H20 Frustrations!!!

(If u do decide to read, haha, u have to bear with my complaints..)
The main pipe that supplies all the water to my apartment has burst!! And to make matters worst, it is a in-wall pipe....and the owner is a very difficult man (to put it in nice terms)

Initially it started with just a leak, and we complained to the owner. The "smart" owner said it was just a minor problem and asked us to find the management. Fine. We got the management. Waited for the management. Two days pass. The management came. Said that it needs to be repaired by a plumber. Okay. Now we have to call plumber. Wait again. Plumber comes. Schedules a repair 4 days later. Wait. Meanwhile leak gets worst and worst, dripping down to the apartment below. Hopes they don't complain. The washing machine area is constantly flooded. Owner refuses to come and see the problem. Things we are a bunch of spoilt girls who are making petty complains.

Plumber comes with tools and everything, wants to charge RM300. To break down wall and to repair. (reasonable)
Owner (argh) disagress. Plumber angry. Leaves.

Owner suggests his own plumber. Wait another 2 days. The plumber comes. Checks and says, that he doesn't want to repair because he's not familiar with the plan of the pipes in vista. Calls owner, and the owner's own plumber said that the original plumber's charge of RM300 was reasonable. Owner now caught in own game. But doesn't want to admit it. And delays calling the original plumber. And when we complain that he should have let the original plumber do it the first time, he gives excuses that he must make sure that the plumber wasn't cheating..blah, blah, blah.

Now, owner comes. And sees the extend of the problem. Oh, did I forget to mention that my room is now flooded too? Have to mop the floor every 2 hours.....and the cupboard where the leak started through the wall is now damp.

Have very tense conversation with owner. Owner tries to find a number of other plumbers. All which are not willing to come and repair.
Owner bites own humble pie. Calls up the original plumber. Luckily the original plumber agrees to repair the pipe for RM 300. And this was saturday. Plumber can only make repairs on the following tuesday.

Meanwhile we have to turn off the main pipe, and turn it on when we need to use water, going in and out of our apartment everytime we needed water.
And mop all the leakings in the room.
Okay. Still bearable.
Until just now....the main pipe BURST!
Now, we can't even turn on the main pipe...it's 30 hours away from repairs...no water for one and a half days...
And...to make things worst, the damage is now bigger, which may amount to a higher cost...and the owner...is being very stingy!!!
He says....that we should not pay the plumber after he finishes his work, in case it leaks again. And he expects us to tell that to the plumber..Which would leave us to the plumber's warth....
And since the damage has become worst, it may cost more than RM 300....
(Owner threatens to deduct from our deposit to pay for the repairs...when the responsibility is acutally his! He's already not happy with paying RM300, we are afraid he'll ask the plumber to not do the repairs if the plumber needs to charge more....and leave us without water for even longer) and the extend of the leak maybe the whole apartment's pipes....

This whole thing has tested my patience to the max. It's one of the few times I've raised my voice on the phone (Oh yes, to chase the owner to come we had to call the owner 3 times everyday...if not, he'll just conveniently" forget")
10 days of calling a gumpy owner multiple times, 10 days of leaks everywhere...and now, waterless...

I can actually go and stay with other people, but Endo is 4 days away..I doubt I can study in another person's apartment.

Have to go to the rubbish collection's pipe to carry water into the apartment...
Argh..

I was really really frustrated and impatient over the whole water chaos. It really disurbed my concentration while studying for exams.
But even as I was complaining to mum over this water things, she said something that really made sense.

Yes, it's an inconvenience, but it's just an inconvenience. Think of others who do not even have piped water supply, the poor, those in squatters...or missionaries who go to the interiors...to bath in the river, drink unclorinated water..

Lord, I'll never take piped water forgranted again!!! :)
But Lord, please restore our water supply and may leaks not happen again in this apartment...
