This weekend the whole family was busy with housework. MIL sent away the maid last Wed as she couldn't stand her poor attitude. One weekend of housework for me is pretty tiring, though it's only simple chores like ironing the clothes, washing dishes and washing my own lingerie. Hubby was of great help to the family as he did all the cleaning and scrubbing of front porch. With Summer doing her business now and then at the porch, keeping the porch clean could prove difficult. I only lament my sis-in-law's lack of initiative. She woke up late, at noon on sat when most of the chores were done by PILs, WW and I. And she got to be told to help in washing the dishes after lunch. Sunday morning she woke up earlier, but spent time talking on the phone instead. That's the result of PILs spoiling her, and treating her like a young kid tho she's 20 this year.
Well, enuff lamenting. Like I told WW, everyone has his right and freedom to choose the things he wants to do. And it's only in a traditional mindset that you expect the whole family to help out with the housework. If one can tolerate the dirt and mess, so be it as long as your dirt is not imposed on others.
On the whole, the weekend is good. We did the usual stuff like swimming and having lunch with 黄妈妈爸爸. WW and I went to guan yin temple as well on sat to pray for good health and that everything go smoothly. Tian and I met up with Feng gang, excluding Feng as she's down with flu, for tea at Wild Honey, Mandarin Gallery. XH and Dennis are now preparing for their wedding and just had their photoshoot in NZ. How blissful! It's a beautiful stage of life to be in.
WW and I ended the weekend with fried hokkein Mee dinner at AMK. Haha, am I fortunate to be able to eat guiltlessly and not care about getting fat. Tonight we don't have dinner at home and have to eat out again. Wonder if this will last the whole month before the next maid comes. Eating out everyday is not very healthy for the little one leh.
