30 Days of Being Mrs Chu :)
Emotions: Still cheery:)
On being his wife: So far so good, I did not get a rude shock of any forms. I guess mainly because the man has been who he always has been. And I am not too particular when it comes to neatness and organisation. Hence, to date there is no screaming our heads off over toilet seats and tooth paste. It's nice to go home together after an event, to know that someone is committed to taking care of your life and of course, for me, a great perk is to be able to roll over as and when for a little cuddle:)
On being a wife: I am blaming it on my upbringing and education that I am not the good,old, traditional wife, not one bit. The man has never requested for me to iron his shirt or fold his clothes. But part of me still feel quite responsible for it. I am making some progress, I hope it last!
On being a member of the Chu's household: I am enjoying the personal bathroom very much. And the comfortable bed too. Everyday I get taken care of and fed, to the extent that I feel very embarrassed. I felt like a lazy bum, always doing nothing but awaiting to be called to eat this and drink that. But before you form too much of an image of Lynn - the lazy daughter in law, refer to the next para.
On being a daughter in law: My in-laws have been very nice to me. I can see that as much as I feel a little awkward around them still, they feel awkward towards me too. But I am thanking God for this civility. I make conscious effort not to change the culture and practices. I have resolved within me that there is no need to bring out the 'that is not how I do it in my household'. Seriously, it really does not matter whether we leave our shoes inside or outside, mop the floor with mop or cloth. Firstly, this home technically is not mine and secondly, I am younger and much more adaptable. And I guess my little 'sacrifice' of drinking bitter herbal tea won't quite qualify as a sacrifice. So with my that little change in mindset and 'papa mama' as and when appropriate, I am surviving. But each day, I still pray for God to grant me favour with my in-laws.
On being Lynn: Quite a few people have commented that I look good/better after getting married. I have 3 reasons to explain this phenomenon. One, I look like crap during working days. Two, thus I look good now because it's the holidays and I am eating and sleeping well. Three, people like to imagine that marriage cause a woman to glow:) I just hope that when work starts, they are not going to go 'oh, you see , she has lost her marriage glow' ha! Anyway, I am indeed in good mood which will only last till today cause I'll be returning to work. I miss the engagement period a lot and is feeling a huge sense of loss. haha! There's no more need to go to Pinterest, buy magazines, think about hair, nails and gowns and have so much attention and excitement in my life! haha! I can't wait for the next honeymoon! My marriage life is currently calm and peaceful. I guess in time to come there will be new challenges. But I guess for now, I will learn to enjoy and be contented in every season of my life:)
