You Spin Me Right Round ...

First and foremost, I am so happy for Adrian and Collin (Team Singapore) for winning the Amazing Race Asia 2! It pays to learn your flags people :) Kudos must go to the two lovely sisters, Pamela and Vanessa for clinching 2nd spot and leaving behind Rovilson and Mark in 3rd place. Gosh, what a race! I'm overjoyed! LOL

OK, now back to the topic at hand...

I'd like to thank whomever it was that invented a washing machine because I don't know what I'd do without it. The amount of clothes I have to wash at home would take forever if I had to do them manually, not forgetting that my arms would eventually look like Popeye, the Sailor Man... hehehe.

No matter how many times I wash the clothes at home, they somehow have a way of piling up again in no time. The boys goes through more changes of clothes in a day than a model does during a catwalk show. I don't know how they can go through so many clothes in one day that I can do a round of laundry in the morning and by evening the laundry basket is full again. I swear if you leave the pieces of clothes together in a laundry basket for a few hours they'll repopulate!

Now you can understand why I adore a washing machine... hehehe. Thank god I have a nice decent one over here unlike the one I have back home. Now that washing machine has a life of its own. Those days when I do my laundry, there is never a day that goes by that I don't scream and cuss at that useless piece of junk.

It's really an old machine and goes way back to my mom's days. I'd have to adjust the bloody drum inside at least 5-6 times before it can can spin. Somehow, the location the machine is placed on a not-so-flat surface and it tends to give the machine a lopsided feel to it making the drum dislodge itself a little from the centre of the machine. Too technical here but I think you get what I mean :)

I dreaded doing the laundry then cos I know I'd have to fight and grumble at that machine before it can even start. There are days when I'm in such a foul mood I'd even give it a swift kick! Not that it did much good except hurt my own feet... hehehe. But I'm grateful that it would eventually work just fine. Like I said, I don't fancy doing the laundry by hand. Not in this day and age. I'd seem like a little old fashioned village girl who have to take her clothes by the river to wash it... LOL!

Maybe the next time I go back home for the holidays or something, I'd get the home a new one. It'll make more sense than stressing myself out fighting with that machine just to get it running. Like as if doing the laundry isn't already stressful enough. Ok, that's all from me for now cos I just noticed the laundry basket has repopulated itself again and it's time to do the laundry again. Siggghhhhhh...
