In Support of Breastfeeding moms.

 I am in total support of breastfeeding. 

Some people are offended when they see mothers breastfeeding in public. These people think breastfeeding in public is as offensive as being naked in public.

Here I would like to gently remind humankind that we mothers who breastfeed want the best for our children and we do not follow a fixed schedule for feeding as breastfeeding is normally fed on demand. In fact if we do not feed when our babies demands it then we tend to get "leaky" for a lack of a better word and at times may develop painful complications like breast engorgement and such.

In Malaysia, it is good that the Ministry of Health is all for breastfeeding and all those who have their babies in government hospitals, are strongly encouraged to breastfeed. I am glad of the post-delivery support the hospital provides. For me a new mom clueless about breastfeeding, they helped me alot.


I encountered problems when I was out in public and needed to breastfeed. No 1 major problem was there are limited areas where you can breastfeed your child in comfort. Try looking for a place to beastfeed when you are at a bus terminal, or market, or cinema, or even shopping complexes. Living in Seremban a growing town, the only place, 6 yrs ago that had a breastfeeding room was in Jusco, it was in the baby's area and it was a small one but at least they had one. Other public places that had breastfeeding areas were the hospitals or pediatrician clinics.


So there I was in a mall in town one day and I needed to feed my baby and the only place was A&W in Ocean Mall, so i took a seat in a fairly quiet area and got as comfortable as I could (you know those  chairs that were joined to the tables) and proceeded to breastfeed my baby. As I looked up, there far across from me was a family of 5, mom, dad and 3 kids and the "dad" was staring at me. I promptly stared right back at him until he lowered his eyes. His wife, when she saw me, gave me a snub and mumbled something (probably cursing me).


Their attitude was that I had no right to breast feed my baby in public. I do not understand why they feel the way they do when breastfeeding is the most natural thing in the world. There is nothing offensive about breast feeding your baby. our moms and grand moms and their moms probably breastfed too.

When is it that formula milk become the better food for our babies compared to breast milk? When is it that our babies suckling a plastic bottle with a rubber nipple became more natural than what our breasts and nipples were made for?

Breast milk is the best milk and there is nothing shameful with breastfeeding our children. So to quote a site that I am in support of :  

Vintage art

I saw today a friend of mine has almost the same interest as me in vintage art.
Which triggered me on a hunting spree for the vintage pin up art pictures.
I just love these pictures these are so elegantly done.
Some people may think these are rude or porn but to me it is art as it is elegant and classic.
It's just so pretty.

Fatal Crashes on the highways recently.

Reading about the fatal accidents on the highways in Malaysia recently, is making me more nervous about driving outstation.

In my job, I tend to travel alot. Driving a 13 yr old car, alone on the highway, always makes me extra cautious. I tend to drive around 80-90km per hour and never drive on the fast lane.

There were many times when my fellow road users make me so angry because they have totally no regard for the safety of those around them.
Big vehicles, like express buses, trailers, trucks, lorries big or small, will be zooming way past their speed limit of 80/90km/h. Many times they will drive as close to the back of my car and flash their lights to tell me to move out of their way. What I do not understand is why can't they over take my slower car instead of trying to force me to move away? I'm already driving in the slow lane, why can't they understand that if you want to overtake a slow vehicle use the right lane?

There was once a truck carrying oil, who practically forced me out of the far left lane and I had to drive off the road into the grassy area! There were no vehicles in the middle lane but he refused to overtake my car properly, he tailgated me for about  1 minute flashing his lights and then when I refused to move into the right lane, he over took my car and on purpose cut right in front of me half of the body of his truck almost slammed into my car and it was 2o'clock in the afternoon!

Why is it there are people who are so selfish when driving? Seriously, These types of drives need to be put away before the murder innocent people.


Why can't large vehicles be implemented with a devise that controls the speed limit?
I think this is the only way if we cannot control these drivers and we want to do something about our own safely on the roads, then PLEASE DO something!
