Cleanliness 101

Nothing interesting to tell, so i mengomel kosong je lah ye?

I made mushroom quiche to be brought to the office today. I like baking. I like feeding people with stuff that i have baked. Sapakah lagi yang akan mengappreciatenya kalau tak orang2 kat ofis ni yg suka makan? But of course i buat utk orang2 kat rumah dulu...Baby X semalam kata suka and makan sampai 3 ketul..hari ni dah kata tak suka pulak. Little D makan satu utk jaga hati i. MG cakap mmm sedap tapi takde pulak dia berebut2 mintak second helpings pulak? So bila i buat utk ofis pagi ni, dia kata, ni nak impress kawan2lah tu...sheesshhh! He just doesn't get it that someone yg suka baking cam i, the pleasure of seeing other people devouring what you have cooked with gusto as opposed to orang bila kita tanya, sedap tak? Sedaaaapppp...bunyi macam tak ikhlas and pastu terpeleot cam kononnya kita buat utk orang laiiiiin je and bukan utk dia (complicated kan??). 

I secretly aspire to be a part time baker...suka kalau ada orang tempah suh kita bake something. MG cakap i ni baking ala2 'seasonal' je...ye lah...satu ketika dulu i baked cuppies left, right and centre. siap dgn icing lagi. Paksa dia bawak gi office..the operative word is paksa. I then had to eat most what i have baked because pakcik bagi banyak alasan kalau suh bawak...piled on 5kgs. So I had to stop baking. (ingatkan tadi nak meluahkan perasaan thru blogging tapi bila kenang balik rasa geraaammm sangat ni). Esah kononnya nak jadi supportive ...but she only eats oxygen and drink diet coke..OK la, the occasional kipap...i think during her thyroid surgery, something must have happened to her...dia dah tak kuat melantak (bring back the old Esah yg boleh tambah nasik lapan kali!). Yes..i love baking ...kalau ada sesapa cakap kat i, tingiiiiiiiinnn nak makan bingka labu for e.g....kalau tak esok, lusa i bawak. The excitement starts from looking for the perfect recipe on the internet, reading the reviews, going to the supermarket looking for the ingredients and making it. I must love baking as much as i love napping in the afternoon.

Tadi i jadi toliet monitor. I keluarkan notice etika penggunaan tandas. Mentality orang Mesia. Bila kata masih tahap dunia ke3, marah..but toilet etiquette? Last week i poo poo kat public toilet kat this shopping complex. Nak basuh tangan kat sink tengok dgn rambut and plaster di buang dlm sink. This group of young girls asyik dok kirai2 rambut depan cermin and sibuk berselfie. Hampa punya rambut la kan????!!! Tisu basah biar je tepi sink padahal the bin is only 2 feet away. Back to toilet kat ofis ni, orang basuh bekas makanan and sink tersumbat because of the sisa pepejal. Aku la yg dok curah garbage enzyme down the sinkhole to unblock it. Sampai nak habis la supply G.E i!

Sometimes i terfikir, manalah depa letak otak depa ni? Dia ingat the sisa2 nasi tu would just disappear down the drain pipe kut. This reminds me when i had to share a house with some juniors. Lepas breakfast pagi2 depa just tinggal breadcrumbs on the table and sekitar toaster. Did they expect the crumbs would just disappear into thin air given time? When i asked them to clean after themselves, depa dok kuis crumbs tu ke atas lantai. Bila sink tersumbat, depa kept on gunakan the sink. Otak letak kat lutut pastinya. Masa i masters pulak, i pulak joined these group of junior medical students. A house without any duty roster, boleh? Kalau ada sorang yg memnag rajin and volunteer to clean the house, tak pe jugak. Ni? Hareeemmmmm! The grime in the bathtub??? Ya ampunnn! When i cleaned it a few days after i came in, i overheard their sembang2..depa cam amazed bathtub berkilat and air laju and tak bertakung dalam bathtub. Future doctors (then) ye tuan puan. Kalau dapat hosmet yg rajin (adalah sekali dua), waaah...best, amannn je perasaan. Kalau dapat yg kerojenya asyik ngulit boipren je..rasa cam nak cekik2 dua2nya sekali.

Sib baiklah laki i bukan jenis yang meninggalkan 'ular sawa berlingkar' or 'pretzels' atas lantai. Or buat dapur kat ruang tamu...Life's little blessings gitu..
