what to call this one?

I've decided to delete a few of my nastier blogs, because they have been offending and upsetting some people. I regret that, and hope I'm not perceived as a bigot.

I often blog about the negative aspects of Malaysia, due to my limited amount of patience and tolerance. Or it could be my extraordinary high standards that I set for myself and others, and when people don't (intentionally or not) live up to them, I get angry. This is my major weakness; that and my very delicate ego.

One thing I hate more than what gets me angry, is having people angry at me. This is a total oxymoron I know, and a seemingly easy thing to fix, but I struggle with my ability to 'let things go' on a hour by hour basis!

I get angry at bad driving, people who are inconsiderate, dirty and mannerless, people who litter and a whole host of other things that make everyone angry too. The trigger for me is when they get away with it. That's when I get pissed. When I see someone beat the red light or drive like a madman, and the cop RIGHT THERE doesn't do a thing! I've seen it more times than I can count, and I am more fed up with the police than the driver. Many times I've said that I'd love to be a cop here - I'd clean up the place so fast - but Dee reminds me that I'd be targetted for a hit before the end of the week. That in turn makes me think that no-one really cares! So long as they don't have to do anything...

I am the first to admit I have anger control issues. I hate my anger. I have read and thought about it for a long time. One release I have is the gym or exercise. That helps greatly. Also, focussing on something positive intensely also helps.

I am happy (to a point) to self-censor my comments about day-to-day life here, but I also need to let things out. I don't have a journal, and this blog is my outlet. I need to get the bad blood out into the air to really release things. If they offend someone, sorry. I'll delete the post after some time, when I've read it once I've cooled down and see how purile it is...

I also don't want to shy away from discussing difficult or sensitive topics - I firmly believe that's healthy. It leads to self-analysis and that's what I do often. I've had to eat humble pie so often lately, I've really taken a beating... But in the end, like I was and have been advised to do so often, I'll grow up.

Love and peace

Our new business

We've just started a new business, divineMums, which is our clothing company which designs breastfeeding tops! We have 7 designs, of which 3 are already on the way.
Since having 2 kids, and Dee breastfeeding both, we noticed a major lack of clothing which makes breastfeeding easy and discreet. So we decided a while ago to make our own stuff!
Most mothers will tell you how hard it is to find tops which allow you to feed without flopping out the whole breast for the world to see... so we've solved that one!

If anyone wants to have a gander, go to www.divinemums.com and you'll see the designs and colours. If you want to order any, just order online through our website.

Take the time to have a look, especially if you're a mum considering breastfeeding - it IS THE MOST natural way to nourish your baby - don't believe all the advertising gimmicks for baby formula out there! Nature has had it sorted out for eons; what makes you think some chemistry nerd can do any better??????

hehehe!

and in the news...

News from home...

The Maori Queen, Dame Te Atairangikaahu, died on Monday after a short illness. She was 80 years old - I think. She was on the Maori throne for over 40 years. Her Tangi (funeral) will be held at the Turangawaewae Marae in Ngarawhahia on Saturday.

Bloke hooks 317kg Tuna off coast near Hokitika. This will get the illegal fishermen running for NZ faster than a boat full of naked blondes yelling "god I'm drunk"... The fishermans comments were as follows: "I walked around for a while like a stunned mullet, then I had a beer. I was knackered...".

Asian students in NZ turning to hard drugs.
Apparently the police in NZ are doing such a good job of stopping asian student extortion, they've given up on that idea saying it's 'no longer profitable'... These overseas students, almost entirely from either China or Malaysia, are so bored with the lack of shopping and internet cafe's, they've turned to kidnapping and extortion of other asian students to keep their minds busy.
The Asian community in NZ has to be taught that it is 'OK' to go to the police if they are the victims of crime, because the police will do their job.
WHAT ON EARTH ARE THE POLICE IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES DOING THEN? I live in Malaysia, and I have an idea. They are often guilty of 'doing what's easy, not what's right'.



Nice wee rant!
