i was at home to rest but i ended up doing lotsa things.. LOL...

i was on leave today. dear stomach was playing rock n roll... i must have ate too much bananas. but what to do, i can finish a whole bunch of bananas when i see them.  *cue dialogue* "ni bukan gagah tuan, ni GELOJOH." padan muka aku mwahahahaha...!!

so i tot i'll just use the day to chill at home. but i did do work from home tau... don't see me no eye ah hahaha...!! i also ended up applying for the majlis maulud that we are organising inshallah in May. will invite you all when everything's ready inshallah.

the day was breezy (and rainy) till 3.30pm when the dad did his daily phonecall home from work. the phone only rang once, and it stopped. lucky thing mum was fast enuff when answering the phone. after the phone convo, i sensed something was wrong with the phones. oh yeah, i've got 3 phones at home. so can you imagine when there's a phonecall and how meriah the house will be when someone calls home? heh.

tried to do trial and error with every phone to check out what is wrong. used the handphone to call home, and as expected, one ring, and it stopped. ler, apahal lah pulak. then the troubleshooting started. plugging in and unplugging the phones and testing to find out which is the faulty one. i was scared if it were the lines that were faulty but then, the internet was working fine. so i guess one of the phones is faulty and it's affecting the other 2 phones. at last we managed to find the faulty phone and now the lines are working fine.

then just as i heaved a sigh of relief, i went into the room to do asr prayers, i switched on the ceiling fan, fan started turning, and suddenly the chain that we pull to turn the light on, just fell to the floor. and my heart fell to the floor too. i just forked 60 bucks to repair the fan last few months because the fan-chain dropped off. AND NOW IT'S THE FREAKING LIGHT-CHAIN. how to turn on the lights man like that? if only the lights were turned on, i dont freaking care abt the chain. but the lights were turned off.

i did my solat. after that, started fiddling with the fan. yes, i actually tore the ceiling-fan apart, thinking i could salvage the situation. but alas, the chain point is invisible. i knew this would cost me another 50 bucks coz the repairman will have to change the whole light kit. mangkok betol lah. if i knew this would happen, i would have just stuck on the kedai-kopi ceiling fan in my room. nak cantik punyer pasal, tapi tak bole lasak. apajer...

idea came into the mind. there's a flourescent light that is never used in the kitchen. unscrewed it from the kitchen wall, screwed it into my room's wall. fixed the bulb, plug it in, and voila, I SEE LIGHT. so that light is my savior at the moment.

already called the repairmen (con-men, i would say), as expected nearly $50 bucks to change the whole light kit just because of a detached light-chain. cekik duit orang betol. still is thinking of which one to take. one quoted me $43, the other quoted me $45. so what's the freaking difference? dont be surprised if one day i really pull this ceiling fan and stick the kedai-kopi fan in my room.

doing all that made me forgot abt my tummyache, farnie. it's only when i sat relaxing after the screwdriver-hammer-pliers session, the tummyache decides to appear again. but it's not that bad alhamdulillah. so i guess the reason for me staying home today is to be a part time repairman or woman for that matter hahahaha...!!!

haiz... benda nak jadik, sekelip mata je. ni lah lumrah dunia ehk....
