"Autumn Cleaning"

Got up at 0930am this morning. I think I'm getting the hang of waking up this early now... Had cornbeef (with lotsa onions) on toast spread with melting butter and tomatoes plus Ipoh's white coffee (which Andrew's mom sent over) for breakfast *yummy*

*This post will most likely bore the crap out of you readers, if there's any at all, cos it's basically bout me cleaning my room...*

Anyway, I finally got to cleaning my room today. I've told myself a million times that I should do that some day and now I've done it! I spent the whole day cleaning my room. Started after breakfast till bout 0600pm! I started cleaning the windows first. Initially, I thought it would be an easy job but it wasn't! I never really realised that there are lotsa stains on my window! Eww! So I basically spent almost an hour scraping the window till it's clear from the stains and wiped it (with berry scented cloth) till it's now squeaky clean, and smells good too! Man, I never knew that cleaning a window would be so tiring! I mean, it's just ONE window! Come to think of it, when was the last time it got cleaned at all? Damn the previous tenants!

With that done, I went on with my massive wardrobe. And I mean massive! It's got enough compartments for me to put all my clothes (including my luggage), my books, etc into it XD But that didn't take long since I've cleaned it when I first moved in. Then there were my tiny study table, my drawers, my "make-up" table, my three other tables and my shelves... They're all squeaky clean now! Yay me!

Then I stopped at 0600pm to cook dinner for Andrew and me. Eat, eat, eat... Then more cleaning done by me... It was the dishes this time since Andrew had to get himself ready for something that he had to do. Then he left to do that something that he had to do. Then I went on to clean the toilet and part of the kitchen... Got rid of all the black grime from the window and the areas near the window... And I only did part of the kitchen cos I was too tired from all the cleaning by then. So, I headed for a nice warm shower at bout 0830pm... Aaah... XD

The only thing left to do now is to vacuum my room - as well as Andrew's if I feel like it! And finish the other half of the kitchen... And perhaps, try to look for something that can actually get my heater really clean cos nothing seems to work! =( But all these, I've leave for tomorrow...

And now, I'm just ranting on my boring day on this blog after watching two episodes of 'House'.

And tomorrow's a whole new cleaning day for me. Wohoo?! Oh, and I've really got to get on to reading 'Heart of Darkness' again. Has anyone read it yet? If yes, can you please tell me exactly what it's about? And any ideas on its themes of race and anti-colonialism, etc? Cos I didn't get it at all the first time I read it. It's such a difficult text to read! =(

I guess that's it for today. Gonna get back to watching another episode of 'House' now before I hit the sacks... So, good night! Bon nuit!

p/s: Mom and Dad... See I'm not that lazy after all... I do do house chores (when I feel like it) And I go crazy with it once I've started... XD
