Why DIY is so popular here....

I called up the realestate agent office to inform them about the faulty water heater.

The receptionist asked if I had tried to reignite the pilot flame as the water heater operates on gas. She then told me that she could telephone the plumber to come and have a look, but if the issue can be solved by just pushing the correct button then I will need to pay for the call out fee. The landlord will only pay the cost of repair if the heater was proven to be faulty.

I told her that I had tried to do so for almost two hours last night, so I don't think I could revive the heater. I asked her if I were to pay the cost, how much would it be.

"80 dollars." She answered.

冬天也有成就感

拜昨晚的强风所赐今早没热水冲凉。

冬天的冰冷让我放弃与冷水搏斗。

腐朽的热水器让我失望。

可是下班后无论如何都得洗头。

洗掉尘垢后剩下的竟是冬天洗冷水澡的成就感。

落雨聲



落雨聲
專輯:世紀紅歌 演唱:江蕙
詞:方文山 曲:周杰倫


落雨聲 哪親像一條歌
誰知影 阮越頭嘸敢聽
異鄉的我 一個人起畏寒
寂寞的雨聲 捶阮心肝

人孤單 像斷翅的鳥隻
飛袂行 咁講是阮的命
故鄉的山 永遠攏企置遐
阮的心晟只有講乎山來聽

來到故鄉的海岸 景色猶原攏總無變化
當初離開是為啥 你若問阮阮心肝著疼

你若欲友孝世大嘸免等好額
世間有阿母惜的囝仔尚好命
嘸通等成功欲來接阿母住
阿母啊 已經無置遐

人孤單 像斷翅的鳥隻
飛袂行 咁講是阮的命
故鄉的山 永遠攏企置遐
阮的心晟只有講乎山來聽

來到故鄉的海岸 景色猶原攏總無變化
當初離開是為啥 你若問阮阮心肝著疼

你若欲友孝世大嘸免等好額
世間有阿母惜的囝仔尚好命
出社會走闖塊甲人拼輸贏
為著啥 家己嘸知影

你若欲友孝世大嘸免等好額
世間有阿母惜的囝仔尚好命
嘸通等成功欲來接阿母住
阿母啊 已經無置遐

哭出聲 無人惜命命


**********************


在空蕩蕩的公寓裡,對著這段MV放聲大哭。

為著啥 家己嘸知影

哭出聲 無人惜命命

Sayangilah Ibu Bapa Anda Sebagaimana Mereka Menyayangi Anda Waktu Kecil

今朝通勤中同僚のマイクさんとバス停で遭遇した。雑談の間、マイクさんは自分の両親が去年他界し、二人とも八十歳を超えたから意外なことではないだろうと、淡々として語った。

話を聞いてて、なぜか先週旧お正月のころUSJ Subang Jayaの街で撮った看板の写真を脳裏に浮かべた:



Adore your parents the way they adored you when you were small

子供のころ両親に可愛がられたように両親を可愛がれ。

正如儿稚时你被父母疼爱一样的疼爱你的父母。
