Bamboo Poles aka Tekkos
Recently, bangalah and china workers have been doing upgrading works to the exterior of our blk. These works include repainting the exterior of the flats and building new facilities. So hardworking these workers are, that they dutifully removed all the bamboo poles that residents put outside their kitchen windows. I guess the bamboo poles got in their way when they were doing the painting.
Anyway, our 2 bamboo poles (aka "tekkos") went MIA. They must be the culprits. Who else right? Week after week we made excuses of being busy. Actually, we just didn't want to go get new ones as they are LONG and UGLY. After procastinating for some time, we finally got around to getting new "tekkos". I guess the missing "tekkos" is a blessing in disguise, cos we got 2 much nicer looking ones! This time, we bought metal "tekkos", haha, they look cool! More pricey though. While the usual red/green/blue bamboo "tekkos" cost $1.45 each, the metal ones cost $9 each! Anyway, the length can be extended, so they weren't too LONG to carry, wahahahahhaa! I remember last year when Kitty (aka Meowvin) and I went to buy bamboo "tekkos", we bought 4, and it was so troublesome carrying them home! Can't even take taxi, cos they were so LONG! Worse, we had to chop them shorter so that they would fit nicely on the bamboo holders! Boy, I'm so glad we don't have to do anymore chopping now!
