I finally added twitter to my sidebar after signing up for it months ago yet never got around to use it. Haha.

So I dun need to update blog that often anymore. Haha...kidding.

But not yet link my phone to it yet..if I can do that I am sure updates would be even more frequent...lol..but i think i need to send whatever i wanna post to a UK number so it would be very exp and hence i dun think i will be doing tat.

Anyway, on to the second part of the title: Blackout.

-Story begin-

I was happily (well, maybe not that happy) solving some questions to prepare for my Programming Practical Exam on Wednesday..so while tearing my hair out trying to figure out the code...

WHOOSH. (rite, I made up that sound)

The whole room went pitch black and for a moment it didnt register to me that there was a blackout coz I can still hear the songs playing in my ears (I was listening songs from my phone). But when reality sets in...

"Crapz, my program!"

Coz my laptop battery died long long time ago and I didnt get a new one, so it was running on AC power all the time, and so~~.

First and normal reaction is of course to come out to see what happened. Apparently Block 5 was the only affected block. Ppl started coming out of their rooms, RHesidents who reacted faster already took out small candles(those small, circular, fat ones in a tin casing) and light them up at the corridors, torchlights are coming out, and a group of girls started singing "Happy Birthday to Block 5" at the top of their voices. Yeah right.

The RF came out and of course he started trying to control the situation by getting somebody to call CAMPUS SECURITY. I was like why on earth would you call campus security for situations like this (unless you are in McNair then you really shud call the security guard. No kidding.) Turned out that they need campus security people to get to the campus maintenance ppl to ask them to come over to help(Oh..so that theory is equally applicable in RH). And as it's quite late already..it would take some time for them to come over as well.

So we went over to Sam and EiHong's room in search for a light source and managed to distract Sam for almost half an hour and irritate EiHong who was trying to cram for Practical Exam on Wed, as well as being fed with supper by them. Haha..what a worthy trip.

Anyway I didnt manage to find out what happened in the end but when we went back to Block 5 electricity has been restored and the night continues. Thank goodness I managed to recover my program.

-The End-
