Sometimes you just can't blame silais (general term for sedentary housewives) for being fat. I said this because I got the chance to experience my mom's lifestyle (the silai's style) ever since (or accidentally?) I started nesting at home.
First thing in the morning, do the routine everyone does i.e. brush teeth, wash face. The difference between silais and non-silais is that we (the silais) will read newspaper while waiting for bowel movement instead of eating breakfast because we silais have all the time in the world. We can eat whenever we want, shit whenever we feel best.
Then at 2pm we watch the daytime show on 711 - "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" (a DAYTIME show is created especially for people like us) together with all other silais on the other side of the world.
Later on, we would sit down and think of what to cook for dinner. Sometimes, it can be brain damaging just thinking of what to put in the wok. If our mood is good, we bake!
After the whole process of defrosting, seasoning, wok heating, stir-frying, washing and finally serving, we bath before dinner while we wait for other family members to come home.
Right after dinner, we will again crouch in font of the idiot box (and hide away all the remote controls) to watch WAH LAI TOI (and only WLT is allowed) from 8pm till bedtime (which is ANYTIME up to us). Alternatively, silais sometimes choose to do "youtubing" or for those pro-politic silais they will start having discussions based on the latest, hottest topics from www.malaysiakini.com with other silais (who are youtubing half-way);-)
This routine then repeats itself again and again.. (waking up and sleeping late is the best part.. at least for me).
If you read carefully, exercise is seldom (or should I say never ever was) in our routine but watching tv covers most part of it!
So, you can't blame silais for being fat (they just can't find time going to clubs because its just too far a driving distance for them and talking about those gym machines which many silais have bought home..they just somehow don't seem appetizing anymore). Unless the silais are staying in houses (perhaps in mansions/castles) which have compounds big enough to contain an olympic-sized pool or a park wide enough to play golf, they should not have any excuses to be fat. But then again, silais at that level can just throw cash at the surgeons to cut off whatever they don't want and add on what is not enough and they will end up just looking all fine and richer than before.
Anyway, life is unfair, the rich gets richer and more beautiful in simpler ways. So, live with the fact! Silais will eventually grow fat unless they have 25hours a day or have more than enough cash to throw at the plastic doctors!

my mom is a silai but she's not fat :p
there are two major categories of silais:
One is the full-time ones
(just sit at home FULL TIME;
SI= SIT at home;
LAI= wait for ppl to LAI (come))
and also we have the part time silais (which they have a daytime job e.g. fetching children around, help out at NGOs or PAWS or SPCA etc) which have lower relative risk of becoming fat.
Give excuse only, silais like to tell other people how busy they are doing housework but in fact they just watch TV all the time like "Lak Bi Siao Sing" mother
I for one know the hardship of a si lai although I'm not one. I think as a pre-si lai er( if I manage to marry a rich man), will not be so fat because I will be fully dedicated to my si lai profession and attend to it fiercely :D
Even if I do marry a rich man, I think I will opt for being a part time si lai.
part time is a good choice to avoid falling into the fat trap..! i put on weight staying home instead!
love it! i prefer to be a silai like u...but just hope will not become too fat.
