Chinese New Year Coming Soon

Aiyoh... how time flies! It's Chinese New Year in less than two weeks and I am relieved of a few thousand bucks for my mom to take care of the household bills AND do her Chinese New Year shopping.

My friend asked me if I have already done my Chinese New Year cleaning. Well, I have not and I really don't have the time to do them. My mom could get a hired help with the money I gave her and they should not expect me to be the maid and support the family financially, right?

This friend, whom I have known for a long time, doesn’t believe it when I told him that I have 7 fans, 13 window panes and two bathrooms to clean, on top of four bedrooms and the other parts of the house like living room, family room, dining room and kitchen. And let’s not forget the garden.

Well, he has not been to my house before but one day, I am going to invite him over before CNY so that he can help me with the job. Last time, when my sister was around, all household chores don’t seem that much because there were two pairs of hands but now that I am the only one going to dirty my hands over cleaning and scrubbing, it is taking a toll on me. I am so going to let things be from this Chinese New Year onwards.
