Domestic Goddess

If stay-home mums were to earn a salary, they would be getting USD 134,000 annually for all her work. And a housewife looking like this?
She'll earn an extra $80,000.
I couldn't afford the wage my mum deserves so i took my mum out for a Phyto pampering session on Mother's Day instead.

Luxury at its Best

Haven’t had time to eat? Phyto has a delivery service from a nearby Thai restaurant. Finally found the Malaysian Hokkien Mee ($4.50) that is black and don’t come with just prawns.

Some fortunate mothers get to play majong, have high-tea and buy LV but most mothers like mine hardly get time to put their feet up to veg out. Here at Phyto, amidst the nourishing hair treatment she gets to choose from the latest block buster (Wall Street, Unstoppable, Eat Pray Love) or Korean drama serials.


Holed up in a dark room, in a cushy Osim massage chair with complimentary free flow of hot honey lemon, I was ecstatic to get Protégé with my favourite actor Daniel Wu (who is sadly married now, but why should it matter? Fantasy lives.)

Visual and sensory delight as the therapist kneads the tight knots of house work away.



"I have too many fantasies to be a housewife.
I guess I am a fantasy.” (Marilyn Monroe)

At the start of every school year, my form teacher would always ask us what our ambition is. I raised my hand and said “a house wife!”


Without fail, she would chide me every year and said I can do better than that. Not allowing my teacher to thrash my dreams, I told her a house wife is not only a housekeeper, but a day-care teacher, a cook, an accountant, and psychologist. She is the CEO of the home!

The best present to give to a mum/ a girlfriend or a woman (period) is to send a pampering session down her way. I am preparing to be a domestic goddess with luscious hair like that.

 “I would be content being a housewife if
I could find the kind of man
who wouldn't treat me like one.”
(Terry McMillan)
