Wet Letters

Posted by Kenneth "Definite" Lee on Dec 30, 2009

Got a little frustrated after coming back from work.

Well, the usual complaint with my new place…

Wet letter in the mailbox.


How many times do I need to come back home to see a wet letter lying in the mailbox?

And the cause of getting wet letters? Not because the postman had accidentally splashed his coffee on it, but because my house has a letter slot that pathetically isn’t rain-proof.

It’s a bit pointless of the developer right? What’s the point of installing a drop box that collects rain water too? If that’s the case, they might as well save some cost for something better, like a post mount mailboxes instead.

Since it is difficult for me to clear the stagnant water everyday, I had to slot in an egg tray to help absorb the water. Which unfortunately still fails anyways!

What about a wall mount mailbox, anyone? I’m sure a more expensive and quality one would be rain-proof, wouldn’t it?

Office Windowpane Deco Turns Semi-disaster

The office room that I just got has a huge windowpane found absent on many others’.

The first day I moved in and sat inside, I felt totally like a chimpanzee on display. When people walked past the corner, I had to look out every time and them in, and that distracts and annoys the hell out of me.

Initially I did not plan on putting anything up because I thought there was nothing to hide. I even told my colleague, in a naively confident manner, that I didn’t want to cover lor!

And the next moment I found myself pathetically looking for mahjong papers and adhesive tapes eager to cover the windowpane up!

FML.

The aftermath was a bit of a disaster when it turned out to be…

…WHICH WAS UGLY TO NO END!


But “damage” has been done and after having spent an entire SUNDAY (worked till 8pm or so and the security had to come up to shoo me away) working on the deco, I couldn’t be bothered to redo anymore!

Then, I accidentally discovered the wonder of my masterpiece when I switched on the light from the office room…

Wahlau — not bad leh! My student said it looks like wayang kulit lmao. And the interior:

The Christmas ribbon has been randomly recycled from Kathy’s Christmas present (which has a story; and will be blogged in upcoming post). You say I’m environmental-friendly or not?

Speaking of which, the string that runs across the windowpane was made of waste papers. Can you guess how I did that??

Ok, I know there is pack of green bean laying on the cupboard. Because I have to chew on something every 15 minutes. Cannot meh?

The other day I bought a big pack of Mamee Monster (which consists of several small packets) from Tesco, finished it in two days and had myself stunned!

Anyway, about the deco… Still thinking it had room for improvement, the following day I saw some dried leaves along my way to Uni and immediately plucked inspiration from there.

Oklah, considering I have no prior experience in right-brain-oriented activities like this, the deco isn’t all that bad lah. Not the best work of mine, but certainly an experience.
