A power failure
Hot 2 |
Yesterday morning we had a black out when I was sleeping. Suddenly I felt so hot because the electric fan had stopped. My head was full of sweat when I got up so I went to the bathroom to wash my face. I thought why didn't the property management give any information or notice to tell us the power would be off.
After work, I arrived home but the power was still off. I couldn't do anything but stay. I felt so bad. I didn't know how long the power was going to be off. I lied down on my bed and still couldn't get to sleep because the temperature was high and the mosquitos were annoying. Whilst in my bed, I thought about how the power couldn't be off for even an hour at nowadays as we can't live without electricity.

- Some time ago, my building also had a power cut. They did paste a written notice at the lobby but I did not remember the date. Suddenly, booommm... power was off and my home was pitch dark. Everything went off including TV, fans, Fridge etc I didn't realise my home could be so dark without lights and I had to feel around like a blind person to find the torchlight. This made me realize how much we are dependent on electricity. It sees impossible to pass a day without electricity.
Through this experience, I noticed that the cellphone is very useful in an emergency because it can provide light and can make calls for help. I have learnt my lessons through this power off and I have made arrangement in case there is a sudden power failure, I don't have to be in a mess.
