My students are sexy, aren't they? (Part II)

THE MINISTER HAS A SAYING:
This is the comment of the minister himself as reported by Yahoo! News...


"It is unfair to punish women and children and the clothes they wear for the act of rapists," The Star daily quoted him as saying. "From what I have seen, clothing is not the main consideration of those who commit despicable acts."


Hishammuddin's aide, who spoke on condition of anonymity citing protocol, confirmed the comment.

Cikgu Farish: I agree with you Datuk...

My students are sexy, aren't they?


A BIG GULP...

It's quite a long time I have not buy daily newspaper, perhaps it is my way to clear up myself from hectic and tiring political issues and disputes. I just have my internet connection as my source to the news updates and other personal purposes... but I could not help my eyes from dragging themselves to this particular headline 'Sexy Uniforms' in Malaysia Yahoo! website...

Oo oh... never make early judgment on me please... I am not a pervert and not a pornographic addict either... It's the issue that gave me a punch... Dusyumm!!!... "Hey! Wake up teacher! Don't you realise you have sexy students around! Come on, help yourself with such pleasure!..."

Ha ha... my goodness, for so long I have been a teacher, only this time some people out of the classroom have had their eyes on my students 'boobs' and claimed they are sexy... How come this people can see but I cannot see... I think something is wrong with my eyes that requires me to go for a check up... or.... something is wrong with those people?

THE NEWS:

KUALA LUMPUR, May 21, 2008 (AFP) - A Malaysian Islamic group on Wednesday condemned the uniform worn by girls at government schools, saying it encouraged rape and pre-marital sex. "The white blouse is too transparent for girls and it becomes a source of attraction," National Islamic Students Association of Malaysia vice-president Munirah Bahari said in a statement. "It becomes a distraction to men, who are drawn to it, whether or not they like looking at it," she said, calling for a review of uniform policy so that it did not violate Islamic ideals. In multicultural Malaysia, home to majority-Muslim Malays as well as ethnic Chinese and Indians, female students at government schools have a choice of wearing a white blouse with a knee-length skirt or pinafore. They may also wear a "baju kurung" which is a traditional long top and skirt, and a headscarf is optional for Malay students. (Read more...)

The crazy of English Language...




I received the poem below from a friend showing certain hard to explain and understand grammatical aspects of English Language. Looks like a joke but make sense. LOL


We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes;
but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.
One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese,
yet the plural of moose should never be meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice;
yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.
If the plural of man is always called men,
why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?

If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet,
and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?
If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth,
why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that, and three would be those,
yet hat in the plural would never be hose,
and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.

We speak of a brother and also of brethren,
but though we say mother we never say methren.
Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him,
but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.
