March Flood

A snip from a subsequent post.

I, rather my apartment, is slowly drying out. Fans and dehumidifiers are still roaring away and my daily electric bill has risen from $3 to $30. I will attempt to claim from owners' corporation insurance, but I don't fancy my chances. I could always ask the apartment owner for compensation, but I would add more than just the cost of the electric. Last resort, as an old age pensioner, plead for sympathy from the electricity company for this unexpected event and offer to pay back $20 per electric bill to eventually cover what will be an extraordinary bill. 

I had nine industrial fans and two dehumidifiers roaring away 24/7 for eight days.

Finally we dried out.

    An OAP, seems an outdated phrase. I guess these days a lot of people receiving a pension aren't that old.
