Another home project: replacing the fill valve

A $20 fill valve bought at a local plumbing store compared to a $10 one bought at Home Depot.  Which one should I use?

All right!  I've got all the parts out, and the tools.

What's next?

Er...the instruction sheet is soooooo long!

First, take out all the old parts...  That wasn't too difficult, especially if you ignore the puddle of water that I tried to soak up with a lame piece of kitchen paper.

Now, what do I do with this piece of thing-a-magic?

Adjust the height, stick it in, stabilize with lock nut, connect with water supply, hook up fill valve with overflow pipe using tube, and adjust flapper...

Yeah!  All done!  The water level is just right!  Mom suggested replacing the one in the other bathroom as well...

笑一笑,世界更美麗

見到別人笑,當然會讓我比較輕鬆,也會回禮--跟那個人笑一笑。別人喜歡見到我笑也不出奇。但是心情不好的時候,忙到要發瘋的時候,也要為別人而笑嗎?我不是一直都很少笑嗎?難道不可以目無表情嗎?幹嘛一定要笑? 我又不是售貨員,又不是要見顧客。你又不是跟我講笑話。為什麼要戴上面具?

Here are the ingredients...

First, heat up water + oil + salt + sugar.  After salt and sugar melts, remove from heat and add more cold water.  Wait for it to be lukewarm.

Flour the work surface and start kneading.  At this point, things were getting chaotic and my fingers were getting messy...

After kneading, place in loaf into a well-greased loaf pan and let sit for it to rise.

We are lucky!

Mom just told me today that when I was just 1, we went to a shipyard in Scotland.  She told me and my brother that we are lucky to visit a new place.  After, I got very excited and kept repeating "We are luck!"

You look nice today!

Most people would to happy to hear that, but somehow I wasn't even though 3 different people complimented me.  I was wearing sunglasses and a cap that day, and can hardly be recognized.  :p
