my whole country had a blackout yesterday night!๐ฑ i was on the computer,innocenly playing "the sims" when the ENTIRE house went pitch black!! (couldn't see a darn thing - it was ard 10 20pm)
then i picked up my phone (thank GOD i always have my trusty phone with me!๐ ) and turned on the torchlight function and went to the living room.
imagine.i'm all alone at home.it's past 10 pm.it's pitch black.i live on the 2nd floor - anyone who could climb a tree could just come in and kill me๐and i looked out - the WHOLE AREA was out too!!even the street lights!!people were shouting up and down the blocks,even across blocks,running down the stairs to their cars in the carpark (i would have done that too if only my dad was home ๐ it was a freakin sauna in the house!!)
at around 11pm i got sick and tired of sitting around doing nothing but sending messages out to my friends(who all informed me that their areas were completely out too ๐ฑ and they all live scattered around Singapore!!) and i decided to do something productive.
i went to get my candles and lit all of them up,placing them around my house.then i sat at my desk and took out my quill feather (yes yes i know,i have one ๐ฎ ) and it was so perfect,i'd set up this gorgeous Victorian ambience...and i sat there and decided to write a play equivalent to Shakespeare (after all,i had the whole thing going hadn't i?๐ ) and just when i'd gotten the whole perfect atmosphere,just when my pen was poised to write my first word of my potentially Victorian play,just when i was getting to love the whole feeling of the darkness and the candles and the aloneness......................................the bloody lights came on. ๐
oh well. in short the islandwide blackout happened from 10.20 to almost midnight. DAMN it was such a great experience,even though i never got down to writing my play ๐ the ENTIRE country man!!! how cool is that??๐
happened the same to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where do u live?
