You want to cop-a-feel of my bottom?

Well, be my guest if you really want a taste of my spiky heels!  First of all, I am not some  ‘champione du feminisme‘  and like other red blooded women out there, I do play the flirting games although I refuse being  tagged with cockteaser  tag. I let them burlesque dancers take the title (Dita Von Tesse, anyone?) 

Actually, I decided to write about this after reading an article about a woman in UK suing her former employer after he sacked her, following an argument  or rather, a heated confrontation because of his tendencies of pinching and slapping her bottoms and other sexual innuendos thrown her way! Tired of her boss’ constant sex harassment, she finally had enough and confronted him on his behaviour.  You know what did the former boss said to her? He said that she had it coming.  That she’d been casting some signals of possible rolls between the sheets to his direction. It’s in the way she dresses, every time there’s a boardroom meeting, it’s in the way she bats her eyelids.  The fact that the woman dressed appropriately in power suits apparently escaped his notice. Tsk..tsk..tsk.. Well, the lawsuit was filed in court and she won. The former boss was sacked with his reputation in tatters. Justice is sweet, ain’t it?

Now, a few weeks later, the actor Jeremy Irons has said in a controversial interview  “any woman ‘worth her salt’ should be able to take a pat on the bottom with good humour” The 62-year-old declared that such an advance is nothing more than a man indulging in friendly ‘communication’.

Such pompousness! Any woman ‘worth her salt’ will indulge in Jeremy Iron’s version of ‘friendly communication’ only when it involves some horizontal body positions or tango in bed and I bet you, it won’t be a mere pat on a bottom! Well, who could blame him? After all, this came from a man who freely admits that “his relationship with his wife as ‘dysfunctional’ and claimed that ‘part of our nature is to have as many partners as possible’. I say, this man doesn’t have the word ‘faithful’ in his dictionary. He’s still wrapped up in daze of the bygone eras of 60s and 70s, where alpha male believed that bottom grabbing was a testament of men’s triumph over the fairer sex!

Back in the 60s or 70s, women just gritted and bore the bottom grabbing and pinching silently.  The situation was like: You tell stories and be prepared to move office or quit the job altogether! The infuriating part was, the men got to keep their jobs! Back then, there wasn’t any specific law to protect women employees from leering male colleagues. However, the rise of feminists crusading for new bills/law/rights to protect women, especially sexual harassment, was finally paid off.  The lotharios learned to zip up their trousers, bind their wandering hands and curb their enthusiasms towards the fairer sex in workplace.  I do believe that law for sexual harassment applied to both sexes now.  Which is good and fair,  because men are also as vulnerable as women when it comes to sexual harassment!

Friendly communication is alright I guess, just don’t go around grabbing anyone’s bottom though. Unless you have some telepathic connections with the other party involved of doing the horizontal tango then by all means, go and grab each other’s bottoms! No one will give a damn if you ended up sporting blue black bottoms from all the grabbing!

Grandpa in his 20s?!

I'm not shocked, at all!

*I'm not discrediting UK and I'm sorry if this entry hurts other people's sensitivity 

Fact:
UK has the highest rates of teen pregnancies in the world, percentage of school dropouts, juvenile (hate) crimes running rampage on the streets of London, worrying surge of  unemployments and families surviving on benefits. There must be something wrong with their education systems!

An unemployed man, 29, has become one of Britain's youngest grandparents after his daughter gave birth at 14.

Shem Davies and his former girlfriend Kelly John, 30, were overjoyed when their daughter Tia, who was born when her parents were 15, gave birth to little Gracie earlier this month. Tia's boyfriend, Jordan Williams, is 15.

Shem said: 'It is an absolute joy to see Gracie thriving. I'm incredibly proud of Tia. She'll be a brilliant mum. At first I wasn't overly pleased that she was pregnant but I soon got over than. Now it's all about being positive.

'I've got to know Jordan and he's shaping up to be a decent young man,' Shem told The People.

However, nurses at the maternity unit were left embarrassed after they thought the young grandfather was in fact the teenage father of Gracie.

Apparently when he entered the ward they thought the 29-year-old looked so fresh-faced they asked him to prove he was over the age of 16.

But the arrival of Gracie wasn't easy as Tia was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, seven weeks before her due date.

Worried doctors decided their best option would be to deliver the tot by Caesarean section.

The condition, which often leaves expectant mothers with high blood pressure and protein in their urine, could lead to life-threatening symptoms for both mother and baby.

Tia said the contrast between the carefree fun of the school playground and then the fear of death for her and the baby was something she would never forget.

Happily after a 25 minute operation Gracie was born but only weighed 2lb and was rushed to the special care unit at the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend, which is close to the family home.

Little Gracie is still being kept in an incubator but has managed to put on enough weight which means she will be allowed home in a few weeks.

A week after Gracie was born Tia celebrated her 15th birthday in the ward surrounded by friends and family.

The teenager, who has been dating Jordan for 18 months and wants to be a hairdresser, said she didn't plan on celebrating her birthday in hospital but added that her baby daughter was the best present she could ask for.

Once mother and daughter have been released from hospital they will be staying with grandmother Kelly so that Tia can finish school.

Grandad Shem, who has a young son of his own, said he is keen to get stuck in and help Tia and Jordan settle into life.

Jordan, who sat his final GCSE just weeks before Gracie arrived, said he understands responsibility. 'I'm captain of the school rugby team and that's like having 14 kids.'

Despite her young age, mother Tia says that she would not be happy if newborn Gracie became pregnant at 14 but that she would do as her mum did, which is respect her choice to have a child.

She also paid tribute to her mother, who was 15 when she was born, saying that she could not have wished for a better parent and role model adding that they have a very close relationship.

Britain's high teenage pregnancy rate means that many more young people in this generation are set to become grandparents in their late twenties and early thirties.

The latest figures show in 2009 38,259 girls under 18 became pregnant, but nearly 50 per cent had a termination.

The UK still leads the way when it comes to young mothers, and our rate is five-times higher than in the Netherlands and twice that of France and Spain.

Grandpa on your 20s? Boy, am I glad being a Malaysian..

Kodak moments of the yesteryears..

LOL! Have you ever take out your ancient albums and relived your Kodak moments? I remember when I was little, I used to take out my ancient family's albums, full of my relatives' pictures! Oh dear, the amount of 'classic shots'  mostly in big hair, bell bottoms, wedges, jersey dresses, big lapels and etc etc.  The most important part in picture taking back on those days were: 

1.  Picture of you holding a stalk of artificial/real flowers

2. You, hoisting up a cassette/tape recorder player or as the kampong folks call as "rediu" on the shoulder, arm akimbo, leg propped on a rock/tree stumps

3. A black/white studio portrait of your family (normally the youngest child would be sitting on the mother's lap) and there's always a prop like an antique vast, blooming with artificial bouquet)

4. Your parents/aunts/uncles in big lapels and small shirt, wearing bell bottoms trousers

5. Fat side burns and  handlebars moustache, afro hair, big sunglases

6. Ladies in plank/platform shoes & jump suits

7. It's all about that thick/black eyeliners, baby! 

8. 80s fashion: Everything was NEON/bright colors 

9. Big shoulder pads, big hair, big collars, and ironically  high-waisted, skinny & flared trousers!

10. Those neon colored leggings & spandex!

11. Guys were still favoring those flared jeans/trousers

12. End of 80s: ripped off skinny jeans, acid washed jeans, neon colored fishnet shirts! OMG)

13. All the ladies were sporting 'kuriting kasar" hair styles

14. By this time, holding a stalk of flowers was not an 'in thing' but you rather had the whole flowerbeds as your props! 

15. The 80's and 90s: Your cool factor decrease if you don't own a KONICA/KODAK camera! 

LMAO, here's me and my cousin trying to recreate the classic kodak moment, circa 1980s:

Pose - checked! Bench - Checked! Lighting? very bad! i guess this pic would be great if we were in the park, with lots of light. HAHAHAHA...!

Cool illusion

Rest your weary mind and  take a short break :)

What did you see?

Adieu, Ms. Winehouse

Utter shock!

At a young age of 27, one of the most talented and gifted singer of her generation was found dead in her North London flat, suspected of lethal coctail of drug overdose and alcohol binge. Her turbulent life was widely followed by the vulture-hungry medias and gleefully aired to her anti-fans and adoring fans alike. To me, she might had her own personal demons to battle with but she's extremely one talented singer.  Her raspy and soulful voice was her USP.  Following her death, the sales of her records have been soaring up and mourners left flowers and other tributes outside her London flat.

Amy Winehouse, died at 27, like the other '27 Club' of musicians who died at that age (Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Janis Choplin & Rolling Stone's Brian Jones) left a legacy of her own - tragic death, too soon, too talented and too young to die. May her soul rest in peace..

Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned

It's true, it's a proven fact and the ensuing chaos after that won't leave you in peace.  Just ask this lothario here. As reported in a local daily:

A CASANOVA who allegedly cheated at least 10 women for the past two years was caught and taught a lesson of his life when the victims’ family members threatened to cut off his private parts, reported Metro Ahad. 

They also took naked pictures of him to ensure he would not repeat his crimes again. 

The suspect, in his 30s, was finally stopped when the victim’s family members decided to gang up to seek justice. 

The group also seized 15 mobile phones from the suspect and found nude photos of girls he had cheated stored in them. 

After discovering the nude photos, the group stripped the Casanova naked and threatened to cut off his private parts. 

However, he was not hurt as some of the victims’ family members did not want to break the law. 

The group’s spokesman, who wanted to be known as Haji Ali, said the victims’ families decided to take matters into their own hands because it would be hard for the authorities to prove that some of the victims were raped by the suspect. 

“We did this as a lesson for other people so they would not fall for this type of person,” he said. 

The families, Haji Ali explained, hired a group of people to help them track the suspect. 

“The incident took place around 8am last Thursday when the suspect was brought to a place for an ‘investigation session’. 

“When questioned, the suspect admitted to cheating at least 10 women whom he had met on Facebook,” he said.

I actually saw this in a discussion board of an online forum that I frequently log on to, just to check on the current topics that are being discussed and dissected! You could say that this forum is infested with megalomaniacs, the intelligent, the bored, the jerk, the jester, the delusional, the hamsap, the natural, the fascist, the racist, etc..etc. Why do I visit such online forum? Well, I indulge myself in people watching but don't mistake me for being nosey. I am not.  I like to observe human behavior. How they morphed themselves from being  square to triangle to round and other shapes that they could morph themselves into. Oh, I am far from being perfect and thus, observing their behavior/arguments help me in many ways.  They help me questioning myself about my intelligent, my low, my high, my worst/best personal traits and my sanity.

So, on the topic, one of the forumer's indicated: If he didn't rape those ladies...

I felt like he's saying : So what if he's a casanova? For all I care, he could wave his dick  to all and sundries if he wants to. It's not that he's pointing guns to those women's head. Is that enough to 'teach him some lessons?'

I am no Amazonian, but this typical "cat being offered fishes in a silver plate" kind of ruffled my feathers.  Not raping is not an excuse. He deliberately led those women with the notion of him being single. While I don't believe some of the women were not aware of his promiscuity, I do believe some of his gullible victims were under the impressions of him being sincere.  I have to say that for a person to say, "well, it's not that he raped that woman" it clearly indicates that he has a questionable sanity/morality. I'm not implying that I'm perfect but still, cheating and toying with a person's love and affections is a cruel betrayal. Oh, there were times I admired/lusted after other hot men, who were interested in me and I felt tempted and flattered but I guess I don't have enough guts to cheat. I simply didn't have the courage to risk what I had at the moment. Besides, I am also a firm believer of karma. What comes around goes around. What goes around comes around..

'til next post..

"Escalator Parenting"

Yes, I am talking about the real escalator, not in a metaphorical way. The ones in the shopping malls to be exact. Of course, to the seasoned escalator riders, they look pretty safe and harmless. Except for my mum of course. She hates riding escalators. She rather takes lifts or the stairs. She thinks escalators are devil devices which are going to swallow anything from shoes, slippers, skirts and even human! Such is her aversions for escalators!

Well, to be fair, I believe that my mum has a valid point.  There are some cases involving escalator mishaps.  Little kids' foot get caught between the steps/comb plate of escalators, people injured when the escalator they were riding down suddenly accelerated and they fell or were thrown at the bottom of the escalator, bits of clothes getting caught in the comb plates and etc. Personally, I believe that escalators are danger to small kids. 


There's one incident that left me furious! This happened like a few days ago. I was riding up this escalator and several steps in front of me there was this woman with her kid.  The kid's around 3 or 4 years old and he was standing and swaying in his short little legs. It might be because he had the difficulty of balancing his legs with the movement of the escalator.  The mother was oblivious of the kid's struggle and was busy talking on the phone. She did hold her son's hand but loosely! Suddenly, the kid  rocked front and back, left hand flailing and  fell down on the step. The mother kept on chatting away on the phone. The kid managed to pick himself up  but fell down again, for the second time, hitting the step knees first. This time around, the mother did noticed. Noticed reeeaaal good. What she did next was completely unbelievable. I was aghast, so did other people behind me.  She yanked up the kid's hand forcefully and  furiously slapped his right cheek, twice! Berating the kid for being naughty. The smacking sounds from the slapping was pretty loud that it made me wince.  I think, she's more furious because he had interrupted her phone chat. The kid yelped once but didn't cry. I have to say, witnessing such disgusting acts had left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. What kind of parents who care more for their phone chats than the safety of their small children while riding the escalator? Don't they realized that escalator is hazardous to small children? Such negligence is unacceptable.

Parents should supervise and pay attention closely when riding escalators with small children in tow. They should hold their child's hand tightly or even better pick them up.  If you have unruly kids, then taking the elevator is the safest way possible.

Negligence acts equals to casualties and fatalities. Better safe than sorry, no?
