[[ dish-washing

2:04 AM

my mom just had an operation.
she was still hurting so she went to sleep early.
i thought my dad would clear the dishes. but he did not. and he went to bed. =/
there was a table full of unfinished food, and a sink full of dirty plates, pots and pans.
urgh.
for the first time in a long time, i got myself down to wash the dishes.
seriously, we should appreciate our mothers for doing this EVERY DAY.
i washed:
-1 huge black wok (damn heavy)
-1 medium bowl
-1 large bowl (freakin big)
-2 glass plates
-1 metal plate
-3 small dishes
-2 pairs of chopsticks
-2 forks
-2 spoons
-3 cups
-1 heavy pot cover
-2 wooden spatulas (one was particulary hard to wash cuz all the rice stuck to it)

the sink was choked cuz all the leftover bits of food were stuck in the hole at the bottom of the sink (what do you call it?). guess what i did.
urgh. i put my hand into the murky water which filled 3/4 of the sink and scooped all the bits of food with my hand. god knows what was in there.
i didn't wear my specs. if i knew what i was scooping out i would most probably freak out and die.
it was utterly disgusting to dig into the hole and fish out all the bits of food. really.
imagine how mum does it every single day after cooking.
we really should appreciate mothers. or maids.
now my hands hurt from soaking in dishwashing detergent for too long.
and what's the worst thing? I LOVE MY HANDS.

but i Y mum MORE :D

but i only suffered for one day. mom suffers every day. plus she has to put up with my rudeness and laziness. sigh. i wonder how i'm gonna survive if i ever become a mother.
i guess i should learn to be more appreciative of the things or people around me. afterall, i'm one lucky kid. (:

and oh yeah, shanghai ocip team rocks :D
special mention: mingren (from S72) our logistics leader is waaay efficient.
i can't wait for shanghai.
