despite the disaster i had to face early in the morning, i experienced a bout of unexplainable joy today.

which was brought about by the weekly *coughgroceriesshoppingcoughcough trip. the last time i was down for a long time, groceries shopping brought me from the dark inner edge of the pit to sunlight and bubbles and flowers and all things happy again.

fridays are the ultimate housewife days cos i do the laundry, ironing, cleaning on top of the groceries shopping. which was why i hated it when my mid-term exams were on fridays. they disrupted my weekly routine. housewives have to keep to their routines, you know, they just have too many things to do.

today, there was this sense of excitement when i was browsing the meats section. over the past two months, my favourite supermarket here has been bringing in minced meat - something that didn’t exist on their shelves before. so they started off with minced beef, minced pork and veal and to my dismay, there just wasn’t minced chicken or minced pork. then came minced chicken. but i’ve been wanting to cook some substitute of ban mian thingy, which tastes better with minced pork. so for weeks, i waited patiently for them to start selling minced pork.

and today, there it was, minced pork!

the little package of minced pork has put me in good humour again. i think i’ll say hi to the housemate later if i see her around. still, the label housewife doesn’t suit me very much, cos after all, i am not a wife. does that make me a….housemaid? damn!

did i mention the online tutorial thingy is asking us to comment some stuff related to web 2.0? how will a closet housewife like me know what is web 2.0 in the first place? fortunately, a modern houselady will always know how to google for answers.

oh great, the housemate is back and is messing up the kitchen. should i go and smile at her?

post-edit: to my absolute horror, question 2 of the tutorial requires me to know what twitter, ning and stikkit are before i can participate. at least i know one out of three - twitter.

the woes of having an internet geek as a lecturer.
