Instead, I want to talk about bathing.
Yes, bathing.
I know of someone who goes into the bathroom to have his bath and comes out less than 5 minutes later. Now tell me, do you think he had a decent bath or not? I mean, is 5 minutes enough time to ensure you are clean?
To me, 5 minutes bathing is like "mandi kerbau". To those not familiar with this Malay term, it means not proper or ineffective bath or shower. It also means one who bathe with water only, without using soap.
I just cannot imagine how one can do a quickie in 5 minutes. And I am not talking about sex. Can you imagine he finishes his shower before I finish cooking my instant noodles?
How on earth he manages to clean his scalp, scrub the part behind his ears, in between each of his toes, his armpits and his private parts in under 5 minutes? Oh, you don't do any of those things? I see. Well, if anyone of you say it's possible to do all those in under 5 minutes, please make a YouTube recording of you bathing and show it to me! Haha!

My next issue with bathing is how often do you take your bath? Once a day? Twice a day? Or once a week?
I know of someone living in UK who bathes once a month. Can you believe it? I know the cold weather there does not make you sweat as much as here in Malaysia, and I'm not too keen to shower in the cold too, but once a month?
I don't know about you, but I sure as hell don't want to be any where near that person!

My third issue regarding bathing is do you sing in the bathroom? Well, do you? I don't know why but some people become instant karaoke singers in the bathroom. I'm amazed they could remember every single lyrics of the song or songs they are singing. And they sing so loudly, I won't be surprised if the next door neighbours can hear them too!
It's OK if they sing like Kelly Clarkson or Adam Lambert, but no, they sound too much like William Hung to me!
Well, I am embarassed to say I like to sing in the bathroom too, but I don't sing so loudly to the extent that people come knocking on my bathroom door and ask me to shut the hell up! Maybe it's the acoustics in the bathroom - it sort of make your voice sound so much better, doesn't it? No joke, I thought I sounded so much better than David Cook at one time. In the bathroom, that is.
Or maybe it's nicer to sing in the nude? Hmmm....

By the way, do you use soap bar or liquid shower gel for your bath? I prefer shower gel mainly because it's more hygienic if you share with others. Secondly, I just feel that the bar is too clumsy to be used when your hand is wet.
And this is an advice especially for men. You don't want to be picking up that bar of soap on the floor in a public bathroom that is filled with other men. You know what I mean, don't you? No? Never mind! Just don't use the public bathroom!
Just two days ago, I was at Tesco in Damansara Mutiara and I saw this special offer. Buy a 1 litre Dove shower gel for RM19.90 and get a free 400ml Dove shower gel. Pretty good deal yes? So I quickly grabbed three bottles!
And I brought back three 400ml bottles (only one bottle in the picture, which is the one on the right) free!
If you don't want to miss this offer, quickly head over to Tesco now!
Oh, and since we are on the subject of bathing, if you really don't know the proper way to shower, read How To Take A Shower from wikiHow. Showering will never be the same again!
Have a happy weekend, everyone! : )
