The water closet in my bedroom broke down sometime back and it kept leaking after each flush. We tolerated it for awhile before we got the plumber in to fix for $45. After the fixing up I sent gentle reminders to all folks at home to remind them that to take extra tender loving care to the flush everytime they finish their big & small businesses. That includes several reminders & correction if I hear violation from outside the toilet door.
You see, it happens that the PC desk is located right in front of the bathroom and when I sit down to engage in internet business I would hear the flushing process if anybody uses it. That will include the pulling of the lever (which will give off a creaking, followed by the flush then the WC refilling again). I am extra sensitive with the almost dying lever cos if no extra care was given to position back the lever after use, the WC would leak the entire day. And I mean it, leak for as long as it likes, refuse to fill up the tank, cut off water supply but leak on and on.
Scene A
Me: (Sitting in front of PC surfing).
Terror Chicken (TC): Walks into toilet, do business & flush.
Me: Heard the extreme hard pull on the lever, loud creaking.
Me: Walks out to the living room, tell mum that WC lever is abused again. Walked back to PC.
Mum: Nags generally that lever should not be pulled with force, will spoil.
TC: Came out from bathroom & walks to room.
Bro: Makes comments in nasty tone of voice saying TC pulls lever gently. (hello, I am not deaf & I am sure it was not so a gentle flush).
Me: walks to living room & told off brother. Telling him properties at home every1 plays a part to maintain it & I have sent reminder before. I am not a personal maid whoms is at home all the time going into the bathroom everytime to check if you have everything in place after its used.
TC: Heard me, SLAM HER ROOM DOOR!!!
Bro: Gets up from sofa, walks into his bedroom minutes later.
Scene B
Moments later, room door opens, TC crying loudly, kicking a fuss, talking with sobs in between.
Mum: Walks to her room door, sees her packing her bag.
Mum: Ask her what's wrong. She raise her voice & says "Karen says I spoilt the WC"
Hello~ Did u phrase the statement wrongly? I said "Pls handle the WC with care". If that can go into your chicken brain gets processed and registered as "Karen says I spoilt the WC" I think you really need to get some medical help.
TC: (cont) I also miss my mum 1 okie? *Hello here again, the issue here is WC, not kinship. I have a very close relationship here with my mum & it is openly exhibited at home. If it's a sore on you & you do miss your mum as well, visit her in Malacca. It is not difficult a task to take a bus or plane back or even a simple phone call. And hello for the 3rd time, it is not as if my mum does not dotes on you. She treats you like half a daugther as well okie? She cookes chicken specially for you because you do not eat pork, she cooks dishes & boils soup that you "can" eat every Friday when we eat one-dish meals for the rest of the weekdays. If this is not special attention she is providing, then can you please tell me WHAT?
I think this is a serious issue getting out of hands at home already. Yes, the relationship management I am talking about. If you cannot contain your grieves and unhappiness between yourself and your boyfriend (i.e my brother) then put things to a stop. I do not like to see 2 homosapiens hanging out with no aims in the living room and bedroom for a total of 53hrs a week. Which the only activities you engage are: -
1. TV watching
2. Showers taking
3. Small talks between yourselves
4. Big bedroom fights!!! (Crying included, note: not batteries here)
5. Playing wild & laughing screaming fun that causes your neighbours to think that you are insane.
6. Hiding inside the bedroom for several hrs when your bf washes his 2nd wife
7. Going out for meals
8. Obliging to occasional invitation family outing which includes me, my mum & my aunts.
9. Impromptu events which only happens on full moons or if an eclipse takes place.
Folks I have enough said. I should go gobble down 2 litres of ice cold H2O for I need hydration from the temperature that raised from maddness from ACCUSATION. And a worked metabolism having to claim myself down and not able to retaliate. Miss Terror Chicken, thank your chicken god that I do not have a shot of H5N1 in my hand, I am sure you do not want to come down with sick flu I am sure~.
oh P/S: after all her 一哭二闹三回家, and a satisfying MacDonalds meal. Miss Terror Chicken is sitted comfortably in the living room sofa in front of the TV set with her leisure TV viewing. This mingled chick herself can only crop up in her room, writting into her virtual space to vent out the excess. Hello Miss TC, you've got the upper hand now. Happy? No more of such wayangs I say. I respect you as a being, I did not pick up a fight in front of you when U said "Karen says I spoilt the WC". If it was not for inner peace within OUR 4 walls here, my character does not allow such rare opportunities of cat fight slips.
Double P/S: apology to the remaining folks at home i.e. mum & aunt for having to absorb some of my grieves when TC and gang was out. My mum had to be the meat patty when issues like this rise always. Very hard on her. Poor mama~
