On my text that I will look small and sorely out of place wearing bright yellow builder's boots and a less-than-flattering crash-helmet in a testosterone-dominated construction site:
"Don't worry about yourself being small 'cos small people have big brains and they are smart. I remember Aunty ___'s daughter who was the only lady in her class of 100 men and they sayang (love) her as the only unique lady who took electronic engineering. In fact, she outsmart all the men and she was top student. So this is a good inspiration for you. :) love from: mom."
I really question this crazy and totally unreliable theory of small people and big brains considering my intellectual capacity has been deteriorating sharply with the amount of bimbo things I have said and done of late, but otherwise this is an advice that I will keep in mind for life.
i love my feminist mama!
