National Women Day - Inspirational women

It was Malaysia's National Women Day on the 25th of August.
It is a day to remember the important women in your life or in the country, and also to be inspired by them.
It is also to celebrate for women; and for what we have done =)

I would like to highlight four women whom I admire and look up to here in Malaysia; four women who deserved the compliments and to be called role models for all the young and aspiring women out there.

They are personally my inspirations, being these powerful and confident women who represent Malaysia.

Who other than someone my age; Datuk Nicol David

Need I say more, she's made it to the international records for squash and consistently on top.
At the same time, I am impressed that with that much traveling and tournaments/trainings, she could still do well academically! =)

Tun Dr Siti Hasmah

Our First Lady for the longest time, she did not only depend on her husband to make a reputation for herself.
She was a doctor herself, and she had made significant contributions to the society, and up close, she was just an amazing warm-hearted person.
Academically, she is also the chancellor for the country's advanced Multimedia University.

Of course, and also her daughter, Marina Mahathir

She's really witty, and I loved her articles and thoughts; her courageous attempts at addressing social issues and how she distinguished herself, establishing her whole own identity with her given skills.

Finally, Datuk Michelle Yeoh

Our very own Bond girl, who has worked hard and made it to Hollywood and international fame.
Way to go!

Cheers to all the women in the world, may we all be inspired to be as strong and powerful as them, if not better.

Happy National Women's Day, and continue to cherish womanhood like everyday is Women's Day! ~~
