LUCKING FIGHTS
Invert the 'L' and the 'F'. NOW.
I JUST BLOODY WASTED 1.5 HOURS OF MY LIFE TRYING TO FIX THESE 2 FLUORESCENT LIGHTS. THESE SAME LIGHTS THAT (THE RETARDED CONTRACTOR) UNCLE POW SENG INSTALLED NOT ONE YEAR AGO.
Ok, let's take a deep breath *breathes*, and calm down.
It started last Sunday, when one of the ceiling-ish lamps blew. Weird, i thought, but since there were 2, DotAing was still fine, albeit a bit dimmer.
Then, on Tuesday, the other one blew as well. Coincidence? No. Poor worksmanship and using cheap materials? Sounds much more like it.
Without these 2 prime lights in my room, DotAing became a blindingly blinding affair. The lighting was so dismal that i had to turn on 3 different-coloured lights at different angles, which virtually negated the effects of good lighting once again.
Well, i couldn't stand it any longer. My father had already asked UPS to replace my lamps, but the stupid electrician/construction worker/retardos currently deconstructing my house and ruining it in the fine name of 'renovation' were too fucking lazy to do anything.
Today, i cycled down to the nearby mama shop AFTER i bathed to get the lamps, thinking it would be a short and swift affair. You know how much i hate getting dirty after bathing.
At first, i went down with the lamp specifications, which the shopkeeper did not understand. This ended up with me cycling back home to find the new tube several times its size. WARGH #1!!
I then cycled back while carrying both the new tubes AND the entire light casing complete with broken tube. I stopped by the mama shop for a refund, and discovered that they didn't have my exact one in stock cause it was 'too thin'.
This same excuse was re-hashed throughout Serangoon Central's multitude of 'provision shops' The only things they 'provided' were non-compatible wares, shoddy attitudes and bad directions. WARGH #2!!
Eventually, i reached an ulu corner shop that DID stock the tubes. I happily made my purchase and headed home. Unfortunately, my frustrations were not to end. School had just ended for Yang Zheng Sec and all the students were swarming the pedestrian crossing, making navigation with 3 fluorescent light tubes a FUCKING HASSLE. WARGH #3!
After much scuffle and sweating, i arrived back. I immediately pulled apart the free casing by force and attempted to shove in the new tube, not realising there was a terribly simple way to manoeuvre the tubes in. This led to me destroying the casing for one of them, and i'm not too scared to put it up lest it fall and shatter this precious brain of mine. WAAAAARGH #4!!
Not that i can, anyway. This small, insipid clip at the side was smushed by my screwdriver due to its extremely poor craftsmanship. Now the second tube can't even get attached back to the ceiling.
WAAARGHSGAKS!!!!!!
At least that one tube is sufficient for my computer gaming.
