A Living Catalyst

actually i dunno what to write..

haha, actually i dunno what to write... but felt that i should write sth... a little about what i did today.

woke up, ate shui kueh, then logged online and got my thesis mentor's reply. YEAH~~ thesis is 95% done, except for my grammer corrections. sorry that i am actually a chinese lang and lit student with imperfect language expression. BAHWAHAHAH...
then its a little tv and revelation that i should be helping out at home... and its vacuuming the floor and ironing a whoke tub of clothes which took me hours. not becos of my ironing skills but becos i go for creaseless clothes. yup, and till 3pm, i went to sort out my old cds and also some books collections.. actually i dun have many books at home now... haha.. most of them are still on the road back home in green boxes..
and its till now...
never thought much about helping out in housework though i know many of my frens have been doing them since young. thanks to my beloved and hardworking mum who is always there to wash and iron our clothes. always thought that houseworking will grow on us as we grow up but realised its no the case if we didnt do it consciously. becos we will never find the time to help up with increasing activities outside the house. it may seem real boring and uncool to stay home doing housework instead of hanging out with frens. if my mother had to stay at home dealing with my clothes and tidiness, then actually i dun deserve so much freedom outside. she needs her space to relax too, not jus becos she is our mother that she have to do all these... we really have to share the load with her..
a contrasting scene jus now, she was sitting down watching tv while i was ironing the clothes. a change of role from previous times. haha... well, its kinda fulfilling for me to see her resting. my mum is quite hyper active. haha

living alone 4 years in shanghai made me realised some things which staying at home wouldnt make me understand. my mummy is not for granted, sometimes i have to put myself in her shoes. she need the time to rest from all the housework too.
