We got power failure!!!

Hey ya'll

Yesterday night, for two nights in a row I found myself sweaty and annoyed...well, at least annoyed enough to contemplate calling up Tenaga National Berhad and giving them a piece of my mind, and a stern talking to besides! I mean seriously, we're not paying well...I don't know how much but I'm sure is a lot of money every month just to have my air conditioning die on me at night when I need to sleep. And here's the sickest part of all...of all the places it affected, it only happens to my room!!! There's injustice for you! Here's what happened yesterday (because, that in my opinion was bad enough without even taking into account what happened the night before)

9.00pm - Power failure in my room. No air-cond and no lights. Resort to lounging around my living room

9.30pm - Quite pissed off. Called Tenaga to complain.

So then I just thought maybe I'd watch The Simpsons until the power comes back on.

3.ooam - Still no power

By this point, of course I was getting quite pissed off. I mean, I think I'm usually a very chill person, but seriously, 8 hours is hardly what I would call "speedy service". But still, "fine!" I thought and just went to watch TV instead. Good news, CSI: Miami reruns was on so maybe I'd watch that until the power came back on.

3.25am - power blackout!

So I open my door and stick my head out a fraction and it seems the whole street's been black out. For one second I said to myself "Good! Now we're all fair!" Next second "Please let someone else complain" (coz i figure by now they must be sick of listening to me whine over the phone) and I suppose someone must have coz the next thing I know I started hearing noises outside of my house.

4.30 - Group of men and a truck in front of house. Burglars? But apparently not

It was actually quite interesting really, and since I could not get to sleep I pulled back my curtains, settled myself on the couch and watched those Tenaga dudes fix the power lines or something. I was actually quite tempted to go outside and watch but...you know I don't want them to suddenly expect me to "reward" them with lemonade or a late nite "makan" or something.

5.00am - Power came back on. Hallelujah!!! (pardon me, I'm not Christian)

About time! I was thinking. I watch the dudes disperse and then decided to go to sleep. But of course by then I was already sweaty and sticky and, there's simply NO way I could've gone to sleep like that. So I took a cold shower first.

8.30am - woken up just in time to go to university.

Man I'm tired.

PEACE OUT
