how married life really is like
been getting the same question from close frens: how's married life?
and i always answered: quite abt the same. cos i used to stay over at hubby's place before we ROM-ed & living habits weren't too different. or so i thot.
married life can be tiring. i used to tell an old bf tt i wun wanna settle down yet, cos i dunwan to cook, wash, iron clothes, mop the floor etc. but i ended up signing on the dotted lines & scaring the shit outta pp who knew me. "pleasant surprise" they call it. ya ya.
after staying on our own for one and a half months now, i am starting to realise how my life has become. the laundry cannot never be finished, everything's always dusty & messy, and... the guy's always slouching on the sofa watching TV.
luckily, i'm starting to master the skills of ironing those big office shirts under 15 mins. one way to cheat is to get more short sleeved shirts for ah lau. tt's not a bad move, cos he gets new clothes & doesn't perspire as much since the walking distance is now triple tt of his parents' home. and i can skip ironing those casual wear by throwing them into the dryer cos the anti-crease function really works! i know it's extravagant to use the dryer since we're living in singapore & the sun can be scorching hot at times... but i tried hanging the clothes out twice & on those 2 occasions, stupid me caused the clothes to get soaked in the rain. so tt's it!
and abt cooking... okie fine i'm not an experienced cook. i can't cook steamed fish, stir up yummy dishes but at least i can do pretty tasty fried rice which my darlin loves. and side dishes are all those tt can be thrown into the stylux deep fryer. easy as a breeze! keke. wat's more challenging is estimating the amt of water for the rice cooker. shld've stuck to conventional rice cookers rather than microcomputers huh.
there are lots more for me to learn. and though it may be tiring & time consuming to keep our home in place, i thoroughly enjoy it! the degree of satisfaction is unbelievable & the freedom, privacy... is just darn cool.
