Spring Cleaning! |
 It's the same time every year for spring cleaning to welcome the Chinese New Year. It's sad to know that I won't be able to celebrate CNY with my family and friends in Malaysia. CNY is very important in my family and they always believe that it's auspicious to celebrate CNY at home with your family. Another thing is, Valentine's Day falls during CNY too! Damn!
I really don't wanna miss this year's CNY but I have to because I have a lot of stuff to settle in Perth. I believe that if I go back to Perth after CNY, I won't be able to settle my Perth stuff in just 2 weeks time. My house rental contract ends in March, so I have to go back before that date to ask if any one of my housemates would wanna continue with the contract. If not, they would have to move out once my lease ended.
Spring cleaning at my house is crazy! I am so scared of it every year to welcome the new year. My mum would wash everything in the house... like every inches of the house. We have to move all the furnitures out so that my mum could clean up the floor and wall thoroughly. We have to wipe every little thing in the house, clean all the plates and glasses in the cupboard! What the fuck rite? Since they are all in the cupboard and we hardly use it and they are clean... why bother? Then my mum would say that "the spider and lizard shit inside and crawl around the plates and glasses, it's dirty." Urrgghh... I seriously need a maid during spring cleaning!
Not only that, my mum would also clean up our two big fridges and throw away all the expired stuff. I love doing this as I really can't stand fridge with expired stuff and dirty stuff in there. It just made me feel like it would contaminate my fresh food and there would be a smell in the fridge! Eeeekkk... In Perth, I clean up my fridge every 3 to 4 months. Even if I am busy, I would at least check on all the food and bottles to check whether they have expired.
Now, I have cleaned up all my cupboards, my wardrobe and study table in my room because I know that I will be going back to Perth next week and won't be able to clean up before CNY. Anyway, I have found out a few boxes of 'treasure' while I was cleaning my cupboard! I used to collect stamps, bus tickets, postcards, birthday cards and celebrity photos when I was young.
I used to have more than 40 pen-pals from all over the world and I exchanged a lot of stuff with them. Those were the days... Ah! Those memories! Hehehehe... I really wanted to throw everything away to make space for stuff that I am sending back from Perth. But in the end, I just couldn't do it! Some of the stamps are valuable coz they are those first release stamps and I did queue up at the post office early morning just to wait for that first release stamps! Hahaha...
Guess what? I have to do all these when I go back to Perth! Fuck! I fucking hate cleaning so many stuff in one time because my nose is sensitive to dust. I would keep sneezing and have runny nose throughout the whole cleaning process!!! I should wear a mask next time! No matter what happen, I can't wait to go back to Perth.
Four more days to paradise!
