Rajin

Last month, my mum decided to renovate the rooms, after bearing with sandy and rough surfaced floor for over 2 years. I think, if it’s not because of my wedding is coming soon, we can’t be bothered with the flooring.

So, we have to move our stuff and put everything at the living room. The renovation took longer than we’d expected. The 1st contractor who’d done the flooring didn’t finish it up because he’s workers doesn’t want to work anymore. Mum had to hired different contractor to finish up the flooring. It took almost a month before we can move back to our rooms.

Well, when it was all done. I didn’t quickly move my stuff back in my room. Aku biarkan quarter in the living room. After 2 days, only my monitor left kat luar, yang lain dibawa masuk ke bilik aku secara magic**. Then, after 5 days, semua barang-barang aku sekali lagi dibawa masuk ke bilik aku secara magic**.

Lepas tu, walaupun barang-barang aku da dalam bilik. Aku tak buat apa2 pun. Aku letak semua baju2 kat atas katil, tinggalkan 1 portion utk aku tidur dan barang-barang yang selainnya, terbiar merata-rata.

Hari ini, lepas sebulan aku biarkan barang-barang aku merata, aku kemas 1 portion dari baju-baju aku & basuh beg aku. Aku kemas barang-barang tu sebab Kak Lun was lepaking in my room and I have no place to neither sit nor stand.

Kak Lun was watching me doing my stuff and suddenly she said, “Kau ni rajin la… da kemas-kemas baju kau, lepas tu kau boleh basuh pulak beg kau.”

Untuk pertama kalinya dalam hidup aku, kakak aku kata aku rajin. RAJIN. I repeat, RAJIN. I’m not sure whether it’s a compliment or sarcasm. But, I can feel sincerity in her voice. Heheh… it makes me love her more.

As you know, I’m not kind of person who likes to tidy up my place. And before, it took me almost 3 months to organize everything in my room. Whenever people said I’m in total mess, I’d brush it aside and defensively say I know where my stuff is and I called it “organized mess”**, but now, Kak Lun in on my side. She understands my “organized mess” concept!

Thanks Kak Lun for your understanding. For Jaja & Elly who was lucky enough to sleep over at my place, you may come again no matter how messy is my room because I’ll be extra RAJIN when you come over.

Magic** - when I purposely tak angkat barang masuk bilik aku, mak & maid will angkut everything masuk bilik aku without complaining.

Organized mess** - your place is worst than shipwrecked but only you know where to find and get your stuff in the piling baju, books or anything. You know the exact location of each item that you were looking at. It is a good ground for argument when you are in denial that you’re in total chaos.

** P/s: I won’t post pictures of my room. I don’t want Dear to know the intensity of my “organized mess”. Otherwise, he won’t marry me for sure.
