Wrap My World Around You: A night in the dark

As most of you probably know, there was a massive power outage last night. Our neighbourhood was no exception. That was the first black out that we had during the Eid celebration this year. In addition, there were two black outs during puasa time as well but those were not as bad as last night's was since they were less than an hour. Last night, the black out started at 7:35pm in our neighbourhood and lasted more than 4 hours! The electricity finally came back up at 5 minutes to midnight. Unashamedly, my sister and I jumped up and down in joy when the electricity was back, hahaha, since we were dreading a sleepless night especially in the heat! Like I said in one of my twits, how easy it is to take things for granted ey.

We lighted up a couple of candles in some parts of the house and had to change some a few times when they eventually burn out. One time, we even went inside the car kan berair con, hahaha. We heard that the power outage is not only in our neighbourhood, but it also affected other parts of the country as well such as jerudong, sengkurung and belait. We passed the time listening to the radio from mobile phones, waiting for any news regarding the outage. I heard that some other areas had their electricity restored later than us and some earlier.

Tonight, so far, we had electricity here. My uncle's place in Kiarong is having a black out just now, but I am not sure if it has been fixed. But thank you to all the engineers, electricians and all those who are working hard to remedy the situation and are prompt in taking actions! :)
