Opss! Sorry... I flushed you!

Relating to the previous tips, there's a case in UK regarding a kid flushed influshable item in his toilet. Accidentally though, the item was an alive creature, which happened to be his cute puppy.

It dawned on me that an innocent child with a pure heart, in his effort to give a hand for help, ended up causing his beloved puppy get trapped in waste pipe. As a parent, I learn a lesson here: Never leave my child unattended. As being naive as they are, their creativity & eagerness to learn new things might be beyond our imagination.

Read this and I'd love to hear your comment, if you have one... See u.

UIA Gombak... and tips

Syukur... setelah 2 hari 2 malam 'berkhemah' di UIA Gombak, akhirnya siaplah kerja2 tersebut. Kepada team members yang sama2 'berkhemah' di sana dan dah jadi ala2 zombie :) sebab tak cukup tidur, terima kasih banyak2. Kami juga amat menghargai kerjasama En. Muhd. Faizal dari 2F VENTURES SDN. BHD., right from the very beginning until the final touch up. Bro Faizal... tabik spring la sama lu!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nak sambung sikit tips untuk menghalang paip tersumbat, dan ni specific untuk saluran paip toilet. Kami perhatikan, kes2 paip toilet tersumbat banyak disebabkan oleh terkumpulnya bahan2 buangan seperti diapers, tuala wanita dan tisu. Alangkah bagusnya kalau kita boleh mendisiplinkan diri, sediakan tong sampah di toilet, buang bahan buangan tadi ke dalam tong sampah, dan pastikan flush hanya bahan yang 'flushable' sahaja.

Kepada pembaca yang pernah tinggal di asrama, agak2nya, antara Asrama Wanita & Asrama Lelaki, asrama mana yang lebih kerap berlaku toilet tersumbat? Masa saya tinggal di asrama dulu, Asrama Wanita paling kerap tersumbat dek kerana tuala wanita.

Jadi, timbang-timbangkanlah. Sentiasa remind diri sendiri dan orang2 yang tinggal bersama dengan kita, supaya berdisiplin. Sebab, kalau satu hari anda urgent nak guna toilet, tiba2 toilet tersumbat, sapa yang susah? Adakah mereka & keluarga mereka yang susah? :)

Happy Birthday...

Hmmm... yummy... the cake looks gorgeously tempting. Sent together with wishes, "Semoga panjang umur murah rezeki. Semoga sentiasa mendapat keberkatan dari Ilahi." Yes, it's a bithday cake... but not for a 5-year-old kid (as represented by the 5 cute candles), it's for our 44-year-old determined-yet-friendly boss. (Not enough space to put all 44 candles on it.. huhuhu).

The cake was sent to Kota Damansara, and today En. Sapri was at UIA Gombak monitoring plumbing project there. He'd only be back at late evening. Rather than leaving the cake unattended and losing it's original fresh taste, we gave it's large portion to the nearest mamak stall (selalu lepak sana minum teh tarik) and we finished the rest.

"TQ.. but I won't be back. Pls finish the cake. It's not 'bout the cake. It's 'bout the wishes & the thoughts. And all the cooperation that u guys have given me. TQ," said En. Sapri, as he continued drilling, and the drill machine roared louder.

It's true.. it's not the cake. It's the wishes & the thoughts that counts most.

"Happy Birthday"

Do It Yourself

Atan bersalaman dan mengucapkan terima kasih kepada plumber yang dah siap repair kerosakan pam toilet di rumahnya. Dalam hatinya berkata, "Hai... melayang duit aku RM150. Padahal bukan susah sangat nak repair. Kalau la aku boleh repair sendiri, kan bagus..."

Anda pernah jadi macam Atan? Actually, anda boleh repair sendiri masalah paip yang simple. Di mana ada kemahuan, di situ ada jalan, betul tak? But of course, kalau anda tak tahu pasal plumbing tapi nak cuba repair sendiri, kena la menuntut ilmu dulu. Jangan pula jadi "tikus membaiki labu". Nanti paip tu pula yang repair anda :).

Konsep Do-It-Yourself memang dah popular di negara barat, berbanding di negara kita, konsep ni masih kurang famous. Mungkin kos servis di negara kita masih lagi rendah dan tak perlu fikir panjang untuk dial nombor telefon plumber (contoh: Sapri Plumbing, kami mengenakan caj servis yang amat berpatutan :)). Di negara barat, kos servis agak tinggi, maka mereka pun terpanggil dengan konsep DIY.

Jadi.. kepada pembaca yang suka konsep DIY plumbing, kami syorkan anda baca buku2 ni:
1) Do-It-Yourself For Dummies (Donald R. Prestly)
2) Better Homes and Garden: Plumbing Step By Step (Meredith Corporation)


Ada di bookstore berdekatan. Tapi saya tak pasti berapa harga pasaran


Di samping merujuk pada buku, rujuk juga pada mereka yang tahu tentang plumbing ok. Jangan terjah je... bahaya tu. Selamat membaca & selamat mencuba.
