The story of two housewives..

Today is Wednesday, equally hot as yesterday. The sky is very very bare. Naked sky, no clouds, not even a bird flying over. The sky is like a huge blue carpet spreading over the entire piece of dessert island. SO HOT LA..

I finished class at 11am and walked back to house. Took a bus though, cuz it's just too hot, me and Jac couldn't stand the heat of noon sun. A 10minutes exposure to this UV rays is more than enof to harm our skin, and barbecue us, hahaha... SO we hop onto bus 34, which was like 2minutes ride only.. haha.. hmmm, it's alright, it's summer, it's hot.. summer's gonna end soon, so it's alright to take a funny 2minutes bus ride.. right...! (cuz if we're walking, it'll take us 15 to 18 minutes to reach home, i'm good with walking during other 3 seasons, i dont mind at all, but it's summer, i dun wan all the hot-ness, like 37degree Celsius!!!)

People take on another different role when they are at home. As for me and Jac, we became housewives..!!! Once i reached home, i collected black shirts and pants from Jac and Janica, to be put into washing machine, hehehe, no more hand wash unlike last year.. wash the jeans like mad... hahaha... there is still stuff that we gotta hand-wash them la, just that huge things like bedsheets, jeans, etc, all those can be machine-washed ady, hahaha..

After cooking and eating lunch, we were set to clean the kitchen. For the past THREE days, there was this "Eeeww" stench lingering in the atmosphere of our kitchen, we sniffed here and there but couldn't figure out where was this stench coming from. We sniffed the drawers, fridge, bins, food racks, flower pot, sink, everywhere...!!!! Even the microwave and oven. Very funny, the stench seemed not to originate from any of those. Sigh...
I thought it was coming from the rotting grapes that one of my housemates threw yesterday morning, but that didnt make sense. Jac packed and removed the rubbish to the big rubbish bin outside the house, and i washed the cap of the bin. Hmmm, but then...

Cheah : Did you smell that..???
Jac: Ya... i smell it....
Cheah : Haih , dunno where does it comes from la, we've already clean the bin what...
Jac : ya...

What smell was that? Jac came out with this concept, it was a mixture of rotting nose pick with fart... APALAH.......... MANA MUNGKIN.... i knew it was the smell of something that rot over the days..!!

Next, we cleaned the stove and the sink. Jac introduced me to a traditional method of cleaning sink, that's by mixing Sodium Bicarbonate Na2CO3, with house vinegar.. heehee.. a combination of this both released CO2, hahahahahahaaa... anyways, it didnt work very well with cleaning the stubborn stain of the stove.. BUT it work really really amazing with the sink. The sink was so so so apparently SHINY-ier, blink blink that kind, squeaky clean...!!!!! GREAT, we both feel happy...!! Then, there was this soaking kitchen cloths in hot water and detergent just to kill germs and stuff.. Jac squad down to pull out a plastic from the drawer, then she murmured...

Jac : I smell it again......
Cheah : hmmm.... i know.. i smell it too.. how come...??
Jac : (sniff sniff, still squatting down) I KNOW ADY....!!!! IT"S FROM THE CLOTH....!!! (pointing to the green piece of cloth on the floor right in front of her)
Cheah : OOhhh....!!!
Jac : (sniff sniff again to double-confirm ) CORRECT, it's this thing....!!!!

Ah, finally...!!!! it's the piece of cloth on the floor that we put last week, to wipe the liquids on kitchen floor. Normal kitchen floor cloth wouldn't smell so badly, but maybe it was bcuz of last Saturday , Jac and YanHua used the kitchen to prepare foods for the Zion Food Fest. And water from fishball plastics bags dripped all over the place, and they used the cloth to wipe them out. You know, the water isnt clean water, it's the "hanyir" kinda smell.. so over the days, the "hanyir" water worsen, bacteria grow, and release methane ( or other sickenning odour la) .. THUS, comes the stench that i mentioned earlier on... HAIYO...

see, that stench caused me and Jac to wash the whole kitchen (it's a GOOD thing though =>)... just to find out it was from a piece of cloths on the floor and not from the stuff that we've cleaned... AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHA.........................................
so, we packed the "Eeeww" thing into a plastic bag and throw it outside, wanna get rid of it forever... hahahahaha...

Cheah : Haiyo, think we very free izit, we are very busy cuz husbands coming back for dinner soon..
Jac : ( silence... then ) BUAHAHAHAHAHHA... ya ya, husband coming back for lunch soon...!!
Cheah : ( thinking for a moment ) alright , i think my husband is outstation, he wont be around for sometime, but still.. i gotta pick up my kids from the school.... isk, so busy.. and here we are, washing the kitchen after lunch...???
Jac : MUAHAHAHAHHAAH....we are housewives... hahaha...!!
Cheah : hahahahahahahahaha............!!!

pretending to be real busy housewives la, hahahah..

I then make my way to collect cloths from washing machine to be dried outside... Jac went back to her room..


**** THE END ****
