Express Laundry...

Hhhuuu....yesterday was a tiring day for me....
Aunty Chuan helped me to get a part-time job. It was doing laundry.
Few of my friends who were also working together with me in this part time job.
They were Dorcas, Joel, Danne and Jeremy.
I woke up at 6:30 in the morning because I need to wash my own clothes before going to work.
(I do my own laundry because I don't want to trouble my parents)
At 7:30am, Aunty Chuan came to fetch me.
When we reached the laundry, the place was so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.
It was a public holiday, so many of the shops were closed.
Georgi and his mom came a few minutes later.
When we took our first steep into the shop, WOW! This is my first time seeing such a BIG laundry shop. There are all types of machines. There are  machines for washing, machines for spinning, machines for drying and last but not least, a machine for ironing....
Georgi's mom was the manager, so she was the one who arranged works for us to do.
The boys went with an uncle to collect the bed sheets, pillow case and towels from different hotels.
While we girls waited for them. When they came back, it was already time for lunch.
Georgi and his mom went out to buy food.Our meal consisted of fried noodle.
After lunch, it was time for us to work.
First, the 'kakak' washed the sheets with water and of course with some soap powder.
Then, we (Dorcas and I) were told to spin the sheets in a big spinner which I never seen before!
After spinning, 'kakak' took the sheets to dry them.
Finally, the hardest task of all, was to iron the sheets. It was very different from the iron which we normally use at home. What an experience for me! It was a good explosure and eye-opening to a young girl.
Aunty Chuan came to fetch us at 5.30 evening, from there she brought us out for dinner.
Aunty was so kind to send me home after a simple dinner.
