A lot of things are unconsciously taken for granted, but that's not the case. It is rare that I can breathe and type properly now, and some people don't wake up.

At the beginning of August, there was a problem with the dams in the area, and there was a notice that water would be shut down for a week.

At that time, I didn't think it was serious, because I thought the school would have water no matter what, and my school became a quarantine center (the number of confirmed cases in Malaysia has skyrocketed recently). Not only do those in quarantine need water, but those on the front lines cannot live without it.

So I relaxed. My dormitory ran out of water first, so I started going to other dormitories to take a shower.


After two days of washing, all the dormitory buildings ran out of water.

It happened that I had a friend who could drive and ride a motorcycle, and came to my room for a few days (because there were too many people in her room, and I was the only one in my room), so she rode a motorcycle and drove me outside the dormitory, But still take a shower in the campus area. At this time, students are not allowed to leave the school gates.

The weather is very hot, and the sticky body feels after touching the cool running water. I am really grateful and grateful. Fortunately, the buildings outside the dormitory still have water sources. Fortunately, my friends can ride motorcycles and drive cars. Otherwise, I have to go a long way. On the way to take a shower, after washing, I will walk back to the dormitory in a sweat.

We went to the school's mosque to take a bath first, as this was the closest water source. It was strange when we were washing, it was just the time for chanting, we could hear the sound of chanting clearly in the toilet, and we stripped naked in the shower. I think it doesn't matter, I don't intend to violate it. If a god is so stingy, he can't be called a god, and I'm not a Muslim either. But anyway, thank you very much that there is still water in that place.

But after a day, there was no water in the chapel.


So let's take a motorcycle to a farther place, let's go to the nearby college first. I call it Afternoon Academy because its English abbreviation is 4 PM (4PM).

Fortunately, there is still water in the college in the afternoon, but it is only a bath in the lecturer's toilet, hahaha! Fortunately, we are all working from home now, and no lecturers will come to the office.

We showered there for two days and washed our clothes once.

As for washing clothes during the period of water production, it is actually not allowed, because others have no water for bathing, and some people are washing clothes with water?

I was forced to do laundry because I only have three sets of clothes, the weather is hot, and the clothes I wear are already stinky, I don't want to wear them again, I can only turn a deaf ear when I hear people swearing, this is very timing, everyone All have to find a way to survive.


After a few days, my friend left, so no one could take me to a far place to take a shower.

The Water Authority issued another notice saying that the maintenance time will be extended by an additional week. However, at this time, the school has a temporary storage bucket, and students can go there to get water if they need water. Every day, firefighters come to add water from time to time.

But at this time, it was a coincidence that the next dormitory began to have water supply for several hours a day, so that the isolated students could bathe. Quarantined students cannot leave their dorms, so dorms must have water. Quarantine students are upstairs, we only use the shower room downstairs, there is no problem.

Because the firefighters come to water at different times, I started to prick up my ears all day to hear if there is a wet sound from the students' slippers, the sound of rubber or plastic rubbing against the soles of the feet, "baby, babble", which you will hear in the swimming pool sound. As soon as I heard that sound, I rushed to take a shower.

In this way, there is no bathing crisis for the time being, and I am quite happy. And I will leave the dormitory for practice on the 15th, and the water source has not been restored by that day.

I have extra tap water for hand washing, toilet flushing, etc, but not enough for bathing.


During this time, I found that I can take a shower very quickly, about 3 minutes, including shampooing (because I am worried that the water source will be interrupted suddenly, I don't want to wash my body without water when it is full of bubbles), I can use water very quickly. That's all, 1.5L of tap water is enough for me to wash my hands, flush the toilet, and wash dishes in one day.

The source of water has always been taken for granted, but when there is no water, it is discovered that without water is really bad.

A lot of things are unconsciously taken for granted, but that's not the case. It is rare that I can breathe and type properly now, and some people don't wake up. And now the epidemic is too serious, physical health is very important, and my body is very good, the weather is very hot, but I have never gotten angry.

I have been vaccinated with Sinovac, and there are no side effects during this period, which is great.
