I woke up this morning and went to kitchen to boil water like usual when I notice there was something different with the kitchen’s door. Aha, a note.
” Andrew, Please call for gas. (you guys finish the gas 
) Number 019-xxx-xxx.” follow by thanks, ask for receipt, share the money later, bla bla bla.
-__-” Aiyo, like that also need to state the reason calling for gas ah? It’s true la we use it quite often, cook quite often. But you and the other one use it also what. And it’s not new when we moved in. Who finish it is not important mah. Take out unimportant element la. Aiyer. I feel so bo song la.
When the water and streamyx was suspended, we also never say it’s because of you never pay the bills. Though I really want to tell him this ‘hey streamyx can’t use, no water also. You haven’t pay the bill is it? We have paid you the money what. What happened?’ But I scare it’s gonna make him feel bo song. Now he doesn’t even think about mine la. Isshhh….
Whatever la. I’m just in the sensi mood.
I was in the mood to browse through Limkokwing website to see any updates from it and I came across this news “Fifth year grabbing gold at Kancil Awards“Stated there:
Phang Kuan Hoong and Andrew Wong Pak Khing, both final-year Graphic Design students, won the gold award for their joint entry, which was inspired by the famous Hollywood flick, Internal Affairs. According to Phang, ?the idea came about when some friends were discussing about a particular scene from the movie, and I saw some potential in it and we did it!?
Wtf? He dare to say that statement? When some friends were discussing about that scene? I saw some potential in it and we did it? It’s my boy who came out with that idea and planned to do it with Yong. But on the discussion day, he was away so Yong shared the idea with the group cos somehow we need Pat approval (and that Phang was like her assistant) to execute the idea since we asked Pat to guide us so can send under college and free and that Phang is the surprised thing, first is like her assistant in the end his name was inside at least 5 entry. -__-” At that time both of them just like ok ok and then suddenly move on to Phang’s own idea for the other video which starring a few of us in a very stupid way. Then my boy thought wanna video it with Yong, Bisma and the other friend but somehow tak jadi. -__-” Last minute before deadline only we knew that Mogando was sent and that fella do the video editing. Alright, now we shall thank him for executed it else there won’t be 2 Gold.
Oh my.. You might think that I’m over sensitive, over react after read that. But 8 weeks time work together with him is enough. I gotta control myself and stop talking bad about him. But I just can’t stop that once I see him so lan si, so show off and talk that way. Ugh… Gotta pull him back down to earth, back to reality.
And now I think he is telling the whole world that this two gold is because of his idea. Ah well, what happened has happened. Such a sad case. If only there is a self initiative to do it ourselves. Another lesson to learn. Idea thing is just so, how to say, I can claim its mine, you can claim its yours, but the owner know it the best. Advertising oh advertising.
Pusing deh gw.
Last week I was chatting with my Medan friend and she told me a kinda shock me news about my passion. There is a pirated version of Teh Botol Sosro in Indonesia! currently in Java only if I not recall wrongly.Thanks to some lower class people in Java who steal the bottles from Teh Botol factory for some reason (economy problem or stuff if I not recall it wrongly), input the tea that they made themselves which somehow taste the same with the original one and the color looks alike also! Then they got machine to pack the bottle’s lid and Ta – da~! Teh Botol Sosro pirate version, same color, same taste. Where did machine come from ya?
Therefore, people was advised not to buy Teh Botol Sosro at warung – warung along the street. Aiyo. That’s what makes Teh Botol great. From a home made tea become available in whole Indonesia, from kampung to city. Normal price around Rp.3000,- to abnormal price which can cost 3x or more cos it was sell in hotel or what. And now, I got to be careful and not to buy it from warung. But if it really looks alike and tastes the same, why not? Hehe. I have been buying a lot of pirate stuffs what. Upsi… But well, the reason of me buying pirate stuffs is because the original one cost way too much. While Teh Botol, price is the same. Original one is the best. But, I don’t know how to differentiate the pirate one. -__-” Let’s hope that the pirate one no longer and won’t exist anymore.
I can’t believe that tea also got pirate one. She even told me that toothpaste also got pirate one, like Pepsodent which is so famous in Indo (like Colgate in Malaysia) and kinda cheap also. -__-” Thanks God I’m not using Pepsodent.
If can’t make fake money then go and make fake famous products and get real original money from there. What else can’t be pirated in this day ah? Duh..
Teh Botol from Mark. I wish this one bottle can refill by itself. =P I just notice the lid, written there Medan – Indonesia. Wow!
Yeah! Water is officially back yesterday evening around 7pm. Can cook, can wash, can boil water, can bath, can go pee, can flush and so on peacefully. *happy happy*Lesson to learn from this experience, always check the letterbox for bills, don’t leave it for the housemate in charge.
Next time when I see the house bill is exceeded hundred ringgit which means haven’t paid for months, don’t hold on to ask the housemate in charge of bill payment whether he/she has pay or not. If not yet paid, do ask him/her to pay the bill ASAP!! as I have already pass him my $ part. Ignore the bad feeling that it will cause him/her feel no trust from me. Ask something won’t do harm on me. The result of not asking is more harm, no water, no internet. Oh my.. Hopefully there won’t be any electric cut.
If I am the one who is in charge, do pay the bill monthly and don’t wait until it becomes a big pile of money mountain which will be hard to pay all at the same time.
What we scare of finally come. After saw the latest bills of streamyx, electric and water, each costs RM300-400 sth don’t know how many months not yet paid, yesterday afternoon my house officially run out of water or I should say that it was cut by the water department already. -__-”Yesterday afternoon I was doing laundry, turn on water, put detergent, soaked clothes, all the routine, and I left it there once the machine started to work already. About one hour later I remembered about my laundry, so I walked over there but what I got was it stop at the second time washing cos no water came out. I thought something wrong with the pipe. I turn on water tap at the kitchen thought wanna boil water but DRY! No water!!
Later on the housemate left a note that the house water kena cut but he already call and settle the bill. He should have done this years ago. They will connect it back tomorrow morning which is today but just now when I on, still no water. Duh! Luckily yesterday me and my boy did save the water in the bathroom. For this time I’m so glad that the bathroom doesn’t use shower but a small how to say water tank or wateva la. Update: according to the housemate, water will back on 5pm. Hopefully it is true. Oh my I can’t imagine if one day the earth really out of water and we have to exchange the time of using water. Do use water wisely from now on.
After streamyx kena cut and we have to use my boy’s streamyx which means share the time usage with his family, one daytime one nightime, the housemate went settle the bill. Now is the water turn. Is the electric’s turn gonna come soon? Oh no please. Hopefully he gonna settle the bill faster. Not like I didn’t pay him the bill. Sigh.
The problems that always occur with housemates are money (bill or house payment) and house’s cleaning (the lazy habit of sweeping, cleaning, throwing house rubbish to the outside big bin as if they got maid in the house -__-”). Sometimes when tell them about it, will cause some bad feeling which always make me serba salah. Sigh.
