yest was one of the darkest nite.
everwhere around hougang had blackout, which includes the traffic lights and street lamp. everywhere was having traffic jam aand luckily our mrt still functions.. hee.i was lucky that bab was beside me if not i feel so lost.. so lost in this wild darkness. when i got back home, we could c neighbours finding for torchlight and shining in the house. its quite comical to see such scenes as they look frantic abt it. every step was taken with caution as we might jus bump into anyone in front of us. sis jasmine was studying for her exam with the candle right in front of her. it looks as though my house has not enough money to pay for our electrical fee and poor jasmine has to be scholar of the family to study using such means. anyway hope that her exam passes with flying colours.. hee..
bab and i ate icecream as suggested by mummy and i teel u its shiok! esp with the hot and humid weather.. woo.. playful me took the opportunity to play hand shadow puppet with the candle.. hee. i always think such little things can be quite fun if u indulge in it in such situations. i will call this make the best of out of the situation., hee.. yup was playing til my mummy and bab calls me siao. and bab has to leave cos he need to report to camp tmr in early morn..
thank you bab for sending me back home. it feels really great to have you holding my hand and guilding me thru the darkness of life.. thank you...
after bab went back home, i looked out of my balcony and looked around me. the sky isnt that dark yest nite cos theres this bright almost full moon that shines over us. the stars on the sky seems more clear and shimmering when all lights of the neighbourhood is off.. though we can see torchlight flickering here and there, its still a peaceful sight. i think the most amzing thing i discovered is that my neighbour is playing mahjong in the dark. saw them having candles around them and they were going pong, gang and blah blah blah.. goodness.. they are really mahjong freaks! never fail to entertain themselves even when the light is off.. haha.. a lot of children are climbling up and down the stairs thru oput the night.. it was already 11 plus and i dunno what were they awake for.. perhaps the humidity awoke them.. hee.. i wondered.. what will happen wil someone is the lift when the power supply is off? man.. the person must be suffocating like crazy and perpiring like nuts.. lucky i am living on the second floor, thats y i did not worry abt much things.. hee..
the night made me think lots of things.. lots and lots of that has happened to me.. i wondered if i made the right decision to where im proceeding and aiming for.. i think i do.. dunno y cousin word of advice "once bitten twice shy" jus keep ringing in my head.. does everyone really get bitten once or choose not to get bitten again? are we supposed to do that in real life? or are we supposed to take the risk that is out there for us? i wonder...
once bitten, twice shy.. how apt can it be..
