The thought of having to wear warm clothings, put on your boots and later walk to the nearest laundromat which happens to be around half a mile from our house with one week load of laundry bag... you can imagine la. Kalau tak buat laundry, menimbun pulak nanti kain baju kotor. So, it has becoming a routine to do laundry every week. Cuma timing je yang tak tentu. Kadang weekends, kadang weekdays. But most of the time, we try to make a routine on every Thursday.Awat tak beli je washing machine? Washing machine alone cost around $500 brand new. Masalahnya, bukan nak beli washing machine je, the dryer pun kena beli jugak. Kat mana la nak sidai baju lepas dah basuh nanti. Bukannya ada tempat nak sidai, especially during winter ni. Kat cellar, landlord punya barang macam-macam. Dia pun sidai kain dia dalam cellar. Memang tak ada tempat la untuk kami. After costing in the amount of purchasing a washing machine and a dryer plus the recurrence charges on the electricity and gas for the warm water (air takpe, landlord cover), we've finally decided kita pegi buat laundry kat laundromat je la. Sekali pegi around $7 kami punya standard. Setahun pegi laundry pun tak sampai $500. Lagi jimat kan?
This laundromat, kalau pegi weekdays memang best, tak ada orang langsung. You've got all machines for yourself. Weekends tak payah cerita la orang ramai macam mana. Lupa lak nak bagitau, all the machines are coins operated. Nanti la ada kereta esok, tinggalkan je dalam machine, pastu boleh buat benda lain. Since takde kereta ni, pegi buat laundry kena la menapak pastu kena la tunggu sampai habis cuci semua kain. Nasib baik la ada PSP buat teman menunggu.Well thats life it is. Merantau di negara orang ni, kena la belajar-belajar susah. Maklum la, datang sini pun sebagai student.
Together singing off...
