3 Hours of Powerlessness

I've survived to tell the story...

For the past two nights the emergency light in the hallway has proven its worth. One black out the night before, three the previous. It's kinda obvious since all the street lamps were dead, so once those peeps got the hint, the power came back within less than half an hour.

The worst I've to say would be today, a hot sunny (really sunny) late morning, with no fan, no air-conditioning, no cold drinks (din't wanna risk bringing down the temperature in the fridge). For a whole straight 3 *BEEP* *BEEP* hours. To make it even more unbearable, I'm stuck with only one *BEEP* cup of coffee coz I can't use the electric kettle to make another .... Why do I have the bad feeling that those fellas didn't even notice that the power's off?

Without electricity for 3 hours, even Yumi's complaining about the heat. What can I do without TV and internet? Sigh.... Finished the latest edition of my photography mag which was sitting at the corner collecting dust and started off the first few page of this book I bought which I never had the motivation to turn the pages. Oh and some mango to distract me from the rashes on my body from the heat.

Cow's kinda oblivious to all our torture, he's resting his back in slumberland. I've managed to convince him to skip work today. Since returning to work (which I did warn him not to) the condition of his back hasn't improved, instead it took a turn for the worse. Well I did had a go at him last night with all the "See!!!! I TOLD YOU SO!!!!". As for today, I'm glad he heed my advice.
