The Housework Starts!

Have been MIA for the last few days. The Jemej is dead tired now. The Boy is down with fever. The Girl looks like a panda. But it's all worth it, as we see the Munchkin Habitat coming altogether. We have been cleaning the house relentlessly, arranged and coordinated the delivery of all the furniture and electrical appliances. Heng-daddy and Heng-mummy have been really awesome, helping us with all the cleaning and fixing around the house. We would never have made it without them.

I have since transformed - into the neighbourhood auntie. Was out buying pails, brooms, mop, dustpan, scrubs, clothes pegs, hangars... you name them, I bought them. It was fun, with all the colour coordination. Here's my favourite - the bigger blue one for The Boy obviously, and the smaller pink one for me. Hopefully, this translates into the amount of cleaning each of us has to do. hahahaah.


Taking inspiration from Lilsnooze, I have since highlighted to all concerned that because of my skin problem (I have eczema), washing the dishes won't exactly do good for my skin....

lilsnooze > Heh, i didn't say you ARE NOT! ;)

little ms bead-a-lot > I know! Happened to chance upon these colours which I didn't see in many of the other shops I went to. I told him he gotta do more work, that's why his blue pail is bigger. haha

beanbean > I know, it's been quite a while! You sure only the first round of cleaning is hard? Or do you mean only the first time is satisfying??? Hahahah
