My "Detachment" - Tai Tai for 2wks

People all think tat i come US, can slack and be tai tai. Dun need to work, everyday shake legs at home. But they are only half correct.

Wives like me, really dun need to work, cuz our Visa is not working permit. We oso everyday stay at home, but not shake legs, cuz have to cook and do homechorus, faithfully guai guai wait for hubby to come home. As for slacking, ya, when hubby at work, i slack lor.. but he still will come back ma!!!! So how to be a tai tai!?!? cannot go out shopping as and when i like!!! cuz he drove the car to work and dun wan to buy me a car!!!! ARGH!!!

so, i wish fairy godmother will use her magic wand and make me a real tai tai. There r many chances. Many detachment chances for the guys. My monkey is supposed to go, but somehow for many reasons, he did not.

SO, while other wives are enjoying their tai tai life while they hubbies slog their life at other states working for 2 wks, I, the poor maid have to SLOG at home, cooking and cooking and life carry on as USUAL, no change! seeing other gals going out havod, i beri envy...

THEN.... i decided... since he nv go detachment last mth... i WILL GO!!! HAHAHAAA...

But of cuz.. not to go other states to work.. but make myself disappear from my maid life at home...

Kinda pai seh to say, i had been mixing with my gals (other wives here), having chit chat sessions, gatherings, makan session, shopping and PLAYING MAHJIONG! hahaaa... leaving the poor monkey washing clothes and folding them at home when i m out playing MJ till dawn! hahaa... but i still kind la.... will bring him out for dinner.. if i cook at home, i will get the gals to come over.. if my gals cook at their place.. i will bring my monkey and my own rice pot along (cuz he eats so much rice i have to cook extra)...

And for the 2 wks.. i accomplished so much things tat are all so shiok!!!! Dining out oso shiok! Dunno for tat 2wks.. how many times we dined at King Egg Roll liao... hahaa

Below are some highlights and events which we had taken photo. The rest of the havod moments were not posted here cuz we didn't take pics leh...

Okie, enuff said.. after tat, we went shopping at TJ Max and Ross... just these 2 shops already took the entire afternoon... hahaa.....

We went to Ross for dunno how many times during the detachment period.. and i like the experience there, Big changing room, cheap and nice good quality clothing, and the company of cuz!

my fav pink dress.. comfy and cheap...

love the ribbons.. can tie them any way i like..... looks formal enuff with a jacket... yet casual enuff to survive in hot and humid sg...

this is for leisure wear of cuz... kinda translucent but looks good with a black little tube inside... and the rubber on the waist makes me looks thinner... yeah!

i bought 2 shorts oni to realise tat they are almost the same style but diff color... haha... summer coming..
