Man...

I WISH these Sikh neighbours of mine would just STOP cleaning their house from top to bottom each DAY...its really getting to me...the smell of clean wafting through my open sliding doors and windows... the clothes detergent, the softener, the mopping liquid, the everything...the carpet whacking, the vacuuming, the non-stop washing of front yard and balconies, the constant scrubbing of clothes ala village-style...thump, thump, thump...(what's the washing machine for anyway!) day and night..hey, I ve got last three days laundry still in there somewhere, I can see dust bunnies scurrying around, my books I have to blow off first before reading...and I'm starting to feel really...dirty and dusty and, and...and...and...oh please God!

Just make them STOP!!!!

There's a whole battalion of them in there...and its just ME against 5 of them women...gahhhh!!!!

And they NEVER eat out either...ever. And their house is a page out of Beautiful Homes and Living magazine...ultraperfect according to this mutual friend (no more) who popped over once after having tea at their place...making me feel like a slumlord.

And, and, and...someone should put them on TV.

Nah.

They'd be too boring.

Hahahah! This was so funny!Usually, people complain about living next to pigs!

I'm not a cleanaholic either. Mop when I feel like it. Cuci baju when I have to - like because the laundry basket is so full, things are spilling out lah!

My kids didn't die of a serious disease. Husband is ok. So, it must be ok, right?

Just do what you want when the spirit moves u, bebe!

I enjoy 'Perfect Housewife' on Astro's 733. I just love watching her do it all so correctly. Do I follow any of it? Yah right! Hahahahaha.

I couldn't agree with you more! She, like your neighbours, need to get a life!!!

hehe...well pat...I think they're pretty happy but I'm pissed coz I feel like "er...should I be doing all that too?" I had this cleaning lady come once a week...dunno where she ran off to. These Indonesian cleaners are so "ikut suka hati" kinda beings...when she suka, she comes...when she don't suka, she doesnt turn up for a month or so...

Hahaha...I know what you mean. I dread taking my kids to those relatives with super clean house... Risau je if they spill anything, or drop food crumbs everywhere...

At home, we have treasures under the sofa cushions! Whenever I clean underneath (which is like once in a blue moon), my children will be very excited to see what they can find...coins, lost toys, pencil colors, pacifier...hehhe...
