Auntie So Shall is withdrawing into her cold hard shell, now that Auntie’s younger brother’s visit has come to a close. The day younger brother left, Auntie calculated the amount she spent gallivanting around with him and the time spent outside her comfortable air-conditioned home – and came to the conclusion that Auntie needs to draw down her shutters and lock her front and back door, and turn a deaf ear to visitors and pesky door knockers for at least another month.

If you need Auntie So Shall, she shall be on her luscious sofa where she will be ‘re bonding’ with her Wii and munching on low fat cookies. All letters will be diverted to the SM Head Gremlin, who will ensure Auntie So Shall gets her hard-earned rest. If your letter gets pass Auntie’s gremlins, she will be glad to produce a response.

Do you sneak around your boss’s back when he’s not looking? Do you hide things from your friends? Take this quiz to find out how much of a sneak you are!

1. Your boss has just left for the day. Do you:
(a) continue on with work like a usual working day.
(b) put your feet up on the desk, take out the muncies and tune in to your favorite soap.
(c) finish your work quickly and sloppily, then log on to MSN to start chatting with your friends.

2. You go to a buffet lunch and eat until you can’t breathe. Before leaving, you see your all-time favorite cheesecake being put on the counter for next round’s buffet. Do you:
(a) look left and right, then stuff the cheesecake wrapped in tissue in your purse.
(b) grab the cake, go back to the buffet table as if you forgot something there, and gobble down the cake quickly.
(c) walk out of the restaurant wishing you could come back later for that delectable piece of cake.

3. We know you’re not a cheater. But you’re in the exam room taking an exam and the night before, there was that irresistable party you just HAD to go to, so you:
(a) try to complete the exam on your own and hope for the best. ‘Cuz you’re not a cheater. We know that.
(b) sneak a peek at your neighbor’s paper. It’s not really cheating, it’s just a little peek.
(c) turn around and grab your friend’s paper when the examiner is not looking, then give the paper back when the examiner turns around again.

See how much you scored:
1. (a) 1 (b) 3 (c) 2
2. (a) 3 (b) 2 (c) 1
3. (a) 1 (b) 2 (c) 3

My goodness, can you be anymore sneaky?? Or should that be rephrased to “unshamefully obvious”??? You are so good at doing things behind people’s backs you should consider becoming a crook!

Rumblings and Grumblings from the Closet July 18, 2007

I am horrible.

If you walk into my room now, you will see clothes strewn over an unmade bed, handbags and newspapers piled up on my other bed (please don’t make me explain why I have two beds), more clothes spilling out of the closet onto the floor, and shoeboxes scattered all over the place. Who would believe I got voted Most Organized back in high school?

*Sigh*

It was my equivalent to Spring Cleaning Day. Except it’s not spring. And I doubt it’ll all be done in a day.

If you’re a packrat like I am, let me give you some advice:

  • Throw out all those useless things you’ve collected over the years. You know you’ll never use them, even if you keep telling yourself there will be an occasion when it’ll come in handy. It won’t.

  • Take snapshots of your shoes and stick them on the side of the shoebox. This way, your precious heels can be housed neatly and you won’t have a hard time finding the right shoes when you need them.

  • If you have more clothes than you can handle, pick out the ones you know you’ll never wear again and give them away to charity. Or if you insist on keeping them all, find a plastic drawer to store your more “casual” clothes so they don’t pile up on the floor!

  • Stuff your handbags with crumpled balls of paper to retain its shape. Keep your handbags in a plastic bag or in a breathable bag to protect it from dust. Again, snapshots come in handy when trying to locate the right bag.

  • Put some silica gel (those little packets of transparent beads that comes with crunchy snacks with the words “DO NOT EAT” in bold) in your shoe closet and handbag storage area to dehumidify your closet and prevent fungus from thriving in there! Eek!

Try to maintain this system and keep your room from becoming more cluttered.

Now, I must excuse myself and go clean up the mess in my room!
