room status: packed.
12.14 am
i finally packed my room!!
today, to the surprise of myself, (and every other living organism living in my room like insects and bugs) i decided to clear my stuff for the first time in 4 years.
yes, part of it was due to the fact that i wanted to get rid of everything related to my treacherous 4 years in high school. THE GREAT DEPRESSION (2002-2006). the other part was having to share my room with daddy-long-legs and bugs and dead moths and whathaveyou.
so i packed. and packed. and packed. for abt 9 hours. PACKED only lor.
in the end i dumped:
1. 3 full bags of rubbish filled to the brim with rubbish
2. 2 plastic bags worth of metal and plastics to be recycled
3. 4 30cm tall stacks of worksheets (both done and undone)
4. 1 50 cm tall pile of workbooks, textbooks and notebooks.
5. 4 stacks of 30 cm high stacks of storybooks (english and chinese)
i wanted to take a pic of it, but my mom messed it up and threw it all away before i was done. :(
and even more SHOCKEDEDING was the fact that i mopped my room floor for the forst time in abt 7 years. i dun usually mop the floor, i just sweep or vacuum it. too lazy lar. but today, out of sheer boredom, i mopped it, ensuring a mass migration for most tenants (bugs) of my room.
now let me replay the process of me mopping my floor, since i find it most peculiar.
mopping my floor: R(A)
1. dumped rag in pail and filled pail with water.
2. water turned green even before i started mopping.
3. emptied water, washed pail, THEN refilled pail with water.
4. this time, water stayed colourless and odourless
5. mopped a 30cm square patch of my floor.
6. rinsed mop.
7. water turned greyish black, with a hint of some dead cockroaches and lots of dustballs floating in constinuos random motion.
8. emptied and refilled pail again.
7. gung ho and just finish moping my floor.
8. rinsed blackish brown cloth in water.
9. water turned dead-indian black, effervescence observed, grey insoluble precipitate observed, pungent gas liberated.
10. i gave up.
then, since my room wasn't totally clean, i tried my hand at vacuuming. wasn't a total failure, at least i got some of the dust off. problem was, the vacuum cleaner was freaking noisy, i live in a freaking quiet estate, it was already late in the night, and i probably woke up half the estate. i confirm wun get christmas presents from them this year.
so now. my room is clean. and emptied of all knowledge. if there were any in the first place. and my mum's damn pissed with me cuz i swept all the dust out to the landing and she had to sweep the landing again.
because cider is the elixir of life
