How do you spend your weekend? Is it peppered with shopping malls or do you do volunteer work (hah,my readers??) ? Maybe you run away to dive like senhon or spend time with the baby like mag. Or dreamily go thorugh the weekend being half sober like what I used to do?
What does your weekend say about you, really? It’s the only two days that most of us gets any reprive from the cat eat cat world of corporate slavery. Mine had changed dramatically over the past year or two. From weekends of being half-conscious smelling perpetually of whiskey with coffee sessions and dinner with the folks to my current state of domestic goddess wannabe, I am creeping myself out. For a short while last year, weekends were filled with shopping and more window shopping, which had winded down this year to be replaced by domestic good work.
dreybee: what you doing this weekend?
me: i am damn excited! should I cook pho or make curry puff or be really naughty and do both?
dreybee: mmm..pho! simple!
me: so what are you doing this weekend then
dreybee: mm..dont know.
So yeah. There it is. The story of my pathetic life.The most exciting thing that I can look forward to is cooking over the weekend.Do I miss my half-conscious weekends. I do. The smell of whiskey still brings me back.But I do like my bizzare state of domesticity. I love it when the stuff I planted grows and my nasi lemak turns out pleasantly edible. I can happily sit at home and fold origami on a sat night whereas I could never had stayed home on weekend nights – even after pulling a 12-hour at work.The only time I am not out at the clubs or bars or parties is when I am off on holiday somewhere under a coconut tree. I can now happily spend all day cooking.AT HOME. I suck
.Even my mother is more happening than me with her gatherings and breakfast parties. I think she don’t even recognize me anymore. Most people cannot even start to believe that I had turned to such a domestic sucker goddess.
More excitement this weekend..I am building my own chest of drawers! WOohOo! With electric screwdriver and hammer and all…ableit the hammer was used to hammer down my earrings:).I can unpack after long last.Don’t you wish your life was as exciting as mine?
Btw ; should I make pho or should I make curry puff?

After this CNY, poker night during the week (possibly the weekend) is looking to be a more regular thing. YES, like the cliche of Desperate Househusbands you see on TV and in some movies with beer, beef jerky and the male version of gossip – no GFs or wives allowed. Boys’ night in. LOL!

Comment by natnatviv 03.03.07 @ 9:39 amcat: it’s sorta the same filling(mostly potatoes tho), but in deepfried puffpastry.
senhon: Erm.You need a working wife before turning itno a househusband! But anyway, I made both, so just wait and see. Shockingly simple,which is good.I now have a mountain of curry fatty puffs at home
natnatniv:I think i’m overdoing the kitchen thing – but I honestly cannot stop! It’s getting ridicullious.And because every week I try out new recipies, I don’t dare invite people over just in case it turns out to be shite.
