The computer addicts and the housework idiots
My landlady Mrs K came to collect rental and we chatted a bit. She was telling me about her daughter who is 20, studying in college and comes back during the weekend. She is going to fly to NZ to further her study in two months time.
Mrs K complained to me about her daughter, that she doesn’t do her laundry everyday and spend too much time online. It almost sounds like she was talking about me, and she sounds so much like my mother. LOL
My mother until today grumbles about me doing laundry once a week. She cannot stand the dirty laundry get accumulated until one whole basket. She likes to clear the laundry basket and do her laundry everyday. I tried to convinced her that it saves water and thus more environmentally friendly to have one whole load instead of washing a few pieces of garments everyday. But, she calls that laziness like Mrs K. :-)
It’s hard for people like Mrs K and my mother to understand why people spend so much time in front of the computer. My dad used to grumble about that too, until he himself got hook on the internet and now he sees him downloading all sort of stuffs from torrents. He is more expert than anyone of us when it comes to torrent.
However, my mother has learned to accept the fact that computer is just like television, people get addicted to it. She is alright with me getting online now as she knows I am working, not just socializing or solely for entertainment.
Filed under musings | Comment (0)Buying a laptop
We have wanted to get a new laptop for a couple of months now. Finally we can get it next month. We didn’t want to pay with credit card or touch the saving for emergency fund, so we waited to have enough cash in hand to buy the new laptop.
It’s going to be funded from the money made from writing paid posts. We are hoping with a newer laptop that has larger laptop memory, work can be done more efficiently. The current computer that we have is two years old. Though it functions perfectly, it’s a bit slow, especially when required to open multiple tabs or windows, it often cannot cope with the multi-tasking and hang on us.

Happy news, this blog is getting a PR1 during the recent update. I thought Granny G was playing a practical joke on me. This blog hardly have any traffics and it’s so new, the links are far and between as well. But, since granny G decided that it’s worth ranking it, then I would spend more time here.:-)

This blog sounds so gloomy and sad all the time, today I have decided that it’s time for me to cheer up and start to live up to the name of the blog - to live and to explore. How can I be such a gloomy explorer? LOL

How I wished this extreme tiredness is just a phase and it will go away soon. I have been feeling so tired for the past few days. I thought it was because of sleep deprivation, but I just took three hours of nap yesterday, I am still feeling tired. It’s hard to believe that age is finally catching up with me. I shouldn’t complaint hubby slept too much and how I could function with less sleep than him. LOL
I wonder whether it has to do with lack of physical activities and being a carbohydrate junkie. I have wanted to start some exercise regime, but the will is there, the flesh is weak. Time to get out the pairs of tennis shoes and drag my lazy bums to get out of the door for a walk every morning.
