Yup, today is MDB's Birthday! So here's wishing MDB a very very Happy Happy Birthday!! May all that you're wishing for would be fulfilled soon...with God's blessings!
And most importantly, may you have many more Happy, Healthy & Loving years ahead...
And to share, here's a pic of her Bday present...from yours truly....simple but full of uknowat...
Well, what can I say...today was like going back to the past...travelling back in time to those wonderful "pak tor" (courting) days of olde! Yup, we were back to those days when there were just the 2 of us, starting life together...like nothing else mattered but just the 2 of us in our own world!And thus it was today...now, it's just like the same...just the 2 of us...just a couple once more! Ha ha!
Now we'll step a bit forward (???) in time...to Fri 20th Aug. That was when it was decided that Lot 10 needed to move forward. What exactly do I mean? Ok...pray do allow me to explain a bit...
Lot 10 had been finding it an increasingly, literally & figuratively, growing problem to find reliable sources of RO (Reverse Osmosis) purified water. Most of those RO water vending machines are NO longer "spitting" out such high quality RO water but in most places, the supposedly RO water was worse than our home filtered tap water! That is, the water which was supposed to have a TDS (Total Dissolved Solutes) value of less than 5ppm, had a TDS value of 60 ppm & above!! Just imagine having to pay for such poor quality of water...
Many, I feel, (maybe even you guys) had been duped into paying good money for water which you would have easily & conveniently got from your very own filtered tap water at home!! Actually, no one could blame you guys...because you do not have the means to test the water quality. And, of course, the water looked clean to you (and so it did to me at that time, too!). And so does your own home filtered water, right?
Anyway, our recent "best" source of good quality & true RO water was from Tesco. At RM2.89 per 5.5L bottle. However, the empty bottles have been piling up in our storeroom...practically reaching the ceiling & more!
Even the "recycling" or "Surat Khabar Lama" guys had started to refuse accepting those bottles for recycling!! Their excuse? The bottles occupied too much space in their vans...more newspapers could be collected in the same amount of space. We understood.
So it was that when we were given a very tempting offer & great repayment terms of a Coway RO Water Purification system unit, we grabbed it without any hesitation! And the unit was installed & has been working well since Tue 24th Aug.
Here it is, sitting nice & comfy on top of our kitchen cabinet...neatly & well-installed! Of course, the extra power point is courtesy of yours truly's DIY handiwork...haha!
Well, this unit supplies RO water (tested & confirmed to be such with the TDS testing meter that we had all these years) in 3 forms, namely "Room (room temp)", "Ice Cold" & "Hot (approx 98 deg C)" modes.
Now, isn't that just great & extremely convenient? No more trips to Tesco just to get stock of our RO water supply...thereby also providing savings re cost of petrol? And at times, the frustration & disappointment when we had to come home empty handed? Just because there was no stock of such bottled water @ Tesco?
Best of all is now both inmates of Lot 10 need not worry about more & more empty 5.5L plastic bottles stacking up towards the "sky"! Going "green" & thus contributing to saving the World...reducing Global Warming, etc., etc.?? Haha!
What's more? Our electric kettle & electric air-pot have been packed & kept. The Coway unit has replaced the functions of both these items! More savings?
Costwise? It amounts to less than our monthly cost of purchasing the RO water from Tesco...and we have our very own "water purification plant" in Lot 10! Ready to use...at room temperature, ice cold or hot at a press of a lever....at any time!! 24/7.
Ok...it's time to stop all that "blabbering" and to let you guys have a welcomed break! Haha!
Have another great weekend!
