| 上個星期又再一次制水, 仲係一連六十個小時咁耐!! 算啦, 我都冇力氣再去埋怨喇, 反正個水泵整咗九千幾次都仲係未整好, 下一次再制水都會係俾同樣一個理由.. 反而呢一次制水成三日, 就親身見證到原來左鄰右里都相處得好和睦喎.. 派水車嚟嘅時候大家自動排隊, 絕對冇爭先恐後, 而且每人自動自覺每次最多取兩桶水.. 排隊等取水嘅時候, 除咗互相幫忙托水, 大家仲閒話家常.. 呢三日內, 大家沖涼都要就住嚟沖, 連去個廁所都要三思, 一桶水可以多個用途, 實在係無所不節省其極!! 所以話, 我哋平時睇落係彼此冷漠相待互不相干, 但係一有咩事發生, 就往往可以好團結好和睦咁相處.. 這就是我們馬來西亞人的態度喇~~ :) |
| we experienced yet another water disruption last week, for as long as 60 continuous hours!! sigh, but i am already sick of making a fuss out of it, afterall the water pump has been repaired for 9000-over times and still repairing, if there is another water disruption, likely they will give the same reason again.. instead within that three days of water disruption, i realized people in the neighborhood can actually be quite harmonious.. when the water truck arrived, everyone lined up automatically and there was no fighting for water, besides everyone deliberately limited themselves to take two buckets of water.. while waiting for turns, people didn't mind helping each other to carry the buckets, and of course people started to chat.. within those three days, taking shower has to be brief, even when there's an urge to tinkle or poop we think if that's necessary, and one pail of water can be used for many purposes, so long as to save water anything could be done!! hence i say, we may seem to be only minding our own businesses, but when some things happened, many times the people would easily unite and stay together harmoniously.. ah, that's the malaysian attitude i guess?? :) |

Good (hazy) Monday morning, SK!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I read about the pump in WM being down and I thought it was an old story. That must have been another inconvenient round of taps running dry.
DeleteIn times like these, good neighbourliness goes a long way.
Also, in these hazy and stuffy days, H2O is what we need most (besides clean air). Glad the taps are back to normal.
Deleteyes, it was and is still an old story but the water disruption is like forever and always fresh!!
DeleteGood morning SK...
ReplyDeletegood day sharon :)
DeleteGood to know that despite the inconvenience, you and your neighbours act well and very neighbourly to each other, SK.
ReplyDeleteyes, i was utterly surprised.. i actually expected that i have to take the empty pails and run at 9.9km/s to the water truck and fight for a place in the queue!! but nope, that wasn't the case.. :D
DeleteI experienced more than two weeks of water disruption before.
ReplyDeleteit sure is a pain to deal with. :(
two weeks!! OMG, i really cannot imagine that.. the worst i had experienced was one week, and that was back in 1998..
DeleteThe worst I experienced was during Form 4, when I was studying in Melaka.
DeleteI think it was three months of no water due to drought. Our school like many homes there, resorted to digging well. We used well water to bath and cleaning. Those with boyfriends were lucky ad their boyfriend helped them carry their buckets of water to the dorm. :-D
1998...
DeleteI experienced it too.
I was staying at Jln Genting Klang that time.
your Form 4 was around 1990-91 is it?? haiyoh, three months no water?? how to survive?? did they send water truck to the campus?? i cannot imagine, complaining already for three days here, and you suffered three months!! Thambee faints.. oh, you were staying in Jln Genting Klang in 1998?? i was living there from 1982-1994!! only in 1995 we moved to Wangsa Maju..
DeleteWe used well water. Like orang dulu-dulu.
DeleteEveryday, everyone smell like tanah. Lol
I used to stay at Teratai Mewah apt. Ofis was at ACF Jln Genting Klang. :-D
Good morning SK and all. Today is Monday. I swear I must not let anyone or any situation ruin my day and days ahead. I have to in control of any situation and not let situation control me. Anay taught us one.
ReplyDeleteNo water supply for 60 hours. It was not easy for not feeling down and frustration. But then good to know you and neighbourhood are so cooperate and kind to each other.
DeleteYo! Our Baking Queen has sworn not to allow any ghosts to upset her. So she will control all the situations now. VERY GOOD!!! I was being driven up the walls too many times until I read this wise line to CONTROL THE SITUATIONS.
DeleteDrink water when I get mad! Thambee got no water at home for 60 hours!! Goodness that is super crazy!
very good, Mak Yannie has very high EQ now that she is controlling herself and not allow anyone affect her mood.. i think this this is rather cool..
DeleteAnay drink water when you get mad?? hey, cannot drink too much of water also, you can get water-intoxicated!!
Too many people, over-populated. Some places, blackouts are frequent as the supply can't cope with the number of new houses all over. Well, count your blessings! At my daughter's rural school, they are dependent on the rain...and it has not rained for a long long time now... Sigh!!!!
ReplyDeleteoverpopulated isn't an excuse but the authority should have foresee this and have taken necessary steps to cope with it, sigh sigh!! oh, no wonder your daughter is bring back her laundry home for you to wash..
DeleteGood morning! The haze is most terrible today until the sun is orange right now like fried eggs for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI am dying for rain and water to pour from the skies!! Water is so important to keep every alive. I would scream and go berserk if got no for water for up to 60 hours!! So susah lah! How to bathe and berak?
Mau berak mau kencing mau mandi all tahan...go nearby shopping mall kau tim. For those who have gym membership then go gym lo...wat to do...syabas to everyone one in yhe neighbourhood lo.
DeleteGosh am do grumpy this morning. ..I should not spam. Cannot breath. Tata
yeah, the haze was terrible yesterday and i am glad that today it's a little bit better.. true huh, the sun was orange and looks so scary!!
Deletemeow is so true lah, Mau berak mau kencing mau mandi all tahan, hahaha!! just go to shopping mall and gym to use the facilities, since we have paid for that, haha!!
SK Thambee you had all the bliss growing up in the villages in Tiruchirapalli where abundance of water flows in the streams all the way to Ganges River! You used to bathe and dance naked with Kamala while she sang songs and washed laundry... Adoi! So sweet!...
ReplyDeleteWhat happened now? You chose to sail to Malaya to cari makan! I told you before that piped water is not reliable!! You should move to stay near the streams in Hulu Langat!
Anay!! you were the culprit who brought the little innocent Thambee enjoying the Ganges River all the way sailing to the Malaya!! now you are blaming me~~ @_@"
DeleteI know that I will probably not experience the water cut because I found out that the SYABASSS boss just lives 2 streets away from my home. Imagine if his house has no water for 60 hours, that would be a sick joke.
ReplyDeleteWah that could be a good news for you and your neighbors TM! You're so lucky! ;)
DeleteNot lucky.
DeleteRICH!
Muahaha
Think can simply live beside Syabas Boss house if not rich ke?
Kan Tan Sri? Kekeke
Saya sokong 100%!!! You hit the nail right on the head, Lina!!! Hehehehehe!!!!
Deleteaiyoh, how good huh??!! how i wish i am also rich enough to stay within the same neighbourhood as the Datuk and Datin, then for a strong guarantee there will never be blackouts and water disruption at all!!
DeleteWhat else is new? Every year same thing . No watee. Haze.
ReplyDeletePromise this promise that ...end up zero
Later if do cloud seeding then say no water. Water all gone into their pocket dei...
yalah, nothing is new here lah, all happens repeatedly and still the same old excuses given~~
DeleteMy housing area also water disruption for three days lo!!!
ReplyDeleteyalor, many neighborhoods were affected just because of that water pump!!
DeleteBut there's still have water from the pipe just that the water never goes up to the "water tank" so no water in the bathroom, need to carry the water from kitchen to use in bathroom!!! =[
ReplyDeleteyou mean the tangki ah?? hahaha.. we totally have not had any water left, so need to go take water from the water truck and carry them all the way home, and then all the way to the bathroom in 2nd and 3rd floor~~
DeleteSame with my sister, she has to carry the water all the way up to 3rd floor!!! =[
Deletethat's why thank you SYABAS for the good exercise huh, maybe we were 1kg slimmer after that!! :D
DeleteOh no, the same situation again! I hate it when there's no water supply. But we do get notice beforehand so I would normally store water pails after pails.
ReplyDeleteone day of disruption with notice beforehand is totally fine.. but three days of water disruption is too much, how much water can you store for three days right??
Deleteanother case? yaicks your post regarding such
ReplyDeletewas just months ago right? haha
months ago?? nope, i think it was like within just one month!! ridiculous~~
Deletewell, water pipes and pumps were I guess hard to fix
ReplyDeletewe still have this digging and road blocking our water provider
did due to such activities it's been years but still they were
still on process, different spots tho
oh really?? then it's even worse at your place huh?? the repair work were carried out for years and still not completed yet?? can't imagine..
Deletewell it was pipes after another, it seems a never
Deleteending process
in our case, there's no such problem, tho there would
ReplyDeletebe some water disruption here as well it would be for aday only
yeah, it's actually fine for one day but three days is a bit too much, it really causes lots of inconveniences..
DeleteIt's quite ironic cause there you are having water problems
ReplyDeletebut yet here we are celebration the feast of john the baptist which
is also known as water festival, people were splashing water
to everyone haha it sure is a wet and wild day here
hahaha!! ironic situations are everywhere i guess.. now that after the water disruption, we are suffering from the haze that comes from our neighbor country..
Deletewell, i was hearing of that case,
Deletewas it dangerous? what caused it anyway?
hmm As for me I think, I couldn't survive a day without bath
ReplyDeletehahaha, if it happened to me I'm sure that I would be able to
control my temper haha
never!! it really feels so weird to not have a shower even for a day!! i cannot take it..
Deletehope this would be fixed soon but as for now,
ReplyDeletehave a great day and happy blogging sk
take care and God bless you
yeah, the water supply came back on the third day actually but we still cannot use the water directly yet as it's still muddy..
DeleteGood morning SK!
ReplyDeleteHaze has finally attacked Perak!! Feel so sad leh... The clear blue sky looks so hazey and polluted now. And many people including small children are getting sick!! Grrr..... All thanks to our 'good neighbour'!! >=(
Opps looks like I am drifted away from the topic, hehe... Paiseh ha... :p
DeleteOh another water disruption?? Ish ish... so inconvenient right? Totally understand your feelings!
Haiyah complain also no use one la! Waste your effort and saliva only.
Glad to know that everyone are well-cooperative! You know I think that's one of the result after our GE! Must cooperate with each other to 'fight against the bad guys'!! Hehe ;)
Delete同心协力，共同患难~ 毕竟大家都是受害者。。
But no water for 60 hours is really a disaster!! I cannot imagine how! Some more the weather now is so so hot I need to bath at least 3 times a day!!
Deletehahaha, who is not talking about the haze now?? when you see anyone i guess the topic starts with how serious the haze is huh?? but Perak still moderate level, over here we are nearing the very unhealthy level already..
Deletevery true lah, if just one day of water disruption i am actually fine with it, but three days is too much!! luckily nothing unhappy happened when we queued up for water.. i was actually surprised~~ :D
On a positive note, things happened for a reason. Being neighbours you all probably don't know the each other even staying on the left or right, back or front. So this is the only watery opportunity for a successful 'getting to know you' project haha.
ReplyDeletehahaha, i guess it was just for that very moment that we "get to know each other".. when water supply was back to normal, everything went back to normal as well.. everyone back to mind their own business, hehe~~
DeletePerhaps you might hear people saying 'hei you are SK right? I have seen your avatar in blog/facebook etc' lolz
ReplyDeleteTrue lah!
DeleteThen SK will bask in his glemerness and forgot abou the no water inconvenince. xD
haiyoh, and the last time that happened was already long long time ago!! now, no one ever cam me out there lah~~ :D
Deleteaiyoh..without letrik also not so bad.. without water, cannot survive.. sticky sticky esp in this type of weather... There will be a water disruption of 18 hours near my area these few days... I also must fill up all my tubs first.. sigh..
ReplyDeleteyalor, really very inconvenient lah if no water supply.. cannot take shower, and even want to pee or poo also gotta think thrice!! 18 hours only, that's small mater lah, sure can store enough water, 60 hours is really no joke!!
DeleteIs there any dry cleaning powder available so as to replace showers then no need to worry about 60 hours without water?..hehe.
ReplyDeletehmmm, maybe Bananaz can invent something that can substitute water?? then sure you can be a trillionaire already!!
DeleteI'm late here...
ReplyDeleteHeard you mentioned it in your FB status. Very sien right?
DeleteGuess it is not the first time anymore. Everybody get used to it. That is why, people in your neighbourhood line up and get water without complaining and fighting.
DeleteI always feel water is the most important utility among all. Many things we can do with it. Even human can still survive with water even without food.
DeleteWah, 60 hrs is really a nightmare... Some more without notice. Sigh!
DeleteAfter all, it is a good thing that all the people there stay united and stay together harmoniously. This is what we want, always.
DeleteSo did you guys find out what is the reason being no water supply? Are they trying to get a bigger draining systems at your area. Guess they work it phase by phase.
DeleteNo choice right, what to do. Don't cook, no washing. But at least need to take a bath too right? hehehe
yalah, if just one day of disruption is totally fine because we always store enough of water.. but a three day water disruption is too much, how can you store enough water for that long?? boring lah, the last water disruption just happened like three weeks ago, and now again!!
DeleteWHERE IS SK AH BOY?
ReplyDeleteI want to complain he isn't replying to comments. LOL
aiyo why this Mak Rempinator so kan cheong?? slowly slowly only nicer mah~~ :D
Deletelina, SK is busy carrying pail and pail of water to mandi la!
ReplyDeleteSK already lost in the haze yesterday lah, haha!! :D
DeleteSK, why don't you go to gym? Sweat there, and then bath there. Berak there and pee there, before you go back to your house.
ReplyDeleteoh, even though i gym and sweat and shower in the gym.. i still need to take another shower when i reach home.. it's a habit lah, come back home from outside and i need shower, feel weird not to do that~~
Deletegot notice that my office was affected but still got water supply on those 3 days :)
ReplyDeletei think perhaps commercial buildings were not badly affected huh?? the management has huge water tanks to store water enough for few days i guess.. :)
Delete喂，落下閂水喉啊！！！
