impromptu water feature in my house


it was 12 at night
i was lying in bed doing sudoku:)
till i heard.."er jie, come down!" from esther


as i made my way down
heard the sound of flowing [not trickling] water
like eeeeekksss...


the kitchen was flooded! like really flooded
the pipe leading to the kitchen tap literally burst
and water was gushing out, through the cupboard doors


esther called my parents[in m'sia] who were already asleep
she took a while getting them to understand what was happening
anyway..we had to switch off the mains basically


which meant..NO water supply!


we started cleaning up..
mopping up the water
throwing out everything that was ruined [like the garlics and sponges]
removing all the stuff under the cupboards and wiping them
rem..its was like 12 plus at night!
oh..and we sent the brother to buy water:)


you dun want to know how we spent the night
its sums up to say that it was like MAJOR water rationing
really never knew water was soooo important
and was so thankful when the plumber came


looking back
it was quite comical actually..
an experience of a lifetime [so trite i know]


and an interesting observation
people react to stress in different ways right?
on that night..
i laughed alot, sis 'scolded' alot and bro stoned alot:)
excellent example right? haha:)


for the record..all the drama ended at 1 plus
and finally slept at about 2
[without getting rid of the grime of the night]
