1. Vacuumed the house
2. Wiped the furniture in my room
3. Vacuumed and wiped my room walls (Yes, you didn't read wrongly. I have a very anal mom. She's into cleanliness.)
4. Folded a mountain-load of clothes
5. Scrubbed the windows (with my sis. We died doing that)
6. Hung the curtains
7. Changed the bedsheets
8. Chopped vegetables for mom
It was exhausting, but we ended everything by 6pm. So this was how my house looked like at the end of the cleaning. I was very pleased with the results. Please be remembered that I'm pretty anal when it comes to cleanliness and tidiness too..:)
My room....:) I pushed my bed aside single handedly and vacuumed and scrubbed behind the bed. I'm strong. Ha!

My living room. This year, we have nice curtains and the red flowers which my mom bought from Geylang gives a nice contrast.

Hari Raya itself was spent beautifying ourselves. I had a great time wearing my new baju, putting on make up, taking heaps of pictures. So here are the pictures. You can now check out my gorgeous black and pink lace lined with champagne silk.
I like my hair here. I thought I was going to have crap hair for Hari Raya cos I didn't bother going to the hairdressers to do my hair. So I twisted my hair from 9 am till about time for us to leave the house (about 12) and lo behold, my curls were so defined. People thought I permed it. Ha! In Maya's words, babe hair... Hahahaha...

Then as we waited for my elder sis and her family to come to my place, my sis and I cam whored as always.

We forced my mom to take a picture too...

My elder sis and family came at about 1230 and of course, more pictures taken. My niece and nephew, the cutie pies.

My younger sis, my elder sis and me...

A family picture. :) I love my family. And my hair. Hahahahaha....

Unfortunately, the day had to be spoiled by Dev's departure to Melbourne. I couldn't visit my aunties in Woodlands and Bedok cos Dev had to be at the airport by 430pm. So after visiting the first house, I left for Dev's place to send him to the airport. I was suprisingly composed and only cried a little..:) And I'm actually pretty alright now. I thought I was going to be a mess when he leaves. But I'm ok. :)
I'll be going to visit him end of Jan, so that gives me about 3 and a half mths before I see him. I'll survive. Looking forward to spending some time alone, even though I'll miss him.
In the meantime, enjoy the 2nd day of Raya people! :)
