do you remember how i used to fuss about wanting to have warm shower? i would make sure to turn the water heater on at least 10 minutes before to make sure that i have enough warm water for a nice shower…. or that i would wait almost for an hour at home to boil some water… (of course, those things do not apply when i am in a hurry….)
well…. the saying ‘be careful with what you wish for’ is certainly applicable for me in Stanford. the shower is great…. but somehow i could not master the dials, so that i always end up with an extra hot shower… a couple of times i heard other pepole experienced the same thing, and some other people will resolve the problem. and they tried with me, too. but maybe, the temperature is still too hot for me…maybe only for me….
until this morning….
we were just the two of us in the shower, at 6 o’clock in the morning, me and a Finnish girl… and then she went out of the shower saying that no matter what she tried she still found the shower to be too hot…. yipeee!!! i’m not the only one! heheheheh… but i resolved to continue with my shower, and today….well, i thought i found my own technique…
i tried to find the least warm temperature (it was still super duper hot, though…) and tried to make myself as far as possible from the shower head…..read: i basically have my shower very low (almost) on the floor….huahahahahaha…..but hey, it worked! the water was comfortably warm, although i was uncomfortably folded into two, trying to scrub myself clean….hehehehe…
have a great day, folks. Stanford is all sunny and shining.

berhubung keluarga dari yang empunya rumah tetanggaan dengan kami, notabene yang mengurus kesejahteraan ikan-ikan itu adalah pekerja rumah tangga di rumah dan keluarga besar sang pemilik rumah asli. tadinya sih pas awal-awal kami masih sok rajin, nguras kolam, de el el… tapi lama-lama jadi nyadar bahwa nguras kolamnya nggak masalah, nungguin penuhnya itu yang alamak…lama bener. lagi pula dengan sistem perpipaan rumah yang ribet abis, aku sendiri kurang paham, mana bukaan air PAM dan mana bukaan air sumur. jadi gitu deh….
