ha ha... I know what you mean... there are two units in my block now doing hacking works... when I am on leave, it is a real headache...

at the moment, it is better to be at work than to take leave and rest at home due to the noise.

btw, which block you at?

Me at Blk 299B (the unpopular block that the EAs suddenly sold like hotcakes).

Today is Day 1 of hacking works for one of my other neighbour downstairs. And many more to go. Anyway, since the reno timings and days are abided so far, I'm ok with it. After all, it's inevitable that people will do hacking works mah.

Aiyah...at least u can take leave or choose to go to work. I'm a homemaker lah. The next closest thing that I can do is to "escape" to my parent's place only when it's unbearable.

Home maker? Opps... I see the nick gendon, I assume you are a man

No need to rush to commute to work... schedule stuff at your own time... heh heh... even got schedule, also not as xiong as when working

I would say it's an own time own target lor. So far, been doing it since mid-2002 to date.

Of course, being a homemaker (by my choice, btw) also has it's ups and downs lah.

And it also depends on your own expectation.

The downside,

- u get lesser money for more work to be done

- sometimes can feel as if you're on standby 24/7, working more than 16 hours a day.

- When I get ill & visit doctor, doctor asked me if need MC or not, I will ask back if can submit MC to my hubby or not. And not guaranteed that I will get off from housework.

- alot of people think that I'm free most of the time. Actually, homemakers also need proper schedule to keep their sanity.

The upside,

- can go to the banks any time during biz hours

- no need to wait for weekends to go to the zoo, bookstores, sentosa, IKEA or shopping malls

- noon time enjoy see other people rushing back to office, while u enjoy your kopi or tea for a longer time

- drive during off-peak hours

- use public transport during off-peak and mad hours, no need to squeeze with the crowds

- and many many more !!

there is always a upside and a downside to everything... heh heh...

and yes... being a home maker does have her/his own schedule... but it is FLEXIBLE! that is what is most important to me.
