A Full of Lesson Morning

Well, I woke up a bit late this morning, actually only half an hour late than usual, as I was so sleepy. Guess I couldn't sleep well last night because of the fireworks == So after I read the daily bread and online-ing like usual, there was a blackout. With sigh expression, I did the usual procedure and filled the petrol into the generator. This was when the lessons started. I felt weird as there weren't any sounds of generator around my house, but I thought that it was because most neighbors didn't turn on the generator in the morning. So I kept trying to turn on the generator and it was unusuallly hard. I tried and tried for many times and at last it was on! But then my house was still in a  perfect darkness == My generator also sounded very weird, like it was going to explode. So I decided to turn off and told my mom about the conditions. But then, I decided to turn it on again. Before that, I saw my neighbor's maid and asked her whether there was blackout. She said no then I knew the problem already. Something was not right with my house.

So I told my mom and decided to call my dad and told him the situation. I was almost give up and tired, as I hadn't had my breakfast. But then my father tried to call electricians that he had known. The bad news was we had to wait till 2 pm. Oh God, I had my breakfast first and read the newspaper (still I got some time for this, huh?). Then I couldn't wait and do nothing anymore. I boldly tried to did the procedures when something like this happened. I called my dad for further instructions and told him my hypothesis (like really, hahax XD). Well, at least I understood a lil' bit of what had happened. The thing was that something was wrong with the third floor electricity. Well, I tackled my own hypothesis as my dad said that maybe the second floor electricity was having problem when I told him that the second switch wouldn't go up. My mom tried it, and it went up, hahax. So when I switched up the third switch, the electricity went out again. So the problem was on the third switch, and again, the hypothesis was tackled with new hypothesis which was the first floor electricity was having a problem. Beore that, actually I had called an electrician to check on this problem. So, I had a clear hypothesis to be proved on when the electrician came. When the electrician had come, I told him the problem and he did his work. He plugged off all the cables on the first floor. There was a cable that he forgot to plug off, and before I plugged it off, again, the electricity went out when he switched up the third switch, so that was the problem. To confirm our guess, he tried to turn on and plug on the switch and the cables one by one. Finally, we proved that the problem was on the lamp cables which I plugged off. The cause was very simple, the pineapple water was flowed to the base of the lamp. And that's it, problem solved!

The electrician was very kind that he wouldn't speak out the amount of payment. I asked my mom how much should I pay him. She said 25k IDR, but I couldn't find 5k, so I gave him 30k. Well, the epilogue. My mom said that yesterday, she had a plan on taking the pineapple and the lamps, to clean the praying table. However, she delayed it. Thank God she didn't get electrocuted =) I learnt a lot this morning. Learn to protect my mom. Learn to be patient. Learn nit to give up for you loved ones. Learn electricity a lil' bit, hahax. Learn to be grateful to Him =) Never ever give up on the problems that you face, as you'll see the rainbow after the rain!

What Should ... I Do?

Hello, it's been a month huh? Well, things are getting harder and harder as the day passes. Have passed the hectic weeks of preparing Chinese New Year and also the D-day, which was not a merry CNY. Everyone seemed to be very lazy to celebrate it. He has also come back to hometown since last week, after he finished his lovely skripsweet, hahax. Congrats to you, S.Ked boy =) 

Something's bothering me till now. One of my friends said that his mother is not in a good condition and talked about his father. Seriously, I was shocked when she said about his mother condition. I even couldn't concentrate of doing anything after I knew it. I just wanna meet him and ask him, but then I know him very well. He rarely talks about his family, and he is very good at hiding his problems and sadness. I just dunno what should I do next. She said that I should go to see his mom. I'll do it in these several days. I was so stupid that I wasn't questioning him when he said that he met one of our teachers at one of the hospitals in Medan. Why didn't I ask him on what purpose he went there? 

I know that maybe I'm just too exaggerated about this, but I dunno why I feel anxious about this. Just hope that everything's gonna be okay for his family. Amen...
