Getting man-nual
Guess what? I spent a whole good afternoon today fixing a new bookcase I have bought(which I'm so proud of it due to the low price I got it for but had to compromise with some perspiration), cleaning my room's air-conditioner, mopping the floor, cleaning my room, washing my clothes, unclogging the sink, throwing the rubbish... In fact, my sis saw me fixing my bookcase and popped a remark, "Wah Chao, so technical today ah? Not bad ah."
Yeah man, I felt a deep sense of accomplishment indeed. And I realise good things don't necessarily cost a hole in your wallet. They can come in cheap, if you don't mind paying the rest with your hands, hammering and knocking and twisting and turning. And hey, you get a free workout too! Heh. But I guess I kinda like DIY, not in the sense of making friendship bracelets, embroidering your pencil case and such if that was what came into your mind. What I mean is fixing and creating stuff, building stuff. It leaves you a deep sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Though the bookcase I bought was plain, it was spiced up by every effort I put in. And it's now standing proud in a corner of my room, displaying the wonderful array of CDs I have placed and other more books in time to populate the shelves. Woohoo!
So anyway, I was complaining to dearie that my sisters were not doing much to contribute to the tidiness of the house, and she was like saying at least I know how to do such things, then my future wife would be better off. Heh heh. I feel comforted at the thought. As far as I could, I guess I would help out with the household chores, to assume the post of househusband at times. Haha. However, I still retain the traditional point of view that men should be the breadwinners of the family.
Speaking of that, I'm going to my second round of interview tomorrow at the job I'm currently applying for. Second round of interview! Wah, and it's with the managing director. I have to prepare a list of questions to ask and be graded based on that. And I heard the interview would last for 3 hours or so!! I don't know, I do hope it's a good decent company to start with. Oh well, wish me luck.

So u did some spring-cleaning today. Thats cool!! At some pt of time after ORD, one will find the need and time to just clean his sty up.
Ya building things are always fun and worthwhile.. They usually come cheaper too since its DIY. I really gotta find out where to get such stuff as well. Actually breadwinners can be the man and/or woman, but ya I also believe that the man MUST work. The woman can choose. Housework is diff though, I believe that BOTH must contribute.
Yup all the best to u!! Hope u get yr aspiration..
