toilets

Have you tried cleaning your own toilet? A toilet that is at least 15 years old?

I just got myself intimate with my own toilet which haven't been washed for 2 months. Oh well, i've scrubbed things here and there but i've never got down to wipe down and clean every inch of it.

Gosh, i should have bullied my dad into doing it. But hey, he's not getting younger and i'll have to do it since rightfully, i use it more than him. In any case, it was a back-breaking, thigh-burning, feet-hurting experience. I never like to squat and i never like to bend. But for 1.5 hrs, i have done nothing but that to tease out the moulds between the tile crevices and scrub the pipes and everything. Seriously, i need to redesign my toilet so that there won't be any tiles. I have too many tiles in my toilet man....

i wonder how my mum can sit in the toilet for 2 hours doing what i've done. It's amazing.

On the other hand, i probably lost a kg or something.

So people, clean your own toilet for once and you'll feel what i feel and appreciate your maid/mummies (sometimes both are not mutually exclusive) more.

(p.s. my hands look like prunes.)

Today is a fantastic day to lie in bed and read. Which i did, well... only after i completed a chapter of economic geography. Then it got too cold and i just couldn't resist the urge to tuck into bed with blankets all the way up to my chin and to just read. Soon, i feel asleep and i only just woke up. Hahahaaa...now gonna conquer chapter 4: Commodity chains.

I read kris's blog and yvonne's back to back (but not in that order) and was a tinny bit twinged by the mention of death. Somehow, i felt like my mum died but i have to consciously remind myself that my mum's still here. Just not washing the toilets anymore.

In any case, it just reminded me how life can be unpredictably and watching a play back of hustle makes me even more convinced to "expect the unexpected". Don't worry gals....no permanent damage done.
