Girl films rape of friend(OMG- what one earth is happening to kids these days)

Saturday May 30, 2009 (taken from http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/5/30/nation/4010589&sec=nation)

A 14-YEAR-OLD girl acted as a “movie director” when she filmed her boyfriend raping her friend using a camera phone.

The Form Two student even gave words of encouragement to her boyfriend while “directing” him, according to Harian Metro.

Police sources said the sadistic incident took place recently when the victim was asked to join the couple at a quiet area in Bukit Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.

The victim was told to keep an eye on the surroundings while the girl had sex with her boyfriend.

“After they were done, the girl told the victim to have sex with her boyfriend. The victim declined. They later adjourned to another picnic area near Sungai Tekali, Hulu Langat,” said a source.

The victim was then raped while being watched by her schoolmate who appeared to enjoy the ordeal. The girl contacted two other male friends who proceeded to take turns raping the victim.

The victim lodged a police report at the Batu 14 police station in Hulu Langat with her mother.

********************************************************
This is just so sick and the girl is only 14!!! And having teenage kids and nieces at home.. this truly freaks me out. How could a child do that to another child!!!

And worse, if a child can do JUST that, what WON'T she do when she gets older???

Study confirms mothers-in-law are the chief cause of divorces

By YENG AI CHUN (thestar.com.my)
KUALA LUMPUR: Every married person knows it, but a local study has confirmed it – mothers-in-law are the chief cause of divorces, especially in the Indian community.
Data in the Malaysia Community and Family Study 2004 by the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN) revealed that “meddlesome in-laws” is the number one reason why Indian couples get divorced.
It is also among the top three factors for divorce among the Malays and Chinese. The other two factors are incompatibility (42.3%) and infidelity (12%).
“Interference by in-laws is the main reason for Indians to divorce. It is the top-ranked reason at 30%,” said LPPKN director-general Datuk Aminah Abdul Rahman when presenting a paper on Malaysia’s family profile and its effects at Institut Kefahaman Islam Malaysia yesterday.
Infidelity is the marriage breaker among the Malays and Indians but it is tolerated among the Chinese.
“Among Malays, the second most common reason is infidelity and refusal to put up with polygamy,” she said.
“Among the Indians, infidelity is the second highest ranked reason for divorce at 25%,” she said.
However, the Chinese considered infidelity as the least crucial reason for a divorce.
Cheating was at the bottom along with health and gambling addiction at 4.2%.
Surprisingly, abuse is not a reason for divorce among the Malays and Chinese, but is a reason among Indians at 5%.
“Another overall reason which ranked high among the three races at 11.5% is ‘not being responsible’,” she said.
Although it is common perception that the family institution is quite fragile and divorces are rampant, data shows otherwise - only 0.7% of the population was divorced in 2000.
The data shows that divorce is more likely to happen to those under 25 and above 40.
Meanwhile, Women, Family and Community Development Minister Datuk Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil said that more Malaysian women were choosing to marry later in life and it could cause a reduction in fertility rate and an ageing society.
“The National Family Policy and its action plan will address this issue of late marriages,” she said.
The policy would be presented to the Cabinet soon

**********************************************************
Interesting news, but somewhat true, but it's not only mother-in-laws, sometimes, it can be sister-in-laws and so on, even the maid. It's actually whoever who is living with you in your house.
So once you get married, the best thing is just move out and live with your husband and no one else. ;oP
Maybe I've been seeing too much Indonesian serials like Cinta Indah 2 (where the sister-in-law and maid tries their damn best to create havoc for poor Indah to get her out of the house, and it doesn't help it as her husband's personal assistant is also doing her best to get her out of the way as the PA as her eyes set on marrying her boss)
Marriage is not a bed of roses and many times we hear people saying that once you marry someone, you marry his family as well, whether or not they are good or bad or downright psychotic, they are still part of your family and we have to respect these people no matter what.
I have wonderful in laws who have their own faults as well. Their fault? Being extremely suspicious and with volatile tempers. Being with around them is like taking a hike on an active but sleeping volcano, anytime it can blow up and spew lava everywhere.
So on my part, I do my best to keep the peace, cater to my mother-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law and keep out of the way if I think they are not in a good mood. Otherwise, I think I am blessed with them as well because they are good people and very caring and reliable.
We have to learn to accept people the way they are and work around it, not change them or keep on just looking at their bad points.
Let's face it, they are just humans and well, all humans have their good point and bad point and as long as they are not causing harm to you or your family, let them be.
Many people are always amazed at how well I get along with my husband's ex wife and so on. I simply accept her for what she is and respect her status in his life as mother to his older children. She is a good lady and helps out with my family too in a lot of ways and since we both respect each others part in my husband's life, we get along very well and she is like the sister I never had(me being an only child you know...)
We go for dinner together at times, shopping, she is there for me or my family when there is an emergency and vice versa. Heck, her mother and her maid actually babysits our (my husband and mine) daughter, Anne and she is Anne's God mother, and very protective of Anne.
When I tell my friends all that.. Most of them will turn back and tell me, "Wow, you really can accept all that huh? I don't think I can!!"
What is the point of being so petty, selfish or calculating? Or jealous over nothing? I really do not understand these people.
Actually, ladies, men are rather like kids, the more you dislike and deny them something or are suspicious over him doing something, the more the likelihood of them doing it behind your back.
I am so broadminded if my husband looks at girls I would even whistle or say "peeewittt" at them and he would get embarassed at times and admonish me for it.
And I am contented with my family members, and additional family members (kak Amy, if you are reading this... thanks so much and I love you and your family for everything!!!Let's do dinner again sometime soon)
And mother-in-law??? I hope I make a good one when the time comes. All I ask is that my son-in-laws and daughter-in-law respect me and accept me as I am.
On infidelity or polygamy, like I said, if he wants it so much, let him go, by all means, no use clinging to a sinking ship. There is still so many fishes in the sea. But before that and before accusing the man of unfairness, women, let's see what have we done that is not enough and try to give your husband the best of you. Truth is a man will always look outside what he cannot have at home, so always treat him like he is suppose to be the King of your heart, cater to his meals, food, pamper him every now and then.

I am not the perfect wife, but I do my best for my husband and gives him the best of me, I give him early morning rubs, and his coffee when he wakes up and so on. Prepare his meals, food and all. There are many a times I don't as I am working as well and tired, but make up by sometimes buying food home and so on. And I let my husband go where he wants and do whatever he want or even meet whoever he wants.
Marriage is NOT a bed of roses and it must take both parties to make it work. And it is a lot of HARD WORK. But my husband appreciates me still after almost 6 years of marriage and we are still going strong.
Polygamy is allowed for a reason, however the Muslim men who wants to do it must think carefully if they can REALLY be FAIR and EQUAL to both wives or all three wives or so.. If they CAN't then they SHOULDN'T or it will be a SIN!!!! (means if you give your 2nd wife a plate of chicken rice, the 1st one must have chicken rice too, and if you give your 2nd wife RM200 to spend, the 1st one must also have RM200 to spend!!! )
Frankly, I love my husband with every fibre of my being, but if there comes a time if he wants to marry another, I'm sure I will allow it BUT it must be with a very good reason(and NOT because she is so much younger and so beautiful) and if he can be JUST and FAIR and EQUAL..

Telling your wife she's not pretty may soon be an offence





















By MUGUNTAN VANAR ( http://thestar.com.my/)

KOTA KINABALU: A husband telling his wife that she is no longer pretty in an attempt to humiliate her can be classified as an emotional violence offence if amendments are made to the Domestic Violence Act (DVA)1994.

The plan is to amend the DVA for the inclusion of a clause on emotional violence against women.
Currently, they are only protected only against physical abuse, Women's Development Department director-general Datuk Dr Noorul Ainur Mohd Nur said.

She said on Wednesday that the aim for proposing the amendment was to safeguard women both physically and emotionally.

Dr Noorul said emotional violence was a form of abuse that would deeply scar a woman and lower their self-esteem, dignity and self-confidence.

“It could be a case where her husband tells his wife she is ugly or humiliates her until she feels emotionally pressured,” she told reporters at the end of a seminar on how to curb violence against women at Wisma Wanita here.

She added they were in the process of bringing the proposed amendments to Parliament.

State Community development and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Azizah Mohd Dun closed the seminar organised by Sabah Women’s Affairs Department.

Azizah, in her speech, said that there was a need for the law to protect emotional violence against women.

Azizah said there were a total of 99 cases of violence against women in Sabah in the first quarter of 2009 compared to 220 cases during the same period last year which was reported to the police.

OMG... LOL.... Never knew this could happen.. so can I sue my daughter too when she calls me fat??? Hahahah....

I think some women are just so sensitive they make mountains out of molehills. My husband tells me I am fat at times but it's just a reminder for me to slowdown on whatever I am over indulging(candies, chocolates), and work hard to look good again.

I admit, I have my lazy days and I tend to look uGleEEEe sometimes too.... But then I perk up and work hard at looking good again after that.

Afterall, there are no such things as an ugly woman - only lazy ones. There is just no excuse as we can see plenty of women who look 'ugly' or even 'fat' but once they take the time to shave, trim, apply some make up and dress decently, they really look presentable and good!!!

I for one, needs a makeover every now and then (goes for one every two months or three months at least once to remind me how I should be able to look like), get a picture done and put it a frame or something to remind myself how 'good' I can look .

Just think of the tinseltown and all the A listers like Madonna, Britney Spears and so on,even supermodels like Kate Moss and Heidi Klum, they do not look so drop dead gorgeous or beautiful without their make up and if they let themselves go... but they work hard and maintain their looks and play it up for the best and see how gorgeous they can be!!!

So ladies, take the time to pamper yourself and work hard to make yourself look good and feel good and if having done so, and hubby or such still say you're ugly, then by all means sue his ass off.. LOL . But if you have not done so, then do not blame others for it.

Of Contests and Freebies....

Hmmm... I can never ever resist freebies or contests, and I believe that the best things in life are free. And true enough I am lucky.
Ok, maybe not THAT lucky to have won huge prizes, but I think my stash of prizes I won is reasonably quite a lot as well...
Recently, I won Night at the Museum goodies and also A Sony BMG hamper from Women's Weekly worth RM700!!!! And I also got free STAGE makeup worth over RM400 !!!! Now is that luck or what??? I love it all and I still hope to win more...
I desperately need a trip or a holiday somewhere.. A break from all this everyday madness...
Can I get a phonecall,email or letter from someone /somewhere telling me I won a marvellous holiday somewhere please???? heheheheh
(No pics at the moment-some prizes have not been collected yet... might take pic and post here if I remember.... ;o) )

Someone emailed this joke to me and thought I'd just share it... LOL

An old kampung imam(a religious Muslim) had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession.
Like many young men his age, the boy didn't really know what he wanted to do, and he didn't seem too concerned about it.
One day, while the boy was away at school, his father decided to try an experiment. He went into the boy's room and placed on his study table four objects.
1. The Holy Quran.
2. A fifty ringgit note.
3. A bottle of whiskey.
4. And a Playboy magazine.
'I'll just hide behind the door," the old imam said to himself. "When he comes home from school today, I'll see which object he picks up."
"If it's the holy book, he's going to be an imam like me, and what a blessing that would be!"
"If he picks up the fifty ringgit note, he's going to be a businessman, and that would be okay, too."
"But if he picks up the bottle, he's going to be a no-good drunken bum, and God, what a shame that would be."
"And worst of all if he picks up that magazine he's going to be a skirt-chasing womaniser."
The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard his son's footsteps as he entered the house whistling and heading for his room.
The boy tossed his books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them. Finally, he picked up the Holy Book and placed it under his arm. He picked up the fifty ringgit note and dropped into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink, while he admired the magazine's centerfold.
"God have mercy," the old imam disgustedly whispered. "He's going to be an Umno politician!"

Radioiodine treament - Mother's

Got up early this morning, as usual. Today my mother had to go for her 2nd dose of high dosage 220ml radio iodine (which cost a whopping RM1750) , as part of the treatment for her thyroid cancer.
My mother was living with her boyfriend, so we arranged to meet in the hospital, where I went to pay some money for her to 'check in' and get warded. It took a couple of hours especially since her doctor ordered her to do ECG as well for her high blood pressure and we were there at the nuclear medicine department from 8.15am to 11 before she was taken up to the wards t be placed in isolation quarantine.
As this was her 2nd time, I did not have funny ideas running around in my head. During the first treatment, I was wondering if she would be glowing from the radioactive liquid coursing through her veins and bloodstream or turn flourescent. Obviously none such things happened.
However, along the same time as my mother, we saw a young teenage girl being warded as she had to go through the same treatment as well.
It is so sad, how such a beautiful young girl like her already have cancer cells in her and have to take radioiodine treatment at such a young tender age.
Anyway, will be back in the University Hospital tomorrow to pick up my mother in the evening once she is able to be discharged.

Kelab tiada dara/ "non virgins club"

Oleh Mohd Jamilul Anbia Md Denin (harian metro )
KUALA LUMPUR: Sekali pandang mereka seperti gadis remaja yang dikawal ibu bapa. Namun, sebenarnya golongan terbabit mengamalkan seks bebas dengan gemar bertukar-tukar teman lelaki berdasarkan simbol tatu kekal pada badan.

Tatu terbabit menandakan mereka menjadi ahli ‘kelab tiada dara’ yang hanya dikenali orang tertentu atau kaki tatu, antaranya lambang cinta retak, kala jengking, bunga ros layu dan kupu-kupu merah.

Gadis cetek ilmu agama berkenaan sanggup menahan sakit ketika mencacah tatu semata-mata untuk mendapatkan simbol tiada dara walaupun bayaran dikenakan setinggi RM150.

Trend terkini golongan terbabit itu diakui seorang gadis yang hanya mahu dikenali sebagai Kamalia atau Kim, 19.

Menurut Kim, minatnya terhadap simbol tatu tiada dara bermula selepas beberapa rakan tampil dengan bangga memperagakan tatu kepadanya

Dia yang bekerja secara sambilan sebagai pelayan di sebuah pusat hiburan di sini, mendakwa rakannya termasuk bekas pelajar sekolah yang kerap bertukar-tukar teman lelaki memakai tatu terbabit sebagai lambang pernah melakukan hubungan seks dan kelompok yang tidak percaya kepada konsep ‘suci dan dara’.

“Golongan itu yang mempunyai idea bebas menganggap gadis suci dan tidak melakukan hubungan seks sebagai kolot dan ortodoks.

“Oleh itu, rakan saya mendapat idea memakai tatu di bahu atau belakang pinggang sebagai simbolik kumpulan tiada dara,” katanya.

Dia berkata, bagi golongan gadis yang memiliki tatu itu, mereka kerap mendapat jolokan sebagai golongan ‘barai’ iaitu merujuk kepada gadis hilang dara selepas menjalin hubungan seks bebas dengan teman lelaki.

Bagaimanapun, katanya, hanya sekelompok kecil mengetahui rahsia tatu berkenaan berdasarkan simbolnya.

Kim dipujuk rakan untuk membuat tatu sebagai tanda setia kawan sebelum dibawa ke sebuah kedai tatu milik seorang lelaki warga asing.

“Selepas melihat katalog gambar tatu yang diberikan, saya bersetuju membuat tatu di belakang bahu kanan dengan lambang hati terbelah selain singkatan huruf awal nama bekas teman lelaki yang pernah meniduri saya,” katanya.

Proses membuat tatu hanya mengambil masa sejam sambil rakan memberikannya semangat. Sebaik proses menyakitkan itu selesai, rakannya meraikan kejayaan membuat tatu itu di sebuah pusat hiburan.

Dia kemudian diajak rakan untuk bertemu beberapa teman lelaki di sebuah kafe di Bangsar. Pertemuan singkat itu bertukar kepada acara ‘cari dan padan’ apabila masing-masing memilih pasangan yang bukan hanya boleh dijadikan rakan santai, malah boleh diusung ke bilik tidur.

Kim mendakwa sudah mula terjebak dengan aktiviti seks bebas seawal usia 16 tahun apabila dipujuk teman lelaki pertamanya yang juga anak seorang ahli perniagaan terkenal.

“Cinta seks kami hanya bertahan dua bulan apabila teman lelaki berusia enam tahun lebih tua meninggalkan saya tanpa alasan pun. Saya dipikat pula seorang pelajar kolej sebelum turut berakhir di ranjang selepas hubungan cinta putus beberapa bulan.

“Selepas itu, cinta saya bersilih ganti sebelum bertukar menjadi hubungan seks tanpa membabitkan soal komitmen atau perasaan. Ia tidak lebih hanya untuk suka-suka dan sekali sekala mendapat imbuhan wang atau dibawa membeli-belah lelaki berkenaan,” katanya.

Dia yang berjaya dipujuk wartawan supaya mendedahkan kisah silamnya mendakwa tidak pernah menyesal dengan apa yang berlaku berikutan ibu bapanya sendiri tidak pernah bertanya atau kisah dengan perjalanan hidupnya selepas tamat tingkatan lima.

Sementara itu, penceramah bebas, Ustaz Mohd Ibrahim, berkata Allah s.w.t melaknat umatnya yang bertatu, apatah lagi mengamalkan seks bebas atau zina.

“Perbuatan memiliki tatu jelas ditegah dalam Islam dan jelas dinyatakan dalam hadis Rasulullah,” katanya.

Bagaimanapun, menurutnya, orang Islam yang sudah bertaubat dan tidak berupaya membuang tatu boleh menyimpannya asalkan berjanji untuk tidak mengulangi perbuatan itu lagi.

“Namun, sebaik-baiknya tatu berkenaan ditutup dengan kain ketika ingin mendirikan solat supaya tidak menimbulkan syak wasangka atau salah faham pada umat Islam lain,” katanya.

*******************************************************

The above article was taken off the "Harian Metro" our local magazine that points out all our local social ills and such.

It is an article about how some teenage girls here in Malaysia who happened to be Muslims, nowadays value their virginity so little as to even set up a club known as the Non Virgins Club. Members are recognised by their tattoos on their shoulder or back which can depict a wilting rose, a broken heart, a scorpion or even a red butterfly. (mind you, having a tattoo is a no-no if you are a Muslim and well, having non marital sex is also a taboo)

These girls are all teenagers and well, had sex as young as 16 (at least the one being interviewed) though I am sure there are even younger ones around. They started of having sex with their boyfriends and then proceed to become swingers. Simply having sex with just anyone so they can get money or things.

They think that the religion is crap and that being a virgin is orthodox and so old fashion!!!!

Before this there was also a case of a schoolgirl who travelled every weekend to KL from her hometown in Trengganu on the pretext of studying. But she was actually moonlighting as an escort and went to sleep with older businessmen for money.

Amazingly she had a savings account of over RM70K all from her side "business"!!!!

Recently, my mother in law told me about how the religious council arrested two teens behind my mother in law's home. Apparently a teenage school girl was playing truant (wearing school uniform) and she climbed the back fence of her boyfriend's home and was with him when the religious people came and arrest them.

As a mother and stepmother of teenage girls, I am so scared this could happen to my children. Sigh, and the worse thing is sometimes, they are such great liars, we tend to believe them!! Please God, I pray and hope You will help me keep my kids all away from this.

SICK... SICK.... SICK people..... Oh God, please punish them !!!!

These people are soooooo sick... and worse then animals..

News Story 1 - Baby raped and sodomised
KUALA LUMPUR: For seven months, a young couple entrusted a family friend to babysit their daughter, now a year old.

However, their world came crashing down last Wednesday when they found out that their baby girl had been sexually abused. They suspect this could be the work of one of the babysitter's two sons.

At the family home in Bandar Baru Sentul yesterday, the 20-year-old mother said the baby had been in the woman's care from 9am to 7pm daily, six days a week, for the past seven months.

"I used to work as a clerk at a private company and my husband is a mechanic.

"We only had Sundays to spend time with our daughter.

"Last Wednesday, after picking the baby up from the babysitter's house nearby, I saw bloodstains on her private parts while changing her diaper. My husband and I immediately rushed her to a clinic."

The doctor there advised the couple to take the baby to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital, where she was admitted for three days.

"According to a doctor at the hospital, there were penetration wounds in my daughter's private parts, indicating that she had been sodomised and raped.

"The doctor said there were old and fresh wounds, meaning that my baby had been abused for some time now," the mother cried at a press conference called for by Segambut member of parliament Lim Lip Eng yesterday.

The babysitter has two sons, aged 21 and 26, who were at home most of the time.

On several occasions, she entrusted the baby to the two men when she had to go out.

"I never thought it would end up like this," the baby's mother said, adding that the baby was frequently feverish and constantly cried at night after the latest incident.

The mother had since quit her job to look after her daughter.

The family lodged a report at the Sentul police station on Wednesday night.

To add insult to injury, the baby's parents also claimed that when they lodged the police report, the investigating officer was rude to them, implying that they could have hurt the baby.

City police chief Datuk Ku Chin Wah confirmed that the baby had been sexually abused.

"We have not picked up anyone in connection with the case, but have asked the victim's family to come to the city police headquarters tomorrow to assist in investigations."

Ku also said they had recorded statements from the babysitter and her sons, adding that they were waiting for further medical reports.

On the family's allegations against the investigating officer, Ku advised them to lodge another report to facilitate a separate investigation.

News Story 2 - Girls allege stepmum beat, made them drink her urine
KUALA LUMPUR: Just because they did not take an afternoon nap, two girls were allegedly beaten with clothes hangers, forced to lick a toilet bowl and drink her urine by their stepmother.
For that, the 41-year-old woman was arrested at her flat in Desa Aman Puri, Kepong, last Friday.

The incident was alleged to have taken place earlier that day. Unable to withstand the torment, the two girls, aged 6 and 9, ran to a neighbouring unit and approached a kindergarten teacher who lived there.

"Both the girls had bruises all over their body and on their faces as well," a police source said.

The two girls told the neighbour that their stepmother had flown into a rage when they failed to take their afternoon nap.

Sickened by the girls' tale of woe and misery, the kindergarten teacher immediately took both of them to the Desa Jaya police station and helped them lodge a report.

Gombak police chief Assistant Commissioner Mohd Rahim Abdullah said the stepmother was picked up on Friday night and remanded for several days.

A source said police discovered two broken clothes hangers at the victims' home.

Both girls have been sent to Selayang Hospital where they are being treated for various injuries.
They are also undergoing counselling sessions. The Welfare Department is expected to take care of both girls once they are discharged.

Anne Syafiqa

This is a picture of Anne Syafiqa, the youngest daughter of mine, and her father's. She is a spoilt brat. She is the 'bridge' of all our families, bridging the divides between a blended family, and it is through her that my children have something in common with my husband's children. She is also the light of our lives(as well as a pain sometimes) and she definitely makes our life richer (though not in the monetary sense, since she is definitely learning to be a shopaholic and spend her parents money like there is no tomorrow!!!)
She is also a very lucky girl, as how many people can boast having 4 grandmothers, lots of cousins, aunties, etc... and all whom dote on her.Sometimes, I can't help feeling envious since I was the only child from a broken home and I had no one to turn to or talk to when things go wrong. But I am hapy for her, of course. Even her "Mama"(god mother), who happens to be my husband's ex wife dotes on her and is protective of her.
She is going to be 5 years old soon and well, she already knows how to act and lie when neccessary to save her own hide, especialy when it's in front of her father.
But she knows she is loved. She is our precious 2nd chance, the chance we( my husband and me)lost, which is spending lots of time, watching our other children grow up since we got divorced from our ex partners all those years. And that is a real gift from God. A 2nd CHANCE.
We both love you so very much, Anne Syafiqa... along with your countless relatives.

This is a poem I found somewhere by anonymous, which I modified for this posting...


When I held you in my arms for the first time,
I look down at your innocent face and tell you,
"I am your Mummy" and I tell you what good friends we'll become.

I promise you that My Heart will Always be a safe haven
Where my Love for you will know no obstacles.

I will ALWAYS have Faith In You and Believe in You.
My Home will Always Be Your Home.

YOU ARE MY SECOND CHANCE, Sweet Innocent baby.
My Second chance to bake cookies, and watch the
Sparkling anticipation in your eyes.

My Second chance to sit and rock a baby to sleep in
My arms, experiencing the tiny heart beating next to mine
As you rest upon my chest.

My Second chance to experience the wonder
Of a child discovering he can walk and blow
Bubbles into the sky. A Second chance to view
The world through the innocence of a child's heart.

I Promise to be there for you when you need me
To be and a source of strength when that's what you need from me.
To guide you through life
And make sure you are safe and unharmed

We may fight at times when we have our disagreements
But I will be firm and help you grow up
To be someone strong,filled with integrity, compassion
Filled with love and caring

Someday, you'll look back upon all the Times we Shared
And you'll Smile. The word "Mummy"
Will ALWAYS hold a special place in your heart,
Just as YOU have Always held one in mine.

A busy weekend... phew.....

Today's Monday... and I'm too knackered to even think about setting foot outside the house as I had an extremely "long" and exhausting weekend.
I was required to attend the National Sales Convention at the Sunway Lagoon Resort and Spa on Saturday and then the Annual Awards Night at the Sunway Convention Centre last night.
And on Friday, my picture came out in the newspaper along with another 200 agents.The National Sales Convention and Annual Awards Night is a kind of reward that Public Mutual gives to the achievers / qualifiers who at very least achieve at least RM850,000 sales in a year, in other words the more serious unit trust consultants.
Public Mutual to date has about 40000 over agents and unit trust agents but only slightly over 2000 people qualified for this.
I won a trip to Hangzhou along with having to attend those events. Well, once you confirm your attendance you HAVE to attend or a penalty of RM250 would be charged to you. (unlike some of my guests for networking events or so who simply say they'll attend but never turn up...LOL)
However I sold my ticket to another qualifier for her spouse, but now feeling slightly envious and regretful as if I had not done so, I would be on the plane at this very moment I am writing this, headed for a few days of Rest and Relax..
However I was not interested in visiting China, so I skipped.
Nevermind, my promise to myself is to attend the trip next year, which is Bali or Seoul.. Unless by luck some where in these few weeks some millionaire chooses to invest his millions with me and then I will be on my way to Dubai... :o)
Any millionaires reading this and feeling sorry for me??? Give me 3-5 years and I will make your money grow, that's a promise!!!!

The signage welcoming all qualifiers outside the hotel.
Rubbing shoulders with the champions.. (hoping some of their luck or expertise will rub off on me and one day I'll be the one holding the trophies!!!!)
Through Public Mutual, these people became millionaires or at least very soon...(in my case..LOL)

A little kitten named Ariel or is it Eric... Hmmmmm

As if we do not have enough cats living on our porch, a couple of days ago, this little mite turned up out from nowhere on our porch and sent my little daughter Anne into squeals of delight and excitement.
She was screaming something along the lines of , "Mummy, Babah, come and see, the cat is soooo cute!!!"
I was doing some work and had to rush out to see what was going on and found a scrawny but pretty looking cat. It had long fur , compared to the other occupants of my front porch.. which were 4 cats... Two black cats called Harry (but now known as Spider) and Ron (which can be kinda retarded, and so the poor thing is also known as the retarded one as he doesn't seem aware of danger or such - example when the car engine is started and the other cats have moved out of the way, the poor fellow is still blissfully sitting where he is.)
We also have an orange marmalade and white cat called Star (the only colourful cat in the house) and another grey and black cat called Forrest.
So Anne took the kitten in as her own. I saw that the cat was a female and told her such but she insisted she wanted the cat to be called Eric..
Then she will change her mind and call the cat Ariel and when we start calling the cat Ariel, she will call the cat Eric... Hmmmmmm.... and so it has been going on for the past two days!!!
Anyway I gave the mite a bath since she stank and dried her up, so she is cleaner for Anne to pet.
Ok.. so that begins the sweet relationship of a little girl and her cat... called Eric... or Ariel... or even Clarabelle at times.. LOL (I'm serious!!!!)

Child raped by cousin who took her home

PETALING JAYA: A four-year-old girl was raped by her teenage cousin at her home in Taman Kinrara after he fetched her for the first time from a nearby kindergarten.
The girl’s mother, a 35-year-old housewife, had asked her 18-year-old nephew, a restaurant worker, to fetch her daughter at 3pm on Tuesday as she had to meet a friend.
Subang Jaya police chief Asst Comm Zainal Rashid Abu Bakar said the teenager was asked to take the girl back to his house in Bandar Kinrara and wait for the mother to fetch her from there.
“Instead, he took her back to her house and forced himself on her. He then took the girl back to his house.
“The boy’s mother suspected something was amiss when the girl complained of severe pain in her private parts and couldn’t stop crying. When questioned, the girl related her ordeal,” ACP Zainal Rashid said.
He said the girl’s mother lodged a report at the Subang Jaya district police headquarters and the teenager was arrested several hours later

It just proves to show how sick some kids can be and we can't even trust our own relatives..

Dancing in the rain...


I got this beautiful story from a good friend of mine, Shukri... via email.. just posting it here to inspire my other friends....


It was a busy morning, about 8:30, then an elderly gentleman in his 80's, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.

He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him.

I saw him looking at his watch, and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.

On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound.

While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.

The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.

I inquired as to her health; he told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease.

As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.

He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.

I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are'?

He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is'.

I had to hold back tears as he left; I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, 'That is the kind of love I want in my life'.

True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.

With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there is one that comes along that has an important message.

This one I thought I could share with you.

The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.

I hope you share this with someone you care about. I just did.

'Life isn't about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.'

Best Divorce Letter, ever!


Dear wife:

I'm writing you this letter to tell you that I'm leaving you forever. I've been a good man to you for 7 years & I have nothing to show for it.
These last 2 weeks have been hell.

Your boss called to tell me that you quit your job today & that was the last straw. Last week, you came home & didn't even notice I had a new haircut, had cooked your favorite meal & even wore a brand new pair of silk boxers. You ate in 2 minutes, & went straight to sleep after watching all of your soaps. You don't tell me you love me anymore; you don't want sex or anything that connects us as husband & wife. Either you're cheating on me or you don't love me anymore; whatever the case, I'm gone.

Your EX-Husband
P.S. don't try to find me. Your SISTER & I are moving away to West Virginia together! Have a great life!


Dear Ex-Husband

Nothing has made my day more than receiving your letter.

It's true you & I have been married for 7 years, although a good man is a far cry from what you've been. I watch my soaps so much because they drown out your constant whining & griping Too bad that doesn't work. I DID notice when you got a hair cut last week, but the 1st thing that came to mind was 'You look just like a girl!' Since my mother raised me not to say anything if you can't say something nice, I didn't comment. And when you cooked my favorite meal, you must have gotten me confused with MY SISTER, because I stopped eating pork 7 years ago. About those new silk boxers: I turned away from you because the $49.99 price tag was still on them, & I prayed it was a coincidence that my sister had just borrowed $50 from me that morning.

After all of this, I still loved you & felt we could work it out. So when I hit the lotto for 10 million dollars, I quit my job & bought us 2 tickets to Jamaica But when I got home you were gone.. Everything happens for a reason, I guess.

I hope you have the fulfilling life you always wanted. My lawyer said that the letter you wrote ensures you won't get a dime from me.

So take care.

Signed,
Your Ex-Wife, Rich As Hell & Free!

P.S. I don't know if I ever told you this, but my sister Carla was born Carl.

I hope that's not a problem.

(read this over my Facebook page. it was great.. so am sharing it here with whomever who is reading it... Enjoy... LOL)

This is the mouse who ate my bread...and worried me sick...

This rat has been really annoying. I first noticed his presence when I found my bread (the Gardenia loaf) being bitten. Then my husband said that a bottle of my Virgin Coconut Oil just fell from the shelf and broke!!!
Then my bread got attacked again. I tried laying traps for him using salted fish and also mango but to no avail.
Yesterday when I got my cleaning lady in to help out with some cleaning, I found my rice flour bitten into!! Arggghhhhh....
Then my mother-in-law complained the dirty little bugger when and bumped into her leg when she was in the kitchen the day before.
So yesterday I toasted some bread and laid out the trap again and BINGO!!! got the dirty little bugger!!!
I took the trap out and laid it on the grass, and one of the cats living on my porch, Forrest could not resist tormenting it.
Afte a little while, pitying the poor critter, I asked my neighbours son (who has a "pencen" of catching snakes with his bare hands - very much the Crocodile Hunter style - and Cobras too, mind you!!!!) to help me release the poor critter but far away at the bushes /woods about 500 metres from the house..



My mini mother's day celebration... from my beloved husband and my daughter....

The venue was at the new Bangi Kopitiam but in Sungai Buloh. After two busy days catering for my mother and other mothers (mother-in-law, God mother,etc) I was drained, so we only had a mini treat.

My beloved youngest daughter and me...

This picture was taken by my daughter. She's an aspiring photographer as well...

The cashier counter.. nice huh.. The food is also pretty tasty and reasonably priced.

Pics of the event yesterday

Little Jordan who is 6 years old and very brave to give her speech in a roomful of adults and my little girl, Anne. Anne immediately idolised her.. My mother and Anne
Jeslina Hashim, local celebrity and Anne

The rich man and the swimmer...

One day this rich guy was having a party at his house. He was loaded, and
he had everything; money, a big house in Beverly Hills, drugs, girls, cars,
planes; anything he wanted.

The guy was also a little eccentric, and he had filled his pool with crocodiles. So there he was, him and his friends all standing around drinking, getting high and partying next to the pool.

The guy gets up on the life guard tower and all his friends look up. He calls for silence and says "OK, the first person the swims across my pool will get all my money."

No one moves. The guy looks over the crowd, draws on his joint and says "OK, the first person that swims across my pool gets all my money and my house."

Still no one moves. "OK then, the first person the swims across my pool gets all my money, my house and all my cars and planes."

Still, no one moves, not even a eye blinks this time. "OK then, all my money, my house, all my cars, all my planes, all the dope you can handle, all my property, all my stocks and bonds and investments and all the girls you can handle; everything I own."

"Splash!" Someone's in the pool. Crocodiles are all over him, but he rolls over like Tarzan, he's all over the place, fighting and dodging. Finally he gets out of the pool on the other side.

The rich guy on tower jumps down and runs over to him.

Rich Guy: "That was incredible! I never thought that I would ever see that done. Do you want the money now or later?"

Swimmer: "I don't want the money."

Rich Guy:"Do you want the house now or later?"

Swimmer: "I don't want the house."

Rich Guy:"Do you want the cars and planes now or later?"

Swimmer: "I don't want the cars or the planes."

Rich Guy: "Do you want the bonds, stocks and stuff now or later?"

Swimmer: "I don't want that either."

Rich Guy: "Do you want the drugs now or later?"

Swimmer: "I don't want the drugs."

Rich Guy: "Do you want the girls now or later?"

Swimmer: "I don't want the girls."

The rich guy looks at him and says "Well what the hell do you want?!?!"

Swimmer: "I want the bastard that pushed me in."

Happy Mother's Day...

Just got back from the Longchamps /Marie Claire event held at the Cocoon at The Gardens. Met up with my mom and had breakfast at DELIcious. Then we went for her hair makeover at Centro and then makeover at Dior in Isetan. On my part, I got my own makeover from Anna Sui over at Isetan.
Then took my mother and daughter to Little Penang to have Curry mee there and then we went back to have our portraits taken. It was pretty nice.
When the actual event started, we made some new friends. I was lucky to meet a few very nice people around. Aunty Amy whose daughter happened to be the national gymnast Dr Farah Imran, Nina and her mother and even Jeslina Hashim and my aquaintance, Dewani Zolkifli and her mom who looked more like her elder sister...
It was fun as we watched the sneak preview to Longchamps' Autumn /Winter collection and also view a makeup lesson by Dior.
Then came the sharing part which was kinda touching and emotional. But I suppose sweet. The youngest sharing part came from an adorable little girl age 6!!! The youngest and so intelligent. She was one of the winners naturally to walk away with the RM3000 over bag.
Anyway.. HAPPY MOTHER's DAY to all mothers..........

Secretary accidentally bites off boss’ penis


A SECRETARY accidentally bit off the penis of her employer while giving him oral sex in a car.

Sin Chew Daily and China Press reported yesterday that while the 30-year-old woman was performing oral sex on the man, the car was hit by a reversing van.

The impact of the crash, China Press reported, caused the woman to bite off her lover’s organ.

The daily reported that the incident occurred in a Singapore park where the couple met after work.

To make matters worse for the woman, her husband had sent a private investigator to spy on her after suspecting that she was being unfaithful.

The investigator said he had followed the woman and her boss to the park.

“On reaching the park, they did not alight from the car. Not long after, the car started to shake violently.

After the car was hit by the van, there was a loud scream from the woman whose mouth was covered with blood,” he said.

The woman later followed her lover to the hospital with part of the sexual organ.

The investigator, who called an ambulance to send the man to hospital, said that this was the first time he had encountered such an incident.

Preparing to go for a kenduri (wedding lunch) near my home...

Living in the rural area or 'kampung' means living within a close community, and that means whenever there is a wedding, you get invited. These wedding luncheons are usually during weekends from 12 noon to 4 pm where guest are invited to come and go anytime. Food gets served in a mini buffet style. The bride and bridegroom usually make an appearance at about 1-2pm, but many of these guests don't even see the happy couple as they come for the food and some little token aka "goodie bag" which can be anything from a hardboiled egg, some sweets or chocolates, a cake or a face towel, pot pourri or anything...
Food usually consists of white rice, rendang or curry and chicken and some other dishes and fruit and drink.
My daughter, Anne loves to dres up in her baju kurung as she thinks it's a "baju raya" new clothes worn for Eid Fitri Raya celebrations. And she even love it even more if we have a little makeover for her, hair, and makeup.




Some pics to share....
