Water Boiler...

My house that water boiler spoilt a few days ago.I opened up everything to see where it has spoilt.I found that the live wire is not connected to the internal conponent.The live wire is connected to a resistor sort of thing so it cannot pass throught.So should be the thing is spoilt.
Today before going to ATS,I went to Sim Lim Tower to buy the conponent.I thought it will be very difficult to find but I was wrong.I just went into the shop where I always visit and show the pretty lady the thing I want.She quickly got the thing for me without looking here and there for it.I asked her what is this thing,she say is something "thermal controller",it is to control the the amount of current into the load.
*Rewind*Before I went into SimLim Tower,there is this lost China friend on hte street looking for help.He wants to go to Suntec and I showed him the way there.Quite a distance to walk for me but to China people,I think should be alrite. :D
The "thermal controller" cost $2.50.And still remember my father said,"throw away throw away" and then he cut away the wire."Throw away"?Let's see who will throw away who in the year 2007.That's when we will say sayonara!He doesn't like things not taken home by him and especially things from my mother's family this side.
After that I went to ATS.Sort of miss the place althought I did not go there for the last 2 weeks.
