today's public holiday? i didn't know it until this morning when i woke up and found my parents at home. well, it has to be... if not why are they home? though public holiday means no work and all play, apparently my home rules are on the opposite. my mum wanted a change of water taps, additional power plugs and altering the entire electrical cables in the kitchen... what the $#@*? so me and dad (aka the "Handy Man") set out to work... i have to mention this though, it's not as though i volunteered, it was an order sent from the second "Most High".
the tap in the balcony was a little "leaky", have to change. the tap in the toilet is a little old, have to change... the tap in her toilet is a little rusty, have to change... hey, any one guy (i mean the one with the little brother sticking between his legs) here knows how to do plumbing services? i can bet at least 95% of you guys don't! so anyway, it was real tough and difficult to remove those stinking solid taps that you think it's so convenient to use. just a little turn and wah lah! Water! you guys really are living in another planet if you think it was that simple. fixed 2 taps and i was out of contention with my dad... he fixed 3... anyway, next was changing of electric wiring in the kitchen. easy feat you might say but just remember to turn off the main switch before you try anything stupid. God does not want you up there so quickly... you have to remove the wiring casing, cut new wires, scrap the coverings, join them to existing power points and connect them up correctly in understanding the danger of it.
i really do have to take my hat off to my dad... why? there is nothing he can't fix... well not all but majority. lucky mother, just say, "hey, i think the cable not very nice put here leh" or "feng shui not good to put the fridge here" and me and my dad has to bear the brunt of her ideas. well, it was serious hard work today... and the consolation was that it's all beneficial for my family and me though i am not sure i'm benefitting most of it, haha...
anyone that has plumbing or electrical problems, feel free to drop me a line... i think i might be able to help, really!
