Change of habits
it seems that since coming here, i've discovered habits that i never knew existed in me. either that, or i've picked up new practices which i did not seem to posses in sg. a good eg would be making the bed. even my mum knows it - 'why bother making the bed when your gonna sleep again!' i used to tell her in sg. and so, its always a heap of blankets and pillows tossed around (if not for my kind maid who does my bed).
but here, noo. my bed has to be immaculate and crease free. okay well almost. i've been videojugging the most random videos ever. from how to line dry your laundry, to how to put on a duvet cover to how to make your bed! (just this morning.) and so i realised why the hostel gave me 2 bedsheets. one is a fitted sheet meant to put over your mattress protector. it usually has an elastic band. and the next layer that goes on top is your flat sheet meant to tuck in neatly. and another layer would be your blanket/duvet cover. so i spent a good 20mins trying to master the 'hospital corner' method of tucking in the bedsheets. doesnt seem as easy as it looks! i was struggling so badly with a single-sized bed, imagine doing a king sized.
and i hate it when people just barge into my room and flop themselves onto the bed. okay this really sounds ironic cause im no. 1 at doing it at my friends homes. haha everyone knows that. but now that i know how it feels to be on the receiving end, i shall be more cautious *ahem* i can imagine both derns, crys and x going, 'suree not!' i mean girls flopping down im fine with it. but guys? and the worst thing was what one my friends said after lying down for a good 20mins, 'okay its time for me to bathe'. i mean...@#$% hello! i just WASHED the bedsheets.
okay besides bed making, i'm anal about how my clothes are being washed . i downloaded a pdf guide to laundry symbols and memorised what does each symbol represnt. i hate it when my clothes shrink when being placed in the dryer so most of the time i resort to either doing my own laundry or using the washing machine and sun drying it after that (and it smells so good).
and ironing of clothes! i can't stand to see creases. i mean not minor creases but those which scream i just got out of bed. because i only brought over a mini travel iron, its not really good but it still helps a bit. this is a bit weird. like im morphing into someone with OCD.
but honestly when i head back to sg, i doubt i'd be as particular. haha! (at least for the bed, for laundry i still am). i don't know why. queer isnt it. buts its a change for good! i wanna be a good house keeper :D next i shall master the art of cleaning! muahaha. here comes JIF.
