Mysterious place of a house
Nope it’s not only my house. There’s a place in everyone’s house where we seldom go, or totally not even once. Which corner izzit? Hmmm…the sauna room…oops, nope I’m talkin’ ’bout a dark place beneath the roof but above the ceiling, a place you can’t reach without a ladder.
Last Saturday mornin’ went home from breakfast, found that the water supply for one of the bathroom is interrupted. From basin to shower pipe, they’re all clogged. What to do? It’s all the piping from the main water tank (or known as tangki) problem. Gotta rectify it from the source.
Grab a ladder from the store room and place below the ceiling. There is an "entrance" for it. It’s been a long time since someone been inside, cuz everyone was busy and the main reason, there’s nothing interesting in there. Once upon a time my uncle told me that it’s like an oven there, very hot. That time I was a kid, too young to go up there or even climb a ladder=p
This time I volunteer to go up, but my dad said I’m not "qualified" yet. He went up with all the tools, trying to loosen up the mud which is stuck inside the water pipe for more than ten years. Can’t help, I stood on the ladder with the top part of my body up in there, exploring the "structure" inside and wait for instruction. It’s so dusty, especially spider web everywhere, dirt and even leaf (wonder how it gets in). I observed that they’re all pieces of wood supporting each other, and the ceiling is right at the bottom.
I noticed that each time my dad moves around, he steps on the wood, which is approximately 10cm wide, then i remembered there was once a technician been up there and accidentally stepped on the ceiling, and ended up with a mess. Cuz replacing a ceiling is not a simple task. Now I realized why I’m not qualified yet=)
Indeed it’s hot, dang hot. I won’t depict it as an oven, but the feelin’ I have is, it’s like a sauna. I can feel the temperature is almost the same, it’s stuffy, no circulation of air except from the gap between tiles. Even if I was standin’ at the "entrance", but juz a matter of 15 minutes my sweat is drippin’ off my body. The most disgustin’ part, spider web is all over my body, from my head right through my waist. I started to curse at the spider, "You stupid eight legged freak". Never aware that, soon they’re gonna curse me for destroyin’ their home=p But yet I still need to say…
"SPIDERMAN, DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU’RE CREATIN’ STICKY GARBAGE EACH TIME YOU SWING FROM A BUILDING TO ANOTHER??? DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH A COMPANY SPENT TO PAINT THE ENTIRE BUILDING???"
LOL!!!!!~~~ Fine, spiderman is innocent. We’re juz on different standpoint. Anyway I go to bathe right away after my job was done. Before that, I really looked like a spiderman, nope, sorry, wrong term. I should say "spiderwebbed man"…
