneficial because it causes both people to somewhat forget the pain they just went through.

Phenylethylamine, or PEA, is a chemical in roses that helps give them their distinctive scent. And these chemicals are the "happy hormones" in our bodies—those chemicals that make us feel happy, put us in a state of euphoria, or of being in love. It’s probably no surprise, too, that PEA is also present in chocolate. So the practice of a romantic suitor bearing a bouquet of roses and box of chocolates is not only tradition, but has a scientific basis!
i only know eatin chocolate will make you happie.. din know smellin rose will too. =D
