Gladly, problem solved. From what I can see, it was mechanic's fault (who installed brand new BB last year).

I've heard few claims by fellow cyclists that some new BBs (not those disposable cartridge type and not necessarily Campagnolo) come with little to no grease at all, so it's up to the person to disassemble, grease up, assemble and install what has to have "slap it and ride" attitude. Why would manufacturer do that?
