Few years ago when I first got married, I asked my friend who was a SAHM " What do you actually do at home?" And she replied me " I do nothing". And now, I wish to slap myself for asking that question.
*sigh*
For the past week, I have been getting msgs in my Facebook.
Are you a housewife?
Are you working?
I wanted to answer them. although i am not a housewife, but then doesn't mean that housewives are very "free". Right SAHMS?
Just because I posted picture of my sewings. Normally I'll sew on weekends. I do my own hobby on weekend also considered I am "very free" ?
Yesterday I posted picture of my kids. Normally I'll snap picture of my kids on weekends too. I take my kids picture on weekend also considered I'm "very free"?
Today I posted my cooking picture. Normally I cook almost everyday. (do i have a choice?)
Pork with marmite sauce + Lychee + Green CapsicumWait till they see my vege pics. REAL VEGE and not Farm Town vege. I bet they say I'm siu lai lai, shake leg at home.
When I told them I work at home, they say "Wah your work must be very free and easy". They don't know I sit here from 8.30 am till 8.30 pm. "Come come.. *pat chair* have a seat la" I wish to tell them.
No one will know the planning you need to do to make everything go in place. Just like yesterday after picking Jayden up from sch, I dropped by to the market that is half way closing to buy some vege, and drop by the pork shop to buy some pork and drive further down to buy a can of lychee. Then drove to the petrol station to do some banking and then to the post office to send something. Back home, chop chop, marinade, and eat lunch while looking at the screen. Then about 6 pm, went down Piling-Palang cooked the dishes and bathed and then only can spend some time to look at the tv and my kids.
And then hor.. some people will think that you're doing nothing in front of the pc/mac wan you know....... They thought all you do is play games. I gotto sit here and design, and when I'm out of idea I do my own things:
- Surf Websites to check out the designs
- Edit My Pictures- neh the one I took on weekends. Oh yeah I need to shoot my products too and crop it out.
- Go downstairs and cook something
- Walk over to give my kiddos a hug and kiss
They think designing is so damn easy wan. Sit there and *TING* the ideas come pouring in.
And the endless projects that comes in every damn day.... *sigh* and that tiny pay you get cos you sacrificed to work at home so you can monitor the maid and kids. And you wanna buy one damn phone also you gotto think 100X times cos your pay is so damn little but you cannot stop working wor. Gotto have some own savings right? Who knows what is going to happen in the future? (err for me only la....ok?)
*siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggggggghhhhh*
Who knows??? you tell me...who knows... and when you wanna go out jalan jalan you don't even have a nice baju to wear, all is old old clothes.(sampai i don't even know what baju to wear if i die???) You cannot even go shop while no one bising at the back asking you to "hurry up" " Why so long wan???? the kids cry edi la!!!"
Okay.... off side abit i know. hahahahhaah damn! Too damn frust edi.
So I think next time if people asked me "wah you so free wan ah.." maybe I should just say " yeah I am damn free wan. Whole day I sit here and shake leg :)" HeHeHe...eh eh they could be saying that I can juggle my work and own leisure very well also hor?
Anyway.. I can only thank god I'm hyperactive to keep up with everything. Otherwise, I'll go cuckoo edi.
p/s: And yes thank god got online shop now.
