Crazy Pot


I have a “friend". The kind who will have sudden outburst of tears at the dinner table in a restaurant if her portion is less than perfect from others. The kind who will throw a tantrum at anyone, literally anyone – you, me, her current lover, her ex-lover, a passerby, or even MY lover (Dear Hubby at that time) when she feels the need to. The kind who gets emotionally petty over something entirely small and is not afraid to show it in public. The kind who smiles and laughs hysterically with you one minute but swiftly gets extremely steamed up and mad if someone mention something that gets on her nerve. The kind who doesn't have a filter in her brain or mouth. A little drama queen, a whole lot of wacky. Let’s call her CrazyPot here.

So, this CrazyPot “friend”, we haven’t been keeping in touch for ages. We hung out, occasionally, in the past. One particular incident where I recalled her head inside a toilet bowl and half-carried half-dragged out by the bouncers. True story. 

But, not exactly the friend I would call and cry my heart out if I have a fight with Dear Hubby. Not exactly the one I would complain to about anything or anyone. Not exactly the one who will know about my next favourite item (itemSSS haha) to purchase in my wishlist. Not exactly anyone in my emergency list of people, or my top ten contact list. Not exactly the people in my life.

Anyway......... one rather peculiar thing happened recently.

She made “attempt” to reconnect with a bunch of us. Which is good. But the bizarre thing was that she ‘made the first move’ and announced her "attempt" over a shoutout. Yes, a Facebook post and the tagged ones were supposed to PM her back. -__-

Eager to reconcile and reconnect? A simple “Hey how have you been doing all these while?” is enough. I speak for all the girls she tagged, when I say, all of us would be happy, and definitely not feeling forced, to indulge and update on our personal lives.

Isn’t it a much more appropriate first move? And much sincere.
Why must I PM her when I don’t feel the "guilty and sad" desire to? 
Why can't she message or whatapp us?


EPIC FAIL.



Digressing.... (The weird part has yet to come.....)

Heck, I do not connect with most of my friends on a daily basis. Nobody does la. Even my diehard faithful friends, friends who I consider brother and sisters – I do not see them for months and at times stretch to one year mark. We meet at each other’s weddings. Haha. Really.

The mere fact is that we are there for each other when it matters. All the times. They helped me prepared my wedding vows - well not exactly vows, just the promises I made Dear Hubby made at the wedding lolololol. They flew to my wedding dinners and gave their blessings. Even when one was heavily pregnant at that time and still she flew and attended my dinner. Even when I had my afterparty at a cheap dodgy karaoke cum pub in Sibu, they made their appearances. The preggie and her husband even joined and got high on sugar (Coca cola). For me, they made the effort. All of them.


All while this CrazyPot did not.


We had three wedding dinners (yeah I know!) and she attended none. 
If we were that much of a “friend”. You get what I mean.

She made a flimsy lame excuse of missing her flights. Knowing her, if she had really missed a flight, she would have made a big-ass fuss over the media (namely Facebook and what else not) and called the first thing the next day (not a couple weeks after) and she would have cried and cried that she missed her flight. 

Because she is THAT dramatic. 

And common sense told me - missing the flight was just an excuse. Simply disappointed. 
However, Dear Hubby and I just kept quiet, politely played along. 
Honestly… don’t RSVP la! Nevermind that now. I don't bother to know.


But then...... I am a nice person. Decided to give her the benefit of the doubt. After all, keeping in touch is good. (Well.... after much considerations, to be honest). And I went and whatapp-ed her.

Retorted with “so happy all of you replied”.
Succumbed to her insincere ploy already. -__-

And came the breastfeeding talk. Which was okay. Many were curious. Everybody is always keen to know more about it and listen to the firsthand experience from their friends. It’s like helping them embrace the idea for their future journey when they are ready one day.


Then...... came the bizarre part.


She asked if Dear Hubby sucked my breast.


!!!!!!! Serious shit !!!!!!!!
WHAT!?!??? 


And when I answered (after I got over the shock and disbelief and reading and re-reading the message and composing myself on the other side of the phone) that he didn’t even dare to touch (I was trying the nonchalant approach, pretending like I wasn’t bothered by it), then she retaliated by saying she needed to work and bye.

Full stop. 
Nada.
So abrupt.

Just like that.

Huh??!!? WHAT!!??!
I was sooooo confused. Like... what the fuck just happened? *smacking my head

What?!?! Why so nonsensical asking if my husband sucks on my breast???
*slamming head
What a "guilty and sad" way to "catch up"....
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After ages of not talking, ALL she wanted to talk is about my breasts. -__-  
And who sucks it. -__- 
SERIOUSLY!
*banging head


I don’t understand. 
Why so strange wan???
Who would ask something like that out of the blue???
Who talks like that???
WTF!!!!!
Weirded out.
*hammering head


I don’t know to cry or laugh. FML.

Mainly...... These kinds of information are offered. Not asked or probed rudely. Especially when you haven’t been talking for awhile now. And especially especially when I never share my sexual experiences or private intimate details ever ever ever with her. How dare she.


The more I think about it, the more preposterous I feel. 



Why so odd! Why so psycho!!! 
*knocking head on the wall


Randomly stomping on my common sense, kns. 


I related this rather, quaint story to Dear Hubby. And he just gave me a blank stare. For a full second. Then a frown. Followed by, “She sampat ah? Siao cha bo!”

Hahahahhaha….. Hahahha…. 
Coming from someone who talks a few words and amimical, this is huge. 


I wonder if she asked the other girls (whose names she mentioned on the shout out too) if they recently blowjob their boyfriends or had anal sex or whatsoever. Then ‘ttyl’. 
Hahahhahahhaa…… Hahahah funny shit....

Freaking weirded out right now.


She never even asked about my Baby Maya. Or about Dear Hubby (he was the one who introduced her to me). Or about my work. Or anything else other than my breasts. 
Hahahahhahaha!
Really siao cha bo....


I’ll be fine. As I always do. 
Only maybe I will be left with some crazy dreams of actually breastfeeding Dear Hubby (thank you CrazyPot for putting that image into my mind). -__-


Sure sure, stay in touch. 
Just don’t touch me physically, particularly my breasts (given your unusually keen interest in them)

Hahahahha!
Oh Psycho CrazyPot.

Weekend Special Treat - Milk Spa!

Guess what are we twosome up to this weekend?

I gave Baby Maya a speeeeecial milk bath spa this morning!!! *luxurysilkysmoothskinpamperingbaby*

Breast milk, that's it!



I don't have alot of extra breast milk, unlike Le Dasao the cow. Haha! 
These are all the expiring-soon expressed milk which I kept frozen since early June. Don't waste! 

I used 5 bottles and diluted them with hot water. Make sure it is of lukewarm temperature before you bath your precious little one in this precious bath!!!


Preparing for Baby Maya's first milk spa!!




See? She is enjoying it very muchie!!! She kept opening her mouth to eat the cloth that I used to wipe her face.. because it smelt of milk!! So cute my darling~~~

But that didn't last long. Hahaha. After a while she got agitated because she is hungry for nen nen. Lololololol. Kept smelling the milk but none going into her. Hahaha so funny looking at her frustrated face! *cute cute cute*


Done with the special treat! Now my bathroom reeks of breast milk. Haha! She's screaming for her milk milk and nap time. :))

Next weekend can draw up another spa as another batch is expiring. :))))

Sex Education - Yes or No?

Attended a dermatology course last weekend and eyes went bleeding with images of ugly ulcerous angry genital lesions seen in STDs.

Well, I recalled a conversation with my more senior colleagues of generation X....They were quite shocked when I mentioned casually that I am going to teach my daughter about sex. 

Erm....
Why the hell NOT

I deem that sex is still a taboo to them.

Blame the media, again. Haha. From a young age, our children (not just them, my generation too) are exposed to sexual images and languages in their environment. Hearing teenagers nowadays so nonchalantly bragging about their sexual experience, just make me queasy and uncomfortable. They should be decorating the boardroom of English Club or organizing Pandu Puteri stuff or singing in a choir in the Music Club. Definitely not this kind of extracurricular activity!


But can we stop them? Maybe. Maybe not.
Can we control their every single move? Maybe. Maybe not.
Can we control their urges? Ehh... how ah?

Pretending that sex never existed helps? You really think so?


I think they should be educated from the moment they start to ask questions. 

I’m not asking you to SUDDENLY show a condom and banana to your ten-year-old inappropriately out of the blue.  -__- 

If and when he/she starts to inquire about sex la.... 


If not, do you think they won’t seek answers from our ever-available friend of Google or worse, try it out themselves? 

Otherwise… I guess I will have the talk, say at fourteen? 
Gosh… I hope not earlier or else, I would freak and have a heart attack!


Would you rather your baby girl receive flawed information from strangers in the other side of the world via the Internet forum or wrong misguided information form their peers "who have done it"?
Why not from credible and safe sources like you, the parent!


Right? Of course I am right!


Look at the statistic, so many unwanted pregnancies and most of them end up in orphanages. Teaching them to be safe can hopefully help them be safe. 


Well.... I, myself am going to sit Baby Maya (when she reaches appropriate age, of course) down and have THE TALK one day. 

Honestly.......

I have no idea how am I gonna lay my speech for THE TALK yet, and hopefully I have a good 13-14 years to prepare for that. Haha. I know I will learn how, eventually. Poh pi Poh pi not earlier than 13!!!


Personally I think that sex education is immensely important. To every child. 


Not just Baby Maya. But especially Baby Maya.
Why? Because she is mine la! Haha.


1. This can help prevent unwanted unplanned teenage pregnancy and being a female, she has more to lose than a male if she was to have out-of-wed-child.

2. Premarital pregnancy can potentially affects her future, her whatever dreams and aspirations. Let alone her chance of finding her true love one day. 

If being a mother holds a certain challenge even for me (and I have a supportive husband and stable financially), you can multiply by a millionth for a teenage mother, with no stable income (actually, no income at all), no certificate, no nothing. What if the teenage father decides to run away and hide? Or even if he does face the responsibility, they get married and then what? 
They obviously won’t know what they are getting themselves into.

3. What will happen to your baby's baby? Your baby would stop schooling? Start working? Stop then continue at older age?

Not that Dear Hubby and I won’t be helping them out! 
Just that the younger ones have to be enlightened about the consequences of their actions.

4. The risk of sexually-transmitted diseases (STD) and HIV. They should learn the importance of protecting themselves. Medical problem of such can greatly shatter her quality of life leading to emotional and mental instability. 


Aiyoh... So many things to worry about.


With their bodies experiencing and developing sexual responsiveness and raging hormones, their curiosity is inevitable. 


In my opinion, sex education helps to clarify - not to confuse or to encourage - the issues for them. 


Teach them about intimacy, the meaning of sex, sexual expression. 
Enlighten them about their gender identity, reproductive system, birth control and STDs. 
Tell them why it is important to WAIT.


Don't you agree?


Sex education – Are you in or out?
No pun intended. Haha.


Stay Safe!

My baby girl... Don't grow up so fast.. Mummy loves you!
