alarm barely starts to ring… and LQ bolts up in bed, frantically scrambling for the phone to shut it off so it won’t wake up EVERYONE else…

LQ gathers her stuff and makes off for the bathroom…

SL usually found tossing about in bed around the time the alarm goes off, i think he’s not a very heavy sleeper, while LL remains like a comatose log. heh.

20min later, LQ’s done… she goes over to SL’s bed and tugs the bedcovers three times…

‘Your turn…’

then she goes put on a battery of skin stuff and make up and sort out her hair…

20min later, SL’s done… and now here’s where the challenge starts…

LQ: GL, your turn, wake up leh… you bathing or not?

GL: no… i just change…

LQ: ok, quick go change…

GL: yes mam deadpan expression and monotonous voice…

LQ: (i think i’ve just acquired a philipino/indonesian maid)

LQ: oio, LL, get up get up get up and go and bathe!!! has to make a lot of noise to get LL up and going…

Then we wait and we wait and wait some more…

LQ: LL, are you done yet? we going to eat breakfast liao leh…

LL: Ok mum, i’m almost done! you all go first k!
