Suay man...

Tried to do some laundry and the machine wouldn't go past the "spin" process. Pre-programed with 9 mins of spin mode, at the 7th min, machine would blink with life and "7" would flash continuously and I guess you can say the washer decides to 'hang' on me. We are used to this and usually to get round it, we would just switch it off and turn it back on again and manually set it at the program it last died in. It would work majority of the time. Today it wont let up, set on dying at 7, I repeated the spin cycle at least 3 times before I succeeded. I was actually quite worried about my clothes disintegrating in the washer.

Next, bad tummy ache, headed for my favorite bathroom which is also my parent's room. Once done, I felt a kg lighter and reach to flush it all down. Everything swells up and I took a step back alarmed at the rising water. Contents just wouldnt go down and I just created a mini pond in my parents' bowl. Trying to flush again at this point would be disastraous and guarantees evacaution. A flicker of hope when puddle slowly seeps down and I tried flushing again...no chance. This went on a few times and by now I was perspiring. Disgusting is the word of the day for me. I googled "how to clear choked toilet bowl" and read that pouring hot water helps. Sure, I will try anything that doesnt require me to have any contact with the shit.
Kettle of boiling water went in....boy...I was actually cooking that shit which looked crispy and the smell of it...I was convulsing and near fainting at this stage. I had to stop pouring because this time it was a boiling pond rising up.
My mom by now have sounded all alarm bells. It starts with totally not wanting to acknowledge the shit mess: "I dont know...dont tell me" to passing the buck: "you go and ask your father how to clear the shit" then finally helplessness: she passed me a handle taken off a pail. My gosh, stirring shit takes on a whole new meaning for me...even as I type this now, I'm making vomit sounds..but it did work. The moment I stir-fry them, everything just flowed through and the flush cleared remainder of the goo out.

Towards evening, I was home alone, felt hungry and made myself some kueh pie tees and cuppa hot coffee. I sat down in front of my comp surfing the net, munched up some crispy pie tees then suddenly the power went out. It was storming outside and I was in twlight darkness. The circuit kept tripping and I had some difficulty turning it back on and making sure it stayed on. By the time I was done flipping switches, my pie tees were soggy.

Today is the suay-est day indeed
