Hard Woman = "Wanita Keras"

I want to be a "wanita keras", to be able to have a stand on my own and never back down to the laments of honeyed promises. To be a girl who is able to remember that it was from a woman that a man comes from, being raised from young with love, to hold the hand during the growing up years and to care till the body is wasted away in time.

I read somewhere in the Straits Times, about how women can never be the bosses or the presidents or the chairpeople of their working place. Let me quote the article *ehem*, Despite being sensitive, emotionally flexible, dedicated and tolerant of others' shortcomings, when it comes to the drawing board, elite women tends to be given the passenger seat still although at a parallel abilities to that of a man of her equal. Well, what Makcik Bedah can say is that, it is part of nature of that a woman has to take a seat back to care and be the "fragile" one. Imagine, if a woman is domineering, writing out rules and jurisdictions of what are permissible and what are not, to be trained into combat and fight with that rush for blood. That's why we ladies don't go into National Service, we have our own rush of blood during that time of the month. *Sigh*

I want to be a "wanita keras". Someone that anyone can rely on, the pillar that doesn't waiver under pressure and still believes that she is a "Mighty Joyah", able to fight the enemies eye-to-eye. I hated being weak, I wish it was an allergy that I have so that when I have it, I can see the symptoms easily and get them treated. Nah, I always seem to be the addict of that stupid four-word. Read it somewhere, women are always taking things too seriously, can't allow her to be in her thoughts or she will start planning what is the next thing to save on this earth.

Then Makcik Bedah will pester her husband to get it for her. *grins*
