Baby when the lights go out.
one dark cloudy saturday evening
I was poring over the 11 page nightmare of the synopsis when the lights gave a flicker. I glared at the overhead light irritably, then leaned back and continued scrutinizing the pic of the sperm in front of me. The lights contemptously interrupted my concentration with another flicker and then i was plunged uncermoniously into darkness.
I groaned and trudged to teh kitchen> being one of the vertically challenged, i had to pop myself onto a chair to reach the circuit. The switch wasn't tripped. Bloody hell. external prob. Then lights then came back on. I sighed, returned to my room and continued reading the sperm. Then J9 and cx came back and the lights merrily went off again. cx was saying," er.. mebbe it's just me."
sorry to give crush his ego, but no.. it wasn't him. j9 and i groped around int eh descending darkenss for candles. a quick check outside told us that the problem was isolated to our unit only. I called angel for the thomson no. and managed to reach the 24 hour repair unit.. or so i thot. THe person on teh line was so bloody unhelpful.
" we can only page the electrician, we don't know how long it's gonna take"
I think i called the lady like 3 times, asking wat time the dude was gonna show. It was really relaly dark by then and j9 and i started making plans to evacuate. BLoody ozzies, knowing them, the electrician on call was probably drinking himself silly in the pub.
sigh, so much for the big plan to cover lotsa studying int eh weekned. holy cow.
Thanks aiai, char and lz for putting me up, would be sleepin gin princess park if it weren't for them.
I finished up studying fertilization at their place.
next morning
damn zombiefied. dman stressed. woke up at 5.30am..
rang teh stupid 24 hour line again and demanded to konw why the electriican didn't show at all the prev night. i was relaly really pissed. i think the lady was pissed at me too for ringing again and again. but BLOODY HELL. this is electricity ok??? it's listed as URGENT MATTER in the rent agreement. i've to STUDY my food is all ROTTING .
damn stressed. super pissed. nothing else to do but wait and pray..
well... as the diamond sutra stated... conditions do have a way of turning aroudn real fast..
the agent called and apologised .. apparently teh call center never put our pages thru.. only the last one went through. She was pretty mortified that we spent the night w/o electricity. In a flash, the everything was settled.. the electrician came and changed the fuse.. END of story and i betcha by the sounds of it, the ppl at the call center were gonna get it.
Whew, neway, didn't get much studying done. Had a stomach upset for the rest of sunday.. plus cramps. so basically spent the day curled up in bed wishing the medicine would hurry up and take effect. wat a combi to have.
hai.. that's my weekend
really lousy. but i guess it' s one of those experience that help strenghten you and help you grow.
... " i'll show you wat it's all about"
monday in school
yez, after week sof anticipation.. pbl was finally about my fav topic.. oh yeah.. SEX. besides everyone giggling and guffawing at teh ridiculous qn we had to ask the pts, and the ridiculous hypothesis and the very very interesting history of the pt.... mark was showing us how they measured ball size.. pretty interesting.. hwahaha.a..
rounded up by a a very very entertaining lecturer on old age and conditions.. wah. this guy should be a comedian. he turned a boring sounding lecture into a laugh fest.
