Stupid neighbours
Posted on May 31, 2006 - Filed Under Uncategorized
I hate it when a person accuses another person for their wrong doings when the accusers themselves are at fault. What I am trying to say here is, if you don’t know head or tail who is in the wrong then shut your pie hole up.
Last night – around 10pm, I realized the lights in my house were flickering and it was really bad that at one time all my pcs restarted. Earlier in the day, the power wasn’t that stable too but the flickering wasn’t that bad. My mum decided to call up Tenaga, to see what’s going on. I can frankly say, most government servants who tend to receive our calls are really a pain in the ass. Wait …. Isn’t Tenaga being privatized ? I am not sure either but that’s not the point. Here’s the conversation between my mum and the evil Tenaga lady:
MuM: Hello saya nak buat aduan tentang electrik rumah tidak stabil
Evil Lady: Elektrik dalam rumah atau lampu jalan ?
MuM: Hah? Lampu dalam. Dia selalu ‘flicker’ dan computer pun restart beberapa kali
Evil Lady: Kalau macam itu, panggil kontraktor rumah, itu semua bukan hal kami
MuM: Hah? =_=”
My mum decides to hang up after getting nothing out of that lady. I think my mum would rather talk to the wall than to ever talk the ‘evil lady’. So anyway, my mum called again but dialing a different extension and this is what I heard.
MuM: Hello saya nak buat aduan tentang ….
Not-so-evil-lady: Oh dekat rumah doctor itu ya?
MuM: Eh ? Yaya, betul. Tenaga sedang buat ‘maintainance’ ke ?
Not-so-evil-lady: Ya, kita akan tutup saluran elektrik dalam masa 5 minit. Kami akan pasang balik selepas 45minit.
MuM: Oh, mengapa tak hantar notis ?
Not-so-evil-lady: 45 minit saje, tak kan itu pun nak hantar notis ?
MuM: Macam itu ? =_=” ($%^%$&$^*&&%*$*#% - if it was me 
)
So then the power went off and it was back like how she promised. But then things became worst at night. Like I was saying earlier it started flickering again at 10pm. And we were greeted by this Tenaga people. There were only 2 of them and they asked me if they could check the wiring. As they checked, my left side neighbour appeared and they kept staring at me. At first I thought I had ice cream on my face or something, cause I was busy digging my baskin 
but after a closer look, I could see the anger in their faces. So mum comes out and she went straight and talked to them to see what the matter is. They claimed, when we renovated the house, we didn’t do the wiring properly and that it has eaten the wire causing her house to have no electric. OK, so fine with those allegations. I did think that she could be right but I wasn’t a stupid ass that I was going to admit. I told my father to stay inside cause I know in this kind of case, my father will just admit it and try stay cool but hell no man. Me and my mum stood there firmly guarding the door, just to make sure he doesn’t appear.
After thorough inspection and cutting and re-joining wires, they concluded that the wire had exploded and needed to be replaced and for that they would need their emergency crew to come over. So we waited for an hour or so and they arrived. I was already so sleepy at that time and when they arrived, I thought why did Tenaga sent Ghostbusters over. They were all heavily equipped with gadgets hanging from any possible part of the body. And their head came over and told
Head: Boy, I am going to knock a hole through, to replace the wire and to do that I am going to off the current.
Me: Yeah sure, do what’s necessary.
Head: One more thing, when I say I am going to off the current, I meant I was going to off the whole street
Me: WTF ??? =_=” (of course I didn’t say that)
In no time, the other neighbours left theirs oven-like houses and one by one came over to my house wondering what was happening. The Tenaga people were doing their job fast. Frankly I was expecting them to be sloppish and maybe smoke more than even bothering about the job. But they proved me wrong, not on the smoking part but on their work ethics. They were off course smoking non stop but their task was also done in a non stop manner. After 1 hour plus, they said they were done and they were ready to switch the main box on, for the current to come in. When they did that, I could see, one by one the houses started lighting up – it was like some fancy light show
This is how it looked after replacing the wires. Those big chunky black thingy are called ip6
But guess what, after all that work they did, the replacement of the wires, the cutting, the joining, the smoking; my neighbours on my left was still left in the dark ! Now, would you want me to explain more or is it so damn clear that who is at fault ? the so called Ghostbusters who were already all packed up, were so reluctant to get down from their truck. It was after 30 minutes of God-knows-they-did in their house, they lights turned on. Tenaga people said they must have used something that caused the problem. So to my left side neighbours, eat my shoes !
