an interesting debate occured in class today

The issue was the fertility rate in the world.One of the factors contributing to this is the age of marriage (for women,of course).A guy in class commented that women are demanding when it comes to men.Therefore,men would need time to meet the demands of these women before being able to marry them.

Dr. Rohaiza said that it is not a matter of women being demanding but simply men not being able to catch up with the achievement of women today.She said that she recently interviewed some female engineers from Petronas who were married to men of a slightly lower professional status.

One of the women said that it is sort of a problem.For example,a woman married to a military officer said that her kid had some mathematical problem to solve and he went to his dad for help.His dad couldn't solve it so he went to his mum.His mother solved it in a split second.Later on,her son asked her why she could solve the maths problem and his dad failed to do it.She had to make up some silly excuse like his dad was busy and tired of work.

Hawadah then argued that would it be ok for guys to carry on living with wives whose earnings are 5 digits in a month whereas his pay is so much less than that.Her arguement was more on the men's ego.I don't suppose it is a real problem for most people today but when it comes to socializing,I guess it does have an effect.Especially if you have kids like the woman engineer above.

Anywho,the arguement went on and on and eventually turned into a battle of the sexes.Strange but it happens.We're in the 21st century.People from different backgrounds have different ways to view things.Some guys want their wives to stay at home the whole time.Some guys wouldn't mind having working wives.I'd say,if you can bring in a whole lot more income for you home,why not?Just let your wife work.The more cash the better,ain't it?

ringworm infected

Kecik is now a grown cat and he's out and about looking for a mate.I have no idea where he goes to these days but the last time he went out,he must have picked up some fungal infection from some other cat out there.We had to take him to the vet coz we weren't so sure how bad the infection is.It's not contagious to us homosapiens but other felines could easily get infected.We're not exactly quarantining the little dude yet but we have our eyes on that lil fler.Just making sure he takes his meds and gets the cream applied on him twice a day and stuff.Once this treatment is over,HE NEEDS A BATH!He stinks!I could be lying down on the floor next to him (just a few centimeters away) and I could smell his stinky-ness!EEEEUW!
