Weekend Part 1

Part 1 of my weekend was spent in KK. Started my Saturday earlier than usual, prepare daughter’s porridge, fried mihun for us adults, machine-wash & hang the clothes while hubby and daughter were still tucked under the blanket. Also planted the sunflower seed which I bought last month. All time, it has been lying on the kitchen cabinet, hopefully its still good. I love sunflower!
After energized by a plate of fried mihun & a cup of nescafe, I started my cleaning chores right away. This time it’s a major cleaning. Rolled the rug, swept and mopped the floors, get rid of the spider web at the corners before it spread and expand, cleaned the glass windows, changed and washed the cushion cover etc. Phewww…it sure was a tiring tasks but the end result it very satisfying. Well, the glass is not exactly sparkling clean, and the floor is not exactly dust-free but it’s cleaner than before. *wink * The BEST PART is I did it all by myself. *grin*
Before I was a mom, I normally do the cleaning on impulse, or in other words, ONLY when I’m in the mood. Don’t get me wrong ya; I’m not that unhygienic or lazy person…it just that I do the floor-mopping & windows-cleaning less often, twice a month only. Hehe… Well, what can I say, motherhood really changed me in some way. Now I do it every week. Can’t do it more often bcos I work full time.

Ok, enough said on the cleaning. The next day, we went to Wisma Merdeka. It's been a while since our last visit. Missed the Hainan Steamed Chicken Rice sooo very much. During my pregnancy, nearer to the end of 2nd trimester, I used to bring hubby there, like every weekend. Each time, I can finish 2 plates of rice…LOL. I was craving mad about the food. My weight before I deliver is 67kg…crazy man! Luckily, I managed to shed the extra kilos…now @ 50kg. Still, heavier than before pregnancy but I’m not complaining. I just need to shed a few more kilos lagi but... exercise/jogging is just not my thing. So, I guess diet is the only solution. By the way, cleaning the house is consider an exercise also mah right?! * grin *

Back on track, Wisma Merdeka was packed with people on Sunday, most of them shopping for their baju Raya. We went home after grabbing a few shorts. In the evening, we packed and went off to Keningau.

That's Part 1 of my weekend. See ya in Part 2.

Household Chores Hate List

Got this Tag from KadusMama.

Rules of the game :-

1. List down the household chores that you hate plus the reason you hated it.
2. Copy image provided & tag others as many as you wish
3. Add your blog link to the domesticated diva linky love
4. Leave a comment at Stripe and Yellow to be added to the master list and you're done

Well, these are the chores that made their way to my Hate List. Sure got plenty others, but these will do:-

[1] Removing oily stains ~ from the frying pan. Bcos it's so sticky and stubborn. Hated it since…the 1st day I learned how to fry. Sometime, hubby will do the cleaning if he’s around. * grin*

[2] Sweeping ~ got a sensitive nose, all the dust will make me sneeze for the whole day. Achooo!

[3] Cleaning dusty window/shelves ~ same reason as above. Plus, you’ll never get rid of it no matter how often you clean it. It’ll be back as soon as you start cleaning the next section.

[4] Washing clothes ~ those that can be machine-washed, not a problem. It’s those with the “Hand-Wash Only” label that I’m talking about. Always tried to avoid buying these type of clothes, but if no choice what to do lah.

[5] Mopping ~ Tiring work. Mop the floor, change the water in the pail = get water from the bathroom downstairs, carry it again upstairs. Repeat the whole process 3x. You say tired or not?

[6] Cooking ~ Don’t really hate cooking itself but it is “ WHAT TO COOK? “ that I hate. My talent in cooking is just fair enough, hubby is better at it. If I’m in a good mood, I’ll cook (simple recipe only). Otherwise, just cook rice only and tapau some dish from Kedai Makan Ah Chong. If hubby volunteer to be the chef, it’s even better. * grin*

[7] Folding the T-shirts ~ Imagine, you fold it nicely, put one on top of the other, suddenly somebody decided to wear the one at the bottom, grabbed it right away, leaving all the others on top crumpled. Have to fold them again. *Roll eyes *
