doing housework can be therapeutic.
- a certain friend, who nickname sounds like the noise a farm animal makes.
~~
conditions necessary for a fulfilling housework session:
(1) empty house (read: void of any traces of homo sapiens, but not furniture. the house has to have furniture in order for housework to be done)
(2) dirty house (if the house has just been cleaned the day before, then no point lah.. not shiok)
(3) good stereo (to blast out happening music. this ties in with the title of this entry)
(4) inspiration to do housework (either translated from constant naggings by parents; or you juz feel like doing housework the moment you got up from [usu the wrong side] bed)
factors to be present in the songs-to-belt-out-to-when-doing-housework:
(1) not too noisy lah (ie. not rock songs - coz will fight with the vacuum cleaner sound to make the whole place very noisy. noisy + dirty (house) + sweaty (you) = doesnt dat make it seem very much like a construction site? so no no..)
(2) preferably chinese (juz a personal preference - more shiok when belting them out)
(3) muz have a crescendo (for the linguistically-challenged, go check it up yourself [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crescendo].. hahah. aiyah, it juz means the song builds up to a climax when its very shiok to sing and/or shout to. 高潮, you know.. like the abovementioned forever love by leehom)
how to sing to the songs-to-belt-out-to-when-doing-housework:
(1) basically, there's only ONE step - VACUUM. here's why..
(A) it creates the sound/noise necessary for you to belt out your songs - it makes it seem like you are holding a solo concert + your (not so) good singing will be appropriately drowned in the sound/noise of the vacuum cleaner, esp when you hit those high notes, usu at the crescendo.
(B) ever notice the presence of the tube dats part of the vacuum cleaner? know wat its for? yes, its for you to sing to - its your mike + mike stand.
imagine: bending down doing the back-breaking (literally) job of vacuuming the whole house's* floor, mumbling why you have to do this in between singing to the song dats playing. slowly, the song builds up and reaches the crescendo and you stand up straight (holding the mike + mike stand) in your hand and sing/shout/croak your lungs out at the top of your voice, ever so loudly and without reservations coz no one else can hear you (coz 1. no one's at home 2. the vacuum cleaner's sound drowns your voice), occasionally waving your hands to your imaginary fans for effect. shiok.
*you have to vacuum the whole house's floors and not juz your own room's, coz dat wld be selfish, and more imptly, you need to build a crescendo in your process of doing housework as well. if you vacuum only your puny room (unless your room is as big as my whole house), then before you know it, you've already finished vacuuming liaoz, even before the song reaches any crescendo.. so all the floors in the house.
finally, the songs to belt out to when doing housework:
(1) forever love - leehom
(2) 我爱你 - she
(3) 黑色幽默 - jay
(4) 超快感 - sunyanzi (recommended by a friend. haven tried it myself)
(5) inside your heaven - cant decide if the bo or carrie version is betta
p/s: for those of you who do housework, you wld know wat im talking abt eh? any good suggestions for songs-to-belt-out-to-when-doing-housework?
