Fabulous surprise and something on V neck

I received a fabulous surprise last month. 


Then another one in September ;)

Its a new service which sells like hot cake in town, whereby ladies (maybe man too) pays RM35 per month and receive a box of surprise right at your doorsteps every month. The surprise is consisting of 5-6 latest skin care/ cosmetics products in sample size, but sometimes you get 1-2 full size too, like the Elizabeth Arden's ampules I received this month!   

So if you like to try out new skin care/ cosmetic products before purchase, then this is the perfect deal for you, but if you are those who use same type of shampoo since 20 years ago till now, then don't bother to subscribe this, because you'll end up with too many sample item in your makeup case.  

Anyway, moving to the next topic. Something about stereotyping and men in V neck. Notice how the fabulous surprise box is in stunning pink color, even the ribbons and paper fillers are in pink! By just one look at the box, I think most of the people will think that- this is definitely for ladies, even before checking what's inside. But if you think about it, so what, its just a color! The color has no gender. However, most people like to associate certain colors, design, character, clothing (and the list goes on) to specific gender. Sling bag- lady, gossipy- lady, football- man, muscular- men etc. 

Now, Malaysian has its own guideline on gender specific clothing, V neck- gay. Ok, let me not just picking on single point, here's the entire story. On Sept 13, at a parental seminar in Penang, Yayasan Guru Malaysia Bhd and Putrajaya Consultative Council of Parents and Teachers As­­­sociations distributed guidelines to help pa­­rents and teachers spot lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) tendencies. Quoting from the star online, below are some of the controversial guideline:

1. If you’re muscular, like v-neck or sleeveless tight and light-coloured shirt, like big handbags, you’re gay;

2. If you like to sleep, eat and hang out with women and you’ve no affection for men, you’re a lesbian. 

LOL. The first one is funny, the guideline had just gay-fied all my guy friend in the church, because I saw all of them wore light colored shirt (a.k.a pink) before and some even in V neck. But wait, the second point is HILARIOUS. To my dearest kupo friend, probably you girls are all lesbian, because you all are hanging out with the same gender way too much. 

As what Malaysian Insider said, it's breathtakingly stupid, and you would have thought that only universe is infinite, apparently human stupidity too.
