A disruption in natural gas supply from Indonesia caused a power blackout over many parts of Singapore at 10:15PM. Power resumed 30 minutes later. This is the first time in 10 years of staying in Ang Mo Kio, 20 years of my life, I experienced a blackout.
Damn, watching the last episode of Gokusen when it suddenly occurred. So I went out of my room to find that even the HDB flat opposite too, was struck by this blackout. Looking around, only a few blocks of homes far away did not suffer from this incident.
So I felt helpless. Can’t do crap. SMSed a few friends, one replied that Bishan too, fell victim. The radio function of my Nokia 6610 was put to good use. Tuning in to NewsRadio, I found out about other areas like Jurong East, Clementi, Thomson, Holland too got struck.
As I waited, I stood at my kitchen window and looked. The blocks opposite had flickering lights. The moon, almost full, shone it’s light at me and the view around was mystical…. dreamy…
Now my electric fans are up and running and keeping them damn mosquitoes away.
yup.. blackout struck bishan..
played with my torch & yakked on the phone :P
Haha… My friend’s house also gena. But my area wasn’t affected. Everything still as per normal. -_-
