这要捱几年??! How many years do I have to endure that??!

好恐怖的一个想法!一个问题解决不了,结果要捱上无数年月的“痛苦”。。。
当小问题我们不理会,或不处理(扫在地毯下面),它就会持续下去,持续的“折磨”与“骚扰”我们,以致我们无法完全安宁或享受生活,脑子后面一直告诉我们有问题存在。。。

这个恐怖问题差一点就成为我的梦魇。。。因为他们跟我说,若找不出这个“小问题”的根源,那下来几年我的“头”就大了!
那我面对的到底是什么问题?原来就跟我家里漏水有关。。。
其实女佣早就跟我说一定有水管爆裂或漏水什么的,因我浴室外面的木砖会潮湿和发霉,但我一直拖延,没认真去处理。。。

What a horrible thought! When a problem is not solved and you have to “suffer” for countless years and months…
When we ignore or do not deal with our small problems (sweeping them under the carpet), they will continue and persist to “torment” and “disturb” us till we cannot have perfect peace or enjoyment in life, as behind our mind we will be thinking about the problem…

This scary thought almost became my nightmare as they told me if we could not locate the source of this “little” problem, it would become a “big” headache for me for years!
Then what was the problem I was facing? It had to do with the water leakage in my house…
Actually my maid told me quite a while ago that some pipe must be leaking outside my shower room as the wooden tiles outside the shower room were kind of moist and mouldy, but I kept delaying and did not seriously check on the problem…


一直到最近我觉一定要处理了,因为厕所旁边的砖块的缝也冒出水来了,所以就叫了教会善于装修的弟兄来帮忙。。。
起初他们就挖掘了外面的木砖和厕所旁的砖块,甚至整个厕所都拆下来,还敲破墙壁的砖块要找出到底是哪里漏水。。。

Until recently I thought the problem must be solved, because water was coming out from the cracks of the tiles beside the toilet too, so I asked some brothers from church who are good at renovation to come and help…
Initially they dug out the wooden tiles outside and also the tiles beside the toilet, and even took down the entire toilet and broke the tiles on the wall to find out where the leaking actually was…

几天后还是查不出原因,连花洒的墙也被敲了!看了有多心痛。。。
Few days later, they still could not find the problem, even the shower wall was broken to be checked! What a pain to see the sight…

还是找不出原因!他们就有几个理论,也告诉我若找不出根源,只要我住在这屋子里,问题就会存在!
从那天起,我就一直祷告,我跟上帝说,这房子是你赐福我的,你一定会让他们发现问题所在。。。

Still could not find the problem! And they came up with a few theories but also told me if they could not locate the source, then I would have to live with this problem for as long as I live in this house!
From that day on, I prayed to God constantly telling Him that He was the one who blessed me with this house, so He would surely show them where the problem is…

感谢主,天父再次听了我的祷告,今天下午就发现问题了,而且问题是源自最初的建筑疏忽,发展商需要负责修补,而不是原本发展商说的是我自己要负责!

Thank God, my Father God once again listened to my prayer, the problem was located this afternoon, and it was the negligence of the initial builder, so the management company has to be responsible for this repair as opposed to me being responsible as initially mentioned by the company!

感谢主,我不必捱那么多年了!小问题上帝都帮我解决,更何况如果有大问题呢?
我只能说:我的神真好!
Praise the Lord, I do not have to endure this for years! God settles even this little problem for me, what more to say if there are big problems?
I can only say: My God is so good!
