vintage

gee...been sometimes since the last time i faced up with a black out...
and this time which was exactly yesterday...haha when i faced up with a black out
i found myself enjoying it...lol lol lol
seems like its been sometime since the last time i faces a black out...
which caused not only the weather at home to get even hotter...
but also me unable to do my morning rituals...

so the time i woke up i was playing a while with the blogging thing
before zoom..the lights turn off...
haha leaving the house in semi darkness and total darkness on some rooms like bathrooms
especially...
and leaving the tap water running out with nothing but an occassional drip of magic water...
i was left sleepy and sloppy for a few minutes, before i reminded of the 1500 ml of water in the water bottle that was usually place beside my sink. used at times like this...haha then i decided to brush my teeth with that...lol yeah thats what one can only do with 1500 ml of water...lol brush teeth and wash ur hands for a while...lol lol including washing the toothbrush that was coated with used toothpaste.

haha it sounds wat the hell but its true...and that makes me realised how precious water is in our lives...
and call me mad, but when i felt that cold water on my the back of my hand, i was more than overjoyed to be awaken by the touch of cold water haha.
then as i walked out to the front yard and see my mom transferring one pail by one pail of water to another bigger pail to contain the water, it reminds me how first, how difficult life is without electricity. and second, made me think bakc about the time when we were more difficult than we were now, and lived in a more 'rundown' area...and often faced up with black out...
which we eventually got used to it,and even able to walk in the dark without holding a torch light or the dimly lit candle light...hahaha (it can happen for hours)
i used to do homework in the dark too or under the dimly lit candle light...haha which obviously cause my handwritting to be 'very beautiful' hahahaha (good luck to the teachers lol )

and now that i am older, i realised the reason why last time, when we were young and dont think that black out is a big deal except that we have to bear with the heat and sleep without air con...my parents used to get so anxious about it. they will try to store up as many pails of water as possible, lit as many lights as possible etc. haha because indeed for adults, it is so damn annoying, and inconvinient. imagine you are bathing half way and the whole tap was off together with the lights...lol standing in a cold darkness...or peeing half way and find yourself locked in the bathroom because u cant open the door. lol lol dangerous...
and so, yesterday in the semi darkness of my living room i stood not only reminiscing about the past but also praying for the black out to be over. plus, for me to treassure every sources like gold. never take things for granted. lol

however, the hellish moment lasted for half and hour, (before it continue again after an hour of light, and in the end caused me to go over to my cousin house to borrow a bathroom lol lol because of the shortage of water lol lol ) and the time when the light turn on haha i was more than glad to be able to see the lights again as the lights sparkles on like magic...trang tranggggg!!!!

well anyway, i do enjoy the black out though...haha
but of course i dont wish for it to last for a long long time....lol lol the heat can make one feel burn out of the mood...lol lol

okay that's all for today... =)
