I don’t know about others, but I hate ironing clothes. It’s the one household chore which I absolutely dread. I mean, not that I like doing the chores ‘cos if I had a choice, I would rather be a tai-tai and leave it to the maid! Hee.
\nAnyway, I just find ironing troublesome and frankly I suck at it, especially when it comes to ironing long pants\/trousers. When I’m ironing the latter, I never get it right. Somehow the folds just never seem to be able to flatten out properly and there’ll be some creases lingering despite my best efforts. Ah yes, same goes for shirts. It’s so hard to press a shirt properly! Maybe I’m just terribly incompetent, but I find the sleeves and the parts where the buttons are extremely difficult to iron well.
\nWhat’s more, ironing is just not fun in Singapore where the weather’s so hot. Most of the time after I’m done with the ironing, I will inevitably find beads of sweat on my skin. The heat from the iron (especially so with steam irons) just makes me perspire! I hate it.
\nAs a result, I like to buy clothes which require minimal ironing, or even better, none at all. Clothes of such nature are usually those made out of polyester or some synthetic fabric, or clothes that are creased on purpose. These type of clothes suit lazy people like me to a tee!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
