I've got this friend. We don't exactly get to meet up as often as we'd like but when we do, we talk. What about? Heh. Boys.
Tada!
Yes, we're girlie girls, alright.
And proud to be.
*snicker*
Whoops, sorry.
That was meant to come out as a giggle.
*giggles with hand over mouth*

Yup, we talk about boys. Actually, we'd rather we called them "Men" but only an insignificant number fit the said title so we kinda decided to ditch that altogether. No point adding a word to the dictionary when it's not something we'd use. Heh.
So, yeah. After our last secret General Meeting at our well-hidden Headquarters located somewhere in the middle of town, it was decided that the time has come to officially kick off Operasi Train Jantan. You know, before the performance of men of the world in romance, love and relationship start deteriorating to the point of being totally useless to us, women.
If you wanna know how a perfect gentleman treats his woman, one character has the art down pat is Matthew Perry's character in F.R.I.E.N.D.S, Mr Chandler Bing. An odd example to quote considering he's more popularly known as the resident smarty-pants of the sitcom, huh? Well, that part of his character aside, me-oh-my, the man does the "love thang" to perfection. Sigh. Go watch the parts after commitment-phobic Bing becomes the responsible, loving, affectionate lover to Monica Geller.
And before I take my leave, FYI, we do talk about other more "intelligent" stuff like global warming, recycling and world peace but this proved most memorable and post-worthy. So there.

Men, you will learn much.
So there it is.
With that, I officially launch
Operasi Train Jantan.
Please clap. It's only polite to do so. Thank you.

Pam,
It sounds like you're rounding up a feminist movement....hahahaha!!!
I would love to join but my objectives would not be entirely similar so that's going to be tough, I mean for us to team-up but as you've mentioned in your post, you already have a cluster of individuals riding high with you in this new movement of yours...
All the best, babe! I am sure you'll be able to knock some "GENTLEMENLY SENSE" into some men of this world.
You go, woman!
Haha. Nisha, dear, it's not a feminist movement I seek to establish. It's just quality men for the sake of women all over the world. =p
I have the necessary female support, yes. But it'd probably be great to have someone with your... ahem... unique insight on the matter, aboard with us. Think about it.
Yes yes, GO... GENTLEMANLY SENSE!!!
Girls will be girls. Aint that right Pam ?
Oh, definitely. Most definitely. *grins*
CRAP!
Make all you little ladies out there a challenge:
If any of you can write me a message, blog comment or email, (about anything at all - advice, critism, stories etc) and it could touch my heart (or TRAIN me, according to Pam's words) so much that I decide to be even a marginally nicer and changed man, I would do two things:
1. For an entire month, every single day, I shall blog about the feminist movement and voice my full support for it.
2. I shall give myself a crew cut (which I never did in my entire life) and post photos of my new hair.
No takers? Thought so. Always the weak ones. Giving up even without trying .. can't even be bothered to write a few lines?
And here you wanna TRAIN full grown men?
TRAIN? Train my ARSE.
CRAP!

oh come on leon lighten up a bit .. she's not trying to rule the world or sumthing ..take it as a joke lah need bo until like that.. just give her sum space lah
Pam! Your blog's really interesting! Can't wait for your next few posts. ;)
Pam,
Arrogance is definitely the number one killer for anything, and I've just seen such display of arrogance here, HA!HA!HA!

ATTN: Leon
– Ooo. Struck a nerve there, eh? Looks like Jono turned out man enough to take what Leon couldn't. I should really give Jono a hefty pat on the back when I next see him.
And Leon, Leon, Leon. Why should we wanna train YOU?! You're taken. None of us need a taken man, dude. You no longer pose a threat. You've stepped into "different" territory – the relationship dimension. One that doesn't concern "women of the world" anymore. It only concerns YOUR woman. Now, it's HER job to convince you to change. Not ours. You needn't have left an email add at the end. Haha. I doubt any of us would waste our time using it. I know I'm not. I'd rather blog more "feminist posts" (in your words) with my precious time.
I'm curious, though. Up a challenge and predict a negative response? How sad is that? It's like knowing deep down inside that nobody's gonna waste their time convincing YOU. Looks like it was YOU who gave up without even trying.
And here you wanna CHALLENGE us?! CHALLENGE? Pfft. Challenge my ARSE.
See? I can do mean, too. Versatility's the name of my game. Congrats, though. You're the first one to bring it out on Tinki Talks.
ATTN: Zecount
– Awww, thanks Leon. I'm so glad that HE's TheOtherLeon and you're real-life-friend Leon. Sigh.
ATTN: jiaen
– Haha. Thanks! Keep reading! You never know what's next. I don't either. Haha.
ATTN: Nisha
– Hey dear!
I think alright, didn't I? I wasn't THAT nasty as I should have been. Haha. Think I'll get a response from the meanie? Haha. I'm wondering if I should predict a negative response like he did. HAHA. I shall keep your quote. It's the perfect ending.

Whoa! Interesting Pam! Your blog can turn in a gender fight arena.....Hee Hah!
Psst... Leon, Let it be....let them say it.. they always never meant what they said....
Girls wanna train us....good...let it be! We pretend knowing nothing and see how they make the moves. Leon...we train them back unknowingly...hahaha.=)
Pam,
Fine. You girls win. I bow down to thee. You are the greatest, meanest and toughest!
*sulks*
Not. Hehehe
To My Sweetie,
Muahahah! YoU WILL NEVER TAKE ME DOWN ALIVEEEEEEEE...... I shall fight to my last breath. For HONOR!!!!!
*grins*
adhojlim,
Be careful what you write here. The blog owner is more poisonous than Medusa. You might find her much more than you can handle.
As for me, I have been vaccinated against all strains of the feminisvirus since young, so I couldn't care less.
If you wanna know, I'm also immune to periodmoodswing coli, iwannacontrolyourlifesium and commitmentcoccus.
*grins*
Oh they all can try to train us until they turn blue. Fact is, they have been TRYING for the past 3,000 years. So if this little lady from Penang wants to try in her personal crusade, *snicker* , be my guest.
*grins widely*
i think leon in black should really focus and concentrate on his real life job and stop arguing for the sake of it...because that's not how full grown men act...they act mature....gosh...
LEON: Hahaha...You are really funny =))
Remember to lock your house door tonite... u know Pam has a lot of supporters out there! U named her "Medusa" and she will act like one soon... Wish you luck pal! Hahaha...=p
Cheers! The gender fights continue.....
Pam,
I was laughing so hard while reading someone's reply to our comments here, it is so unbelievably easy to suss out who is the true "fanatic" of your Operasi Train Jantan after all and it is a not a woman or a girl!!!
It's way too easy, girl.
"The ignorant man inevitably confines himself within ancient limits".
ATTN: adhojlim
– No no, haha. Who's fighting (apart from Leon)? This space wasn't meant as a gender war zone. But... I can see that that's where it's heading. Aih.
And you also too much! We never mean what we say!? You wait!
I wouldn't bother wrecking his house. That's be a total waste of my time and resources. I can't speak on my reader's behalf, though. Many live around "his area". Heh.
ATTN: Leon
– Leon bowing to us, girls. That sounds like something I'd rather much see than hear. I'd like that file in digital picture form, thank you.
Wa wa wa! Personal message! She reads Tinki Talks!? HAHA!
Hi! Nice to meet you, GfOfTheOtherLeon.
I don't mind the snakes but I think my hair's a lot neater than Medusa's. Couldn't you have used a better example?
YOU? Vaccinated against commitmentcoccus?! Backside! You've been dating for 5 years and you're not married yet though you're both "the right age". Stop running!
Train you until we turn PINK. Okay!? The colour is PINK. You'd be surprised but there are a great number of us who are akin to Spartan women. It's thanks to women like US who give birth to great men.
And what's up with firing Penang?! Wei! Leave that sacred land alone. Everybody's gotta start somewhere, right?! And just cos I'm FROM Penang doesn't mean I'm IN Penang. Assume not.
ATTN: Anonymous
– That's right! Preach it, Grown Man. You rock.
ATTN: Nisha
– Haha. It's always nice to have unexpected surprises as such la babe. Haha. I'll be thankful for that. Too easy. Way too easy. =p
Dinner.
Pamie,
Struck a nerve huh! Okie..Okie.. I raised both hands up high and appologize to Our pretty QUEEN of 'Operasi Train Jantan'= Pam Song!. May your kingdom reign and rise! Hahaha =P
Lesson learned from OTJ: Girls are particular about words!
Leon: Wihout we great men, mana datang the great woman like Pamie for the next generation huh? Right? Right? Wkakakaka =)))
wah wah wah! all the drama! would i be in seroius trouble if i mentioned that i was pam's co-planner in this? harhar
i thought the whole idea was to un-evolve men to the stage where they were still gentlemen like in those classical novels? MR. DARCY sighhh :) or MR. ROCHESTER sigggghhh :)
no need to get so personal lah leon. you like MCP only.
leon:
obviously there are no takers, yo!
no one's so free to entertain your whimsical needs. :)
ATTN: Mr adhojlim
– Wa wa wa! And the claws come out from Mr adhojlim! Finally. It's time to battle it out with both sides armed.
And what's OTJ? Could it be that you mean OTH?!
And yes. Girls ARE particular about words. Out of the mouth the heart speaks, okayyyy. Words cut deeper than any two edged sword. Remember that.
Cheh. Great men. Pfft.
*grumble grumble*
ATTN: esther
– Haha. Who cares if they know who you are? Like they can do anything about it. These men are so blah.
Haha. Un-evolve. Yeah, man. We need that. Oh, the monkeys many have become (again).
And the operation continues...
p/s: Mr Darcy better. =p
ATTN: supersara
– Way to go, babe!!!
Aiyoo...say until we men like that...there told u! Men always kena Crucified one! Hahaha! =))
Btw the arms of the men are not used to harm or declare war upon the ladies....but they are use to uphold the ladies when they need them....hahaha...=P
Talking about claws.... where I got claws...If I have it surely already kena potong by the woman that gave birth to me! I am harmless one you know....hahaha! cheers!=)laughing non stop....
adhojlim: hey no no no! dont get the wrong idea. we love men.
i mean... uh we're attracted to men. dont make us sound like we're making them sound so teruk lah! we're just trying to state that we have equal rights. different roles. that's all, and thats what we want to stand for. (altho this is waaayy unrelated to the post, but YEAH i'm also standing for the fact that boys need to grow up and become men. because some just dont.)
but some men are so blah, yah pam?
Esther: Yup! Yup! Preach it babe! We men falls for AAaawwww when the ladies reveal their small little voice "We love men". See.... men are as easy to please as the women.... Queen Pam....what did u called your operasi? hahaha =))just joking... crucify me not huh!
ATTN: adhojlim
– No no. Not to crucify you men. But to stand our ground.
*stomps feet for added effect*
And about that arm thing. I heard it beforeeeee! You stole that line! GIVE IT BACK!
Haha... Ooo, mama sakai kau kau, right? No la. She won't potong. She will sew you as punishment. One mistake, one stitch. Haha.
Ahem. And that operasi is called Operasi Train Jantan, since you asked. BE TRAINED!
ATTN: Esther
– Ooo, yes yes. We luuuurrrvvveee men. Heh. Attracted is what we prefer to use, though. Attracted to men, love MAN. =p
Yeah, it's equality. The issue here is equality. Why can't they see that?
And don't worry, babe. I thoroughly agree. SOME BOYS NEED TO GROW UP. Laggards.
Blah, blah, blah. Hey, you know what? Technically if you fall for someone blah, does that make you a blahee?
Wah Pam this really opened a whole lot of debate huh?
Hey just wanna state, why does it have to be pink? I like blue. It's all social programming that girls have to like pink and boys have to like blue.
Hey by the way, my lecturer was just saying the other day that they did a study on kids in the playground, and a little girl will do all the things in the park ably until a little boy comes around. and then she becomes all "weak" and asks the boy for help. And the thing is that she asks a little boy , not another little girl for help. I mean isn't it playing the weaker sex? I mean where did she learn that? My lecturer says one it might be through those Disney fairytales where the princess gets rescued! And the disconcerting thing is that Disney has made a statement-to the fact that it influences culture in a big way-that it's main responsibility is to it's shareholders, not it's stakeholders. Disturbing, huh? What do you think?
Haha. Yeah, this post did. And most of the posts that followed also ruffled male feathers. HAHA.
I didn't grow up a big fan of pink, too. I liked green and blue best. And yes, you're right... It's all about social programming. You'll learn all about it in Social Psychology. We are trained to behave in the ways that we do. There's nothing innate or natural about it.
And yeah. Sometimes, even at tender ages, young children learn to use gender bias to their advantage. I'm sure we've all done it one time or another. Girls use it to avoid stuff, guys do it so that they get positions of leadership. We all do it.
Disturbing, yes.
Used to it? Yes.
