So Freaking Cheap As Hell!!

Chatted with Yansen (yesterday?) while working as usual hehe..
Btw Sen, this is for you who keeps bitching about writing in Indonesian although he's an INDONESIAN!!

He told me about his cheap flatmates and then I trashed my housemates too...hahah..
If you guys want to compare his story about his cheap flatmates to mine, just check out his blog.

Anyway, let's get into the story 'bout my cheap-ass housemate here...can't wait hahaha..

I rent a room from my friend's house. She's Indonesian too. From Jakarta but she's a Javanese even though she has never lived in other place than Jkt. She's married to a Mexican guy but has been in the US since he was elementary? middle? school.. somewhere around that year.
Other than me, there're my other housemate and my sister.

Since the electricity prices have been increasing and increasing... she has this rule(??) that we have to save electicity.
SO, she turns ALL the lights in the house OFF!!!!
I hate living in a dark house.

I can understand it if the lights downstairs are on and we're upstairs. If that's the case, then fine! You can bitch around and turn all the lights off!!
But what she does is we have to turn off the light anytime other than when we're eating or reading.

There was even one day that I found she cooked and ate without turning the kitchen's light on. It wasn't dark yet but it was getting dark (you know sunset and all). Man!!!
I couldn't stand it, so I walked in and turn on the light..hahaha..

Also, when we're watching TV, we have to turn the lights off. If I turn it on, she'll even walked out from her bedroom and turn the damn light off! Amazing!

It's getting cooler now since it's fall. And guess what she does?!
She told us to open the window coz she doesn't want to turn the heater on!!!!!
What the hell?!
They said (her n her husband) "open the window in your room, so it'll be cooler." ckckckc...
And you know what she said last winter?!
She said, "Hey guys, please wear more clothes coz I'm not gonna turn the heater on."
What a freaking cheap-ass bitch!
My other roommate and I were like...haha! what the hell?!

And so it began already, she turned off the heater few weeks ago........

I mean, I know that you're trying to save the electricity but still... it's not like you pay it all by yourself! We share the freaking bill!!!

Oh, and 1 more thing. She absolutely loveeessss to throw away foods, including ours.....ckckckc...

Whew.... amazing!!
Ooo well, gotta go get ready and go to my friend's place. We're having hot pot...hahaha..yuummm...
In a cold weather like this eating hot pot.....yummyyy.....=9

Yes Yansen, I know..... I'll start my diet again after tomorrow....
Hey, even working people needs rest... and so am I... =p

i moved out from my old flat exactly because of this. in fact, i'm still not on talking term with those b....

they complained that i used too much electricity, especially because my sister stayed over a lot. wtf? i mean, she stayed in my room. the light was on if i was there, with or without her. same thing with the comp.

or probably she was supposed to pay everytime she used the toilet?

and yes, they turned off the heaters, except the one in my room. and i so hate it to sit on a cold toilet.

I KNOW!!! exactly wtf?!

And my other housemate, she can't stand being cold at all.
So, since we can't have the heather on or the AC too low in temp, she bought a portable heater and an AC.

Basically it's all the same, we're paying the same amount of money.. She uses the same amount of electricity with the heater in her room on.

Dumb ass bitch!
