dear jess,
what do women want really? and why on earth dont men get us? its a question probably before the dawn of time considering that we are two totally different beings who despite the fact ive had had best friends who are guys, still manage to leave me in total puzzlement.
As a pro modern woman, why i mean seriously WHYY...
WHYYYYYYYY do women want to be competitive at work and YET would love it if you opened the door for them?
WHHHYYYYY would women want men to see them as equals and yet want to be coaxed when their crying?
and most of all, whilst playing futsal- which in case you guys dont know is probably the next feminist movement of today, WHY do you have to GIVE us the ball or on the other extreme IGNORE us totally? guess what guys? the girls can play! and if that hurts your egos to much, guess again cos some of them can play much better than you!
Okay, so ill stop the male bashing for one second and help you to try understand our difficult consequences. Girls havent been playing since they were young, unlike guys, hence the slight advantage that its second nature to guys. However girls can play and its just like if you added a new guy team member to your team, and guess what? even that guy doesnt get what i call the PITY PLAY that we girls do.
hang on guys, just a bit more.. Do you know that women have to work three times harder than guys on the "field" because they need to proove themselves twice as hard, and then at the back of their heads they are aware that the men feel uncomfortable with them on the "field", hence playing 'softer' or you know.. its not a real game.
So i know you tell me that in "REALITY" there are no mix leagues anyways, but really this is beyond the game? its an attitude of how guys treat us in reality as in, in the game!
Which brings us to the next problem of which the guys are probably frustrated by now? So what do girls want? Do they want to be treated extra special in work or in games? Would we like it if the guys were tooo rough? if we dont give them the ball, we're mean, if we give them the ball, we're mean too? i mean girls seriously how do we want to be treated?
So lets compromise to answer this one? Girls get off that pretty looks and long hair and go grab the ball, don't expect the guys to give it to you, if you want to be treated equally. AND guys whilst we dont want to be pitied, when we happen to be in your team? i think we should be treated just that way, we might, might just LIKE YOU GUYS miss one or two kicks, but we'll get there.
Whilst we let the men be men, dont forget that the women still want you to open their doors, and be a gentlemen, right after that grueling game!
Still confused? well its simple, women arent a bi-product of a singular answer, just like men.
yours kicking and fighting,
jess

WhEn yOu ASS-U-ME u MaKe aN ASS oUt oF U aNd ME
dear jess,
i learned some years back from 16 year old then, that the word ASSUME means when you assume you make an ASS out of U and ME. Words of wisdom from a person almost a decade younger.
i Assumed that you didnt want to go to dinner so i didnt ask, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that that the world is unchangable, so i dont try, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that despite my deep disatisfaction with the way things are runned in this organisation, that lil ole me can never do anything about it, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that just because we are close, that i dont have to ask you how you are doing, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that just because you say things without thinking, that people would forgive you, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that just because security means money, all couples should be rich before marriage. who's fault is that?
i Assumed just because our parents created us, they have every right to right off our friends, girlfriends, and boyfriends, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that just because im a parent, my child is the tamest person on earth, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that just because that girl is sexy (and this term can be defined in a 100 ways) that makes her a bad person too, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that just because someone has had a bad history that she is always going to be that way, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that its okay to tell everyone about someone else, as long as they dont tell anyone else, and when everyone knows who's fault is that?
i Assumed that people should forgive me in an instant but i have every right not to forgive them for what they did to me, who's fault is that?
i Assumed just because a girl hangs out with lots of guys, that that makes her a bad person, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that just because someone has flexible work and study hours, that they are lazy, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that just because i've had a huge tragedy in my life, that its okay to do the whole self pity thing and be justified, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that just because i've had it BAD that no one else has had it WORSE, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that its okay to impose my views on others, just because i once again ASSUME im right, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that its okay to leave a friend behind on a field trip because i couldn't wait, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that because its really difficult to say sorry i dont have to, who's fault is that?
i Assumed that i dont need to say sorry, because you know what? it was never a mistake, only an ASSUMPTION after all, and we cant blame that now can we? and after all we do ASSUME that as friends we should just forgive each other, isnt it? i mean im not wrong not to assume that right?
i assume, it hurts when people assume, what do you think, ass? i mean jess?
yours assumingly (PS what makes u assume im writting this?)

eVerYoNe's eATiNg tOeNaiLs, i ThInK i ShOuLd ToO!
dear jess,
im feeling really passionate and idealistic tonight. yesterday i took a plane to my ideal country spain, and guess what? everyone there eats toenails. No kidding, and so i thought about it for a while, it seemed silly i know but i decided to ask a commoner. Hey whats with the toenails? and well apparently it was a norm, an accepted thing and so if i didnt do it id be weird. So i went ahead and took a toenail and just as i was about to put it in my mouth i woke up.
What makes us do the things we do? or more importantly what makes us accept the things we do? Why do we sit back and accept the fact that we will end up in a white collar job, get married before our 30s have two kids and die- thinking our lives were nice and complete? What makes us accept the fact that because things were done the same way as they've been 10 years ago it must be right? what makes us believe that our lives will end up happy? What makes us sit down and watch whilst indonesian's and philipino workers have absolutely no rights, and no ones fighting for them, what makes us sit back and knowingly let them be punished by fellow malaysian's? what makes us think that it is the mad men who are crazy and not us? What makes us think that women are the ones who needs rights to be fought for whilst men suffer in silence? What makes us think that we shouldnt stand up and make a change? Who on earth let us think that it was wrong to be idealistic?
Its funny, our paths have been set out in our head even before we realised it. When we were young and idealistic we swore we wouldnt spend ten hours at a job in front of a computer for the next 20 years of our lives. Is that so wrong? No but neither is leaving every comfort and security behind, taking all your money and travelling the world.
Why do we accept the fact that change has to be done by someone else, and not me? Because we're too comfortable, and because we love the taste of toenails..
Yours in the midst of spitting some nails out,
jess

I hATE wEaRiNg hEeLs sO sUe mE!!
dear jess,
Being a woman like me, and yes i do sometimes would like to be thought of as a woman, i was wondering if you ever wondered what really makes a woman? Should we all be dainty, presentable and soft spoken? Nothing wrong with those characteristics, but what about women who wear their hair short, and are big bonned? and what about women who are well not so on the soft side and speak out right? what about women who dont want to stay at home when they are married, hates cleaning the house and thinks manicures are a waste of time? are we any less a woman? heck no! are we any less attractive? i hesitate to answer that..
Now see, i was thinking about this and i realise that despite the fact that we've entered into worlds of change since our parents' time, alot of men still find a typicallly 'woman' very attractive. Whilst im not saying that women should just 'let go' and not look after themselves, are women more accepting of men and how they look? Are we the ones who end up with beer bellied men and accept it anyhow? Or are women culprits to the whole idealism of what a men should OWN rather than BE in preparation of a relationship? Worse still are women just as guilty if not MORE of placing 'womenly women' on a high up pedestal of what a "REAL WOMAN" should be??
I have to admit that i realise this through my own dreary mistake that i so would love to blame on the upbringing of society, but i am society. Upon looking at a girl who was beyond dainty but nevertheless beautiful beyond skin deep, i made the comment that 'she would grow out of it' in my mind thinking that it was a phase. And what if it isnt? Does that mean she would be lesser of a woman, or less attractive?
Im talking about beyond "womenly" personality. So we dont speak softly, we're competitive and maybe we're not always "beautiful" (dont even get me started on the meaning of beauty..), but never short of being a woman.
Well enough said, i dont think a woman should say so much? what can i say im a product of
so-cie-ty.. haha
yours, a different kind of woman and proud of it,
jess

dear jess,
Come this new year, should i say "happy new years"? much more should i say "blessed new year"?? what should i say? do tell me because i do not know. I sit here and watch my tv of graves and graves of unamed bodies in them. Families wailing of what seems like an after math of a war. Bodies flung unknown, unrecognized, unclaimed. Families walking through bodies after bodies, with the unimaginable task of identifying their loved ones!
And yet, i remain unmoved, unscared? Tens of thousands of families will be crying tonight and on the eve of new year, tens upon thousands will face poverty and hunger, tens upon thousands will scoff at the new year they will not even notice has come, tens upon thousands still looking for their loved dead. And i, one person, can sit here wondering what is to be wished come new years eve?
Make a pledge, move from the clasping of tv remotes to the clasping of prayerful and giving hands?
In human intercourse, the tragedy begins not when there is a misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.

dear jess,
chun liang got married! on Christmas day. it's stil surreil. haha... It was so sweet tho.. a garden wedding in cyberjaya, with "waterfall" in the background! its just a surreil experience because, usually, weddings attended are people your family knows, or your relatives, but not really a good fren. i think the best part was hearing chun liang saying his vows.. its was SO sweet. im not a sucker for romance and i pity the man who would want to marry me someday, but chunliang's wedding actually gave me the feel that weddings can be nice and relaxed, without the fear of 'committing your life away' to someone else.. no turning back. Did his wedding make me reconsider my pre conceived ideas and negativity about a married life? haha... we'll see.. ill ask him what its like after a few years.
It did however make me consider and think deeply about the possibility of a continued 'best-friendness' with a guy. You know me jess, forever thinking that its possible to walk againts the tidal waves, but perhaps ive come to my realisations. Its possible if you were married, to have a guy fren as your best fren, to go out for beers or teh tariks and tell your wife so, but with a woman? Its possible to call a guy your best fren but a gal while you're married is being unfair to your wife.. because really she should be your best friend?
Dont get me wrong, im in no way complaining about my friends.. (yet :)), its just stuff you wonder when you watch your friend take that plunge.
Well, perhaps it is true that there are only certain regions i can go, and perhaps someday i'll 'marry off' all my male frens and then i'll be left to wonder once again, the boundaries of opposite gender friendships and ill probably ask myself why i didnt make good friends with more girls..
Until that day comes however, i think i'll mjust make do with my imaginary friend, Larry...
your female friend,
jess

i fEaR cHriStMaS jUst aS mUcH aS i FeAr FeAr????
dear jess,
A really weird thing happened today at music & arts ministry christmas' last rehearsal. After the first run i was about to 'scold' the team.. haha... and to my amazement, shock and worse of all HORROR i felt like crying. my voice started to crack, and i couldnt talk! i couldnt control my emotions, as i expressed deep sorrow and dissapointment in the choir's lack of focus. What was happening?? and in public? was i about to express tears in front of everyone and pleaseee what will people think?
Well, thats that, and i still dont know what people think, altho i didnt break down in tears. But honestly, what is wrong with expressing our emotions in public. I mean what is wrong with people who go aroung thinking that the only right emotion, is.. really NONE. Too much happiness means you're insane, too much tears means, your life is going wrong, too much anger means its wrong for you to react that way.. and by too much, i mean showing any emotion at all.
Sigh, now that im done babling.. im not looking forward to Christmas, simply because i fear it. The first Christmas without mama and aunty Marie. I fear how its gonna be, I fear not knowing how everyone willl react. This is one Christmas, none of us are looking forward to. And you know whoever said time heals all wounds?? i think he was a liar.. Probably the same person who endorsed a non - emotional society..
your sadly, happily, and angrily,
jess

i nEeD a CoFfEe bReAk bUt LiFe sEeMs tO hAf rAn OuT oF cOffEE?!!
dear jess,
as i sit here writting to you, my body feels like it wants to sleep, a rarity for a nocturnal person like me.. and i wish i had enough will power to go down and make myself a cup.
Mocha frappucino
Starbucks. late saturday night. Micheal Drieberg spends me! i have a HUGE cup of coffee and end up being wide awake the night before an early morning church day. BUT the worst part of all??? i decided to switch slippers before getting down from the car, and end up wearing a nice sandal on my left leg and a BATHROOM SLIPPER on my left!!!!!
Americano
Gosh i wished i had americano this time! URGHHH!!!! where do i start on this one? the dawn of greed and capitalism has nibbed me in the butt and it has a perfect way of making itself sound correct! Faced with the choice of taking up a 'chance' to make 50 thousand bucks a month, and the surreility of 'multi level marketing' i scoff at the idea that i have to invest money which i do not have, to gain money which i MAY not make, to keep money which will someday fade. Oh no, i need money, who doesnt? but its HORRID the way some people say 'why should i be wasting time when i can use this time to make more money' so let me get this right? you work 8 hours a day, to come home to go out again to make more money? And subsequently complain about having to pay off expensive debts? count me out, palahniuk would be gravely dissapointed with me. "You are not the contents of your a wallet"... (fight club)
Black Coffee? Make that 5 cups please....
sigh... it looks like they've run out of coffee. or at least it feels alot like it. Death has made its way to my mind again. Except this time, its different. Joops mum passed away Monday morning. She passed away of cancer. I remember the last time i met her was in uni days, and i wished i got to visit her again, but as it turns out that was not to be. I'll remember her as the jovial, fun, outgoing person.. trust me, she was a one of a kind mum. as a person, her daughter testifies, that even in hospital, suffering in pain, she asked to buy a gift for another cancer patient opposite her bed. Amazing huh? to be able to show love when you are suffering. It reminds me of Jesus.
think ill go make myself that cuppa now.. what shall i have?
kOpI 'O'
love,
