What is it with make-up and high heels? Are the men so insecure about their apparent lack of self-constraint that they have to blackout anything women do to look good and feel self-confident? And I mean ANYTHING!
First, there was a whole pea-brained breed of (gasp!) university student society or some sort that came out with a conclusion that the white school uniform encourages more sexual activities and rape. Instead of defending their own gender, they went out to tell everyone that YES! It's our fault for wearing uniforms which has been around forever and to make men leer at us while doing so! Thank you SIS for defending us females against the pea-brained people!
Hell! You think us females LOVE to get raped? Go brainwash your pea-sized brain! You twerps!
And I just read recently about the whole lipstick and high heels issue in our Darul Naim state. Sometimes, I just wonder if all these were done just for the heck of it or they have nothing else better to do.
Why is it always pointing to the females? Shouldn't the men keep their "urges" and "little brothers" in place? Sheesh!
And don't let me start on concert ban issues. Each time a concert is organised here in Malaysia, there sure will be some out of tune voices staging protests, drawing up petitions etc - whatever for? They always bleat the same old excuse - that our younger generation will become rotten apples. With what? Some melodies and tunes and a little dance on stage? Get real-lah people!
I know this is not the normal kind of post I put up but really - some people should really go back to school and re-think life!
I got this from my e-mail today, and thought that this is something nice and meaningful to share with you.

| The Mayonnaise Jar & 2 Cups of Coffee |
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes'.
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things - your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions - and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.
The sand is everything else - the small stuff. 'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents.. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'
The coffee just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'
Please share this with someone you care about... I JUST DID
It's the witching date. And day. Luckily I'm not watching "The Happening" today. Will become so happening if I do - pun intended. Suppose to watch "Kung Fu Panda" today but did not happen due to unforeseen circumstances. MC, parties, hangouts to go to.
It has been a hectic week. Got back from the convoy weekend on Monday. Work work work the rest of the week. Scapegoat for attending meetings which people forget or could not make it. Paperwork. Sudden surge of organising responsibility. And no commendable status for me while I'm it!
Baby Aidan Lee's 1st birthday party later. Got him a present which I so like it I can buy it for myself. Hope he's gonna enjoy it. I know I WOULD! Haha!
Became an aunt again. Dharma-neh and Swee Hoon-ka just had a bouncing baby boy last Sunday. Date of birth? 08.06.08 - Nice eh! I can so see the ekor aunties and uncles buying numbers now. Haha! Dharma-neh said if not vetoed out - the baby's name will be Aidan Xuen Dharmaraj. Big brother is Ari Xuen Dharmaraj. So the ethnic wan! Hehe...
OK. Killed my time writing this. I'm off to a kiddy's party! Have a great weekend!
