so it's been more than a month since my last post. it's not for lack of ideas, i can tell you that. i've gone "i shd blog abt that!" so many times i've lost count. then life hits you at full speed and by the time you're done you'd be too tired to do anything else but vege or sleep.
which leaves me wondering how all those people can manage blogging on a daily basis. not that i'm complaining of cos (i'm a closet blog-reader that way), but i do wonder. they're definitely more wired that i am, is all i can say.
i took a few days off work during ramadhan to prepare for the festivities, but of cos the main reason was that i felt like it..hehhe. and so for the first time in my 6 years in the organisation i've utilised all of last year's leave entitlement, and even used up 1.5 days of leave for this year! gasp! which means that i wont be starting next year with 42 days of leave to my name! double gasp!
but it's not all bad actually. i do like being the housewife. you get to wake up late. and you get to do things like do the laundry and water the plants at a leisurely pace on sunny mornings instead of doing them at night or rushing them over the weekends. and you get to join the throng of taitais wif their domestic helpers in tow doing their grocery shopping at the supermarket, so much so that you begin to feel like a taitai yourself even though you'd prolly be mistaken as the helper. which is fine too cos theres nothing more reassuring than a frenly smile from a kindred spirit to get you through your mental tussle at the shelves - this coffee brand or that? the house barnd's olive oil or the slightly more expensive one?
and i finally get why those housewives you see on tv would always greet their husbands with open arms when they're back from work...after having my own company for most of the day i too was at the door welcoming spider back the moment i hear the roar of his bonny coming up the driveway..hehhe.
so anyways, its been many days already, but we do have many more days left of the month...
so here's wishing all of you selamat hari raya.....maaf zahir dan batin...
