Blackout

My Hall experienced an electricity cut on Monday night 9pm. It happened just before I was about to go for a bath luckily. 3 things came to my mind instantaneously.


Firstly, for those who plug out their notebook battery when they are connected to the main, are you in a middle of a project/work? Did you save your work? If not, how much are you gonna re-do the thing again? Morale of story, do a ctrl+s (save) whenever you updated your work so as to play safe. This is a good habit that all should adopt.

Secondly, the network technician must be cursing and swearing too. Because he has to come back to fix the network no matter where he is, what he is doing right at that moment. We all know how precious the Internet is. In terms of money that is. Few minutes of downtime might results in thousands of dollars gone.

Lastly, all of us again realised the importance of electricity and how much Singapore is so much dependent on it. All of us felt so helpless without electricity. We cannot continue our study, we cannot do our work on the notebook. Is it just a matter of time when the natural resources will be depleted? Or will the world begin to use nuclear energy as replacement?

Finally, after a good 10 to 15 minutes of darkness, the light came back on. I went for my bath happily. After I put my shampoo, the lights went off again. So sway meh!! Luckily the water supply is not cut. I hurried to wash away my the shampoo and proceed back to my room.

Electricity flow seems to resume to normal after 15 minutes and there was no more blackout throughout the night. At around 10.30pm, I received a call asking me to go for my Hall's next year Annual & Dance interview. I signed up as a Business Manager when they were going door to door for recruitment. The interview went smoothly, results will be out this Friday, stay tuned.

Then, I received an SMS from my dear saying she got a present for me! Can't wait for it, I quickly dash back to my room and received the present via MSN. To show my appreciation to my loyalty readers, I decided to let you all have a look at the sweet present Wendy made for me.


Isn't the pic in the center cute? Tank cute Li Ling :)
