Whether it be Korean to understand that Kdrama Crash Landing On You or Mandarin to have a secret language with your Chinese friends, it's always good to have another language up your sleeve!

 

8. Deep clean your room

If your Asian mum hasn't started doing it.............

i) Vacuum

Flip your whole bed over and vacuum underneath your bed. I know you haven't done it in a while, am I right? Do every inch and corner of your room.

 

ii) Clothes

Sort through your clothes and make 3 different piles:

1) Keep

2) Donate to charity

3) Give to extended family members

 

iii) Books and files

Do the same thing with books and files. If you haven't touched it in more than 6 months, do you really need it?

In hopes everyone is taking the safety measures and listening to our Prime Minister's orders to STAY HOME to help contain the spread of COVID-19. We're all anticipating the brighter days to come and hope we'll only be quarantined until 31st of March 2020. Let's all do our part as a community and stay put at home, only going out when necessary to buy essentials (also only one person is allowed to leave the house to buy).
