on house chores

14th September 2009 (Monday)

a conversation striked up between hui mynn and i. we were saying how we had kakak's back home to help us with dishes, cleaning up our room, washing the toilet, doing our laundry etc etc. life back home was nothing but comfort. now that we're 6 hours away from home, we're no longer in our comfort zone. we depend on public transports and our trusty legs instead of cars. walking for 30 minutes from one destination to another is now bearable. we do our own laundry, hang and fold our own clothes. we cook to save for trips during the holidays. i've got a toilet to scrub. i have to sweep, mop and vacuum the floor. i dont get to leave the dishes in the sink, i dont get to walk away after cooking, i dont get to ask my kakak to cook something for me when im lazy and longing for food. how i miss being back home. how i miss being pampered. how i miss not having to care about laundry and cleanliness in the house. how i miss to just come home to a home filled with homecooked food. i start to appreciate my mom and kakak a whole lot more. my cooking skills are not improving. no matter what, it was good to leave the comfort zone. because im becoming an aunty, just like my mom. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. omg this is growing up.
