I don't know when this 'sickness' started cos I used to be a lazy bum when it comes to cleaning the place. My sisters even gave me a 'title' back home. I was given the honor of being the 'menteri kebersihan' (minister of cleanliness) coz I was always sweeping and cleaning the house whenever they came over. My sisters are all married and live on their own. I would just smile and carry on with the cleaning.
Now, my kids have learned not to mess up their room cos they would definitely get an earful if they didn't. Once in a while (OK maybe twice or thrice) they'd purposely forget to clean up especially on weekends. Of course it would be nice to have a maid who cooks and cleans but do you know how ridiculously expensive it is to hire one?? I'd be a bankrupt if I did but I don't think I could get used to having a maid. My family never had one and I don't intend to get one. It's weird having a total stranger in the house.
I'd settle for a Dirt Devil anytime! :) With the increase in electricity tariff, I could use one, especially an Energy Star approved machine which means it uses 70% less energy. And that's a lot of savings! On top of that, it's cordless even. I won't get entangled with the messy cables when I'm vacuuming and I can even vacuum in hard-to-reach places. Now if that isn't cool, I don't know what is :D
LOL Nessa, they actually gave you a title of Minister of Cleanliness? God, you are a cleanliness freak :D
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't think I should be laughing too much cos I think I can fight with you for that position of Minister of Cleanliness too. I can't stand a dirty place for too long la. I'd definitely go and clean it up.
Wow, both you and MD should be having those "superhero" uniforms and clean up! You can start with my room..
ReplyDeletewith these 2 rascals around, everything is topsy turvy. It'll only be clean for 1 minute. Allie is starting to crawl around and walk in her walker and SOOOOO "amai" her tangaaaan!! LOL!
Hihi... Menteri Kebersihan... Funny oh sya dingar, tapi sakit mata betul tu nampak kalo sana sini tu barang2 kan. :) Ngam la title ko tu. :D
