my job title.


everyone always asks me what i'm up to.
so i kinda figure out my job title.
fulltime unemployed graduate architect and home maker.
yups. homemaker is a politically correct word to use.
sounds much better than housewife.
i'm always afraid of that word. that job title.
it makes me cringe even now.
i'm quite sure it was 'cos i was brought up in a all-girls school. all the girl power kinda thing.
maybe that is where my feminist side came from. heh.
but well i guess there's no denying that i am a full time homemaker (eeks) at the moment.
i don't know. i guess it seems like it's really tragic. there's so much to more to learn.
at the same time, i love the freedom to do anything.
paint, read and bum.
anyway,
i've found out my most hated job description of home making.
ironing.
i hate ironing. i don't do it very often. but i help when boon needs me to.
ironing 4-ply shirts just frustrates me.
i also realised, (guys, please note. esp those who don't have mums to iron their shirts for them)
raoul shirts are way harder to iron than zara. so get zara if you don't have someone to iron them for you. argh. the minor imperfections of the garment just drives me crazy. i'm not really a perfectionist, but when i'm ironing, those hard to iron creases just makes my blood boil. and argh! i take 15-20 mins to iron ONE shirt! man! and it's still not perfect. and it takes boon only like 5. i don't know how he does it every morning before he goes to work.
*
so i'll be shopping for tops that don't really need ironing for work.
i rather wash, clean, vacuum than to iron. argh. the pain. the torture.
so anyway, i'm off to sydney with boon tonight.
woohoo! shopping, visiting art galleries and markets.
and hanging out with a couple of friends there.
to the land of krispy kreme...
in the mean time you guys have fun in school and office. :)
