Took me a long time

Sometimes doing some random stuffs/jobs in the house (not housework related) takes days for me to complete. Lots of tidying and tidying, I don’t even know why I have to keep tidying all the time when it’s tidied? Yah, it does get messy sometimes when the family members just throw things in without tidying. Then I have no idea what’s inside the cabinet and have to start putting them in the correct place. Sigh…..am really the only person in the house organizing and keeping things.

For this job - it took me months 🤭. I’m lucky if I do small little jobs with minimal time, for eg. every 6mths or so I’ll check the medicine drawers, teabags drawers n throw out expired stuffs. Every few months I’ll check and declutter my walk-in until I really have nothing to declutter coz those are things that I’ve been using very often.

Project mini-Kiehl’s shop over the years 

Things in my house are organized in boxes including my Kiehl’s products. I started with only 2 boxes then became 4 boxes and now 5 boxes. At one time, my things were all mixed together. Then I segregate them. Over time this face of mine 来不及用 and there were always so many promotions for Kiehl’s members so I buy coz I’m greedy to stock up. Then the boxes got messy again. 🤣. The last time before the 26th Oct 2025 project I did segregate them but didn’t have time to label coz I had to cook dinner. Not that I have good memory, months later I soon forgot which item is in which box. I had to open up the boxes when I needed to get a new facial cleanser. All my projects may not be done on consecutive days coz I only have two hands and many tasks. Have just so many things to do around the house that I can totally forgot I have a project 60% completed. 

26th Oct. 

I had to put Che-che’s new facial wash but I can’t remember which box contained the facial cleansers 😁

a) took all 5 boxes out from two toilets. Ideally is to put in same spot but there’s not enough space where the stupid sink pipe in the way, so need to play ‘fit the space’ puzzle.

b) took everything out again from each box coz decided to list down the items and count them. Then did a temp label ‘BOX A - E’ with a scotch tape  as it’ll take extra time for me / leychey to use my Nimbot label printer. Next time when I’m using the label printer then I will print them out. That is IF I REMEMBER.

Put the boxes back coz I have to cook. 

Intermission : Between 27th Oct to 18th Nov

And then I forgot I had the scribbled list I put in between my iPad coz that’s where I’m going to do a stock / inventory list. Out of sight out of mind 🤣.

19th Nov @ night 

Was reaching for something and then I brought my iPad out. The list dropped on the floor. Oops!🙊 Since I had a little time in the night (I didn’t cook today as I was out in PP so packed dinner home for the family) decided to try to get some work done. 

(a) find apps. Tried some and didn’t like it

(b) opened up my Goodnotes folder to see what templates I have in there 

(c) no inventory templates. Spent time looking in Etsy.

(d) purchased and instant download. Wanted to write but my handwriting is so ugly. Tried typing and it took such a long time and difficult n slow to get the alignment  

Then I stopped coz I was tired and lost interest, spent time clearing photos and draft my blog.

25th Feb 2026 (Wed)

Lo and behold I had totally forgotten about this. Told ya my memory is really bad. 

No way was I going to type in Goodnotes again. It’s so messy and difficult. 有点不甘愿 so looked for apps again. Yippee! I found one which is simple and nice - has Nitori colours.  

Nitori logo

I was able to categorize them so neatly, just typing a few out and it looks so organized. It’s important too that I indicated which box the items are. The only hassle is looking for pictures. No choice if I want things to look neat. Next thing is to figure out if I can put them into folders. I do have my (1) Method cleaning products which I bulk-purchased and the (2) house cleaning products + human cleaning products that I need to do my inventory count. Haha! Like so siao, I don’t have a store but I’m operating like my house is a store. Oh well, it’s actually a store 🤣. 

Till then, I don’t know when I will fully complete this project coz I have 5 boxes items to compile. And I need to clear as much iMovie and photos I can from my phone for my upcoming trip in March. Who knows maybe I will complete this Project mini-Kiehl’s in October? 😉

Done!

I was so tempted to procrastinate the cleaning and tidying but if I don’t do so, who will do it? Just so fed up when it seems like I’m the only person living in this house. Girls don’t even know where certain items are placed in the house 🤨. My favourite phrase when I tell friends how my house is kept a little tidier is “I’m a magician. Leave plates on the table, suddenly it disappears. Leave cups in the sink, suddenly it disappears. Dirty clothes become neatly pressed clothes.” 🧙🪄

Decided to throw out all the soil and fertilizers they didn’t seem to be useable. Should have just cleared out the same time we cleared the cabinet. I let out a loud scream when I saw a teeny lizzie. I was smart enough to use the broom to smack the items on the floor and indeed the baby popped its head out, as dramatic as ever I screamed. Che-che who was on the phone at that time in lil’ one’s room closed the window 😬. 

Will I be buying new soil and pellets and fertilisers? Yes, I need to buy new fertilisers especially for my adeniums, my ang ang huey. I’ll probably not buy anymore soil or pellets anymore or small pots coz my sunflowers 🌻 attempts were futile for the last 5x. As much as I’d like to plant the new flower seeds I bought, I honestly feel I don’t have the energy to do that now. I should set my priority to stay indoor now 🤭 and only step out in my PES in the night to water my plants. 

Bought a new scrub in October (so this job in tidying the PES has been an ongoing thoughts) coz I can’t find the handheld scrubber!!!! Anyway, I feel age is catching up with the backaches, that I decided to get one with a longer stick so I didn’t have to squat down, stand up n feel giddy, squat down. It’s no joke! The last time I did this kind of massive scrub, I only did the area near the small gate to the water feature and I was screaming internally for help. Was under the hot sun. 

Is this a good purchase? I can’t get back the clean clean floor as we used to have 10 years ago. It did help in some ways but I found myself with another kind of backache with shoulder pain. I had to hold on to the stick coz the 1500RPM brush was trying to “run away” if you know what I mean. It’s as if I was holding onto my dear life to a scrubber pole in a Signal 8 typhoon. I lessen the energy used to scrub the floor with a hard bristle broom but instead used up my energy to hold onto the stick. 😆 equally tiring and backbreaking. 

Actually I do like it bare there. Or maybe I shouldn’t put the cabinet there anymore? Less thing to worry about 🦎everytime I open the cabinet to get the fertilizer. 

Urgh! The ugly grout lines and dirty tiles

Outdoor cabinet

I’m the laziest person. 

After the last post on changing out my side drawer cabinet on 28th Nov. muahaha! And it’s exactly a month later that I decided to fix up the PES cabinet. 

We cleared the two cabinets on 14th Dec, the last day of the two designated dates for residents to clear their bulky items. My PES is in a mess as we took out items from the outdoor cabinet and I was lazy aka tired aka fed-up-to-do-everything-myself to check what I want to keep in the new cabinet. The back part / the unseen part 🤭 of the balcony is messy ever since the 14th. 😂 I’m so worried to find lizzie hiding in there somehow.  

28th Dec (Sun)

Had to fix this up. And I also had to settle the travel insurances and pack the bags. Argh! Took me so bloody long to fix it up. Left it by the main door coz I need to clean the balcony first before I can bring out this new cabinet. 

Tomorrow. I hope tomorrow I can scrub the floor. Sobs …. I really want to hire someone to help me to scrub the balcony 😭. If my neighbours hear me scream tomorrow means a bloody lizzie found a hiding place. 

** edit : indeed a baby lizzie found a place in the packet of soil. Yeeks! Whether it’s baby or hugeass lizzie, I let out a scream. 

Changing out side cabinet

25th Nov (Tue) 

Had to change out my room side table coz I barely have space to put anything now. After picking lil’ one from school we went over to Ikea, to grab the items.

At the loading area, all five but two cars (including mine) have MANpower. My items are HEAVY especially the room side table. So tempted to act the damsel in distress but … me no single lady. Me is a married fatty lady, nobody will pay attention to me. 🤣 Had to carry and then pause to rest, carry and pause and put it at the backseat. As for the heavier cabinet, I tilt and “roll” the rectangular box into the backseat floor.

Back at home, I went back to grab this trolley and did the same to get the box down from the car. So tired and left hand numb. Left it by the door until I had the mood to do the installation. 

28th Nov (Fri)

Lao niang procrastinated long enough. Need to fix this up.

I always say those people who have super long nails / have the time to get their nails nicely done at salon do not have to do housework. Coz I have a 奴隶命 I don’t bother wasting my money on going salons, anyway I have my Masters in NailPainting from SQ. 😉 

In this pic : My nails are not long but IT IS A HINDRANCE to fixing this cabinet up. 

Coz ah-nia is not an Ikea staff rushing deliveries and installations, I took my own sweet time fixing up this cabinet. Put on music and took more than 45 mins to fix this. 

Took a break before fixing the top and base to remove nail polish and cut my nails. Taking my own sweet time installing, I think I’m enjoying the music more as I’m doing this.

Checked the bulky disposal schedule. The next one is on 13th and 14th Dec which means I should have done my homework better 😏. 没办法。都已经买了。

Left it in the yard temporarily until 14th. Che-che’s friends will be at our house on 13th so it’ll be inconvenient for me to do anything that day. On the 14th, will just remove items in the old outdoor storage and quickly roll it to the fire access area for disposal #thankgoodnessihavethisspaceinyard#

Ground floor woes

Living on the first floor for the past 10 years, I have seen more cockroaches within one year compared to 13 years in Pang-gol. What invaders have we come across all these 10 years in this house? Not much actually, we’ve had a black cat who strolled into the house. And prior to that we had monitor lizard / monkey (our condo is like a zoo 😂) in our compound. I was honestly afraid that monitor lizard might crawl into my PES. During the time when we were told of intrusion I kept my living room door closed.

Recently have noticed wasps flying into the house from the yard area, I suspect there’s a nest somewhere at the back area. For the last one week I didn’t open the windows but merely flipped the louvres to allow air in. Told hubby I will need to do the insect netting coz I really need to open the yard windows for cross ventilation. 

Today, decided to open the windows again coz the house air feels so stale. Whole day was rather uneventful until dinner time hubby exclaimed “ a bird 🦅 in the house! Where it came from?” The moment he said that the bird panicked (maybe from my scream?), I panicked and screamed coz it was flying next to me 😱 from the main door to the living room to and fro in a frenzy. And I was having my dinner so worried about hygiene if the bird came to the dining table where the girls have yet to have their dinner. Luckily neither girls were there if not hubby will hear three squeaky high pitch screaming 😂. I briefly saw it was black and asked if it was a bat and ran off to the rooms. Instinctively usually if there’s any intrusion, I would run to close the room doors, toilet and kitchen doors so it will be confined to just that space to fly/walk/crawl (🐈‍⬛ 🪳🦎) around. The man was trying to chase the bird out of the house with the sofa arm cushion (quite a comical sight actually but I must applaud his bravery coz I was so afraid) but uncle just open the living room door to PES so small 🤦🏻‍♀️. I told him to open the main door so it can fly out also but with the bird panicking and flying so fast, he also can’t make his way to the door lest he get wing slapped in the face 😂. I could have been more brave if I had something in the house, he with cushion and I with another silly armour to battle with the bird together. Alas! If only I didn’t remove the flattened boxes to the recycle bin in the day time. 

How come he didn’t think to turn off the fan? The worst is if the bird panicked fly into the fan - kamikaze itself - feather 🪶 fly; blood splatter in the house (as if the other day’s yucky sight wasn’t bad enough. No thank you, I don’t need another within a span of few days)

A while later the bird was exhausted and stayed on the door. Wait! How did the bird stand on the door? Was it a bat? What the f was that? He wanted to move towards it but I stopped him. Asked him to help me lookout and tell me where to duck if the bird or whatever shit it is flies towards me when I have my back on it. Can I trust him he will do that? Coz usually when I’m driving he doesn’t tell me “left” or “right” but just “there there.” Confirm if I fight with him in warzone, I’d be left standing there for enemy to shoot me. I had to ensure that the space is wide and no blockage for it to fly out, unlock and pushed the grille door to one side wide and open the sliding door wide. Ran towards the aisle and it took less than 30 seconds before the bird flew out of the house. And the bird or whatever it is lived to tell its momma the adventure it had in our house. 

After the drama, he asked where the bird came from. I suspect it must have flew in from the yard as our living room doors are closed. 

Looks like I really need to start doing the insect netting soon. Sigh….. seems like an easy task but it took me super long last time to do the two toilets windows, what more now the yard area window is super high. Or should I ask the pros to do a sliding mosquito netting? Haiyah! End of the day I also gotta think about cleaning, only add more jobs for myself. 

How about living room? Really want to do so that we can open the door without worries but ….. how much will it cost? Need to 省钱 ley…

Slap head moment

N was talking about Method laundry detergent just the other day when I mentioned I switched to eczema friendly laundry for che-che recently. I suddenly recalled that I was using my last handwash bottles that I use in both toilets. 

Should I finish my hand gel? I have another 2 refills bottles that I use as a handwash in the kitchen. But I do not have any dispenser bottles left to transfer the handwash. Both bottles in the toilets are the foamy foamy kind. 

In master room bathroom: Not a fan of this fragrance but I got this FOC with my huge haul purchase of house cleaners so using this. 

I used to not like this smell (I prefer foresty, citrusy, oceany smells) but after using this for a long time [we bought the huge refill packs from US] and finishing it to the last drop I kindda like it. 

Took these pics on Sat after returning home. Then I totally forgot all about it. Until when I did it was a day plus later. Quickly made the purchase before I forget.

Alamak! Blame my tired eyes, my non-existent brain and fat fingers. I only realised I pressed wrongly today after checking thru my emails. I wanted the green tea + aloe foaming handwash not waterfall. Now my hands will start smelling like my mirrors and glass and windows 🤦🏻‍♀️. 

My “work” at home always must 等等

Thermomix has been washed, dried and pushed back to its original position even before lil’ one reached home. But when I do that it means lil’ one’s rice will be cold.  

@ 7.50pm : 

Another relaxing or in other words - tu xi gang (in dialect) before I can only finish washing all the dishes + clean kitchen after lil’ one finish her dinner. Reaching home only at 7.31pm this girl takes forever to eat her dinner. 

Really! If they all can do their fair share of washing, drying and putting their crockeries and cutleries, I would be able to finish everything faster and then 收工 and adjourn back to the room to relax. 

In the meantime, this music accompanied me while I’m editing my taking-forever-to-update blog

@ 9.09pm - this music kept me going when I was drying and keeping the crockeries / cutleries. As well as taking out the thermos flask and preparing other things for next day. 

Bed vacumn

For the longest time has been wanting to change the noisy bed vacumn (Carewin. Model : HC601-SG) I have at home coz there’s a part in the collection section I can’t seem to wash off properly and it tends to give off smell whenever I use it. Other than that this Korean brand is still working fine.

Disgusting 

The Carewin HC601-SG Ultraviolet Mattress & Sofa Vacuum includes the following key specifications:

• Suction Power: 8500 Pa (Pascals)
• Function: Ultraviolet (UV) light sterilization and vacuuming for mattresses and sofas
• Filtration: Compatible with HEPA filters

Fast forward a year later I was still considering to change (that is after many usuage in between). I ordered this auto bed vacumn from Taobao but had no news, no action from seller so I cancelled order a month later in August this year.

I chose this initially as it’s a robot. I can do other things while I run the robot on the bed. Honestly would it be effective for a robot to simply ‘drive through’ or me doing it manually? And also another consideration, is this able to handle  partial manual handheld vacumning as I do run the machine on the sides of the bed as well. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise that I cancelled the order. 

A month ago when I was intensively cleaning che-che’s room when she was away with my Iris Ohyama machine, I decided to check if the brand has any bed vacumn. Indeed they have IC-FAC4 vacumn cleaner. 

So tempted to get it without checking if review is good 😂, I want to buy coz it’s Japanese brand 🤣. 幸好ah nia不是百万富翁 to buy things impulsively so I’ll take my time to make my comparison. 

Key specifications

• Vibration: Approximately 14,000 beats per minute to dislodge dust mites, pollen, and other allergens. Then it’s killed 🗡️ by the heating effect & sucked up 

• Suction power: ~140% more than previous models, utilizing Cyclone Stream Technology for separation of dust and air via centrifugal force.
• Suction levels: Three adjustable levels to suit
  different surfaces like soft bedding.
• Dust sensor: High-sensitivity sensor that
  detects particles as small as 20 microns, indicated by a color-changing LED light from green to red.  (red: dirty; orange: almost clean; green: clean)

Other features

• Rotating power brush: Spins at approximately 2,000 rpm for enhanced cleaning.
• Ergonomics: Lightweight design with an adjustable angle and lower grip for comfortable use.

Then I came across UWant M700 (China brand). interesting ……

	Key specifications
	• Rated Power: 700W
	• Suction Power: 18, 000 Pa
	• Tapping Frequency: 60, 000 times/min
	• Dust Cup Capacity: 300ml
	• Hot Air: 65°C
	• UV Light: Mercury-free UVC
	• Ultrasonic Wave: Yes
Key features • Infrared Heat Egg Kill Technology: Uses infrared heat to penetrate fabrics and eliminate dust mite eggs. • Dual-Cup Design: Separates fine dust from larger particles to prevent clogging and maintain suction. • Real-Time Mite Index Display: Shows how much mite/dust has been removed during cleaning. • Aromatherapy Mite Removal: Combines cleaning with essential oils to leave a pleasant scent. • Five-Zone Metal Beater: Aggressively dislodges particles from deep within fabrics.

Any difference between the usual vacumn that we use and the dust mite vacumn? 

Is there any diff between the two vacumn cleaners? I’m not sure honestly. Friends who had conversation with me before said they use the normal vacuum but what is the end product they see I really don’t know. Do they see the disgusting chalk like powder end product or just strands of hair/threads that is sucked up from the surface? What I like about that noisy bed vacumn is that it has the vibration plate to create earthquake on a bed but normal vacumn don’t. Newer vacumn have UV light but at the end of the day I’m usually so happy coz I can also feel the heat coming from the machine whenever the UV light is activated

Which one am I buying?

It’s really hard to make a decision. Maybe I shall think about this 6 months down the road? Or maybe I should just save money and buy the replacement? 

Let’s see whether i will update my blog when I purchase the new bed vacumn. 

Regrets

Probably the only regret I have now is to get this sink? When we renovated the kitchen in 2023, I was so excited and so proud of the kitchen sink that I taobao-ed over. Moreover it was then ‘the coolest sink with the waterfall faucet’ and all. I was one of the few dumb ones who fell for it. I do use the waterfall faucet now and then to make the purchase worth it. Some other cool thing with this sink was a cup rinser, that the guy can’t install coz the sintered stone is in the way. Anyway I’m glad we took that out coz I read after that that washing the gadget is not easy. There’s a press pump for detergent by the side too. Apart from the can pull out faucet (which explains the bottom part of the sink inside cabinet is complicated and posed another problem of not being able to organize my cabinet as neat as I’d like to)

Prior to this, just few months back I realise it’s harder to get the handwash liquid out. I’ve changed out the single bottle to this. 

So took out the thing and since there’s a hole, thankfully Taobao has the cover for it. Haiyah! So much for the excitement over this sink when I can’t use it. 

Then the next problem. I’ve been religiously cleaning and wiping the sink daily but there are days I don’t get to do it (e.g. on vacation) or days when I do it but someone else uses the sink after me and the whole thing gets wet again. The minerals build up is difficult to clean with all the grooves. So unsightly now. Urgh! 

I may want to change sink next time, maybe in a few years time. But kindda panicking now - this is undermount do I need to destroy the whole sintered stone slab to remove the sink? 

Not buying this anymore

Finally finished this bottle. I used to like this but after I bought another >>

>> This one

I decided that I prefer this smell more, that’s why in my solo trip I bought the refill pack. Haha! I’m a sucker for cleaning stuffs. Was using both concurrently in different toilets. But I will use up all the Method brand toilet cleaners first before I use this Japanese brand. I left this green bottle 3/4 empty back into the bomb shelter box and stuck a note not to throw the bottle away 😬. 

How long will it take me to finish using all the Method toilet cleaners? I absolutely have no idea coz I have a lot of cleaners in the huge Toyogo box. But it will not stop me from buying the refills for this and other cleaning stuffs I use in my future trips to Japan.

Plants at home

It’s said that having indoor plants helps to reduce stress and boost mental well being. I’m not sure if it’s true but I do like to have plants in the house to brighten up the spaces. 

Flowers

Fresh flowers in the house make a whole load of difference, giving it a more welcoming feel. I am happier coz maybe I love flowers especially tulips

It isn’t easy on the wallet to have fresh flowers all the time. So I turn to boring greens. 

Partially this reason why I turned to having a Click n Grow system at home and have lavender leaves (not successful for me but did grow and thrive well in che-che’s room once or twice before) .  

photos taken from my FB post in 15th June 2020

Pansies are beautiful. I love looking at pansies when it’s winter during our family vacations.

Lavender flowers. Aiyoh I’ve changed lavender a few times after the first n second batch mati, and weren’t that successful with lavender flowering thereafter. However the leaves do give off lovely smell

I stopped putting Click n Grow in her room when she went to the US. She didn’t want it anymore after she came back 😢. If only I could put one in my bedside table.

One day when I’m free I’d like to order a nice table arrangement of bright coloured preserved flowers for the home

Greens

It started with the pot of syngonium that Ms Wong gifted me on Mother’s Day in 2021. I continued experimenting with monstera, pennywort, sansevieria (toilet). 

I found out the hard way that monstera adansoni and syngonium thrives easily indoor 

Once in a while will need to put the vase in the A&E corner aka yard area for some sunlight. I usually don’t open the louvre windows in that direction but when I do, it means I need to help with ☀️ 

Time to change labels + organization

I think I’m crazy to even think of doing this - wanting to change the front labels of all my dry pantry items. 😂没事找闲事做 

I can’t believe I had the energy last time to photoshop and design labels (now I see my label so obiang looking). Maybe, just maybe, if I change I’ll just use the niimbot to print. Wah…also need to design and save. 

Cover top - I usually just write over the magic tape the expiry date. Easy to peel off when I top up the container with newer stuff

Okay…in the first place who is so siao on like me wanting/trying to make everything look uniformed 🤣 and organized?

********* ORGANIZATION*********

Speaking of organized, I came across this very interesting post from an Instagrammer whom I follow. 

She posted this on 25/1/25, the time I saw and bookmarked it on my phone. 

Many times I struggled to find a container to fit into that space. When I moved to current place, I bring a IKEA measuring paper tape with me to look for organization boxes. I measure the space I have, draw it down on a piece of paper and bring the paper tape with me. Quite a hassle since most times I can leave the place empty handed. So this website (although only applicable to shops in Japan. I love to go into Seria!!) is a life saver.

Thank you pi.no_living for this useful information.

My frustration - THE MESS !

This is what I’m usually frustrated with. Clearing mess left behind by x3 people. Then repeat tidying up again n again. Ok make it tidy up after 4 people coz I also need to tidy right? 

This is the mess left behind by che-che on Monday (11th Aug - yup! Another late posting) night. It was her WFH day so after work she did her relaxation. TV remote control and food clip on sofa, gaming remote control on table, snacks messy on table.  

Why can’t they put back whatever they took item from to where it belongs? I tidy and next person comes and someone else will leave the TV remote control on sofa again. 

This is only one part of the house. 

I walk to the master toilet which we mainly use and there are other mess I often have to deal with. Combs left on sink top, hair on the sink and floor, water droplets on mirror, front part of vanity top and floor, water ponding at the back part of the vanity top (I wonder if they’re washing their face or making a swimming pool?), floor mats moved into the middle of the toilet. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE DRY AREA NOT WET!! 

Oh! The bomb shelter where I had to scream so many times to not mess it up. I’ve moved the bloody heavy stuffs myself so many times just to tidy it up, barely a month later the mess comes back. 

The fridge - leave opened sausage bags anyhow lying around with the liquid seeping onto the fridge tray. Leave things around until I don’t even know if I should be tidying and cleaning the fridge coz some people will mess it up again. AND they don’t seem to be bothered that some liquid had dirtied the next thing they took out, could be a drink they want. They simply just wash for eg. that packet of Milo, then what about the fridge? The rest of the area? 

Every day I’m just repeating the same chore to tidy up after them. I was watching those Japanese minimalist or cleaning videos, and they gave advice on how :

1. Usugi cleaning 

2. Mondainai 

3. Keizoku 

4. 9 Danshari Rules to Free Up 80% of Your Space

5. Danshari techniques cleaning 

* no time to link videos to blog. 

ps. I can’t practice those coz the other 3 don’t even declutter or do their part. The best solution for me is to throw all 3 of them away 😂

Mind you I’ve only typed about the mess they leave behind everywhere. If I don’t tidy, the mess will be the same until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or longer. And they don’t get eye-sore leh….I cannot tahan lah! Haha! Just like I cannot understand why last time some passengers can mess the area around their seats, I really end up tidying up the space around them. Maybe that was a premonition I was going to be a particular wife and mother in the future. 

Cleaning the house and cooking (tho I don’t cook daily) is another job that I’m supposed to do as a SAHM/homemaker. I’m the only person tidying and checking the pantry, medications. I won’t go into details what needs to be cleaned in the house, yard and balcony as I believe I would have mentioned somewhere sometime in my blog before. 

Most times I want to go to the gym to exercise but I’m already so tired. I had the idea to exercise at least twice in the gym apart from my Fight-Do class COZ I ALSO NEED TO KEEP MYSELF FIT!!! Doing all these works I also sianz liao, just want to nuah in one corner when I can. But I really need to work out more, I need to take care of my body since I’m in perimenopausal age. Also worried about whatever darn illness I may have. 

What do I say, I’m frustrated! I’m exhausted like crazy! Kindda reminds me of CB days where I was so busy from the time I wake up till I crawl to bed at 9+ 10 after my last shower. 

My work is at home so while everyone relaxes WHILE I HAVE TO WORK. It’s so bloody unfair right? People who work only work during office hours and then come home to rest. My work is neverending. I’m not a robot, I’m feeling so exhausted all the time. Tidying up the mess is really everyone’s job. If everyone else helps to put back things properly, it would have saved me the time to do all the double triple unproductive stupid works.

I ever wondered WHAT IF ONE DAY I DIE? The house will be so messy (then again the piggies family might be able to tahan the mess & dirty sight), the house will be so dirty. Did I mention before the dirts I spotted the moment I returned from all my holidays? Kitchen sink is dirty (I wash my sink daily), stove is dirty coz they cook but they don’t clean, so if stove is dirty do you think anyone will clean the kitchen top and wall?, toilet shower area wall and floor is yucky slimy dirty, toilet sink grouting is black! My floor grout is dirty! Mirror is dirty and the list can go on. 

The only time left for me in the night, I’m already so tired my legs are tired, I look damn shagged. I can’t even decide what I want to do. A lot of times I want to do both - a facial and a leg, thigh, feet massage but I end up only able to do one thing each time. I end up dozing off on the bed with my mask until they’re all dried up OR I end up dozing off while the leg massager thing help me unknot the muscles tension / sore. Problem is I only have one massager so I gotta move it from thigh to calf (x2 legs) to feet. I would love a massage chair, I will sleep in it for sure. That always happens when I sit on those massage chairs in shopping malls after doing my grocery shopping, packing lunch with only 20mins to spare before I need to leave to pick lil’ one up. 

Most times it’s relaxation music like this will help me relax for the tired day. Recharge my mental and physical battery and embrace the aftermath of warzone the next day.
