Iron lady or House-y wife?
Today (10/9) I went out with one of my best buddy. We were chatting nicely about lotsa stuff…One of the topics for the gals’ talks that made me thinking deeply was about the type of women we want to be..hmmmppp…..quite a tough question huh?? Do I wan to be a housewife and just sit at home, do all the house chores and be the woman behind my beloved man? Or do I want to a corporate lady, who climbs up the ladder, ignoring the ‘normal’ social norms of women must get married, have a baby or so and blah, blah, blah? What do I really want to become? I wasn’t young anymore…I have to wake up to tell myself my purpose of life…but where should I begin? How do I begin? I sort of lost my burning passion towards life ever since I lost my beloved bro..where can I search for those passion again? Where should I begin? I dun wanna lead a life like dat…neither do I wan to hang around with no aims in life..But, housewife or iron lady??? After much thoughts, I still haven’t finalise my decision…maybe I should get some help! But to whom shall I turn to? I went to ask my mum. Mummy said “…it’s up to you. If you can get a good husband, then it’ll be good to be the woman behind the successful man…” Good husband? How can I guarantee the guy I married to is the good husband? Ok, let’s put it aside.. then mum continues. “…but if you can secure yourself a great job is even better!…” hhmmmpp….good idea! But where do I go from here?? It makes me wonder…

Ask me ask me…I would like my wife to be someone who works but still able to take care of the children. Work so that she dun have to ask money from me. And also so that working woman are more intact with the outside world. I see my mummy. No work, so alwis ask from papa money. Sometimes also shy..like so san fu…some more…sometimes when we talk about things, she dun understand..cos she not aware of what happenign outside.. But work is work, the house is very important also. The children is most important. So musn’t work till affect bringing up the children and organizing the house.
