Flooded day

Today woke up and found that the area where it was wet last night, was more wet. As usual, we had our breakfast at the dining table and CT found that the floor was wet as well. After careful checking, we realised that water was coming from our neighbour's place.

At about 8am plus, I called the office and reported. I went to the car after that to check on the rented car mileage to report back to Avis (something which we have to do consistently). CT did not drive today..so the car was home. I went out and met my neighbour who just moved in few days ago. She told me her place is flooded. No wonder my floor is wet.

When the maintenance guy came, they were walking in and out of my apartment to go out and check at other apartments. They told me it is due to some pipe leakage and we are not allowed to use our kitchen sink and dishwasher as it causes the leak.

Later in the morning, the floor was getting more flooded. I put newspapers everywhere to soak it up but within some time, it was soaking wet. I got more towels to put as well..and again, it was totally drenched. I called Gek Teng and apologised for not being able to visit her in the day as I explained that there were people going in and out my place which made it inconvenient to leave.

After they finally left at 4 plus pm, they told me that they would be back again in the morning and asked me to clear everything in the kitchen cabinet as they would be taking it down to access the pipe. Good grief.

I quickly pack the stuff in boxes and prepared dinner. Since I did not have much time to cook...I made spaghetti with tomato, minced beef, mushrooms and onions.

I was cleaning up the house and clearing all my wet newspapers as I did not want CT to come home looking like a war torned area. So, I quickly clean up the mess and soaked up the water with my sponge.

The water was cold and dirty..take a look!

After clearing the water, I cleaned the floor with soap and dried it with a clean dry towel. When CT came home, we went over to Kok Fong's place to cook our spaghetti as we cannot use the kitchen sink..So it is more convenient to cook there and wash up.

After dinner when we got home, the floor was once again flooded. I was tired and sad cos I spent the late afternoon cleaning up on my knees and it was back to square one. So, CT offered to clean up and asked me to rest. So while he was cleaning, guess what I did?? Haha..take pictures--what else??

Before we slept, we placed towels where the water is seeping out from so that it would not be so flooded the next morning. I just wish this would end soon..
