KITCHN CURE! (Day 1 and 2)

Wow I haven't posted in a long time! Around 6 months to be exact! Anyway, the main topic for today (or tonight) is my horrendous kitchen. ._.

Since I have a month or so to go before school starts again, I decided to clean my entire house. I hope that by having a clean, appealing house my brain will feel more rested and less overwhelmed on a daily basis. In the process of that, I found this thing online called the 'Kitchn Cure', which I thought would help the process of cleaning the kitchen. As the kitchen is one of the most heavily used spaces, at least in my house, it is full of everything that doesn't belong anywhere in particular (like laundry and first aid stuff and appliances). Obviously, it is also full of food that is often not edible anymore or fights for attention such that no one knows certain food exists, until it is not edible anymore. D:

Anyway, here are (a lot of) pictures documenting the before and after of the process. I think I shall post the 'before' pictures in separate posts because I don't want to induce a headache from the utter eyesore it is in its entirety.


Day 1: Declutter and clean refrigerator

Well, obviously the fridge door needed more work haha. But at least I could see yoghurt and asparagus and food that wasn't chocolate and ice cream and sauce (whether expired or not).

Brief interlude:

My lunch after day 1!

Day 2: Declutter and clean pantry

These are the before pictures. I went on to spend 3-4 hours cleaning up. ._. And then a gigantic cockroach appeared in the kitchen because it was attracted to the light and I gave up and went to bed.


 Bonus picture! (Which I accidentally uploaded.) Heart-shaped strawberry!

My life (on two wheels) so far.

Recently I've been thinking that people take life for granted as pedestrians. (Oh how pedestrian!) A nice path is carved out that must lead to wherever you want to go just because there must be one if this country is to call itself civilised! Then, once on the path, the whole path belongs to that person too, so he or she can take up as much space or time as needed.

Come to think of it, the same goes for drivers. Everyone must drive and must learn to drive because that is what an "advanced" civilisation is. Thus, roads and cars must be provided and everyone who is not a driver is inferior and as such, has no right to the road. I suspect this goes through the subconscious of most drivers, "As a matter of fact, anyone who isn't me is inferior and has less right to the road, if any right at all.'

But at least they acknowledge the other exists (sometimes).

As a cyclist, I don't know my place. I mean it literally, but both drivers and pedestrians probably would use that sentence laced with contempt. I've not found a proper set of rules that everyone is supposed to follow. Not even on the official websites! So... Do I follow traffic rules perfectly for the greater good and risk my life (well, it's technically illegal to cycle on pedestrian paths) or do I make up my own rules which might fuel many people's anger or cost them some time? (I didn't mention injuries because I always slow down for pedestrians or swerve away at cost to myself.)

Just irritated because I've been squeezed to the kerb and had drivers honk and speed past me a lot for the past week. Oh. You'd think people would be nicer on a university campus but... They're really bad compared to those on the main road. ):
