Of cooking and damn black hotdogs

That day my husband was cooking instant noodles and pan frying some hot dogs for dinner. I didn't want dinner as I was not feeling hungry.

Then came the nice smell of hot dogs frying on the pan. Somehow the smell became a bit like charred... So I went to the kitchen to see what happened. Before I reached the kitchen my husband went "Ling!! Come!!" And I appeared asking him whether the hot dogs were charred.

Turned out not only were the hot dogs over cooked, they now looked like some black discs on an oily frying pan ... erm "So you just put them on the pan and on the biggest flame?" and he said "yeah"

So we had to open all the windows and the main door as well as switch on the fans at the highest speed to let all the smoke out.

Of Ironing and Man

Dar have to wear shirts to work everyday. So that day, he said he wants to try ironing his own shirts. So I was like "Ok~ Thats even better for me"

After ironing 2 shirts, he came over, sweating all over and said ... "Ling can you help me iron? I can't stand it anymore."

And I was like

". . ."

Braun should start R&D on irons that man would love to use. Maybe ironing clothes with cool mist or something....

Marriage Life

hmm... haven been blogging here like half a mth .. had alot of pple asking me how is marriage life...

I can say like not much difference from the past? Lesser big quarrels and a little more small bickerings... Savings on hp bill and more convenience for mutual friends hahahaa

We see each other everyday .. we hear each other speaks.... we hear each other's tone of voice ... hence there are lesser misunderstandings ... which lead to lesser big quarrels which in our case... are usually mis-understandings...

more bickerings... on who to clean the house .. who to throw the rubbish.... oh~ the common things ... hahah like the both of us who are not required to do housework in our own house, housework is a big change ... but still by now the territorials are set....

clothes = his, since I am too too short to reach the hangers... hack I can't even reach to the bottom of the washing m/c

sweep/mop= mine, sometimes he do them

cook = me during weekends... its his on weekdays (o~maggee mee o~ maggi mee) since he reaches house like 1.5 hrs earlier than I do.

toilet washing = me of cos~!

rubbish = definitely his! (since I'm scared to death of seeing roaches if I open the rubbish chute)

-.-"

savings on hp bills and since we both are no lifers, most of our hp usage spent on each other .. after changing workplace, I'm now on MSN~! even more savings ...

and mutual friends of ours who think that notifying 1 is notifying both ... saves on hp bills or the hassle of typing MSN msg twice... *sweatz*

but of cos ... I know the "difference" is not only in these kind of mundane stuffs (all u commoners~!) the difference now lies in the responsibility that falls on both of us and the commitments towards our family for our every decision. For e.g in the past, buying clothes, playing games 24/7 seems to be alright-when we are still singles

however, after we get married, buying 1 more top = lesser money for bills/savings for kids
playing another hr of game = 1 hr lesser time for hugs=1hr more of electricity bills...

It is no longer the "I" but the "we" that we need to emphasize on ...

Of cos, going deeper still, we have got 1 more person whom we can trust our life and soul on ... one more person nearer to us whom we can rely on when in need, to share our love, happiness, troubles, doubts and hopes... and this is the person (besides parents/siblings) who will be by the side for the years to come ...
