相邻的桌椅

woke up early to go for operation homeworks!

which was quite fun, because my team got a really clean house with a nice old woman. we spent a long time cleaning even though the house appeared clean. the real dust/dirt/grime was at the top, on the pipes and lights.

painting of the door wasn't that difficult with the paint roller. but i had a little paint in my hair which had to be removed using turpentine! i also accidentally stepped onto the paint tray and caused it to flip all the paint onto my foot.

seibu didn't believe me that windows had to be cleaned with newspapers until beejuan made them squeaky clean using newspapers. seibu thought maids used newspapers only because they ran out of rags, or they had nothing else to do with the newspapers.

we even got a free broom, mop and bucket from the nice old woman. shall use it for the classroom.

haha weiyang's team got a house with bed bugs, and aminah wasted no time in passing the eggs to us the moment she saw us. we finished our house earlier, and so we went over to theirs. some of them went in, but i didn't dare. in the end, clara kept hugging jia en to pass her the bed bug eggs.

oh mr tham dropped by, and some of us tried to pass some eggs to him too. there was a very docile cat which we took a group photo with.

we went to bugis junction for dinner at swensen's. it was so unglam to carry the mop and broom in a shopping centre! we were also spreading bed bug eggs around as we walked. i just felt like they were clinging on me forever.

i don't understand the obsession with cleaning nowadays.

we were walking through the basement of bugis junction and it was really crowded. the last time i was there, it was night, when the shops were all closed already. i was going home after playing in the rise december 2005 concert. the one in which shanghui played mendelssohn.

once a bird flew into my house. mummy tried to let it fly out but it didn't want to. instead, it simply lay in mummy's palm and bit her finger.
