The Day The Sink Strikes

For a year, our sink took everything we poured into it. We brush teeth, wash cups and rinse feet on it. But one day, it can't compromises anymore and refuses to accept our water. Having its revenge, it started to flood our room by vomiting stinky water.

Here's another little side story in our room. Last Friday, our sink suddenly got stuck after Zhengwei brushed his teeth before sleep. Initially we thought it's the U-pipe that stucked, but the next day we realised the situation was worse. stinky and dirty water started to flood out from the sink. It wasn't the U-pipe but the main pipe. Since our room is in the lowest floor, the waste water from upper floors was trapped and flooded out from our sink... How disgusting!

A repairman came when I went to class, but he recognized a pipe specialist is needed for the task and hence leaved us without any help. Luckily he left his spanner in our room.

So I removed the U-pipe so that the waste water can directly drop into a bucket instead of splitting everywhere wetting the carpet when the sink flooded.

In past few days, me and Zhengwei gained a full-time job as cleaner as we have to discharge the waste water from other rooms to toilet whenever the bucket is fulled.

Fortunately, the pipeman came today and finally fix the pipe. Phew... What a screw up experience...

Adelaide Too

Thanks to zw, I was able to tag him to Adelaide last week visiting his friend Szeyin. My very first impression of Adelaide on flight is flat, as there aren't many high buildings around. Harmonic and leisure, definitely a city to be loved.

Zw said he hardly able to describe our trips around Adelaide. That's for sure because we spent most of our time there hanging and fooling around. In fact we only visited half of the places I heard we 'planned' to go... Zw said it was a friend visiting instead of touring, and I'm totally agree with him. However I did enjoyed this relaxing and spontaneous trip.

Well of course you can't really reach destination in a rural place with just few lines on a paper. I still no idea how a such "without directional senses" me ended up being the navigator with a book of maps that I didn't even know how to read. I can't deny that this was the reason we went endless detours on our journeys. But, had fun though...

Photobucket

A memorable moment, not because of zw's peeing in the wild. But I almost lost our map and destinations list here, 60km away for city being too excited taking this photo. Thankfully zw found it opposite the road...

And my choice of best trip will be Victor Harbor. The main attraction of the island is observing penguins, which we only saw one (still unsure is it really penguin or a bird) because the penguin tours only available night and we have to leave before dark for safety. But we had fun trekking around the little graphite island, climbing rocks and taking photos.

Lastly, thank so much to Szeyin for accommodated me even just as a friend of friend. She is really a good host, who keep asking me do I have enough food every meal. I promised I'll promote her...

ps: They are not couple. I was looking forward for some showdown between the boyfriend and bestfriend but nothing happened. Too bad...
