12.30pm: after 10 mins of trying to pry the lid open with a screwdriver... u realised that all the lever thingy we learnt in pri sch science is all bullshit. the metal merely got dented n the lid din move at all. so i had to seek help from my kind neighbour who opened it with ease. jiang1 hai2 shi4 lao3 de4 la4!

11.20pm:
done sweep the dust away. almost suffocated. -_- and then its the cleaning of walls again. sianz. but since i wanna paint, do a through job... no pt painting over dust n getting really ugly walls.12.00am: getting sick of staring at the colour alr... n its so dark i cant tell if the tone is uneven... hais... painted n painted... hmm... i thot my room is small but the walls just seem to grow higher n wider n bigger... i think too much painting gives u hallucinations...
*time just flew by*
4.00am: Ta-Daaa!!! its finally DONE! all four walls nicely painted =) i stayed up just to finish the painting so that i can rest or even go out for the last day b4 my work starts... btw, i think its a damn good workout session... esp for my right arm which is aching like mad now... >.<
i'll probably never paint my room by myself again. at least not anytime soon. u noe when it comes to painting a room, even good frens shun away. lolx. so helpful hor? hehe.
anw my bro, who has phobia of painting ever since he painted his room by himself last year, is offering me 100 bucks to paint his room for him. shud i even consider? o.O
