Mouldy bathrooms... I WIN!

Hey. So i am in the library right now, obviously not doing much work. But i looked up “mouldy bathroom” in google images, and got these two pictures:













This little blurb came with the picture on the bottom:

“The bathroom was particularly badly affected by condensation and mould growth. Following an inspection by the Local Authority's Environmental Health Department, a recommendation was made to re-house the family as soon as possible because of the housing conditions being 'prejudicial to health'. The family were moved to more suitable accommodation 3 months after these photos were taken.”

Please tell me why I wasn’t relocated due to conditions “prejudicial to health”!

But whatever reason it was, i just wanted to say to all you unsatisfied mouldry bathroom owners and patrons, that I win! One to nothing!

Hateful entry

So just to balance things out, this next entry is one of pure hatred. well maybe not pure... or hatred either. but still, i'm pissed. There's this stupid leak in our bathroom. As some might recall, i had this constant leak,a nd it soaked this one wall of my bathroom (drywall) and it got so bad, and was left there for so long that mold and MUSHROOMS started to grow (no, i didn't taste them). Here's some samples for your viewing pleasure:


So needless to say, I was pretty peeved back then, since they took more than 2 months to "fix" this problem. Notice the quotation marks. So the leak is back. and this time, it's like, 90 drops a minute kinda thing. so my bathroom wall is absolutely soaked and weak. I leaned against it and it caved in... mUahaHAhA! stupid wall... i WIN! but it's not over. the leak started leaking on the other side of the wall - my kitchen. so now nasty, putrid, brown water is leaking onto my kitchen floor, and now onto my living room floor. and it's been going since 4 days ago and the stupid property manager won't come to fix it. What I want to know is why there are so so so many imcpompetent property owners/managers. anyways, it's nasty. And i just had to rant. Thank you.

Happy entry

I was happy yesterday. happy... that's a yuppie word. anyways, I LOVE DELL (lame double-meaning joke?). cos they sent me over $250 worth of laptop parts (battery and 30GB HDD) for FREE! they cancelled the order, thinking they didn't have the 30GB HDD, but in fact, they had already sent it to me. so somehow along the process, they sent me stuff and never charged me. PLUS! it turns out the hard drive labelled as "30GB" turned out to be 60GB! who does that?!?! well i'm glad.

Another story. Sara O'Connor (previous employer at The Salvation Army) and I will be doing up this programme that deals with children of divorced parents and helps them with whatever. obviously, i don't really know anything about the programme, but i'm excited. Like, Transformers (a programme where we watch movies with kids on Saturday and just talk to them) was good and all, and i totally support it - but somehow i think i could be doing more or at least have a bigger impact through this upcoming thingie with Sara. Anyways, there are only a few kids right now, so maybe more will come. pray for me!

I do feel.

So, you know how I say i don't feel the normal range of highs and lows a normal person does? well, i'm feeling pretty shitty now. nothing close to "depressed"... just shitty. let me clarify: things are just looking kinda mundane now. school has started and i know it just goes downhill from here, in terms of workload, projects, and essays, of which i have TONS. knowing that i'm taking a heavier-than-normal courseload doesn't help jollify me at all either. i guess hockey this weekend might cheer me up. you see what kind of ephemeral, frivolous activities liven my day? i need to be rooted in something deeper. from birth, i've been told that it's God that i need to be rooted in. philosophy, biology, biochemistry, anatomy, and a whole bunch of other courses are telling me there is no such a thing, person, identity! more and more, i feel like i'm disbelieving. not spending time to think about Him and spend time with Him to be reassured. but how much of "quiet time" is just self-assurance and confirmation bias - us just falling into the trap of believing what we want to believe, but so subtly and inconspicuously does this happen, that we believe what we believe is the truth without due consideration ('cos such an issue as our FATE should indubiously be well thought out!). and no, i'm not remotely trying to sound philosophical, "chim", or intelligent (hmm... maybe just a little), 'cos i'm pretty sure the above makes not much sense - i'm just trying to straighten things out in my head. I wish things were simpler.

Just some random pictures... finally

If me and andrew were to form a band, this would be the album cover... minus the date... minus andrew's gaping mouth... and well, minus andrew.


Not sure what this is, but my sis did it.
