Just Relax Don't Rush

Hi

Though the MCO has been relaxed I have not gone out yet for obvious reason, I am in that vulnerable category. If the C 19 happens to catch and cling on me my system may never be able to shake it off. This virus is so good at infecting, see all those spikes . . . 

I also don't have any other good reason. Swimming is still not allowed. Tennis, playing doubles is not encouraged. Anyway, it will be awkward to be distancing your partner and at times when excited you sure will yell and blow your breath droplets far . . .

It's better to stay back do some housekeeping or gardening or whatever . . .

This morning it rained so I could not go out to tend to my plants or tidy up the place. I usually like doing work outside than inside the house though there is much to do like vacuuming and putting things back in their respective place. I am actually not a very organized person . . .

I have got someone to come once a week to help me to do house cleaning but because of the restricted movement control, I could not get her service for many weeks already. Heh don't say I don't clean, I do but always get interrupted by sheer boredom or sometimes by that urge to play music on the keyboard that still holds my interest.

The Hari Raya is still many days more to come. I know it will be different this year, no real celebration, but still, as usual, we need to do a spring cleaning of the house. I have started with the back part of the house, the part which I tend to neglect. A lot of that black and white lizard droppings at the windowsill though I don't see many house lizards crawling around, wonder where they hide.

All this house cleaning reminds me of a time long ago, the time when I was a little girl living in the village. I still remember well when the celebration time was approaching we usually had many uninvited visitors. You know why? It was that rich clump of bamboo growing like a jungle in the front compound.  Many people came for those bamboos, some took even without our permission. 

Those days we didn't really give extra attention to housekeeping because maybe we had other priorities but for the once a year big day, it was a must that the house be given a spring cleaning. Those bamboos came in handy to sweep off all the cobwebs and get rid of devils and demons . . . 

Today, of course, we don't need bamboos as we have all types of cleaning aids and vacuums and all sorts of appliances making house cleaning simple and easy . . . yet . . .

Well. I have a lot more area to cover, just done the two rooms downstairs. Plan to continue doing upstairs but I think . . .  err . . .  will leave it for later. The rain just stopped . . . the air is so nice fresh and cool . . . I prefer to be out in the open . . .

Birds and monkeys too would appear after the rain

That's my entry today. Nothing much, just a little chat.  

Till next entry, take care.
