Femme Fatale

The phrase is French for "deadly woman". A femme fatale tries to achieve her hidden purpose by using feminine wiles such as beauty, charm, and sexual allure. Typically, she is exceptionally well-endowed with these qualities. In some situations, she uses lying or coercion rather than charm. She may also be (or imply to be) a victim, caught in a situation from which she cannot escape.

Serve her right this femme fatale then..but i believe in the current world we are living in, feminine wiles is an enigma. What about those with masculine charm? You know, a man trap in a woman's body...those that makes every girl weak in their knees..wait let me rephrase that, makes every "femme" or whoever weak..

I feel life is short to be dramatic about and that, we should leave what we think is not important to be lingering and yakking about..in my deep thoughts on my way home last night..i was questioning myself what female category do i belong to?

The independent oreo cookie, the "i still have mum to feed me", or the traditional,or more malayanized bunch of females..in simpler vocabulary for those who don't get it..Minah nyah...

I feel i'm a bit of everything, cause firstly, i do want to be abreast with the current world expectation of humanization,and that i still have my parents around to care,judge,nag,love and e.t.c..

On some days when every other girl i know wears shorts and t-shirt to bed, i still prefer the butterfly gown my mum bought me and the batik sarong that never fails to challenge me in knotting it..

A friend thought i was a minah,times when apparently i was talking and sitting beside one..When there's minahs around you, you got to try hard to talk like them cause if not, they'll be like judging you and saying things like "rambut hitam,kulit gelap nak step ong putih pulak...menyampah aku siol..takleh angkat"...Like they say, if you're a good social person, you'll try and be in their shoes (even though sometimes it doesn't fit)..

well people,i think the minah phenomenon needs to have a revolution, why not be a minah with a solid background, a minah that seeks knowledge, a minah that never fail to give up on life even though you're bless with 3 unwanted pregnancy? (for goodness sake, use protections)..a minah that has goals in life and not to live day by day as it is? Why not make minah a positive word rather than a comeback strings of negative perceptions...Cause until all minahs out there change, i rather associate myself with the kuno Malays...
