Its been almost 2 weeks since my maid went home and i've been doing HOUSEWORK. Yup u heard right- me slogging it out battling dark dusty icKy corners, doing the laundry (hanDwashing okay.!), washing the dishes, mopping, sweeping, scrUbbing, ironing... the list goes on. Man it takes alot to upkeep a house. I never knew. BUt hey, at 19 yrs old, its never too late to learn! *gags*grins*giggles*

And lest one takes me for one of those silly vapid things who cannot do anything useful to save her life, i would have u know that i've been dilligent in my duties okay! Furthermore, i'm the only one who isn't working or schooling i'm tasked with most of the work, but hey man, just wing it! Even the erstwhile hard-to-please mum has been happy with me and my chores :D

Haha my hands are rougher (isit psychological? but they do kinda feel rougher u know.. :P) from all that washing and exposure to mama lemon and floor cleaner. (i lOve my floor cleaner cuz its BIODEGRADABLE! so good for the environment.=)

And oh god its getting to me, just last weekend mum and me were at NTUC (pronounced: anne-tuck- geddit? geddit? ;) and we saw this scotch mop that aunt gloria had recommended, on offer, and we excitedly bought it and i tried it out the same day. Haha u guys should see me getting down and dirty wheeeeee. Priceless priceless moments i tell u ;)

Okay but u know, since it is still mE, here are some of the priceless moments in snippets:
*mopping the floor in my Ai Tong Pri School shorts [vintage, man!:Pp] and TA*DA- Kate Moss for Topshop nude/beige vest! (random comment:i love the pleats on that vest btw)
*Washing cups and little dishes in my LBD (LittleBlackDress) from Marciano -boughtoffebayhahaha- and my 3inch wedge-heels.
(random comment: i can only wear those highhh heels at home else i'll be the friggin Eiffel Tower dammit to hell and back. since i LOVE heels!)

And at the other end of the glam spectrum, here are more priceless moments:
*Me in baggy homeclothes jumping up & down & up & down & up & down manically on the poor assaulted mop, trying (quite successfully i must add;) to sQuish out the soap and water.
(random comment: i was sicK of wringing the mop for the hundredth time, so decided to jump on it)
*In rags with bedraggled hair falling all over my pale face as i scrub my lovely clothes not so lovingly like some washerwoman of old..
Hahaha abit dramatic hor. (god i LOVE singlish!;)

Anyways the bf is happy, since he thinks its good training for the future role as his missus. (hA. he takes alot for granted huh, but what's a girl to do when she's in love? ;) and sometimes i get msgs like: okay don't worry i'll wait, go iron more! Ha. he is sooo enjoying himself the impudent thing. But he's still mY impudent thing hee.
