i got a text yesterday telling me to come home so that my flatmate could check the electrical meter in my room. dun ask me why but the meter is in the store in my room. :p anyways, told him i'd try to get home b4 630. then after half hour later he texted me again saying it was the whole street that went down.
so i didnt have to go back that early. so i took my time. reached home at about 7 pm.
the whole street was dark. anyways. reached home. talked with housemates for a bit. then figured out that we could call the customer service. got the number from london energy's bill. called them. got a machine. i thought oh shit... the robotic voices again. but no less than 2 buttons away, the fone rang. and it was answered promptly within 2-3 rings. The guy who answered was named kelvin or calvin. well anyways, he was very nice on the phone. politely explaining everything with patience.
damn. they do have good service.
they explained that underground cable affected. engineers fixing rerouting power to a safe thingy. etc.. should take about an hour or two. asked me to leave my number and name. told him that i wasn't the payer of the bill. he explained that they don't match names with address so it's just to make sure we get our electricity back. WOW. well. gave him my number.
sure enough. about 1 hour later. the lights came back. and then they called me and left a msg on my fone to check if power is okays. but i couldnt pick up cos it was on silent mode.
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL SERVICE !!! DAMN!!! if only TNB had those kind of service back in msia. %$%$£^£%$
can't say much about bulldog's broadband thingy... geez... u CANNOT EVER GET THROUGH !!!!
anyways, enough about services.
today, i've learnt that never let a dump truck overtake u especially when the roads are wet. with those big tyres, .. damn water is sprayed everywhere .. &%"$^"$%"£$!£"
and they aren't pretty smell too. damn. lol.
and buses... one bus came so near me like was trying to scare me half to death. diu..
bastards..
or maybe i'm just in a bad mood today. lol
