Finally, I'm able to post a little something on my blog after what seemed like years beyond count. Anyways, I've been really busy this CNY cause my whole Mum's side of the family came down to my little home all the way in Tampin ( Alas,my dreams of sleeping all day long turning to dust ). So, being the eldest boy takes its toll on me (50 sen cik..) by forcing me helm the workforce. After scrubbing the porch, painting the swing,raking the leaves, pinting the bathroo, and cleaning the drain (again!), I decided to take a breather. Then I saw Mum toiling away in the kitchen. Its funny how certain things stick in your mind, even after you read about them a long, long time ago. Jun's post on the pains of'being a housewife' has lingered in my mind for quite a while now. And ithe memory of it really melted my heart to see my 45 year old Mum sweating it out alone in the kitchen (Jun you are starting to affect my life in crazy ways). With an 'Naveen you're either getting soft, or going crazy' chant in my head, I offered myself to work in the kitchen, ignoring so called 'Man's work' that was still needed to be done. As I peeled potatoes and garlic, and onions, cooked bihun (tossing it really requires a great effort) I started to really appriciate the ladies side of the job, and it really made me determined that when I start my own family, I won't let my wife do all this work by herself, but instead to help out (even in the kitchen ) in any way possible (thats reminds me, I really got to brush up on my cooking again since its already so rusty). Moral of the story is : guys, please don't underestimate the work ladies do, because they really work their butts off in the kitchen to fill our stomachs. So to all housewives out there, a big Salute to all You guys, people who sacrifice so much for us. Thank You and *muacks*....
