Not Fun Anymore

So, it’s a saturday and my laundries are piled up, high. Like I’ve mentioned, I found this self-service laundry place right beside a McD and I went there.

So yeah, it was cool at first. I read all the instructions, dumped the clothes and capful of detergent, chucked in some coins and pressed some buttons, and left, expecting my laundry to be done 30 mins later after lunch.

And I met friendly faces while having lunch but they’ve finished theirs and were already leaving. Seeing that I’m all alone, they were nice enough to stay for a bit to teman me. So very nice of them right? And I then, I didn’t eat alone. We talked and all. Quite nice having them around.

After that, I went back to the laundry place. But it was displayed that it still has 26 mins to go. What?

No, I cannot possibly finish my food in only four minutes plus the walking time to the shop, not to mention the time taken to walk back. I’m the famed slo-mo makan queen.

Yeah, it was stuck. And much later, I found out there was water supply disruption in the area. And I did the most sensible thing left to do at that time. Since all my clothes are soaked…….I hand washed them and chucked them all into the dryer. Mind you, there I had only soapy water to wash with and no second round of clean water. I’m ok with that though, thank goodness my detergent is not the strong kind. So, in the end the clothes came out damp from the dryer because they weren’t spinned beforehand. All this for RM 5.50 in coins. That’s RM3 for washing and RM2.50 for drying. But it sure beats sending my clothes to the dobi cos then I would have to wait for a day to pick them up and god knows what detergent they use and who’s clothes they’ve mixed mine with.

It shouldn’t have to be so distressful doing my laundry.

And the weather is clear today, clear enough to enjoy the lush greenery that is owned by UPM. Very nice.

And yeah, as I am typing now, my clothes are hanging out the windows getting some beautiful sunlight.

BEAUTIFUL SUNLIGHT!

until Indonesia ruins it for us, again.
