Room Cleaning...

... is something that i don't like to do, but have to do.

It's quite a chore, really. That's why it's called household chores haha. (so lame). But seriously, ever since i came here, I really start to realise how precious my maid Mable is. It is here that i finally learn how to appreciate all the work that she does for my family and my home. I don't clean my room everyweek, I try to vacuum it every once in 2 weeks. And even so, it's so tiring. I have to admit I have been pretty pampered, or rather, very. Back home, I don't have to care about how dirty my room is; I can simply just sweep eraser rubbings onto the floor...but here, i would think twice and sweeped it to my palm instead and throw it in a bin. Back home, i can just use as many plates as i want, and my dear mable would wash it for me and everything will be spick and span. Here, I would think twice and use as little plates as possible so i can save some time from washing. Simple things like these.

I had to come all the way here to learn how to use the washing machine, hand-wash my clothes, clean the toiletbowl, wash lots of dishes quickly, mop and vacuum the floor. I have seriously been too pampered. Thank goodness i realise it here hehe.

I'm not complaining, but instead, i'm happy that i'm learning. This way, when i go back home, I won't take my maid and mom for granted anymore, and i guess, it'll be good for me in the future. Honestly, whenever i mentioned to anyone that i wouldn't mind being a housewife, I always think about cooking for my other half and taking care of our kids. Cleaning toilets wouldn't come into my mind instantaneously...and now i'm starting to imagine cleaning the entire house everyday. Oh my goodness. Cleaning my own room is already such a chore, i can't imagine an entire house! Haha.
