The Domestic Goddess

I used to be really lazy when it came to cleaning or anything related to it. I was just the cincai (aloof) kind of person and I'd get an earful from my mom and grandma. They say a lazy girl would end up getting a lousy husband... hmmm...

Well, that was when I was a teenager. Now, with a family of my own, I have changed a lot... not just waist wise but my perception of life. You tend to put your kids first before anything else. Having kids has definitely made me realize how much my mom sacrificed to bring us up.

She wasn't educated but she made sure everything was provided for us. She made kueh (cakes) to sell at church every Sunday, tailored clothes even made home-made liquor, more towards moonshine (hehehe) to help my dad put us all to school. Being a kid, I never really thought much of it.

Now, with 2 school going kids, I wake up early everyday while practically the whole neighborhood is still asleep, well, maybe their maids are up la. It was such a drag when my son attended Kindergarten several years ago and I really had to make an effort to make his breakfast, made sure he goes to school on time by leaving to school way before the jam starts and I haven't even put on my make-up. As time progresses, it became a routine and what used to be a drag became something I enjoy.

So for this tag, Household Chores I Hate, which I became the victim by both Shemah and Marzie, I really had to think hard (cos I actually enjoy doing my house chores!). I know, I must be weird... hehe.

I don't enjoy folding the clothes after they're washed and dried. If they can invent a washing machine, why not a folding machine??? Or do they have a folding machine already and no one told me about it! Next chore that is really a chore (pun intended) would be dusting. Dust is so fine, after you clean them, they'll be back in a matter of minutes so it's an annoying chore. Finally, re-washing dishes (already cleaned by others but still has grease on them).

Now for my victims... I'd like to hear your most hated household chores. I tag :-
