My mother's always told us, that, she can survive without electricity, but not without water…
And I fully agree with her… I'll probably keep telling baby too, when she understands the important of water…
See… both of us have been through the water crisis back in year, don’t know 1998, or 1999,
Where we've to get pails to go collect water from the water truck sent by government…
And that's why, till date, we still have those big pails, medium pails, small pails in our household, you just won't know when you'll need it again, though they're kinda eye-sore in the house, but then… why bother? I live in a practical world, it's all about practicality to me…
During the water crisis in klang valley,
Yep, we've to carry the pails to fetch water…
But sometimes, there's water dripping from the tap, and we're using those semi-auto washing machine, ie. you can just open up the tub and fill up the water rather than let it run from the tap..
For some reason, the tap for the washing machine, water couldn't come up, and come out, maybe the pressure was too slow, however, our sink in the kitchen, could see trail of water, and therefore, I collected the water, bit by bit, to do our launderette…
Now, I think about it, it's painful…
And that time, we're trying to minimize our change of clothes… haha!! You can imagine…
Now… also, for some reason, our launderette gets piled up very fast…
Maybe we changed our clothing more frequently, due to the increase of the climate temperature,
Or, just for some reason, I don't know…
Plus, with additional of a baby in the household, who, definitely needs clean clothing at all time…
We really have piles and piles of launderette to be done…
But it's ok, as I've posted before, I love doing launderette…
However!!!
The other day… we started encountering another water crisis again… gosh!! I really think, WATER is sooooooooo important!!!
Long story cut short:~ (point form)
Air-conditioner was down for a while, due to "stupid" layout of the compressor at the back in our backyard, which is due to "stupid" supervision by the "see tao poh", ie. ME!!
So, after dragged so long, we intended to have it fixed, 2 weekend ago!
People came and fix, try to move it to the top of the inner wall, which I knew there's a pipe running, cos, during our house renovation, I saw the contractor drilled into the pipe, and walla~~ water shoot out!!
That day, I've this feeling that, we might drill into the pipe again, just a feeling, however, since I' m not the type of person who've sixth sense frequently, therefore, I chose to ignore it…
And yes… just right there, the kid who came service our aircond and to move the compressor, drilled right into the pipe, again!! This time, on the other side of the wall..
AND, THAT'S THE MAIN PIPE TO THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD!! He's to quickly run down to the management and call out the guy to open up the water meter room, to close the pipe…
Luckily the management person with the key was in, though both were still soaked, especially the little kid…
That weekend and that night, we survived on mineral water, and before we figured a way to fix it, we just let the water sip through the whatever seal that the kid put on, which failed to conceal 100%, and that we could take our shower for the night…
And luckily, his father's a knowledgeable man who's very well-versed in all these DIY thing…
The next morning, when he shared this "session" with the father, immediately, SELLEYS KNEAD-IT was introduced… and immediately we went to the shop to look for it…
ya, I really have to say it out, say it out, say it out!!
it's about the toilets in our country...
see...
I've been reading blogs, different mama's blogs with my google reader, (yay! google rocks!)
and one day, I came across this blog entry from one of the blogs that I subscribed..
which, serious, I feel like putting my fist through the computer screen and that it'll reach the other end, to punch that mother!
she actually wrote out clear and loud and SHAMELESSLY that, with no hesitation, she'll STEP on the toilet seat!!
(oh!! may she accidentally slip and dip her own smelly feet into her own pool of pee and poo!! and be locked inside the toilet!)
ya, she started by posting the pictures she took off the public toilet's door, a nice cartoon to remind users to be considerate and not to step on the toilet seat, COS, OTHERS NEEDT USE!
and I thought she's going to elaborate more about being a considerate public-toilet-user!!
and NO!!!! she said, without thinking twice, she'll step on it,
cos, you know what? she said, she doesn't want to sit on it, cos, so many other people have sat on it!!
goodness gracious!! and shameful to say, our country is really FULL OF THIS TYPE OF JABO! or aunties, or whatever they are!!
ya, you don't want to sit on it, cos, so many have sat on it,
but you don't care that, others have to sit on where you've put your smelly feet and smelly shoes??
(oh!! may she accidentally slip and dip her own smelly feet into her own pool of pee and poo!! and be locked inside the toilet!)
and if you really think that, public toilet is like this, why don't you just lock yourself in ICU and not be near any germs in the public places,
and why do you want to come out to the public, eat in public restaurants, shop in public malls, step on the public ground!
you should even throw all your money away, as they contain more bacteria if you ask me!
at least, most of the time, they're just some fat asses that come into contact with the toilet seats, if not nice asses, or sexy asses!!
and as far as I know,
asses can't lock doors, hold handles, can't hold chicken bone, or dustbin, can't touch dogs, or cats, or other animals, can't dig nose, can't dig ears, can't dig teeth, can't dig other holes,
BUT I KNOW VERY WELL, HANDS AND FINGERS come into contact with all the above, so, why don't you throw all your money away!??
if you do not want to sit on a toilet seat, and AT LEAST USE YOUR BRAIN AND EYES, to think that you can, and therfore, look for those toilets that are squattable!!
don't tell me it's urgent matter...
who goes in there for fun?? if not urgent, it's not only YOU have urgent need to attend to! IT'S NOT ONLY YOU, OK??
if you think that, others deserve to sit on where you've stepped with your smelly feet/shoes, then, please demo to me, you're willling to lick your own toes to the sole of your foot, oh!! both feet please!!
else?
(oh!! may she accidentally slip and dip her own smelly feet into her own pool of pee and poo!! and be locked inside the toilet!)
