This post is gonna be long..
No school for me this week.. it's unofficial.
But neither did i enjoy myself this week..
I was supposed to have school for 3 days..
Unfortunately I had a gastric on Tuesday.. seemed to have upset my tummy.
Then for today, Mum requested me to stay home as she had called this guy, who specialize in this area, to help us fix our lights as she bought new lightings..
And my mum had two lights for him to fix, one rack(for my room) and one hanger (for the kitchen) hoping that since he has the drill, then might as well "shun bian".
Before he drilled the holes to fix the rack, he asked if it'll affect the electricity flow.. (maybe some cables etc..) and after mumbling to himself.. it seemed that he had analysed that there'll be no problem. so he fixed my rack and hurray, my room was done!
And so he went to the kitchen and followed my mum instruction without questioning about water pipes and electricity like he previously did, and started to drill the holes for her. It was really one hole away from success! what we need was four holes drilled to put the hanger up. But... the next moment i saw when he drilled the fourth hole was.....................
WATER STARTED SPLASHING OUT WITH HIGH PRESSURE! GOSH! the uncle quickly used his thumb to hold the water back, and asked me to switch off the main water supply.. but.. i just couldn't figure how to off it.. and he called me to take over his position, so he could switch the main supply. The water pressure was seriously very strong.. and i just got myself wet and shocked in the midst of taking over as the water stopper! Horrible experience.. I had never since such high pressure water splashing onto my face and body.. what's more in an indoor area! The three of us in the kitchen were stunned.. really. My mum and I were scared.. it's just terrifying. The water pipe specialists are coming to fix the water pipe tmr.. my mum gotta work.. and that explains why I can't go school tmr oso..
Sigh. I think it gonna cost a bomb.. at least a few hundred dollars.. Whenever I think of this incident.. tho it's scary, it makes me laugh. cos what my mum wanted was just to put a $10 dollar plus hanger.. and now.... it costs her at least $xxx. My mum was funny too.. she said that letting water splash in is good.. means money will come. lol. Superly superb.
