Desperate Housewives

Was never a fan of that show.
But I do applaud that refreshing idea..
Finally giving the housewives some credit.

BUT
I personally feel.. Desperate Housewives makes the real housewives out there.. more.. DL (I hate to use this word, but under the influence of the real housewives, this is a word I've gotta use)..
Note: if you do not know the meaning of DL, ask any regular housewife.

Anyhow, let me not digress.
As I was saying.. Desperate Housewives isn't really a tribute to the real long suffering housewives is it? Well, at least not in Singapore. A host of reasons explains:

First, let me define housewives: Married, full time maid homemaker

1. How is it ever possible for housewives to have that to-die-for figure? Unless I am mistaken, housewives in Singapore are battling with their husbands for some spare cash to head down to Marie France Bodyline, just so they can squeeze past tight spaces between 2 cars..
Husbands on the other hand, would rather reverse the cars and park them elsewhere. (read: big open spaces, big enough for baby killer whales to frolick)

2. How is it ever possible, to do all necessary household chores and still look.. good? Look at your mum.. I am not saying all housewives in Singapore looks like maid.. (ok some does) but not all.. But really, how does a housewife do all that mopping and cleaning.. and still look refreshed and happy? When my parents were away.. A simple mopping and vacuuming almost had me in tears.. And I live in HDB. Those TV housewives life in houses huge enough to draw envy.. Unless they are witches, as in the broom type of witches (like Hermione Granger).. else you can never clean a house that huge and still look that.. happy can.

3. How is it ever possible a Singaporean Men would volunteer to be a Mr Mum, and tend.. 2 hyperactive BOYS? I know I know.. there are such men in Singapore.. but they are like.. fairies.. We've never seen them, but we know they exists in folklore. Though I am a very traditional girl at heart.. and I do believe the place of a woman.. is at home behind the stove... and the men should be out bringing in the dough.. But really, how many career minded females in Singapore wish for the position to be reversed? Though I for one, does not yearn for that.. But I think its admirable for a man to give up his place (and pride) in society to full a position that is dominated by females. Then again, only in TV shows, would you see such rare occurences.

4. How is it possible for housewives to be soooo kinky and hot? I am not talking about Eva Longoria here.. though her affair with Mr Cutie-gardener is kinda off.. But I did remember catching one particular episode.. where another housewife wore a seemingly innocent thick black coat. The thing was, underneath the coat, she don an ultra nose-bleedingly hot lacy red bra and matching knickers under that thick coat.. She did all that.. for her husband..
Housewives in Singapore (most of them) are fighting the horizontal growth desperately.. so how is it still possible for housewives in Singapore to look so darn hot in a pair of red lacy undies? I mean.. think the aunties you encounter at your workplace. Can you imagine any of them in those red-hot undies? I shudder at that thought.. And I suggest you do not spend more than 5 minutes imagining.

See picture above.. And yes she looks absolutely hot in those red lace.

I reckon I should not go on.. I get more DL by the minute.
Not that I am a housewife..
I don't think I ever will.. The though just struck me. when I was getting a tad bit domesticated today..

We woke up at 12pm sharp to catch CSI triology.. (that is. CSI, CSI New York and CSI Miami)
Ok, its not called CSI triology.. But because there's 3 episodes every Sunday.. I like to think of it as CSI triology..
Mid way through the trilogy.. I went on to cook lunch.
It wasn't even a grand affair.. just a simple Maggie mee plus Campbell soup lunch .. BUt already... I felt soo.. auntie.
I did all that, in my messy hair, oily face and PJs can.
After washing up everything in the sink after the trilogy.. I felt so utterly pathetic.
Twenty Three years of age..
Yet I cannot look the least bit as glamourous as those babes in Desperate Housewives. Instead, I feel every bit as frumpy as those aunties (or perhaps even worse).

Sunday never got lazier.. really.
After having lunch, we went back to sleep and only woke at 6pm.
Imagined how freaked we were when we woke at 6pm.
We just wasted a day.. spending quality time.. sleeping.
Then again, I read this self-help about quality time.
You know how we always say.. its not the amount of time we spend with each, its the quality time spent?
Well, that's bull..
WE should spend time together till we've had enough of each other.. that will then be quality time.
How can we be satisfied with that little "quality time" we have together, when we've still not had enough?
So quality time, is achieved when we have that "ok, i've had enough of you" feeling.

Attended an Xmas party on Saturday at my MD's place right smack in 6th Ave.
I never knew we had that many rich folks in Singapore.
And I say it now..
I loathe the rich folks.
How obscene can you get?
The huge house, fancy cars.

-breathes in and out-
Contented I shall be.

Anyhow, we had a truly traditional American fare.. NOt that I really really liked it.. BUt carebear enjoyed the food.. (though he eats just about anything).. I think its.. not too off la. And everything was home-made can.. Amazing.

And yes, my boss had a freakingly huge and obscenely pretty house.
Everything.. was just about perfect.

Carebear: When huh, can we have this kinda house? (x 50times. He asked me this like almost 50 times really..)
Me: hmm.. let's see (looks around).. Never can..

Unless we strike toto la.
The odds are as good as never lor.

The pink razr is out.
I thought I would make a rush for it.. Especially after being shown the pictures..
But after seeing the phone for myself on Saturday..
I think its sucky..
It isn't entirely pink.
Its pink and silver.
So how is it nice?
It looks kinda odd.. and cheap.

Ok.. so quite a number like the phone..
But really.. I am not a fan of the v3. (though I have the black)
Get frustrating after a while.....
Then again, it might just be excuse to get a new phone.

Bah..
