With regards to the article on "Related to Malaysian royalty but She went from Haute Couture to Hot Dogs" featured on The New Paper, Our Sunday 29th of June 2008.
Tengku Rozihar Tengku Zainol Abidin mentioned this phrase that I totally respected her for, "At home, I still pick up his clothes and prepare food for him. As an individual, I'm very traditional. I believe in being the 21st century woman, but not forgetting about my duties as a wife and a mother."
Why do I say that I respected her for it? Simple because she's a modern lady with a traditional aspect in her life. I know this is kinda a touchy topic to speak about, however it's my opinion... so heck with the comments eh.
Anyway, let's firstly establish the stand that I'm not being a sexist nor a sadist. And the Asian ladies and Western ladies had different household values from the start. Why? Reason being, that Asian ladies were taught to grow up to be mothers and housewives (mostly in the past, but some still do that) while Western ladies were taught to go out there and explore and enjoy. It's really a different culture.
Ok, back to the topic, being a very successful lady yet knowing that she had another responsibility to take care of her children and her husband is really a difficult job and also a tiring one. I do understand her situation, however, she being able to balance out her life and yet continue believing in it... it's really commendable.
How many times do you see news of mums abandoning their children? Wives divorcing their husbands and leaving their children behind or bring their children away? It may have a link or it may not. However, maybe one day if humans were to believe that nothing is impossible and things will work out when you believe that it will... things might change. Life will be easier to live and more joyful too. It may seem as an utopia state, however, nothing is really impossible.
Why had the World advance to it's current stage with regards to technological advances? No one believed that Bill Gates could sell his products of Microsoft once, but he believe and succeeded. No one believed that Singapore can be successful and grow when colonial rule ended, yet being where it is today, it's about believing and achieving it.
As the world becomes a 'better' place to live in, humans became complacent with their kind and became selfish to their own needs. They do develop the traits for working hard and really hard to the point that they fail to develop the traits of being caring towards one another and to love one another. The most basic law given by God, "To love one another, just as how I love you"...
I was kinda sadden by the news that one of Rovers quit scouting. Well, I termed her as tight skirt (no offence :})... she was really a potential yet to reach her maximum, yet she was gone just like that. I asked my friendly neighbour why? She replied that it was due to personal reasons. Maybe I'm kinda pushy, yet it's an irritating feeling to see a fellow sister to leave scouting just like that. Thus, I opened the option to come over to SandS if she is interested. Hopefully she would consider... I pray.
So many politics... so many that I would gladly avoid all of it and just live my life simply how it is suppose to be. Can't life be made simply? Can't people stop politics? It's not even beneficial for the people around, yet it continues to go on and on. Why?
Life is about holding on to what's dear to you and to protect it, is it?
Promises are meant to be broken, is it?
The higher the expectations, the harder the fall, is it?
It's a weird experience to try to protect something you cherish and had pride in. Have you seen a group of leaders going out of school, like a group of mafia, just because some idiot from an express class (supposedly the smartest class among the others) shouted something negative to the unit?
Have you seen a leader shouting back to an officer due to his simply ignorant comment about his kids marching in the contingent?
And have you seen a leader willing to give his or her life for the very passion and hope in?
Well, it's time to open your eyes and look around. Cos' you might be one of these very people, yourselves.
