CRISIS!!!
CRISIS IN THE JEMEJ HOUSEHOLD!!!
The cup at the bottom of the kitchen sink came off earlier. The water started seeping out from the cabinet to the surrounding floor area, causing me to freak out. All these while I was cooking pasta for lunch.
So I threw a couple of rugs around to soak up all the water and continued cooking, albeit with a very distracted mind. True enough, the pasta turned out a tad too salty. =p
Since we moved in a couple of years ago, there have been cases of breakdowns along the way, but nothing as major as this! :( 
I've always taken extra care around the house, because I believe that regular attention and maintenance is fundamental to keeping the home in good condition. Spending that extra minute or two in taking care of something properly will go a long way in preventing any future "mishap".
Like how I spent an hour with half my body in the oven last night, obsessively scrubbing off every tiny blot of grease. (No, I don't think it's OCD.) I had to, because my oven is my precious, and spending this little extra time now is less dreadful than finding it in a worse off condition the next time.
Now waiting for help to fix that pipe - Heng-daddy to the rescue!!

Yah, it gets very irritating when things break down, but i guess they are expected after you've lived in the place long enough.
