Men vs. Women vs. the Short Story

Came accross this hilarious joke while browsing online. Check it out...

Men vs. Women vs. the Short Story
Remember the book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus"? Well, here's a prime example offered by an English professor at Southern Methodist University:

In-class Assignment for Wednesday:
Today we will experiment with a new form called the tandem story. The process is simple. Each person will pair off with the person sitting to his other immediate right. One of you will then write the first paragraph of a short story. The partner will read the first paragraph and then add another paragraph to the story. The first person will then add a third paragraph, and so on back and forth. Remember to re-read what has been written each time in order to keep the story coherent. The story is over when both agree a conclusion has been reached. The following was actually turned in by two of my English students, Rebecca [last name deleted] and Gary [last name deleted.] "

At first, Laurie couldn't decide which kind of tea she wanted. The chamomile, which used to be her favorite for lazy evenings at home, now reminded her too much of Carl, who once said, in happier times, that he liked chamomile. But she felt she must now, at all costs, keep her mind off Carl. His possessiveness was suffocating, and if she thought about him too much her asthma started acting up again. So chamomile was out of the question.

Meanwhile, Advance Sergeant Carl Harris, leader of the attack squadron now in orbit over Skylon 4, had more important things to think about than the neuroses of an air-headed asthmatic bimbo named Laurie with whom he had spent one sweaty night over a year ago. "A.S. Harris to Geostation 17," he said into his transgalactic communicator. "Polar orbit established. No sign of resistance so far..." But before he could sign off, a bluish particle beam flashed out of nowhere and blasted a hole through his ship's cargo bay. The jolt from the direct hit sent him flying out of his seat and across the cockpit.

He bumped his head and died almost immediately, but not before he felt one last pang of regret for psychically brutalizing the one woman who had ever had feelings for him. Soon afterwards, Earth stopped its pointless hostilities towards the peaceful farmers of Skylon 4. "Congress Passes Law Permanently Abolishing War and Space Travel," Laurie read in her newspaper one morning. The news simultaneously excited her and bored her. She stared out the window, dreaming of her youth -- when the days had passed unhurriedly and carefree with no newspapers to read, no television to distract her from her sense of innocent wonder at all the beautiful things around her. "Why must one lose one's innocence to become a woman?" she pondered wistfully.

Little did she know, but she had less than 10 seconds to live. Thousands of miles above the city, the Au'udrian mothership launched the first of its lithium fusion missiles. The dim-witted wimpy peaceniks who pushed the Unilateral Aerospace Disarmament Treaty through Congress had left Earth a defenseless target for the hostile alien empires who were determined to destroy the human race. Within two hours after the passage of the treaty the Anu'udrian ships were on course for Earth, carrying enough firepower to pulverize the entire planet. With no one to stop them, they swiftly initiated their diabolical plan. The lithium fusion missile entered the atmosphere unimpeded. The President, in his top-secret mobile submarine headquarters on the ocean floor off the coast of Guam, felt the inconceivably massive explosion which vaporized Laurie and 85 million other Americans. The President slammed his fist on the conference table. "We can't allow this! I'm going to veto that treaty! Let's blow'em out of the sky!"

This is absurd. I refuse to continue this mockery of literature. My writing partner is a violent, chauvinistic, semi-literate adolescent.

Yeah? Well, you're a self-centered tedious neurotic whose attempts at writing are the literary equivalent of Valium.

Asshole.

Bitch.

Are Malaysians Civic Minded?

~When someone is civic minded means that he/she is concerned with civic interests or active in community affairs~

In my opinion, the answer is no. This is best described by the sad conditions of our public facilities. Telephone booths are vandalized, funky smelling toilets, chewing gum spit on busses and the list goes on. After achieving 50 years of independence, our community still has not learned civic mindedness.

I happen to work for a big multinational company whereby employees working in the office have at least diploma/degree qualifications. I would consider them as highly educated and thus civic minded. However, it’s really sad that this is not the case. People still choose to flush their sanitary napkins down the toilet even if there is a sanitary bin located just right next to them in that very same toilet cubicle. What I find really funny is there are people who choose to squat on toilet seats and leave dusty footprints behind for the next user!

Another repulsive act commonly known among Malaysians is spitting. It’s a common sight to see motorist spitting phlegm while riding on their vehicle. The selfish act is disgusting and also endangers whoever which is unlucky enough to pass by.

Littering is also a common habit among Malaysians (proven by the massive amounts of rubbish in the streets). It’s no wonder how aluminum can collectors could survive just by picking cans from the streets. I’ve seen my share of educated people who will not think twice about throwing rubbish on the floor. It’s really sad to see the community this way. How can we move forward to the next step and promote recycling awareness, when the community doesn’t even know that they are supposed to throw rubbish into dustbins?

Malaysians still have a long way to go to attain civic mindedness. Until that day arrives, I think it’s pointless for the government to invest in public facilities for the community as they simply do not appreciate them.

Charmine's Shiok Shiok Makan Farewell Celebration

This is Charmine's Shiok Shiok Makan Farewell Celebration in my cube. Check out the goofy superman girls at the back :D. All and all, it was a nostalgic moment a mixture of fun and also a picnch of sadness. I don't really know what kind of feeling it was.
However, next time we are not celebrating anything anymore in our cube because we are the ones which did housekeeping in the end :S

Charmine's Farewell Lunch at EQ

Six pretty girls in a row!!! And who's the fairest of them all??? Hahaha....yup just the bunch of us goofing around EQ stairs....if you look carefully, you should be able to see how bloated our stomach is after the so called "International Buffet". The food was alright but not so worth the money. However, we managed to stuff ourselfs to the max and still look pretty ;)

PS: Actually its a miracle that we are still :) after the close encounter between the Innova and the Lorry.
