inequality..

i downloaded the first episode of 'lipstick jungle' just to see whether the story is nice or not..so far its not dat bad..will download d 2nd episode later..well, its from the creators of sex n d city but in lipstick jungle there are only 3 main women characters..with 2 married and another stil single..n all these ladies are very successful in new york..

n so one of them was having some marriage problem cuz her husband felt that she's more powerful than him... she was sad because its kinda not her fault that she became successful. she worked hard for it.. n so now she's scared that her marriage would be over because of this issue.. i have yet to know the rest because its in the next episode..

my mom once told me that her fren who is a successful doctor kinda have trouble finding her soulmate..she had no boyfriends during her study life cuz she was bz studying..when she became a doctor, most guys were scared to approach her cuz of her high position..after several years, she ended up getting married to her assistant. so my mom always ckap..blaja kuat2 tp jgn tinggi2 sgt..nnt kang tak kawin..hahahahah.. takpe la mama..tak larat dh nk blaja nih..saket otak.. keke

it's always this problem isnt it? gender inequality.. or sexist?

i know dat most of d guys still have this ego that they must be more 'powerful' than women..well, im not saying like total power over women or wat..but its kinda like being some sort of the leader. the breadwinner..well, i dont deny dat surely..i think that men were created because of dat.. its nature..dat is one of the thing that differentiate between men and women. well, women also have their own specialitites..n so i think women and men complements each other..

but nowadays u c women as presidents, leaders, prime ministers..even some getting the title Dato' but not their husbands... i always wonder, wat about their husbands? should we call the husbands Datin? haha.. hmm so wat now?

for the future of cuz i'll work..but not for the rest of my life kot.. like my mom, my dad kate tak payah keje la pas kawin..n so she didnt..so wateva she learnt she taught the children..haha..i tak mau ok! penat jek nih study kuat2..tak tdo mlm..of cuz i'll work.. but i don have any ambition to be like the president of the company or wat..haha..dlu ade la merepek nk jadi governor..wkakka..takpe la ye..i rather open up my own business in future..hehe..

so should us women work hard and be successful but shall not overshadow men? should women be left with children at home and do all the housework? or should it be equal?

LAWAK kenyataan ini...hahaha

sometimes perhaps the biggest sacrifice is to not overshadow ur husband...

i cam tanak kerja tinggi sgt kot, sbb takleh imagine juggle everything, kerja, husband, anak2 (bayangkan i ni tuhan hindu tgn byk2) hehe...TP i still need to work because my husband will NOT be able to support my make up and fashion needs! hoho!

To me, there's no such thing as overshadowing Men.
There's bitches and there's jerks.
There's woman with higher IQ than man.
There's man who cooks superbly than woman.

But husband is the family leader.
And under mother's feet is where Heaven lies for all men.

Woman can overtake the family leadership, if her husband died.
Heaven always be under a woman's feet.

We are born equally.
Different entity but equally important.
Both have powers to affect CHANGE to the world.
eg: female doctors/nurses at war sites, a mother of 12 adopted kids, a businesswoman who owns a food company or fashion boutique.

We often didn't realize.
Being able to CHOOSE is a powerful gift.
In the end, the best life we chose to live is where

We do the best we can with what we are born with.
(eg: born royal, geniuses or born parentless)

Do the best, on decision we've made - No Regrets.

Never stop to care & learn.
And be happy.
Only then, we've lived fully.

We are what we are.
