Good Day All,

Sarah teringin nak tahu apa activiti isteri-isteri yg tinggal di Oversea.
As a expertriat wife adakah you all " Ladies of Leisure".Just go for shopping and clubbing.

One more thing adakah anda kerja atau just stay at home.

Just curios yer mcm mana wife yang before this carrer women than have to resigned sebab follow husband to oversea.How you manage financial issue or do housework.

Sarah tak ada experience to share but banyak juga Malaysian housewife diLondon ni datang ke sini sebab follow her husband for further study or keje disini.Dari accountant suddenly jadi housewife memang susah but they said they so happy.

Saya kat sini...bz selalu....kalau xbz baca forum.
Anak2 pegi sch...aku active dgn other ladies kat fitness center ,Women Club activities..of course memerangkap accountant kat rumah..bayar bill..check bank account...sebab my hubby x pernah ambil tahu bila gaji dia masuk...

sebulan sekali dinner with family at local rest. every weekend keluar dinner dgn hubby (just 2 of us)

Seminggu sekali aku spend sejam dua kat shopping mall sorang2 or with my best friend then stop for coffee.
Seblh ptg...jadi driver my kids...for thier activities after sch.

By 9pm...kids gone to bed...I just want to take it easy...rest and watch TV ...and talk with my hubby.

I datang US after 6 months terus dapat kerja as Exec. Assistant for GM. Kat sini kena 'try' and 'persistent' more than locals especially when you just arrived. Sebabnya, our Malaysian tongue still strong even in English. That definitely potong stim interviewers. After six months dapat keje, I pi kelas American English Pronunciation kat University of Maryland for 6 months. What a change. Kalau dulu I kena ulang dekat 3 kali bila cakap dalam phone, after that no more.

Then moved to Texas, I dapat keje kat hospital as assistant, hate it...too busy, two weeks I quit, dapat offer lain, but then got better offer that willing to pay me double. Now I am happy with my job.

So my routine:

Monday to Friday...8 to 5 pi kojo

5:30 sampai rumah, peluk hubby dulu kalau dia sampai dulu

Tukar baju terus masak.

6:30pm dinner, clean the house seadanya, siram bunga, borak2 ngan hubby.

Pukul 11:00pm I dah tidur....weekend selalunya pi renting movie or pi makan luar or pi diving.

Tapi kat situ weekend kawan malaysian selalu buat gathering, so weekend full of activities

errrkkkk....bkn ke 'menganyam ketupat ke' aktiviti paling glamorrrr

lilo_kill · Post time 9-4-2008 03:14 PM

aktiviti gue...

1. internet... kalau rumah tarak internet leh mati kutu....
2. seminggu sekali kuar g gathering rumah kawan msia.. sometime ada jemputan sampai dua tiga kali seminggu...

3. shopping groceries sambil2 cuci mata.. nak beli tak ler.. mahal amat...
4. petang bawak anak2 g playground. tak pun just stay home tgk tv.
5. masaklah off course.. tarak kerja lain tu jerlah..

pendek kata wa ni jenis homely kut.. wakaka.. sejak duk sini jer.. kalau masa kat US dulu mengukur jalan jer kerjanya... then membilang duit kat chasier jer kerjanya..

I mmg true blue lady of leisure.

Actually kalau nak di bandingkan, masa kat Msia dulu lagi lady of leisure walaupun kena kerja. Bukannye apa, dpt gaji, joli sakan. Tak payah mintak2 duit utk beli apa2. Gaji tak yah nak share ngan husband. Housework pun ada org buat. Jaga anak pun org jaga. Kkdg nak gi jalan2 pun ada drebar tolong drive. Nak makan sedap2 pun, main tunjuk2 je.

Kat sini semua pun kena buat sendiri. Nak shopping pun kena tenyeh duit husband. Masak, kemas rumah sikit2, jaga anak pun sendirian berhad.

jalan kaki kira riadah tak?

selau wa jalan tolak shukri dlm stroller dlm 1km gitu, lepastu patah balik 1 km.. orait tak?

nak main sport susahla, nak kena hantar kat baby sitter.

tapi start summer ni nak pi cari fitness centre yg ada child care, senang skit
