Almost There

Mr Liow has been doing the unpacking. This picture was taken last week after curtain was finally up.

Previously before we took over the house, it was neat (empty) and classy. Very much like a showflat (like no one lives in it).

But housekeeping was not up to par (disgusting, in fact... BLACK toilets and basins like they've never been washed, slimy sink lined with dried food pieces glued all over inside, wasp nests in curtains, mamee and twisties inside wardrobe wrapped up in furry dustballs.

Like what Mr Liow used to comment on girls when we were teenagers "Pretty from far, but far from pretty".

Apt description for what we took over.

Now, the classy-ness is compromised. As we can see, we moved our mess into this house. Haha!

There is absolutely NO WAY we can keep the house neat and tidy.

The kids help in their own ways. ER surprised me by putting a toy back in its box and brought it back to study room without being asked to. My darling! AN keeps her stuff too. But somehow neatness is always a challenge.

It should gradually improve once boxes are dumped and more stuff gotten rid of.

At least the house is now clean enough to live in. We love it here.

Could have been better. I'll wait.
