She used to work back in her twenties but after my younger brother was born, she stopped to take care of us.
When it comes to operating the washing machines, microwave, iron and other household modern appliances, she will diligently read the manual (which most of us Gen-Y people NEVER do) and follow the best practices.
This is a total reverse from my dad. He had the toughest time in trying to learn how to ON or OFF the telly or function the microwave.
Oddly, when it came to mobile phones, it was a different story alltogether...
For the longest time, she resisted mobile phone for herself. Whenever my dad or our phones used to ring and we would ask her to help pick it up, she used to panic and fumble on the buttons to press it. (by the time she found the 'green' button, it was always too late for the caller).
It took a lot of patience and time to finally teach her how to sms once she got the calling function right when she got her own phone sometime last year. (Yes, she finally relented).
But even then, sms from her was hard to come by...
Which brings me to the purpose of this blog...
