it's that time of the year again.
the one where i try to break my old record.
for those who have been my readers since the dinosaurs' time, you'll remember my last record. 17 people in my condo of three rooms.
this year, i'm trying again, to fit more people into this small place, until the walls are cracking, the floors breaking and the neighbours complaining. this time, i'm trying to squeeze 20 people into the house and not quiting until somebody goes raving mad! or at least until someone starts screaming, laughing and crying, most probably me.
milo is most wary that the experience will transform me into the wild werewolf, devouring him the moment he steps back from work, plucking his hair out one by one for added torment. i'll prefer to concentrate on pretending to be deaf. i'll definitely need that, with nine hyperactive kids under the same roof. i'm trying a new approach. lock all the doors to the balconies, remove all dangerous things....and just let them fight it out. whoever survives get to have dinner. survival of the strongest!! yehhhh! reality tv in the making - survivor, episode 15. and i'm talking about the adults.
there are five families......but three official rooms. fil and mil get priority. i'm not giving up my room!! that means there is one room left for three families to fight over. this stuff is more interesting than survivor!! anybody knows the number for cbs? i can sell the shooting rights to them! i'm figuring that i can put one baby in the bath-tub. it's comfy, it's spacy...for a baby. it's safe too! the balcony's spacious too.....i'll have to check who doesn't walk, or rather climb over railings, in their sleep. where else? comeon, think! the shoe cabinet can squeeze in one. ok, ok, i'm a pushover. i'll give up my walk-in closet. someone can sleep in comfort in there, together with all my clothes, handbags and whatever's hiding in the corner. you think my maid will let one of them room with her? nahhhhhhh, better keep it a secret from her. she may just hand in her resignation and flee the scene before the troupe arrives. *shivering at the thought*
did i mention that it was for 2 weeks? 14 days? 336 hours? 20,160 minutes? 1,209,600 seconds? long? noooooooooo way!

who ask you not to buy big house but choose to stay condo? :P
Put tent in the living room. Babies in the oven. Mattress on the dining table. Replace normal beds with bunk beds. Put some beds in the corridors outside after midnight. Find out which neighbor is a way and takeover their condo.
Hmm... on the other hand, why not save yourself the pain and book them a cheap hotel? MWA HA HA HA
*Vwooossshhh.... *
Dust settles where Jonzz once stood.
dear monty: used to stay in a 7-rooms house. very eerie when in-laws weren't visiting. NOT the solution for overloading visitors who come once a year.
dear jonzz: *jotting notes quickly* uh huh. good idea! i can do that...and that....hmmm...that's not bad too. cheap hotel's not too bright....dunno if i'll still have a home to come back to or they would have burnt it down!! *takes out vacuum to clean dusts* sheesh! he visits and leaves so much work for me to clean up after!
Get the guys to help out. Monty can clean the toilets. Jonzz can cook. LOL.
OMG...i dunno how u can put up with that for 2 weeks. u have more patient than me & certainly more than terese!
dear pooh: yes, they can....and then they'll charge me a bundle for it, knowing those boys!
dear wuching: when i am admitted to the mad clinic, you come visit me, ok?
It's OK, bear with it. After all, everyone else will be having a ball except you, so do it for the sake of the happiness of others.
Who knows, some rich relative might just appreciate your sacrifice & include you in his will this time. Now, wouldn't THAT be totally worth just 2wks' of minor inconvenience??
I feel like a mediator today.
PS. I also know a good psychiatrist.
2 is a company... 3 is a crowd... 17 was a test... 20 is the ultimate challenge!! hahaha... and for 2 weeks eh... good luck.
dear e: i've already checked. none of them is rich. does that mean i can give them the boot? hahahahaaha! just kidding, they're family, after all.
*taking a deep breath and counting down to the hours they troupe arrives*
dear zewt: don't laugh. you are in charge of keeping my sanity!!
Why they so koo hon don't go and stay in a hotel?
dear cocka: not ku hon lah, just like the warmth of pek pek mai mai and being so closeeeeee. i know you understand how that feels, with so many piao meisssss. hahaha.
