Leaking Toilet 2

After I complained about the leaking toilet problem to the developer, they sent 2 plumbers to take a look at it.

They first checked the water pressure for 15 mins but it didn't drop, so they ruled out the pipe problem. They suggested me not to use the toilet for a week, if no more leaking, then it has to be the floor problem.

After a week, they found it strange that the bathroom downstairs still leaks. The only possibility now is thewater actually came from the air-con pipe. They then suggested me not to switch on the air-con and cover any gap between tiles with water proof cement.

When I went to hardware shop, they told me that water proof cement is sold in 25kg, and only used under the tiles. This means that the floor must be hacked. As I try not to do any hacking, I bought a liquid sealant and squeeze the whole 500ml bottle into all the holes i could find between the tiles. Not feeling that this will work, I went bought another water proof sealer. First covered the holes with white cement, waited for a day to dry, washed the floor, waited for another day to dry and applied the sealer 3 times.

Ta...da...Look at the tiles, it's still wet and shining.


























I have sacrificed many days trying to fix this thing, just hope it will work.

Will see...

Bad Day

I had a bad day yesterday. I upset somebody and I felt bad about it. On the other hand, I have done my best. These few days I woke up feeling like shit, wanted a break but couldn't and really stressed out.

Last night my mind was full with lots of 'what if...', what if i won 12 millions....what if...

Now I just want to sing 2 songs 'Bad Day' and '半斤八两'...

My brother just told me about his ex-colleague who is a good photographer. Check out his travelling photos at www.seemingphoto.com. The pictures are awesome. This guy is a good designer too. Photos are put into album and looking at them can be quite therapeutic. I had a bad day today but feel much better after enjoying some of the photos. I think this guy is so good that can be a National Geographic's photographer.

I really feel like getting myself a dSLR soon...

The Prestige

I just watched 'The Prestige' last night. The ending is 'good', good as in so unexpected, really lives up to its name - 'prestige'.


























Watching 'The Prestige' reminds me of David Copperfied. I remember that I didn't like to watch magic shows other than DC's when I was small. He made other magicians' tricks looked cheap. I can still remember him walking through the Great Wall of China; making the Statue of Liberty disappear; escape from a chained raft while being hung above Niagara Falls. Sometimes he liked to make the audience think that he failed, but suddenly appeared from the other end. That was the prestige, and he is the master of it.

Anybody knows how he did all these? Did he used a double? owned a Tesla machine or a teleporter? May be the one who was being chained to the raft was his double. More interestingly, I wonder if he lives a life like Angier or Borden; constantly looking for new tricks; worry about others trying to steal his tricks; keeping secrets from others...

Perhaps only DC knows...

Nice Pictures

These days I always try my best to take good photographs. I like to use natural light whenever possible so that it looks natural and the original feeling is preserved. Some are not badly taken but most of the time the results are still not what I wanted.

It's really not easy to take good photographs. Not only that photography skill is essential, it also requires a lot of time to observe the environment and patience to wait for the right moment. It's especially hard to catch the best moment of an event, once you missed it, that's it. This is why I hate taking photos for someone's wedding, I feel bad for taking lousy photos for other's big day.

Today I came to know about this photographer called Louis Pang in Kenny Sia's blog. I like his photographs because of his style, and he takes fantastic wedding photos. They look so natural and the angles are excellent. I think that these photos are more natural than those taken in studio. The best thing is, when the pictures are nice, the persons in it don't have to be good looking but still look good too.

Check out his blog for some nice photos [I have also added the link in my blog so that I can check it out every now and then to 'tou si' (learn secretly from the master)].
