i can't see my hand!

damn the two hour blackout. i was reading a book in my cosy airconditioned room when pooof!! darkness. instinctively, i looked out from my window and saw that the entire neighbourhood was dark, save for the occassional flashes of light from passing cars.

so i sat in the darkness, feeling irritated, hot and bothered. i worried that my cheesecake would start rotting in the fridge. my brother worried about his maths paper tomorrow. so i lent him my phone and he was able to continue his revision by the light of 2 nokia 6610s.

i waited and waited. walked round the house, fanned myself continuously with postcard, tried to meditate. but i was still sweating buckets. so when the lights finally came on at 12midnight, i immediately switched on the aircon to full blast and sat under it. so after this ordeal, i came to one conclusion: i can live without food, but not without electricity//
