There was a sudden blackout last night @ around 10.09 pm. Got quite a shock as everywhere went pitch black while I was working on my Physics Assignments. Well, there were people cheering loudly for the blackout from the neighbouring blocks... I guess they were happy for the break from hw right? =D We quickly search for the one and only torchlight, using it to find more candles to light up the house. We found some and IMMEDIATELY light them up... ah... I finally saw light in darkness! =D So... I did my Physics assignments under candlelight, together with my 2 sisters... romantic huh?
I received a call from Wuhan soon... chatted about the blackout (of course), guessing which district in Singpore was affected, discussing the scene around our neighbourhood etc. But I had to put down soon as my sis was having her Maths paper tomorrow (can't afford to disturb her). *Thanks to Xiaohan for calling... really touched! =D
My silly mother was using the digital camera, trying to take photos of us studying under candlelight. =D I thought that was so funny, as it was pitch dark except for light coming from the flickering of the flames! BUT, the photos turned out to look like it's taken with lights around... so wierd! My mother had fun though... i guess it's the most entertaining thing you can do during a blackout, where there is no supply of electricity... =D
Lights came on again at 11.50 pm. It took almost 2 hours for the people to get it fixed. I think they will be in deep trouble with the ministry! bleah... a terrible mistake. Anything undesirable could happen under such conditions... I hope this wouldn't happen again! It was a good experience for me though, since it's my first time experiencing a major blackout!
Gave Wuhan 2 dumplings my mother made today... and her response was overwhelming!!! =D I guess she really enjoyed it! Here's what she wrote in her blog:
YEA! hermione gave me two dumplings today. her mum made them. HERMIONE THEY ROCK LIKE MY SHELLS. REALLI YUMMY. TELL YA MUM THANKS N SHE CAN REALLI GO OPEN SOME DUMPLING SHOP!!! i ate both... =) nicenice. thanks sooo much!
hahahx... woah~ my mother read this part of your blog (showed her) and she was really amused by your different expression (she's not exposed to such writings) =D. She was asking me what is "they rock my shells"? Hard time explaining to her... She got a shock to know that you finished the 2 dumplings in one go. So... i explained to her about your HUGE appetite! =D anyway, she got your message and was really happy to hear your praises!
Reply msgs time:
