main lesson of today, i called the hot water specialist to come and take a look at our gas powered water heater. he came, he saw, he twiddled with that thing, he taught me how to start the fire(it's called a pilot flame), he got paid his $60, and he left. easy money i tell you! no choice. because i personally wasn't experience enough to follow the instructions on the equipment. so i wasn't doing it right.
but anyway so now we have hot water for shower again at long last. and then my brain started moving and decided i should start up the central heating system too! and so i did. warm water, climate control, isn't that sweet?
the most satisfying thing i'd done today other than the discovery of fire(quite literally), was that i made a short instruction booklet thingy for my parents. they aren't exactly english educated, let alone computer literate. so i typed some sort of a instruction manual for them in chinese. complete with icons and step-by-step directions. only thing is to get it printed out by my brother.
*my patience is being tested*
