Spring Cleaning Time

13 January 2008

My father when to the hospital to visit my grandmother early in the morning so my brother, mother and I would have to do the spring cleaning job by ourselves. My brother was promoted to JC2 this year and had a lot of homework to be done compared to me so i did not have any excuse not to help. Today's job was to bring down the curtains for washing and with the absence of my father from the spring cleaning job, i had to do it.

This may sound weird but it was the first time i was using the ladder from what i could remember. The ladder looked shaky but it was like a challenge calling itself upon me. I climbed it and it did not feel unstable at the top. I gleefully took down the the curtains one by one and somehow got addicted to climbing the ladder. I felt very great at that time as if i had some kind of ability and started bragging to my brother about i being able to climb the ladder. Both of us were afraid of climbing the ladder at first and so i was happy to be able to climb it before he did. I continued to take down the curtains and brought them to wash, hoping to relieve myself of the job next week.

I wished next week's job would be easier.
