Spring Cleaning

Mak has never gotten along with any of our maids so for the past 12 years we've made do without one. Now what's a working woman to do with the whole household to clean up, especially during ramadhan & with syawal coming?

She does it in phases heheh !!!

Today began Phase 1: which is most of the ground floor i.e. the lounge, family area, the den (aka sarang otakus & couch kentangs aka tv/puter/golf room), day room (mak's lepak place in the daytime) and dining. it took me from sahur to berbuka, but of course with many breaks in between lol. tapi cik pah kita ni mengelat besar hehehe... i skipped washing the main curtains (syhhhh, jgn citer org) and just did all the sheers/day curtains only. so pagi2 unhook, basuh & sidai... by petang, angkat, gosok & hang balik.

Sambil tu i let off all my frustrations onto the floors: vacuum all the nooks and cranies, beat up the poor old carpets, and sental, and mopped the whole place till it was squeeky clean. did all the glass windows, inside out and rearranged the den. while i was at it, i also brazenly threw out Abe's fav but broken recliner (one he keeps insisting he'll repair but never does) and waited with bated breath for the repercussion to my 'berani mati' action. mana tahan, the den is already clogged up with his huge collection of caps & other golf paraphanelia (sp.?).

But suffice to say i'm still alive and kicking hehe. when he came back and saw the place all spruced up... "eh, luas pulak nampak bilik ni ya !"... like duh !!!

AH's having a cold (mak as well) while AI has spm coming so i let the kids off the hook. that meant it was just moi all the way but it's been a good day. 'cept now ada sakit pinggang laa sikit tapi worth it... and the saving grace was, lauk berbuka semua beli jer lol.

Next week, Phase 2: the kitchen & laundry including the cabinets and all the contents *groan*

The following week, Phase 3: the whole of 1st floor.

Now how does nike say it again?

JUST DO IT !!!!!!
