All in a day's blog

When I stared at the blogger login page just minutes ago, searching my head for my password, I finally realised it's been that long since my last entry.

I wished I have some interesting reason to explain my lack of action in my blog, like I've been braving my life combing the dense forests of Singapore island for that famous runaway terrorist called Mas Selamat. Or I've been suntanning my ass dark in the beautiful beach of Boracay (where I'm planning my next trip) or perhaps even more interestingly, gone under the knife to enlarge my breasts size to a 36E.

But alas, the plain truth is, I've been doing nothing interesting except burying myself in work (which I've quite frustratingly had quite enough of) and catching up on my sleep (which I've never had enough of)!

Just the other day, Mike asked me, "Ling, perhaps one of us should just quit our job and stay at home to be a houseperson."

I'd expected myself to wave my two hands wildly in desperation and exclaim, "ME ME ME! I'd lurve to be that person who stays home and be a housewife!"

Sadly, I didn't.

Instead my reply to him was, "And just rot at home, cut out from the outside world?"

I could have been labelled as the dumbest woman alive, for letting such a golden opportunity go by.

But in all honesty, I felt no regret having said that.

While I enjoy being the occassional housewife and take pride in taking care of my husband's and 'daughter's' needs, keeping the house spick and span, growing our little home, I see no absolute desire to make it full-time.

Quite the opposite, I gathered I would miss the power meetings, the politics, the rat race, staff management, the I-will-die-if-I-cannot-complete-this-presentation pressure, and there's something in the teamwork.

Well, that's what I feel for now. And this mindset is prolly gonna change as my priorities in life change.

Till then, I'm quite satisfied with the occasional (make that many) trips we take away from work. And come back ready to take on the next challenge.

On that note, I'll also make it a point to keep my life's blog alive. Afterall, I started this blog as a diary to capture my days with my loved ones.
