rules..rules..rules..

live with nice owners is not without restrictions.

first day, i moved. they re-explain what's their rules. i thought they told me all they wanted. no cook, no friend staying without notice to grandma, no friends come and spend time in living room, no friend come and make noise, if parents come then i need to pay more for the bill (water, electricity), use the washing machine only twice a week, make sure the door and gate were locked, make sure all are clean (no problem at all for me :p ), pay the rent at last 7th day of the month.

second day, here come the other rules.

my friend came early in the morning, about 6.20am. he asked me to lend him money since he was on his way to work (its his first day of work) and he left his wallet + room key in the room, locked.

20 minutes after he left, i got a call from my room agent, asked me not to let my friend come early in the morning to the house because it will scary the grandma. i can meet friends in meeting points (like mall or other places, but not in the house). also she mentioned about the thingy i put in my door, the owner dont want me to put a cross in the door. she thought it was a cross (since im christian and they are buddhist). then i said to her that my friend would not come again, and explained that it was not a cross since it is a wooden square thing with my name put on it.
after i hung on the phone, here came a message from the owner, asked me the same things as the agent asked me.

i came out of my room and met the lady tenant next door. she tried to tell me the same 2 things. i explained her the same things and she translate it to the grandma.
whew.... seems that the whole world knows that i did mistakes that morning.

the next day, as i arrived in my office, i checked out my mobile and found an sms from the owner saying : "i just want to check out, you sleep with the light on is it?". then i replied : "yes, i sleep with my light turned on". then here came the other agreement that if the electricity bill raise, i need to pay the rest. hehehe ..

hmmm ... after this.. what else?

and now about doing laundry. its very important for me to separate white clothes from dark ones and color ones. so before this i always 2-3 times using the washing machine. if theres bed sheets or towel to wash .. then it will be 4 times.

then i put my dark stuffs first. everything was smooth. then i put my color ones in the machine for the second round. hmmm... "you can put all together in one time wash (because water and electricity are expensive)" said grandma. wow wow wow... then it means that my whitey will be grey. and my color ones becomes dull.

then the lady tenant talked to me on behalf of grandma: "i always do laundry at night, using the "speedy" program so it will be 10 minutes faster then normal. hang off the water pipe, let the water flow to the bathroom before you start the machine or the water can not come out. put back the machine cover and dont forget to switch off the power after you finish. dont forget to hang up the water pipe when its done. do not do manual wash since the excess water will wet the floor. where to hung the clothes? you can put them in terrace next to the front door. but do not put underwear outside." (hahahaha of course i will not do it).

what an hdb life :)
