Aka housewife lol.

Since my mom is away for a good 6 weeks, I have to take care of some extra chores at home. Mainly, cooking meals and doing the laundry. It’s been a week since mom left with the siblings to Melbourne, and so far so good! Made a deal with dad to do our own laundry, cause it’s just easier that way for both of us I plan to wear dark colours only so that I don’t have to handwash the light colours haha XD I don’t have that many light colours anyway, I think. So shouldn’t be a problem. Now I have to plan when to wear my few pairs of jeans so that I can wash all of them in one load

I don’t know why but somehow dad thinks that I don’t know how to cook, and kept fussing around the kitchen when I was preparing to cook the first meal for him. Hello, it’s just fried rice, how hard can that be? Not at all, it turned out well hehe. Other than that, I’ve also cooked pork porridge (not enough salt, but it’s alright), fried black pomphret (success!), veges (no big deal hehe), and ABC soup (easy peasy). The menu for this week… Black pomphret and veges again (got a whole lot of the fish in the freezer), fried rice again lol, and lotus root soup. And… whatever that dad decides to buy at the market lol. I’ll figure it out

It’s quite tiring to rush home after work to cook dinner. I know I have to option of ‘da bao’ or ‘bungkus’, but I actually enjoy cooking! So, can’t complain much haha. Laundry is also quite tiring after a long day, I get backaches. Yes, I DO have a washing machine at home. But certain items have to be handwashed, so bending down like that aches my back.

Who says homemaking is easy? Who says being a housewife is stress-free? I say bullshit, cause it’s definitely not easy, and definitely not stress-free. It’s the same as any other job in the world! You practise your skills, you plan and execute according to time management, you run errands… You do everything to make the house into a home and to please the family, yet there’s no actual income, leaves, or any benefits. But then again, you might just have the world’s greatest boss ever: The Hubby! And the best clients that you love the most: The kiddies! There’s also the same sense of achievement knowing that you’ve done so much when the only colleague you have is: You! Haha!

Frankly, I don’t mind it one bit ^3^ hehe…

Ps, this can actually prove to Mommy that I CAN do things around the house responsibly
