I hate upgrading! - Part II

Toilet upgrading - stage 1
Knocked off everything!

Toilet upgrading - stage 2
Add in the cement!

Toilet upgrading - stage 3
Lay the tiles! And there you have it, a new toilet is almost coming my way...



Never did ever looked at the scenary from my room, at least not until my window was torn off. Actually the view is pretty good, it could be better if the new lift is not blocking the way. But in a day time, the window in my room is up again. How different does it look from the previous one? Not much different actually. Except that I have additional glass panel and less 1 metal panel. Come to think of it, changing of window did make a different...lots of dust and lots of cleaning to do lor...hee...

Upgrading diary con't
2 Oct (Tue):
My mum wants to repaint my whole house and is asking me what colour I prefer. So I told her how abt baby yellow? Then she say not nice. So I go on to say baby green? Then she commented "yucks, ugly". So I ask her wat colour she wants then. She immediately say "blue and white" coz it's her lucky colour for the year. Well, my first reaction was, if you already had in mind what colour you want then why bother asking me what colour I prefer?

She is asking for opinion when in fact she has made the decision. The reason for her choice of colour is so weird. Her lucky colour for the year but the year is almost ending...haha...

4 Oct (Thu):
Back on track...my kitchen cabinet is dismantled...gas pipe newly replaced...of coz these mean more money spent. But as long as it can lower my mum stress level...the money is worth it...lesser nagging for me ma...haha...

5 Oct (Fri):

Bathroom accessories shopping time...I guessed all aunties are the same...they like to "kek poh". Since the upgrading started, beside having lots of workers walking in and out of my house, I also have lots of aunties walking in and out of my house "kek-pohing". Some I know them but some I dun and my mum like all other anuties also like to go other people house and kek-poh. So when she was poking her nose into my neighbour house, she saw people getting new bathroom accessories and she also want to buy. It's like the primary school kids mentality. She have, I also want!!! I received a call once my neighbour told her that the place sells cheap bathroom accessories. So I have to call the shop to ask for exact location, rush home straight after work to accompany her to go bathroom accessories shopping only to discover that the stuff in that shop aren't really cheap. So we had to stay on in the shop so that my mum can bargain n argue with the person on how cheap my neighbour got the items, OMG... I dun even mind paying the listed price as once as I can go home and eat my dinner.

6 Oct (Sat):

Hot and long day...that's the day I officially got cut off from internet access coz my mum cut off the internet connection wire...I'll just need to bear with it for abt 1 plus mth n i will go apply n install MIO or whatever internet package I'm getting. And besides new internet connection, I'm looking forward to buying new HP. Yeah Yeah!!! Any good HP to recommend? Hee...

The speech that nearly doesn't end...

Aiyoyo, I have just met the super long-winded man in my life and the worst case is, he does not answer to your questions no matter how straight-forward your question is. The man can repeat the same useless point for like x number times (I lost count after awhile). And the man who pride himself for being smart and provide excellent customer service do not read my email which had all information written on it, do not answer my question straight to the point, say alot of irrelevant things which I dun care...I hv no idea which of the above reflects smart n excellent customer service man.

While he thinks we tarnish the professionalism of my organisation, I think he is already doing an excellant job on this aspect liao. hahaha...

Leaving on the dot challenge

Recently, I have embarked on the leaving on the dot challenge due to my house upgrading, unfortunately I do not have much success as yet. Today is my closest try in my entire working duration in Nexus. Today, I was able to leave at 6.15pm. 15 minutes passed my official knock off time. I have been working for more than 1 yr liao but never once have I been able to leave on the dot.

Despite I left office rather early today, Mr 老天爷 decide to play a trick on me. My whole journey home took me nearly 2 hrs. Firstly, it took forever for the bus 145 to come. When it's finally here, I can't get on it. So I waited n waited for the next one. When I finally board the bus, it's already 6.53pm.

That's not all. The north east line decided to take its own sweet time to close the door at every station. So instead of the regular 20 sec wait before dooring closing, it somewhat extended to mins, defintely more than 1 min wait per station. Good thing was Uncle 老天爷 decided to 放我一条生路. The remaining of my journey went on pretty smoothly. Best of all, I managed to get my hair washed in the salon before it closes. :)

Tml is a brand new day and I shall attempt to leave on the dot again. Wish me luck! Hee...

Generation gap or ...?

Generation gap or communications skill problem...that's the question. Recently, I found that my communications with my mum is often taking too long to make her understand wat I'm trying to say or the communications is just getting nowhere. When I tell her abt 'A', she will reply me abt 'B'. Is this wat most people call "generation gap" or simply my communications skill got problem?

I hate upgrading!

My agony started with the packing of the house to get it ready for my flat upgrading. The upgrading started on 29 Sep but my agony begins on 24 Sep. My day start with the 1st shift in the office, then I continue my 2nd shift at home. All the packing was finished on 29 Sep at 4am.

29 Sep (sat):
Then after 3 and half hours of sleep, I took the last shower in my dear bathroom and the construction work officially started. It also mean that from that point onwards, sayonara to the 2 loyal serving toilets in my house. No more toilets, no more water, no more convenience. Lots n lots of dust, dirt, noise n workers in my house.

30 Sep (sun):
The workers stop work for 1 day and I had to bear with a temporary toilet with no water heater and no flushing system. The temp toilet is so small that if you can slightly "horizontally expanded", you will have difficulty turning within the cubicle. Well, it almost impossible to wash my hair in tt temp toilet so I just have to look for other alternatives. That is really an expensive alternative: wash hair in salon. It is the only way to ensure that I can hv clean hair.

1 Oct (mon):
Just wen u thought, no comfortable bathroom to take nice n clean shower is bad. Some thing worse happen on the 3rd day of upgrading. The old stupid gas pipe is causing me lots n lots of trouble. I need to knock away half of my kitchen wall to make way for the dumb utility room. And because the gas pipe is embedded within the wall, I had to get rid of it so that upgrading can proceed without "industrial hazard" - kaboom! Then the Citygas person knock off the whole stretch of my kitchen step and cut off my water pipe instead. He then told my mum tt he cut the wrong pipe and tt the actual gas pipe is hidden deep within the other pipes. My mum who freak out over the slightest matter...freak out big time...n is explaining totally nonsense to me...I hv a big problem on hand and a freaking out mum...all bcoz of the upgrading fault. haiz...This is only the 3rd day of the upgrading and I still need to survive 15 more days. Can someone explain to me why am I paying so much money to get myself so much trouble? Who are those stupid people who vote yes to the upgrading?

Breathe in, Breathe out, Breathe in, Breathe out...I should stop my bitching session, oops...I mean my upgrading 全记录 la. So look out for more of my upgrading sequel, hee...
