anw the water meter was speeding like hell. scary eh. so i took a spanner or wadeva u call that to turn off the main tap outside the house. at first i cuden close tight enough so the water was still gushing thou the meter slowed down. den i went to find the Estate Maintance Hotline or some shit. called and they got some plumber to come n assist me. he took blardy long. so meanwhile i went to try my luck at the main tap again. eventually i manage to turn it off completely. den the plumber called to ask wads the prob n if i wanna repair. he quoted 25 bux when i told him the prob. so i guess it was ok la, din hafta wait for my dad to come home after work.

finally the plumber came abt 10 to 15 mins after he called, n fixed the damn pipe for my toilet. it was like damn easy la, i cud have easily done it myself. oh damnit. but nvm at least it was only 25 bux, n considering that i kinda single-handed settled the whole incident myself (of coz with a little help from my kind neighbour who was helpful by tying a cloth to the pipe, but din help much). i was qte proud la.*smirks* thou my stingy father insist that 25 bux is not worth it. but he cant blame me, coz he din even pick up his fone when i called for help. see?

jus a random comment dat i made that set everyone laughing: today bao shui guan, when the water bill comes, someone will bao xue guan. (requires minimal proficiency in mandrin to understand) heh... =)
