there was this 2003 movie
《下一站天后 Diva Ah Hey》
starring
Charlene (Twins) and Jordan Chan
co-starring Shawn Yue and Niki Chau
wait a minute
right at this moment I finally realize
the pairing is kind weird
isn’t it should be
Charlene and Shawn
Jordan and Niki
nevermind, let’s just stick to
whatever storyline they have
so.. Shawn is actually a driver for
Niki, the Diva and they fell in love
I mean the Diva finally fell for
the driver who had long loved her
simply because he helped her to
replace a spoilt light bulb and
to the Diva
she will fall for man who is willing to
replace light bulb for her
because the act is just too gorgeous
even though he is just a driver
so I used to look forward to
witness the scene of a man
changing light bulb at my place
well it did happen
twice, I think but
didn’t turn out to be that great
so forget about it
the theory doesn’t really work
the bathroom shared by
me and Angie, my housemate
was out of light for two days
and here’s our version of the story
9:00 pm yesterday
so I bought a fluorescent tube
Philips, of course, my favourite brand
downstairs and replaced it
it didn’t work, still
so it must be the starter then
I was too tired to go down
I got home from work at 9 p.m.
so Angie went instead
and so here I was up there
the second attempt
but damn
the starter stubbornly
refused to come out
so I was pulling, turning, dragging
and oh man.. I managed to
remove it out, yet
without the component, though
just the cover..
craps…
the components were
all stuck in there
after several attempts
so managed to excavate these
what was still left inside
were a “leg” and the cover
so it’s now
the engineering student took over
Angie even has a screw driver with her
so she screw-opened the body of
the light placement and
used a small scissor to scrap the
remainders of the starter
out of the socket
phew.. finally
the new starter was installed
time to turn on the light
what???
the light was still not working
7:00 am today
I thought of giving it another try
we were at dead’s end anyway
so I remove the new starter
and reinstalled it after
a long murmur of magic charm..
and hey it worked!!
