Ever since i had shifted house, i became more and more busy with my life and this had made me more occupied and happier.
When i got my house key, i am busy with my new house renovation and almost all of them are diy by me and hubby:) I had even became a painting expert by helping my hubby paint the whole house. Three bedrooms and 1 living room:).
Now, looking back and seeing the whole house covered with paints ect. These are the result of our hardwork of labour and sweat. We had diy the kitchen cabinet, sink, one table hanged on the wall, dining table and chair, tv console, walk-in-wardrobe, our platform bed and a feature wall to cover up the ugly bomb shelter.
We had refused to spend the money for renovation as we are thinking of selling off the house and moving to a smaller house 5 years later. Now, i am glad that we did save all our hard-earned money from spending them on those renovation contractors.
Firstly, now the market is so bad and we can't withdraw our money from our investment, if not we will lose a huge amount.
Secondly, we are hardly at home. Weekdays whole day off to work, back at home 7.30pm. Saturday half of the day spent doing household chores, 5pm off to the temple, 11pm back at home sleep. Sunday, Morning 8am off to the temple again, need to go back to mother-in-law's house, my mother's house. Back at home at night again.
So, now my life is more routine and occupied. Weekdays work, Saturday household chores and temple, Sunday morning temple, afternoon and evening still had to go back to my mother and parent-in-laws' house.
Poor hubby and me, hardly had time for ourselves. Our life is occupied with entertaining and playing different roles and characters. For me, subordinate to my bosses in my office, dutiful, loving and caring wife to my hubby at home, had some quiet time with Buddha and Bodhisattva, for weekend, became a maid liao, keeping the house clean and tidy, washing clothes ect. In the temple, play the role of Buddha disciple by chanting to him, being a student by listening to dharmma talk, daugther to my mom and still had to go back and play the role of a good daughther-in-law to my mother-in-law. Haiz why life had to be so difficult and full of responsiblities?
Tired and occupied. Runaway time to a quiet and relaxing place with my beloved hubby. 11Days of holiday to Thailand:) Giving ourselves a break from our hetic lifestyle. No more work, no more responsibilites, no more cooking, no more house hold chores, no more parents, families, hee hee
Spending quiet quality time together with hubby in our own world, no more playing different roles:) juz eat, sleep, play and concentrate on shopping and spending our hard-earned money Wohoo, Thailand here we are coming. But we will not forget about Buddha and Bodhisattva, we will forever worship you. Will spend some time in this holiday reflecting on the dharmma.
