Typing the first sentence of my first blog... feels weird.. not sure what I can write.. or if I can write.
Nevertheless, since I've promised my friends back home to start on this, I'd better.
So guys.. this first entry is for you. Hope there are more to come..
*pause*.... need to warm up a bit as the CPU in my head has been on leave since 28 Feb 07.
Where shall I start? Let's begin with the phone call this morning. It feels good to be talking to my dear dear friends back home. Wish its December soon and I can go home and see them.
Well, they've been telling me I should buck up a bit and try to do some additional cleaning.. like the balcony for example.. Haha.. It makes me feel sort of guilty. I guess I have not yet accustomed to the term "housewife" being placed on me. It makes me cringe. Me, of all people, a housewife!!!
Which is why I still grumble when I have to do the washing up after cooking. As far as I know, the International Standard Rule for Cooking is, if you are the cook, you don't have to wash up. Diners are washers, unless you are a guest. But guess that doesn't apply where housewives are concerned. My JD states " cooking, washing, ironing, grocery shopping, finance and admin matters, wifely duties (you know what I mean) misc misc.."
Oops, it seems that I'm complaining. Don't get me wrong my dear hubby if you happened to read this. Not complaining. Just need to get used to my life now.
That day yoongie asked if I think I'm fortunate. I know I am. I always count my blessings and always am grateful for what has been given. Yet, I ponder, how long will this good fortune last? For those who believe in Buddhism, they say these are merits which I've reaped. But how do I know how much merits have I? Do I have enough to last a lifetime? Any monthly statements? I fear I'll use them up before I die. I fear the saying "Xian Tian Hou Ku". So I wonder if I can ask my god up there, are You splurging on me now? If You are, please don't.. Save them up for the later part of my life.. or if You can, please share them with the less fortunate, cos that will make me feel better...
