In the Dark


It was pitch dark in Kch (I later found out that the whole of Sarawak was in darkness) last night. Felt as if we were in a big dark tunnel.

Birthday dinner for 2 birthday boys at 7pm became supper, MINUS 1 birthday boy.

No traffic lights, no rules. Roads were congested. It was a sea of red rear lights on the roads. Cars moving forward very slowly. From the side, it looked like a long train. A lost train.

Electricity came back at about 9pm in our area. Even more reasons to celebrate. By then, we were all starving and we ended up ordering too much and were full to our throats. Moral of the story: Never order food when you are starving.

It was pretty a dark and quiet night yesterday! We go back to the old times when we do not have electricity! Luckly is just for 1 hour. I can't imagine what we can do without the electricity.

but i really like the peace n quiet during the black out, u can hear the wind blowing through leaves n unknown bugs singing in the dark, no tv noise, no radio, family sitting together gathering n talking, how nice!

but still, can't let go the convenience of electricity supply, zi xiang mao dun.
