The Door, The Ceiling and The Water
Monday, February 27th, 2006I got a room in sunway monash condo, but guess what, there’s a lot of things spoiled in that unit.
First of all, it’s the door. The side of the door was loose and the whole door is coming out and it can’t be closed. Besides, the lock is broken too. Which means even you force the door to close (you must kick the door), you still unable to unlock it! That’s incredible! People can just easily come in and steal our things.
Besides, the ceiling in our unit, all along the corridors and both bathroom is badly leaking. It’s because of the air-con water.
On 18th of Feb 2006, Saturday, one of the management come to our unit. So i show him all the spoiled part, the doors the ceiling, etc. He asked me to report them to him on Monday (they don’t work on Sunday). Well, he’s a friendly guy, so i decide to do what he told me.
But the sad incident came, on that night, it was raining cat and dogs, then while i was in the room, i heard a big “bang” sound. It freaks me out and i just open my door and saw the whole piece of ceiling at the bathroom (room is just opposite the bathroom, bad feng-shui) fall down on the floor. It was fortunate that no one was in the bathroom. The ceiling was break into small pieces at the edge, and you can see that how heavy is the ceiling.
So on monday, 20/2/2006, i was having my orientation in the early morning. So in the afternoon when i came back, i tried to find the management several times but i failed to because there’s no one in the office. So i went to another office to find other management telling one of them the matter, they asked me tried to find the management in my block. But coincidently, there’s this contractor in the office, so he told the constructor follow me to the unit and see what’s going on. I brought him and showed him everything. Then the constructor said, “tell the management at your block later.” I only manage to saw one of the management in my block’s management office at 3 something pm. He’s not the guy i met last time in my unit. So i’m tellin him what’s going on in my unit. He recorded what i reported in a piece of paper and i thanks him.
Days passed, and i still see no one come to solve the problem. I thought maybe they need sometime to process the stuff. On 23th or 24th, i came back and saw the piece of ceiling was put aside. And i bet it’s most probably the act of the maid who cleans our unit. I was like “wtf!”.
So on 25th feb 2006, saturday, i went out for the whole day. At late night i came back, i saw the ceiling that was put aside was gone. I thought finally there’s someone come and fix the problem. Then when i look up, i was stunned. Guess what? They put the broken celing back to its positions and you can still see the breaking part. I checked the rest of the ceiling on the wall, still leaking. You can see water on the corridor, and the door still remain opened (can’t be close without force).
I really do hope they can fix the problem as soon as possible as it’s risking my life there. And also, just now when i took my shower, the water stink. It’s not the normal stink, it stink like shit. It’s SHIT! Or you can call it the salted-fish-shoes-smell. You can even smell your body like shit! I quickly rush to another bathroom and wash myself several times to make sure the smells is totally gone. I think i won’t wash my clothes for few days first, just in case my clothes don’t stink like a salted fish.
I’ll keep track it took how long to fix something that risk the hostelites’ lifes. And please clean the stinky water too. I feel like hating myself because of the smells on my body.
