Child Abuse



Only a week ago the nation was surprised with the death of a 3 year-old, Syafia Humairah Sahari who was abused by her alleged step father on 26th February, and today another news of child abuse and death of 18 month-old toddler, Hareswarra is seen on the pages of newspapers across the country. 
News on Syafia's case:
Read Star Online : Feb 27, Feb 27, Feb 28.
Today's news on Hareswarra:
Read Star Online : Mar 5, Mar 5.

When I first read Syafia's case, I thought what a crazy man her alleged step father must be. And what sort of crazy chaotic family she must be unluckily born into. Her mom, who looked innocent with her head scarf (obviously she is a Malay and a Muslim) was actually cohabiting with this taxi driver when she was still married to another man who is now in prison. When I read the news about her, the first thing I thought was to never judge a book by its cover. Outside she may look like a good pleasant mother but wow, she certainly have weird skeletons in her closet. And to find out that she have another child out of wedlock age 18 months with the damn taxi driver cum child murderer is just unbelievable.


Note : It is in the Islamic Law that a woman legally married to a man is not allowed to be with any other man except her husband until she is legally divorced.


What has happened to the Muslim society in our country now? Just because the women wear head scarfs and baju kurung does not mean they are innocent you know. Wake up people, wake up! She can liken her murderer boyfriend as an angel even after he killed her daughter? Oh God, how can she live with herself? Such an embarrassment to the Muslims. And the taxi driver boyfriend, seriously, he said he did it because he's angry that the girl was stubborn well, what do you expect from a THREE year-old child? She was enjoying herself at the play-field. If you want her to follow you, say something nice maybe. Promise her sweets maybe. Not kick her around like a football and step on her head many times you devil! I hope he will be punished severely.


Then today when I opened the newspaper and read Hareswarra's case, I looked at his photo and thought what a cute little boy he was. How could the lorry attendant have the heart to kick or hit him until his liver is ruptured and broke six ribs? He is just 18 months old! He's not even TWO years old. A kid that tiny and you hit him worst than a punching bag. What I can't stand was the reason he gave for doing it. If you're jealous you have no kid and this couple have two and send their son to your wife to babysit, then have a talk with your own wife on what could be the problem with the two of you or go visit the doctor and check if your sperm is dead or go adopt or something. Why do you have to murder another couple's son out of jealousy? I think the cells in his brain must be dead. All that long journey sitting in the lorry and inhaling carbon monoxide must've gotten into him or something.


There are too many psychopaths these days. They look well on the outside but only God knows what's going on in their heads. Friends, families, neighbours should look out for any weird or uncommon traits in the people you know and take precaution so that things like this will not occur. Sometimes I feel scared of my own people in my own country. This is sad. Very sad indeed.

The CLEO Beauty Workshop Entry



Anybody bought the CLEO Magazine this month? No, it's not the CLEO Bachelor's time yet. Actually I want to talk about the CLEO Beauty Workshop that is presented by Neutrogena. Anybody ever been to CLEO Beauty Workshop before? This is my first time to try, after more than quarter of a century living and almost 10 years reading the magazine. LOL!


CLEO March 2010 issue

However, for those who have no idea what I am talking about, go grab CLEO Magazine March issue. The cover is, none other than, the pretty Miss Rihanna. There are TWO workshops available. First is the CLEO Beauty Workshop with Neutrogena for the first 50 who send in payment of only RM30 via check or money order and another one is Make-up with Lancôme Workshop for the first 60 who send in payment of RM150 via check or money order.

I went to the post office to make money order and luckily there weren't so many people. Usually the post office is packed but maybe it's only the 3rd of March today, not many bills to be paid off. Anyway, since this is my first time joining beauty workshops, I don't know what to expect so I think I better try the cheap one first. LOL! I asked a friend to join too, hopefully our money order will be one of the first 50 and we will be accepted to participate. I do want to learn better skin care regimen, especially since I'm always in a hurry every day. This seems like fun - right?

Did that haircut, Finally!



So it had been more than 6 months since my last haircut. Wait, I think it had been more than a year actually. Plus, I stopped doing hair treatments like 6 months before my last haircut. So, I can't really blame my hair when it becomes unruly and slightly frizzy, especially under the hot Malaysian weather. Oh my, anybody notices how damn hot it is these days? I can't stay out too long before I start sweating and feel sticky. And I hardly sweat!

Due to the weather, and something else as well, I decided to chop chop chop my long hair. It's not that I'm tired taking care of it. It's that I have not taken good care of it until I think the best way is to chop it and then care for it better now. I need to start doing treatments again. Use hair mask every week and put on serum every time after I wash my hair. And maybe steam my hair every fortnight too.

I calculated that each time I go to the salon, I will have to pay RM22 for wash, steam my hair (using my own hair mask) and then blow-dry. When I went to the mall in town, I saw that they sell the hair steamer at only RM250. The product is from Taiwan and the warranty is for three months. I think it is worth it at RM250, comparing to me steaming my hair at a salon and having to pay the same amount after a little over 10 times. I can certainly care for my hair better if I have hair steamer at my disposal rather than having to go to the salon every weekend which sometimes might be open and sometimes might not. Plus, doing things at the comfort of my home is much better.



Anyway, back to the story of me chopping my hair. I tried a new hair salon located at the center of town called Hairazone. I think if you live in Kajang you will know exactly where it is because you can't miss it when you pass through town. Every time when I go to McDonald's or to the market, I see many customers waiting for their turn and thought I'd like to try their services some day.

So there I was, getting a haircut from a Professional Hairstylist. They charged me RM35 (including wash) for a Jessica Alba style. B-bunz was not too keen on the idea because he likes my hair long but I haven't had a short haircut since 7 years ago. Plus it's not above the shoulder so it's not that short, in my opinion. My hairstylist is a guy but I totally love the way he cut my hair. Ahhh, so soft. No wonder he's a Professional. Thank you Ah Wan! When my B-bunz's hair grows longer in another month, he'll come to you for the "Mohawk" style, I'll make sure of that.


The way he touch my hair makes my hair feel so loved. LOL! When he start styling, I start talking to him and one topic leads to another and another until he finishes. I just don't understand though, why other patrons were giving me weird stares for talking to my hairstylist. I wasn't talking loudly and we were just talking about the shop's monthly rent and normal stuffs. Is it wrong to be friendly to your own hairstylist? One funny part was when Ah Wan said B-bunz reminded him of a VJ in Channel V. LOL! He also thought I was born in 1988 or 1989. LOL! I'm older than him actually...


So I love my new haircut but I know if I don't care for them they'll start to kink. So Ah Wan also teach me how to "teach" my hair to follow my "direction". He's brilliant. I want him the next time I get a haircut there. So, RM35 is definitely worth it!
