A letter of petition

Scolding teachers, getting involved in fights, defying rules.. etc.
that was me during high school. But it has long gone since i started university.
But..but... its about to be rekindled!!!!!!!! because Taylors Uni College (TUC) have came up with a ridiculous new ruling! (cant' post the notice for the new ruling cause apparently the TUC site is not working, but words in red are the new regulations set by the TUC authority)

zomg! dress code like these for university students? Hell i didn't pay thousands of dollars every semester to adhere to such rubbish! High school ah u think!?

I cant possibly describe how mad i am right now!
relax relax, i'm not going to pick up a fight or find trouble with the lecturers/administrators in TUC because I'm no longer the rebellious me during high school. But hell i shall not let this matter rest!

As i have matured along the years, so has my methods of dealing with these situations which are now more sophisticated >)

I shall write a letter to the admin, stating my adversity. Here it goes :

Dear TUC boss and every underling under you, :

Letter of dissatisfaction.

I
am thoroughly disappointed with the new dress code requirements of TUC students.
I find it ridiculous, and although so. i do not support certain demonstrations planned by other students as i am much more civilized. hehe


However, it does not mean that I am in anyway about to tolerate this new dress code ruling.

THus, i shall use my reasoning skills acquired from my Speech 105 class to reason with you.

Dress code policy : All students must be readily identified at all times
Is this discriminating or what? i did not gel/style my hair so stylishly to be wrongfully identified as a terrorist leh.

Attire should not contain any offensive, obscene, indecent language /artwork.
You do understand that it is just 'artwork' . so how can my attire be offensive / indecent?
If you insist, then naked paintings by michael angelo in Rome would ought to be burned.

Hair should be neat/clean and not excessively colored.
Another high school ruling. What? if my hair is dirty..like u will even realize it? or would u cut my hair like what my high school teachers did if my hair is long?

Footwear : slippers and flip flops are not allowed.
Tuition fees have cost a bomb. With rising petrol prises, where to find money for shoes. Slippers and flip flops are an alternative, not a sign of disrespect. Please take note.

Shorts, singlets, spaghetti strap tops, tubes, off shoulder tops, revealing undergarments, low necklines, excessively short skirts, exposing of midriff, bareback, transparent garments are not allowed.
1. This is the one i cant stand the most! i did not pay thousands of dollars to come to a private university only to see all the girls clad in long sleeves and long pants OK!!! I guarantee if this ruling is passed, the percentage of 'pornographic web surfers' within Taylors premises will certainly rise!

then i would advise the your admin and security personnel to keep a close watch for this guy!




haha. ok the picture was a joke. But i'm serious about the others.

Yours sincerely,
Eu-Roy, Lai
a very pissed off TUC student.

The Road Not Taken - Robert Frost

Robert Frost (1874–1963). Mountain Interval. 1920.

1. The Road Not Taken


-Robert Frost-


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth; 5

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same, 10

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back. 15

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. 20


Hopefully, the path less traveled would make the difference for me too.

Gender Equality? hell yes.

Its the time of the year where my weekends are bored because EPL, UEFA etc are all over.
Here I sit, blogging. what to blog? nothings happening enough in life worthy of me typing it out.
Ah i know. gender equality >)

Cut it short, i'm no male chauvinist and i fully support gender equality. hehe.
nowadays, u can see feminist groups running all over shouting for women's rights. women's organizations fighting for suppressed women etc.
im cool with that, just that... sometimes, things get a little out of control.........ahem*


Gender equality. For those men out there that disagree with me and still hold to the fact that male domination over women is good, let me enlighten you with the pro's of having gender equality in todays world.

First of all. if men and women were equal, that meant that, we as MEN, will NO AND SHALL NO longer succumb to our women counterparts and pay for dates. Yes, u heard me. men will no longer have to pay for women's meals!
even the food will taste better then :P

Secondly, if there is gender equality, men will no longer have to propose to women for marriages.
Yes, we, MEN, will NOT KNEEL down in proposal for marriages. It will be equal and therefore, don't even expect us to come with a ring asking for marriage. it will be a legal agreement whereby both sides agree upon.

DONE DEAL. we're now married.

Thirdly, women will now have to carry their own shopping goods / groceries. Because we men and women are equal and thus, the goods carried by both sides shall be of own possession.
yes, poor fellow men. no more suffering. WE dont even need to carry their bags no more! rejoice!
(p/s this photo is obtained from a fellow blogger. dont be mad when u see this lol:D )

so fellow men out there, with gender equality implemented, we seriously will have little or no value to women out there. And I was told a recent scientific study has also proven that women would not need the male sperm to give birth. They can do it somewhat by duplicating their genes on their hair or something. But based on my biology knowledge, without the crossing-over of chromosomes, there wont be any variation on the babies given birth to.

Then i would simply hope Megan Fox decides to do this duplication of her own hair, and this..
would then turn into...
Yes. all the women in the world would one day look like megan fox. lovely.
