Ha He Hi Ho Hu! 6.30am-7.00am I woke up early. Heading to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Cook instant noodles and some broccoli. Suddenly.... Head back for a while to the bed, I smell something burnt. Don't know how to explain it, but I know when there's a wire burn, so that's it. I quickly turn off my nearest table main switch along with my double decker's neighbour main switch. Thankfully, she is also awake at this time. The moment I turn them off, boom! Boom! 7.00am-7.30am Boom! Boom! Yup. 2 times explode. Nope, no blackout still. But my upper double decker neighbour saw the bright spark in front of her. Our front room setting is the clothes drying area along with 2 other tenants there. I don't get to see the spark in real time because I was at my back switching our main table switch. So, she just jump down from her bed, close the ceiling fan and all. She call the admin management right away. 7.30am-8.00am Take this time to continue breakfast after a brief disturbance. After breakfast, bath and ready to go to the library when the electric maintenance came asap, which is good 8.00am-8.30am Get dressed and invite the maintenance in. He noticed one sub-switch in the electric box went down. He wrote down everything and inform the electrician. He give necessary advice and we act accordingly. After that, proceed to go to the library. Yup. I am glad that as years go by, no one bothered me with their "April Fool" immature pranks anymore. But do you still remember the tenant I talked about in my previous post? Yup, she doesn't give a single f. care about what just happened. She just gets ready and goes to the class, not even caring to turn off the switch nearby her. Her bottom double-decker neighbour is the one that turns the switch off for her She doesn't even care about her own surgery infection, her own health, let alone her own table switch that she used. Totally no brain! What an April Shock! Kbye! Adie, April 2023.

There's around 20 people. So imagine the crowd.... Though, one still need to be considerate and ask about the condition, not just walk and care about own classes. Oh gosh is this student coming from the cave?

That neighbor is totally irresponsible. I'm glad you called management and they came right out to check out your electrical problem.

Yup! At least as a person, we do care about others who are still sleeping that time since it was happening around 6.30am. Still early, so we have to wake them because the electricity on sparks. But that tenant neighbour? Nope. She just lift her laptop, and go to the class without panic, without anything. In the midst of the panic, she just observe, and leave

@Adie04 Some people are so self centered that they don't care about others.

I agree with you. So ignorant, that lady. I wonder what happen if the dorm is really on fire. She maybe still care about her classes rather than her belongings and others' lives.

Either I am going out, or this stubborn tenant goes out. She really don't f care about things around her. So ignorant She don't even bother to ask, to help, to do anything. Just even today, she lift the heavy laptop when her surgery stitches is just about 3 weeks. Well, if that's the way she wants to die, let her be

Unfortunately, there was one fuse in the electric fuse box went down. So consider that as damage. But yeah, thankfully no other damages so far. But yeah, the tenant is just taking care of herself and didn't even ask the follow up after that. She expect someone come up to her and tell her everything

Tenants should keep an eye out for things like unplugged charger or wet clothes near outlets among other things. It should be a strict admin rule.

Probably, but unfortunately you can't deal with stubborn people. you just hope some realisation hits them. It's useless even if you have advise thousand times. If they are stubborn, they'll just live with it.

Wow, what a harrowing time! Some people live in their own little world and we can only work around them or get away from them.

I agree with you! Even one of my friends when I express my frustration to her about that tenant, she also ask, 'where is she coming from, the cave?' I am okay if you care about yourself mostly. But we need to remember that we are living with other community, we should be considerate too.
