Obsessive

Look, I may not be a perfect housemate, but I do carry out my duties and sometimes, YOUR duties. I may be a bit particular over something, and sometimes obsessive is a better word to describe me. Still, I do not cross your line, so please know which line of mine that is OK for you to cross, or NEVER to cross.

Part one: belongings

Things which you're welcome to take from my territory without asking my permission before hand, provided that you return them to me after use:

1. Bible - If you eventually lost mine, I can always buy a new one. Let those who need/want it, have it.

2. Nail clipper - Oh come on, you don't have to ask me over this tiny babe.

3. All books on the book shelve

4. Iron

5. Pens in the pen holder on the table

6. Electronic dictionary

7. Calculator

8. My chopstick, spoon, fork, bowl and plate

9. stationery in my pencil case

10. Dettol cream

11. mirror

12. Scissor

Things which you're NEVER to even think of borrowing from me:

1. My power 400 anti-fog Ogival swimming goggle

2. Earrings and hairband (like, DUH, for sanitary reason)

3. Thousand Island dressing - NEVER!

4. Hashbrown - unless I offer it to you myself

5. Cooking oil - because Lian King and I cook less often in the house, so I think it's better we buy our own cooking oil and no issue of unfairness crop up when we're talking about fair sharing with the whole house.

6. BodyShop Passion Fruit body shampoo

7. BodyShop Passion Fruit body butter

8. Joico hair shampoo and conditioner

9. glass and teaspoon

10. swimming suit

11. Starbucks tumbler

12. food container - I need to bring breakfast to office every morning, so I can't lend it out during weekdays

13. Konxept hair treatment serum

14. perfume

15. towel, comb, pillow and other personal stuff

16. Sony NW-S203F MP3 Player

Things I may lend to you after you ask me:

1. Make ups - I know we're not suppose to share make ups for there are reported cases of people staying in the same house were found positive for a particular parasite because they share their make-ups. Chew Poh Ling can tell you more about this - it's her final year thesis ;-) But well, if you're really in need of it, then once or twice is ok lah. And that generously includes my The Face Shop blue eyeliner-eyeshadow tube and BodyShop pink lipbalm.

2. Laptop

3. Fan

4. Toilet roll

5. Ketchup (because it's not as important as my beloved Thousand Island)

6. Instant noodle

7. Milo 3in 1

8. Nescafe 3 in 1

9. Wire extension

10. clothe hanger

11. clothe clipper

12. Body shampoo

13. Sunsilk hair shampoo and conditioner

14. washing powder

15. Tuna spread

16. Gardenia wholemeal bread

17. Jacob cream crackers

18. Margarine

19. Peanut butter

20. my shoes

21. new toothbrush (to be replaced with another new toothbrush later)

22. Eggs

That's all I have for now. The rule of thumb: ask me before using it. If I'm not around, try not to use anything first, or make sure you know what are the things you should never lay your hands on, because I'm very anal about people using some of the stuff which I do not like to share.

Part two: duties and responsibilites (to save water and electricity and for cleanliness)

1. Please wash the wok after using it. Yes I may not need it often any you may not want to wash it right after you cook, but please do so before you sleep, OK? I believe by that time it wont burn your hands already.

2. Please switch off the lights when no one is using it. Better still, don't stay up late on your own. Because you'll be switching on the lights and only yourself is using yet we all have to pay for you.

3. Think before you open the fridge, and don't open it unnecessarily.

4. Iron all your clothes in one go, or a lot of clothes everytime you want to iron something, and not only one shirt every morning before you go to work.

5. Wash a full load of clothes everytime you're using the washing machine. If you don't have a full load yet you need to wash your clothes using the washing machine, please ask around if other people have clothes to wash also.

6. Please mop the kitchen floor after use irregards if it's your week to sweep and mop the house, especially if your cooking involves deep frying, which will make the whole kitchen very oily.

7. And yes, please sweep and mop the floor when it's your week to do so. It's a small condo and you don't have to do that for everyone's room, just the living hall and kitchen will do. I mean, you don't need people to remind/nag you about it like your mum does, right?

8. when you see the trash is full, just take the initiave to throw it ok.

9. If you have friends staying over for the night, please make sure they follow these rules too, if possible.

10. Please switch off the power for any electrical appliances after use. I don't care if the TV or electric kettle is off, as long as the switch is still turned on, that means electricity is flowing through and wasted. Bomb for next month: Our Tenaga Nasional Berhad bill dated 1st July is RM122.41!!

I sound very obsessive, don't I?...
