I live in Pillar Box...it's part of the Uni's postgrad accommodation and it is rite in the city... it is so in the city that the moment i open the hall door and walk 5 steps...i have Starbucks, Topshop & Marks n Spencers, among others, in front of me....that's how in the city i am....
So we have been warned that today the Hall Officer will conduct inspection to check for any damages/default as I am to move out by 6th Sept...i got the shock of my life when i saw 3 guys & 2 ladies at my door-step to conduct the inspection....so they searched my room and the 1st comment everybody said wuz that my room is the cleanest for the whole accommodation!!! Imagine dat.....all 5 of them agreed on it!!!
The guys seem to think that i dont cook but i told them that i made breakfast this morning.... according to them my kitchen is spot-less...man i am so damn proud to hear this....they ended the 3 minute tour by saying that they will come back at the end of the day with those people who have dirty & badly maintained room....
The thing is i am not normally a tidy person...i'm clean but i can be messy at times....at home i hardly do any house-work coz i have my mom n d maid to clean my room & do my laundry... i dont even do my own bed or wash my plates....Yes, i'm not into house cleaning in my own house...
But i notice that i have this pattern that goes on when i am on my own or when people around me are messy...it happened when i was doing my undergrad...rented a 3 bedroom apartment wer i took the master bedroom that came with an attached bath...i was there for almost 4 years and i cant remember any of my housemates using my bath or even like really chill in my bed room...according to them it's too tidy and it feels like they are in an office rather than in a bedroom...no one sits on my bed as it is only to be slept on at nite time and they wont use my bath as i will alwiz dry it after each shower coz i dont like using a wet bath... Yes, i am a freak when i am on my own...
but sumhow or rather my bed in ampang is always messy...& the bath is always wet especally during weekends & i hv no qualms bout it...it makes me feel like normal human...messy bed & wet bath...but i make sure that my clothes are ironed & arranged via colour co-ordination in the wardrobes and i wonder what's wit d split personality?
Even my friends in Coventry commented the same...my room is very neat and even when i complain that my room is messy it is never messy according to them...& they were certainly not surprised with the remarks made by the Hall Officers....
i still maintain the same routine...after every shower...mop the floor so dat it doesnt end up wet the whole day...make ur bed d moment u wake up n try not to lay on it until its bedtime....wash every dishes after u used them and not to stack everythg in the sink...clean the hob, hud & microwave each time after using it with stain remover... coz if u dont it will stained and will be hard to remove....vacuum the room every now & then...do laundry every 10 days & fold everythg d moment u finished drying them - place them in d cupboard soon after folding them...throw ur wet rubbish everyday & the dry rubbish every week....becoz of this regime, my room is always neat & clean...most of the time...one thing that i do not do is ironing...& i am not ashamed to wear wrinkle clothes coz i am not perfect...
The guys also noticed that most of the stuffs in my fridge is stored neatly in separate containers & made a remark on it...it's too clean even for a girl...well sir i may come from a developing country but i am more developed & cultured than u may ever realize....
Hooray for me!!!!
P/S: Does this mean that i can attempt to seek partial refund for my rent? hehehehehe...
