Just a little rant here after doing the vacuum of the whole house.
OMG, I found some unknown poos at the corner of the shelf at the foyer. *YUCKS!* The poos are quite big, oh my...I wonder how big the 'thing' is. >_<
The depressive feeling sinks in again as I had to go through the 3 levels, dragging my vacuum cleaner all along the floor surfaces, taking off and plugging in to a new socket as I went, going around piles of junks still sitting on the floor, emptied the dust from the vacuum cleaner twice. I wonder when will these all goes away.
It often amazed me how much these place will collect dust and dirt. It had not been cleaned for two weeks. The previous cleaning was done by Eric's sis, after days of 'asking' her to help out in housework.
I called Eric to settle my depressive and frustration. He always give me encouraging words, but sometimes, I felt that these were just so superficial. You thank me for doing the cleaning, however, I AM the only one doing the cleaning of the house. If you really want me to do the cleaning, give me the authority and I will CLEAN up all the junk in the house, all the moulds and all the dirty yellow papers that is stuck away in all corners n holes. But no, I had to cover my eyes over the many filth and it is FRUSTRATING !
I really want to go move out. I don't care about this place. Yet I had to slave away here. Not even paid!
While people who belong to this place, the rightful owners, left it in such a filthy condition and expect me to tolerate it. I really wonder why this family behaves like this.

Hey dear~~
it's your cousin jiexin here.
I had no idea this was happening and only read your blog today. >_<
Looking at married friends, I think that living with the husband's side of the family is tough, and I'm sure it's especially tough on you since the family different ways of valuing old items (though hoarding is a really serious problem).
The cleaning up is going to be tough, slow and not everyone is going to be happy about the changes, but I think you're doing good. After all, it is for everyone's health and safety sake. Just take it slow, one step at a time, for yourself and for the others who need time to accept the changes.
Jiayou. If anything, just email me or my sis or skype k?
Love ya,

Hey dear, it's your cousin jiexin here.
I had no idea this is happening and that you've been going through such a difficult time.
Looking at my married friends, I think that living with in-laws is a really tough thing, and I think it's especially hard on you, what with your MIL's health not being very good and the family's hoarding issue. (which really needs to have something done.)
Cleaning such a huge house with so many things will definitely take a lot of time and energy, so just take it slow, one step at a time. It'll also allow the other occupants of the house to slowly accept the changes to their lives. But I think you're doing good and making progress. It will be tough but it is for everyone's health and safety sake.
Of course, moving out is also a good option if you think you need a break from the house. Afterall, you're newly married you deserve to be enjoying your couple life instead of cleaning up an old house (though there could be some enjoyment from it too?)
Jia you, if anything, me and my sis are just a skype call away, or an email if you just need to write it out to someone. And of course, I'm sure your mom is always there for you too and can offer lots of advice if you do let her know about the situation.
Love,
Jie xin
