Black out, Dried up and yey! KL daytrip

on 3/06/2005 12:04:00 PM
On friday, it was horrible. I woke up at 9sth, right after i've gone to toilet and came back, i twisted the tap and nothing came out. I turned it again and again and groaned. What the hell happened?! No water!! who's big idea is this!? Arggghhh....
After attending to the applied maths class (sleeping most of the time anyway) i came back with a glum face, only to find out that it's gonna be dry the whole day. I heard someone talking about the bulletin notice online, so with a shrug i went to check out. True enough, there's a notice stating that the water shortage due to the repairation of the bursted water pipe will continue until 5pm, or so they said. scrolling down, i saw another notice. This is outrages!! first no water, now power supply?! Go to hell, MMU!! Arggghhh!!!

cooling down, saw the notice said that it'll be a black out at 11pm until 5am in the morning. When i told Kristine about it, she snapped. She was so pissed that she shouted and cursed, her eyes filled with fiery anger. With the engulfing fury hissing and burning, she threatened to pack and stay over her fren's house. I was abit stunned to see her reacting so fiercely, though part of me was expecting it... And i thought i was angry. ha. After a while, as i was keeping dead silence with a bewildered look, she cooled off and jumped on her bed and sulked. Frankly, she needed electricity at night more than i do, since she's nocturnal. haiz. She must have figured that ranting to me, who did not response but simply stared at her with that nonchalant look, was futile after all.

Then, she sprang up and packed. I thought she was really going to ran off to her frens house, and got abit worried. But i was wrong. She was packing all her water bottles in her backpack and i instantly knew wat she's gonna do. i smiled and continued to watch anime. Since we're going to have no electricity at night, might as well make the most out of it now. When Kristine came back, she dragged her bed onto the floor and sat there watching LOTR extended version.

We watched until 7sth, before Loo Mun came and dragged us to dinner. We ate the Nasi Lemak and on the way back, we decided to make a daytrip to KL on saturday, since yining and her gang's going too. Kristine got really excited as she'd wanted to go to Low Yat to buy her long aspired Altec Lansing speakers. So, it's decided that we go to KL next morning really early. After getting back to our room, Kristine can't wait to dig up her savings from the bottle. ehhe.. It was a totally different scene compared to earlier :p. We keep our computer on until the last minute. No one wanted to off the com even when it's approaching 11pm. I continued with editing my wallpaper while not forgetting to save every now and then. I was really excited as even after i've finish editing, the electricity was still on and it's pass 11pm. So, happily i uploaded the wallie and showed it to some of my frens while chatting.

Without warning, it suddenly puffed and everything blacked out! "Shit!!" was our first reaction. We groped in the dark for awhile as Kristine searched for her torchlight. Loo Mun came with a bright light shining on us and boasted that her laptop can still last for 3 hours. So we decided to hang around her airy room and listen to songs. Her room was so windy and cooling that it lulled me to slumberland. But after awhile, me and Kristine decided to return to our room to continue our sleep. So we dragged ourselves back to our stuffy room and dropped dead.

The next morning, i woke up at 7am (rare case) and took a bathe (even rarer) before the water dried up again.. sigh. then when all were readied, we went to the bus station. We waited for the bus wira until 8.30 and only reached the bus station before 9.30am as the bus made a detour to town. We hopped on the 9.30 bus in time and reached KL at 12 noon. Then, after dropping off the bus near Jalan hang tuah, we walked to Low Yat and begin the search for Kristine's speakers. Yining and gang broke off and went to Time square instead after bidding goodbye to us.

All the way, Kristine was so anxious to get her hands on the speakers that when most of the shops on 2nd floor were out of stock, she got really crestfallen. But even so, we kept on searching and scouring every nook and corner, until we got to 3rd floor. There, we walked around and Kristine spotted D speaker at display in the corner. She rushed there and asked the salesman to test it. It was good as we hear the bass booming across the place. And so, Kristine had found her baby finally. We were glad too, but i'd never thought i'd get sumthing in the end too! I was browsing around the shop when Kristine signal me to the row of speaker and asked me to choose one. I gave her a bewildered look and then Loo Mun said it's my birthday present. Surprised and excited, i chose one really expensive looking usb speakers, which is pure white in colour. Cool~ i was really grateful, now that i can finally blast songs again.. ^^

After that, we carried our 'babies' to pudu station to buy tickets back to melacca. it was not too far away as we reached there few minutes later. Then, we reached Taman bahagia station via LRT after going to Petaling Street, where i bought a Swatch watch :P, and we were brought to lunch by Kristine's sister. We ate the seafood curry mee, which was filled with big prawns, oisters and sotong. We savoured the delicious sizzling mee and ate the seafood filled with contentment. At about 4sth, we ate till the last morsel and left for One Utama. There, we window shopped in the new wing, and tried on clothes and shoes for fun. Before long, it was time for us to go, carrying back a few shopping bags of clothes. We bid goodbye to Kristine's sister and went off.

The Transnational bus we boarded was brand new and we had a very comfortable ride back to melaka. At about 10.30pm, we reached our room and set up our speakers eagerly. And so, throughout the night Kristine blasted her new speakers and woofer madly, with me enjoying it along~^^ it was the best sound system ever! Cool~
