The water pressure has been low since Monday evening. I have been bathing in cold water from the water tank for the past 2 days. When I turned on the tap to wash the rice just now, nothing flowed out. Not even a drop. I had to wash the rice in the bathroom and cooked with water from the tank.

There is no announcement in the Syarikat Bekalan Air Selangor Berhad (SYABAS) website. I called the toll-free number (1 800 88 5252) several times and waited in futility for more than 20 minutes to speak to a customer service executive each time, only to be informed repeatedly by the automated voice answering system that all the executives are busy.

I can accept if water supply is disrupted by a burst pipe or upgrading works provided it is announced in the website or through recorded message when customers call the toll-free line. I can accept if water supply is cut if prior notice is given for me to store water for essential usage.

As I was typing this, I finally got through to the customer service executive who gave me a very generic reply that the water level in the reservoir is low, that she does not know when normal water supply will be resumed and that a water tanker will be sent to this area today. When I asked when and where the water tanker will be deployed, she said she does not know.

I need clean water to wash my catheter after emptying my bladder. This I need to do at least 5 times a day. I run the risk of urinary tract infections or further damage to my kidneys if I skip this routine due to the inability to clean the catheter. I can live without electricity but I certainly cannot survive one day without water. I need a contingency plan just in case this crisis drags on for a few more days.

Just our luck. In the midst of submitting our income tax returns through E-Filing, the website returned an error message. We had almost completed the entire process. Now we have to wait until tomorrow to check if we can complete and submit it. The last day for submission of personal income tax returns is April 30.

This blog has not been updated for the past few days because I have nothing worth blogging about, not that I have something interesting to share now. The itch is coming back and I just took Loratidine. It is 12.30am. I should be in bed. That is exactly what I am going to do now. Good night Malaysia.

It was by chance that I felt a firm lump in my right scrotum while performing catheterisation yesterday. It is firmer to the touch as compared to the left testes. It is the size of a small grape. There is no pain or perhaps my poor sensation is masking it. I need to get a doctor to have a look at it.

No serious itching today, well, at least not to the extent of having to take anti-histamines, apply Beprosalic ointment or scratching like a monkey till the skin breaks. William will be dropping by in a short while to take me to the bank. I told him to give me one hour to get ready. I need that much time because of my new wheelchair.

I like my new wheelchair very much. It is compact, comfortable, gives me a good posture, easy to propel and has a very short turning radius. Considering the fact that it cost me a few thousand, it is still money well spent. The only problem I have with this chair is dressing myself up. In my previous chair, I could dress myself up in 10 to 15 minutes. In this, I need at least 20 to 30 minutes. Its compactness restricts some of the limb movements I need to wear trousers. You win some you lose some. I just need to get used to doing things in this chair.
