Life as a housewife

This post is in response to "To be a busy working man"... by a fren

5-6 Years ago...

We were young, we were poor, but yet happy... 1 stolen doughnut 1 candle.. yet so happy..
(pls kindly notice menaka at the back.. cos she complain we tried to get rid of her by making the photo black and white)

5 years later...

We got 'richer' moved from a small banting to the city of London...

Yes, showered in expensive gifts..

Yes, luxurious dinner in fine restaurants..

Yes, however many Mitchelin stars..

Even dim sum had to be fine dining...

Birthday cake, birthday muffin, birthday cupcake..u name it, u got it.. but is it still the same happiness as we had 5 years ago?


Yes, she might be successful, loads of money to spend.. we could get what we wanted, but can money buy time? we spend less time with each other nowadays.. Being hundreds of miles away from each other, we can only meet up on special occasions.. birthdays, christmas... what else?

Life as a housewife:
Every morning she will be gone even before i woke up.. I waited and waited for her, praying that she would at least come back for lunch...

but no, she is not interested in the meals that i made anymore...

rather have business lunch with business partner.. (nola, she had work to do..)
Some days:

' back in 2 minutes, make bread'

My eyes were glittering with happiness when i saw the msg.. When she finally got back, 2 bites of bread, not 2 words spoken, off she go again... n left me to continue my waiting game...

I would do her laundry, fold it nicely, so that she dont have to worry after a whole day of work.. Clean the room and prepared dinner.. do her groceries, and even when i had to do part time, still i made sure that dinner is ready when she gets back...

She feels like eating banana cake, all she need to do is ask:

although cake became muffin in the end, but still banana!

Being a housewife is not easy.. so ladies, don't ever quit ur job..haha.. yes, all they need to do is give abit of TLC (tender loving care) but still not all men can and would.. thankfully she is not a man.. she gave me the little TLC i needed.. and the 2 weeks in london was GREAT...

But... at the end of the day, she still call me her 'locum chef'.. huhuhu.. joking.

Happy birthday...err..belated..
