After quite a long while, I’m back from my beloved blog. For today’s entry, I’m not sure whether I want to go in depth so let’s see how much my stamina can go after a day’s of walking in NUS and shopping malls yesterday, the fact that I slept at 330h, woke up at 0800h for a one and a half hour of driving lessons and just reached home. I’m deprived form strength and sleep thus my mental state seems a little groggy. I think I’m sounding very singlish for the above statement, I shall edit when my state of mind is clearer and if I remember that I wanted to edit. :P

If you are living in Singapore, I guess the most significant that happened to the country should be the blackout that happened two days ago. Before the actual blackout, I was talking on the phone and suddenly the lights went out. My first weird reaction was to look out of the window to see whether the other flats have blacked out too. I shall justify as why my reaction was as above. Actually, in Singapore, I have never seen a “mass blackout” and was always interested to see how it will turn out to be and whala… my dream came true this very day. however, the lobby of condominium opposite my house was on and I was saddened by the fact that I can’t see the pitch dark Singapore. I would say I was pretty excited that the streetlights and traffic lights of gone as well and I was kind of hoping some car will crash. Yes, I’m quite sadist if you don’t know me just yet. Therefore, I was running around, admiring the nearly pitched dark Singapore. I know I’m too old for this but it was like MASS BLACKOUT! Sorry readers, I’m emphasizing too much on the mass blackout but it’s really a MASS BLACKOUT. Oh my god, here I go again.
 
Guess what I saw as I was looking out of the window? Personally, I feel it’s quite crazy as people are actually taking photos. Taking photos??!!!! People, we are deprived of blackouts that people has to take photos to leave it as a memoir. There are also people playing with torches which are kind of expected because citizens of Singapore are deprived of blackouts. But the most hilarious thing that I saw is that people are playing with stick fireworks or whatever that is called. I was like ?!!?!?!? Are they expecting the blackout and have prepared stick fireworks to play with? Something that I don’t intend and bother to find out either. Later my friends started to message me about their homes have blacked out too and I started hoping that the whole of Singapore are blacked out but my disappointment came when my aunt told us that yishun is perfectly alright and there goes my hope too. (sadist mind at work)

I also found out something, we can’t use our handphones to call but we can message. something that buffled me as I always thought that there’s no difference in messaging and calling. Thus I found out that they are under different system and I guess I may find out further of how it works in the future. If readers have any information on this, please drop a note or comment for me, I’m interested to know.

As time drag by, I started to get tired of this whole thing, I can’t bath without lights, my beloved computer is off, there’s no fan to regulate the house and I have to light candles which made me perspire. Some people may think why we used the candles instead of torches. Actually, it’s better to use candle because it lights up the whole place while torches can only shine on a particular area so we can’t see everything in one glance. Maybe that’s my logic so if you beg to differ, it’s perfectly alright with me. haha…. after two long hours at midnight, my area finally lit up. Oh heavens, that is actually kind of great because I can serve the net(most importantly), bath, brush my teeth and sleep. Some people cheered and there’s no accident at the cross junction within my sight. Sobs. :P I’m summarizing because I’m in desperate need of a nap as I’m deprived of sleep. Maybe I will add another entry tonight or in the near future.

Also I would like to thank people from project arts as they brought us around NUS and recommended yong tau foo from arts canteen. It’s yummy and I’m looking forward to university life and hopefully, I can join the camp too!! Really want to join as I feel you guys are really great and helpful. Sorry about my crappy mouth yesterday, I think I talk too much. (something I’m surprised of because I thought I would be quiet little girl hiding at one corner) I feel like vomiting out of a sudden, I wonder why? Haha…. I’m really deeply touched by yu fen’s attempt to make the pancake and it’s a success! Wha…. I’m actually surprised and touched! (see, I repeated touched) also met serene and cherlyn from my secondary school, I’m quite shocked and glad! Hope to get connected to you girls and I’m desperately thinking of getting a shoutbox! It’s easier for my crapping session that’s on for 24 hours.

P/s: I’m not using proper English today so look out for other issues if you want to see my “more” decent English as my brain is not working properly today.
Cheers!
