5th day - Mico still dislikes housemates

Mico still dislikes my new housemates. She will bark fiercely at them whenever they return home. Haven got the chance to ask them to feed Mico treats and introduce them to each other.

They always stay in their own room & the door is always closed regardless whether they are in the house or not. Because of this, I hardly want to talk to them. Closed door policy will make me zip my mouth.

Whenever I wondered if they are in the house, smart Mico would somehow push the door & open it to inform me that they are not in the house. The other night, Mico pushed the door while they were asleep in the room & barked at them.

Seems like Mico feels that they have invaded her play space and does not like them.


Just saw my gleaming clean sink & toilet & pot. The work of my SIL. Wah, it has been so long since I saw a squeeky clean thing in my house. So clean until you can see the scratches made by her cleaning on my stainless steel sink...

Even the stubborn stains on my pot has been removed. Impressed.

Housemates moved in

I have 2 new housemates, shifted in today.I was in the toilet when my 2 new housemates walked into the house.Mico started barking non-stop & ended with a scream.when I came out of toilet, saw her pee on the floor & a very scared look on her face..I asked my housemate if she touched Mico & she said yes..I think my housemate has no common sense..will anyone go & touch a barking dog??I wondered if she hit/beat Mico as she was unaware that I was at home..I am just being paranoid.. Wonder if she will abuse my Mico when I am not around..Need to know some telltale signs so that I will realise it if Mico is abused.What are the telltale signs of dog abuse??

Living with 3rd Brother in Law & his wife??

Everybody in the Tan family is eyeing my spare room!
The eldest brother, my MIL etc. My MIL even suggested $300 for rental..

The 3rd brother recently got married. Wanted to buy a flat but did not have sufficent cash as prices of flats are on the high side. Hence they are looking for a place to rent.
His wife is a Myammar nationality who can speak Mandarin.
I am in 2 minds whether to rent to them.

Advantages
- she can cook.
- she can help out in household chores
- Mico will have someone to accompany her. Most probably she will be another housewife in the Tan family. All the Tan family women r housewives except for ME!
- I will get into my MIL good books by renting out to them. Next time got baby can throw to her or this 3rd sis-in-law can be caregiver too..hahah
- will not be so bored at home since got company
- get $300 for rental as suggested by MIL.

Disadvantages
- $300 is insuficient to cover additional bills eg aircon, water, gas, electricity
- total loss of privacy!
- I don't even know the name of this sister in law. The Tan family man hardly talks. Boring kind of company
- Don't know how modern this woman is. If she knows how to use my machines, various types of detergent etc.. What if my white kitchen turns black!
- Will i have to spend extra on food - Hubby does not give me allowance. What if she eats all my stuff and never replenish???
- Will she torture my Mico?? Will my Mico run out of the house if she opens the door when I am not around??
- Is she going to do housework or simply a lazy woman who bochap?
- hubby will be damm lazy. Once got additional hands to do housework, he will simply bochap anymore. It's hard to train a man to do housework. Give him an additional pair of hands to help out, he will simply bochap
- When will they buy their own flat & move out?? Will they encroach on my space forever???
- maybe I won't even want to come back to my home after work...
- what if they destroy the laminate flooring in the room??


I don't want to pay for my reno loan liao if i don't even control who gets to stay in my house.
How??

just for fun works ..while cramping books for exam

Expensive Liver Cake

Made of 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 1 egg, 1 garlic & 1 pork liver.

This seemed like a very simple & cheap piece of liver cake for a dog.

But it wasn't

Blender was used to grind this mixture till mushy, then bake for 30 mins. When I was done with the gluely mixture, I took out the blender, used a spoon to scope out the remains. After which I put the spoon inside, preparing to wash.

Looking at the disguisting blender, I tot i had better rinse it by blending some water.

Pour water into the blender & started the machine. Then I realised something was not right. The blender was making a loud sound. Took it out & realised that my spoon was still inside the blender.

The nut at the bottom of the blender broke & there went my good old blender. Smelt smoke as well from the burning of the rubber.

I wasn't really sorry about it because I had been thinking of buying a better blender, one that could really grind ice & make smoothies.

Anyway the nut belonged to the blender jar, which attached the blade to the jar. Also wondering if I could just buy the jar instead of the entire machine. I thought I saw solely the jar available for sale at Carrefour.

To save $$ & buy the jar or buy a new blender???? heee

Anyway, that explained the expensive liver cake. Mico had a good time eating it..

Whatever crap I baked, she would eat. Even the hard like stone cupcake that I baked 2 days ago which was stuck onto the baking paper, she supported my baking with her mouth. She ate it wholesale, including the paper.

hahah
