I HATE DOING LAUNDRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just like Gwen, I too hate doing laundry!!!!

I used the laundry service 4 times in total including today.. And each time, I encountered different problems..

People say you learn from your mistakes, and I did, but every time I use it again, different problems will come up!!!! I'm so sick of the stupid washing machine... Urgh..

First time:

Pre-washing:
i was too anxious to use a washing machine on my own for the first time, so while i was opening my packet of washing powder, i think i used too much strength and it spilled all over the floor!!!! you can imagine how much time i need to "sweep" it back and put the whole packet into BOTTLES!!!! so now i've got like washing powder in mineral water bottle?!!!!

Wahsing:
Nothing much came up during washing. just that somehow some of my shirt got some stain from unknown place?!~

Drying:
I used the dryer too. and its pretty ok. most of my clothes are dry. very satiesfied.


Second time:

Pre-washing:
Carried my bag of laundry all the way down to the laundry room, which is quite far away, only to know that I've forgotten to bring coins!!!!! so had to walk back to my room to take the stupid 40 cents and walk all the way down to the laundry room again.. urgh....

Washing:
I didn't know that i need press and hold the "START" button, so i just pressed it. and somehow instead of washing, it's spinning!! and that time i did not know what on earth is spinning. i just stared at the machine and wait for the 7 minutes. i thought to myself as i'm unable to believe what i saw: how can a washing machine that old wash my clothes in 7 minutes, WoW!!
so i sakai-ly waited there for 7 minutes and when i reopen the cover, i found out that all my washing powder and softener is still in place, and there's not even a bit of water on my shirt and somehow my clothes are pushed to the side. then i baru know what on earth is spinning for. luckily i don't need to pay extra to let the machine to start from the beginning to start washing.

Drying:
Somehow i managed to get a dryer. put in 40 cents too. but after 1 hour, most of my clothes are still not dry. dunno whats the dryer for?!!!!!!! so i had to hang it all over my tiny room. hai..... waste money and time.

Third time:

Pre washing:
Again, i did not bring down my coins!!! sien-nya!!!!!!!! and you can only use 20 cents coin for the washing machine. so sickeningly i went up to my room to take it again.

Washing:
This time, nothing much happened during the washing period. Phew!!!

Drying:
Just as I finished moving out all my clothes from the washing machine, I saw someone removing his clothes from one of the dryer. i was so happy to see that as i thought i need to stand there for i dunno how long to wait for a dryer to be available. (FYI, there's more than 20 washing machines and only 8 dryers)
so happily, i dumped all my clothes in the Dryer 1, closed the door and went over to put money into the machine. somehow, the machine just refused to "receive" my money. the money keep on coming out and the dryer just won't get going.
after numerous tries, i was already sweating like what and hey, i just showered. laundry room is the one of the most stuffy and hottest place in PGP!!! gosh!!!!
eventually, i gave up on the dryer. as there was no more dryer available, i dragged my not-very-dry laundry back to my room and started to hang them all around again. grrrrrrrrr......... got money also dun wan one bor the stupid dryer..


Fourth time

Pre-washing:
This time, i planned carefully and so i did bring my coins! yeah.. but as its was raining this morning and the floor was still wet, i actually slipped while going down some stairs when i was going to the laundry room. shoot!!

Washing:
did the usual routine and get the machine started. 32 minutes and i should be able to collect my laundry, according to the machine.
went back room to online for a while and went back to the laundry room half an hour later, only to see a weird "E3" is displayed at the screen. didn't know what on earth is that again, i opened the cover and see that though my washing powder was used, my softener was still there. so i press the "START" button, and the machine gets going! yeah!! but then it wasted my time!!!!!! 20 minutes more.....
so again, went back to my room to online and went back 20 minutes later. opened the cover and saw there's still some water at the base. meaning to say all my clothes are still very wet. i guess the washing machine forgot to spin my clothes. however, i can't start the machine anymore. sien-ly, i transfer my clothes to the neighbouring washing machine, put in another 40 cents coin and let it to start to spin. luckily i made the stupid mistakes during my second time so i know how to adjust the setting to only spin and not wash anymore. =) 7 minutes....
so i decided to wait there as the journey to and fro my room would take more than 4 minutes. just as i thought everything would be working fine, the machine started to come up with all sorts of noise. its SOOO loud that everyone in the laundry room were staring at me and my washing machine. i was kinda embarrased. i let the machine to run some more and after about 20 seconds of loud noise, it stopped. phew!!!! and just as i stepped out of the room just to get some fresh air, the noise stared all over again, and this time even louder!!!!!! i quickly rushed into the room and off the power. and there's it for my 40 cents!!! miserably..
but luckily the spinning for the mere 3 minutes was quite useful too. at least the clothes are quite dry.

drying:
i don't even bother to use a dryer anymore after the loud noise incident. i quickly "siam" from the room and rushed back to my room.
and yeah, i spent bout 30 minutes just to hang all my clothes all around my room.. hai.................


that's why i say i hate doing laundry. i hate it!!!!!

and don't even ask me to hand wash. that's even more mahuan....

on a more happy note, i bought 2 shirts at Queensway last night.

cost me $16 for both.


P/s: Something to ponder on: You can't expect people to teach you everything, many times we just need to go and touch it and learn from your mistakes!! I'm still learning!~
