10:13 pm
one of these days singapore is so going to snow.
why?
i cleaned the house!!
ok, given that my mother's not in the country until next weekend and my sister's at my aunt's house until then, which makes me the only free person in the whole house to tidy things around.
let's see..
first i woke up after almost 7 hours of sleep to make breakfast for my father, during which i had ceremoniously turned the bottom of his pizza-bread thing into charcoal because i was washing up and forgot that my father had preheated the oven which i don't, which, disrupted my timing.
yeah well, it's nothing that a good scraping off can't do.
then i watched a bit of tv after my father went to work.
managed to catch a bit of japanese and korean music on mtv chinese plus "just shoot me" on star world.
here comes the unusual part.
i washed the clothes and mopped the whole house.
ok, i didn't wash the clothes per se since all i had to was to dump them into the washing machine and it'll do all the work for me.
but!! but but!!
i ironed a pile of clothes, which included a pair of pants.
of the few kinds of garments that i hate to iron, i absolutely abhor pants. it is just so difficult to get all the creases right and it's just such a big piece that i can't be sure that while i ironed this part, the previous part won't wrinkle.
ah well, i got past that part of hell.
cleaned my fan next (so that my mother can't complain about the amount of dust that was caught between the wires anymore) after mopping every single room.
well, except my sister's since she won't be back for a few days and dust will still collect.
i even washed the kitchen floor!
not with the detergent though, just water.
still! it's quite shocking for me to do all those that i did today and my grandmother was in a state of disbelief after listening to me counting off the stuff that i had accomplished for 2 hours of my morning when she called in the afternoon to check on me.
now i've got to plan my meals for tomorrow.
it's unbelievably easy for me to get sick of outside food even if it had only been 2 nights.
let's see if i can shock more people for the next few days to come.
