Chinese New Year was drawing near. Mother had insisted that I clean the old attic. I armed myself with a vacuum cleaner. As I went up, I groaned as a musty smell greeted me. As I opened the door that lead to the attic, I grimaced. “Creeak…” the door creaked open. “ Aah…choo!” I sneezed. Quickly, I set out to work with great reluctance. As I finished the vacuuming, I started to shift the objects into new, orderly positions. As I tossed an old shoe box away, I spotted many pairs of beautiful peranakan beaded slippers. To my pleasant surprise, they fitted me perfectly! I let out a hoot of glee and put them carefully into a big box that I found. Altogether, I had found 10 pairs of beaded beauties.
I struggled to carry them down. Mother saw me and asked, “Meiling, what are you doing?” I smiled a broad grin and set down my new found treasure down. I took out all the slippers. Mother gasped in wonder and remarked, “My! You have found grandma’s slippers! I will call her and let her know!”
I waited for Grandma’s answer. She said that I cold keep them if I wanted to. I jumped for joy and thanked her repeatedly. She was glad that I liked them.
Look like my attic cleaning ordeal turned out to be pleasurable after all. I placed my prize amongst my peranakan shoe collection and smiled; now, I had a total of 15 shoes. I decided to wear them during Chinese New Year. One for each day! It sounded good! I resumed cleaning the attic hoping to find more treasures. If your parents ever ask you to clean anything anywhere, do not take it as a chore. Think positive! You can never tell. You might find some “treasures” too!
