Took wifey out for a nice dinner last night to celebrate our one-month anniversary. Can ya believe it peeps? The gorilla's been married for one whole month already! Woah mamma

J and I both hate ironing too, but no choice ... someone's gotta do it! LOL! I do help out too lah, but we're seriously tempted to get one of those cleaning ladies to come in on weekends to clean the house, and do the laundry and ironing as well. Heh, that'll free up more time for us to, erm, focus on other spousal duties. Hahaha! And with our busy work schedules, we tend to eat out on weekdays or go to our 'rents place for dinner. J mostly cooks on weekends and on the ocassional weekday when she has the time/energy. Heh, the gorilla is not demanding when it comes to having home-cooked food lah, and I'm not a fussy eater either.
Heheh, wouldn't quite be a gorilla post otherwise right? ;)
You really epitomise the ADIDAS state of mind. Heh.
Yah a number of my friends get the cleaning ladies to do it too, but there's one cautionary tale from an ex colleague who said the cleaning lady botched all her branded expensive shirts washing them, and even tried to iron out a shirt that's meant to have creases :P
I thought all you needed were bananas? :P That and sex, apparently! Haha!
Erm, what exactly is the ADIDAS state of mind? "Impossible is Nothing"? *blur*
Yah, I've heard horror stories about cleaning ladies too which is why we're still doing all the housework ourselves. If we do find one, it'll definitely have to be through referrals from friends ... someone tried and tested. It's not just branded clothes I'm worried about. It's also all the other stuff around the house.
Heheh, banana I can provide lah, but don't we all need a healthy dose of sex now and then? ;)
Heh, whoever coined the term "marital bliss" is telling a half truth at best! Marriage is damn hard work ... and along the way there are the ocassional bliss-ters (gorilla trademarked term *heh*) as well! But yeah, she's a real gem. Me lucky gorilla! :)
Btw, I see you've got yourself quite a catch too huh, and having mucho fun being in a relationship. ;)
Thank you. Thank you. Erm, I'm a reluctant member of the Household Chores Club though. Heh!
Are you kidding?! We bitch and fight over chores all the time! Hahaha! These are the ones that have been "officially" assigned hor ... but there are tonnes of others we're still waiting to see who blinks first! ;)
Dude, I dunno about you but I find ironing chabor clothea sibeh difficult leh, especially dresses! I've tried, but I can't seem to get the hang of it. Heh, maybe that's why J volunteered for ironing duty for fear of me destroying her beautiful dresses. Hahaha! Erm, I help out with all non-handwash laundry lah.
But I see her very poor thing sometimes lah, so I'll guai guai iron my own stuff, especially work shirts and pants. I mean, I've lived on my own for long enough and have always done my own ironing, so it's no big deal.
Vrudder, tell me about toilet duties man! One thing I've noticed is that gals tend to be very anal (yes, anal!) about bathrooms and toilets! Then again, they spend 5x as long in them as we do. Actually hor, who's the one who clogs the drains with long hair you tell me? *rolls eyes*
i thought you guys had been living together for some time during your months of travelling? Shouldn't have that much surprises to iron out rite?
i only stay over at my bf's place on weekends, he stays alone too, so at least i can be assured he can help out in the chores, and not rely on mummy. Currently, I only do the cooking, he voluntarily helps out with the dishes, he does the toilet, he laundries, he got the i-robot thingy for cleaning the house.
I guess i'll have to share the chores next time. :p Just wundering how much more surprises i should be expecting. :p
Trust me babe, living together versus sharing a home as a married couple can be quite different! When we were living together (especially overseas), division of chores were less "structured" and more ad hoc. It's not so now. As a married couple, we both feel we have a equal stake in our home and that chores are a shared responsibility. So it's no longer the gorilla's den, but truly Mr and Mrs B's home. I like that and I guess I'm lucky to have a wifey who proactively discusses chores division/assignment with me and does her share as well. :)
But having said that, things are not cast in concrete and we do help each other out, especially if one has a lousy day at work or is tired, etc. One thing we've learned though to avoid arguments is not to be anal about how things should be done and allow our spouse the flexibility and initiative to do the assigned chore his/her way. Actually, very few chores have a right or wrong way of doing them ... just personal preferences and habits.
Dude, married life is no stroll in the park I tell ya. It's really fun, but it's also hard work and takes patience and understanding living under the same roof. Anyway, J and I are still in the "honeymoon phase" lah, so maybe that's why it's been kinda heavenly so far. ;)
