Hey guys. I think I am reflecting too much today. It's affecting me a lot.

Like I've lost the usual crazy ra-ra me that will chiong to do so well for the psychology online quiz that is due today. I stopped doing it and got satisfied with the results that I have gotten even though they weren't really good o.o

My exams are coming and I am not studying. Yeah something wrong with me.

I watched a show called Life Transformers 2 on channel 8 today. And I guess what I saw shocked me and my brain. I've never felt so happy and appreciative in my entire life. Really.

And then my mum she told me something about the facts of life again. Which really made me ponder... Is it true?

She said this.... Chinese men, they are always the ones you know, too much pride. Imagine a guy coming from an office job and he got retrenched or what. He won't take up jobs like cleaning, mopping or stuff, he won't. Even when the family in trouble or what, pride still very important. It's only always all the women, they dare to take up jobs, do the household chores, take care of children, it's always the women.

Realise that the men's job is actually quite simple? Go to work, work, eat, sleep, come back home from work, put the legs on the table, relax and watch tv.

What about the wife? She needs to work then what, come back home earlier to cook dinner and prepare dinner, then the fetching of kids either dad or mum does it, usually dad. Then when they all come home, mum serves the food, mum washes the dishes, what does dad do? Let me quote "put legs on the table, relax and watch tv." Then take care of the kids, coach homework, talk to the kids, the mum's better at it than the dad, no? Dad tries, attempts to or something then watch tv dont care.

Do you agree? Won't the mum be tired? And then the thing they always say is the dad would want to do what couples do on the bed and all. Poor mum, poor women.

But is it true, that Chinese men have too much pride? It's always the women, so emotionally strong, keeping the family together. Women with so much burden? I wonder, I really do.

I guess for me, I've thought about it. If I ever get married, I would make sure my husband won't be like that. For once, we would both work, share the household chores, I don't mind coming back home to cook dinner for my family but I don't know if I will have the energy. I feel happy as a mother to cook for the ones I love. As for the kids, I think it would be tedious but I guess I would want to be the closest friend ever to my kids, I want them to know that I am a mother which will want to help them as much as possible that they can share anything with me. I am like someone they look up to for help and all, a mum, best friend, like an older adult friend, that sort of role. :)

But coming back to the question, guys and girls, do you agree? Maybe the guys would be wanting to disagree almost immediately or plunge into defensive mode but guys, think about it slowly and carefully. Is it true? Then do you feel that it's right? And this whole thing about equality and all that....

I was thinking, it might not only apply to Chinese men, it could apply to all men in general. But my mum made it sound like it is Chinese men in particular. :/

I should stop thinking I guess and start studying. But leave your comments on my tagboard, it would be nice if it could be stuff like.....

Chinese male #1 or Chinese female #1 or something to identify who you are at least in terms of gender, not too much on race hahaha but just a heads up? Thanks. :)
