I did mention in my previous post that my friends and I are planning for a reunion when I go home. It’s a very timely plan, hubby said that we should go home soon. We don’t see any improvements here. So, it’s time to go home. That means we need a new luggage. Oh I was not able to post that the Samsonite luggage went home ahead of us. Yup you heard it right. Actually the owner did ask it back so we have to send it back. It’s not ours anyway. Well, that left us luggage free. Luggage free! Gosh, packing without a luggage is difficult. We have to buy our own before we transfer. Silly me of course, we will do that.

Cleaning stainless steel is not as simple to clean as the name would like you to believe. Yes, stainless steel does not stain, as long as you do not think that streaks are stains. Here are a few ideas to help you have streak free stainless steel.
- For cleaning small stainless steel items, soak them in warm water and then rub with lemon juice or vinegar before rinsing thoroughly.
- Vinegar is great for cleaning stainless steel. To clean and polish stainless steel, simply moisten a cloth with undiluted white or cider vinegar and wipe clean. Can also be used to remove heat stains on stainless steel cutlery.
- Stainless steel worktops and sinks tend to have streaks on them after cleaning. So a simple little tip to remove those steaks is to rub them with olive oil. It will remove the streaks.
- Another way to remove streaks or heat stains from stainless steel is by rubbing the item or area with club soda. Simple but effective.
I just have a good time talking to a friend whom I haven’t seen for a year. Actually we are colleagues before, a group of three in one office. When craziness hits our heads, the three of us resigned our jobs one by one. It goes like this, I went out first, followed by another the following month and so on. So, the three of us left in just three months. And of course, our boss wants to kill us three, literally.
Now each of us is living different lives. We don’t have the luxury of time we used to have before. The very reason we treasure every minute of our talk time. We don’t actually talk about future or words to ponder. We are only talking about simple things like where to buy diet pills, lotion, make up, clothes and so much more. And the topic will just swirl to nowhere or to anything. It sounds shallow, but it creates bonding between us. This time we are planning for a reunion, only if I go home. Maybe in the future I think.
The owner of the house arrived yesterday and there is a feeling of excitement and fear. It’s not that we have done something to the house that cause us to feel that way. Maybe we are just anxious that they will not like us, or they might say something about us. Forget about it, we are just paranoid of their arrival I guess.
The first thing the man did is checked the details of the house, undermount sink, the roof, the paint and so on. He even went at the back to check the place. Well, there goes our day. The good thing is that they did not stay for long. They went ahead after living their bags. That’s a relief, at least we won’t feel awkward again. But, they will be back on Thursday for their bags. I guess will have to go somewhere then.
