Now that mum's away for the week ("Everybody needs a little time away..."), the bare household duties falls unto us as dad doesn't bother nor does he know how to go about it, since mum never enlightened him about where things are kept and such.
Wii're not going to bother much with the sweeping and mopping (if Wii ever get to it) since Wii can count on mum doing so once she gets home regardless of whether Wii have been doing it every alternate day or just the day before she comes home. Plus we've been all eating out so there's little mess.
However, clothes are a problem. Whatwith us going to the gym on average 3 times a week for our regular cardio classes Wii'll have sweaty clothes hanging out to dry, and after that require washing before it piles up over the week. Here lies the problem: mum's got a new washing machine.
Wii would be able to figure it out save for the fact that Wii don't know where she hid the frickin' manual. Given mum's household orderliness (friends can testify her standards when she stated our room was 'messy' and then they had a look) Wii'd expect the manual to be in a particular drawer. Some scrounging dug up the old clipboard to hold the Lesen Televisyen Dan Radio from the 80s, Nokia 5110 and 3310 user manuals and other kitchen accesory manuals...washing machine manual! For the old washing machine! No!!!
Okay. No need to panic. Wii've used washing machines before (gone are the days when all Wii did was insert 20p). This shouldn't be any different. The amount of clothings Wii're gonna wash, not much, half-load cukup. Should be able to figure out what to do. Okay, fill up the soap powder and softener first...
Aiyoh. Can't they just write the word 'softener' rather than draw symbol? Soapsud symbol can also mean soap powder right? Hantam lah. Right compartment, a 'I' symbol. Middle the soapsud symbol. Left compartment a 'II' symbol. If not wrong it's first wash, softener, second wash? Don't care already lah, it's almost 1am. Yes, Wii do laundry in the middle of the night rather than the bleak hot hours of the morning before work. Dump powder in 'I' and softener in the middle. Will check when the thing starts.
New washing machine is full of buttons. But at least it's written out what is what rather than the conventional washing machine symbols (no, soapsud one wasn't conventional). Oh well, let's put it at something that looks all right...
Time left: 3 hours. Oh goodness the old washing machine at least was only 2 hours...Wii know, Wii're doing something wrong in the first place for half-load to take 2-3 hours but Wii don't care already once it's in and it's started...
And instead of napping while the thing runs Wii're blogging about dinner. And replying on forums.
4am. Finally done. And as Wii get the clothes out, Wii notices the 'Quick 30' option on the dial. *Closes eyes, deep breathes* Wii don't know what the Quick 30 is anyway, best just leave it till next time...
And now that it's done, WHY ARE WII STILL HERE BLOGGING!?
