The weekend is approaching.
I have my CANON Image Stabiliser IXUS 800 IS camera with me.
To take beautiful shots and share it with my loved one.
HOWEVER, my camera's batter is running low.
HOWEVER, I brought the charger.
HOWEVER, I couldn't charge the battery.
WHY-EVER, because the hole just wouldn't FIT!
HOWEVER, I thought most hotels have shaver plugs in the bathroom.
HOWEVER, Waterfront Hotel is the odd one out.
Then here comes the ultimate Mr Bean classic solution.
First I went around nearby shops, Giant hypermart, provision shops.
I couldn't find any two plug convertors for my camera battery charger.
My PINs are not wide enough. The holes are not near enough!!! Ahhh!!!
AND, They are all selling adapters for three pin plugs. GRRRrrrrrrr
Then I tried my charger with an "opened" plug head.
It works, NEARLY!
Damn it, the distance between the pins are still too wide.
I need something else.
This was when, a shiny reflective connector sparkled me!
GOD sent me a message. I looked down...
I found my saviour!
A loose connector (from one of those opened plug head)
My mind was thinking, what the heck, no matter what I gotta charge my battery.
*Look left, Look right*
Speed-of-Light downward scoop, into my pocket it goes.
I have got an additional connector. *Smug*
Now I just have to buy one normal three-pin plug.
(and link them up)
There I have it, all the required stuffs, dismantled, and ready to CONNECT.
DESPERATE MEASURES:
===================First I place the additional connector to the neutral pin.
Then I twisted the paper clip so that it can slot through to holes
of the connector and "link" them up together.
Next I used scotch tape to secure the paper clip and shiny connector to the neutral pin.
Then this was the moment... I plugged it into the wall socket. *Glurp*
(With no protection at all, 240V might just be coming through my heart!)
Precaution has been taken to ensure that no current is going through the socket
