Yesterday morning at around 11 something, there was a POWER OUTRAGE in Clayton campus. Even though, I didn't have classes on Monday, I was still affected cause the Halls was hit too.
Damn. It was really
inconvenient with electricity. But, luckily I woke up at 10 plus. Had my shower and brunch just before the power outrage.
Well, this is not the first time I had experience power outrage. The first time was during the first semester of 2006. There was a serious road accident along blackburn road. A truck crash into one of the pole which apparently connect the electricity of the Halls and the area near halls. I remember it happened around midday, cause I was out shopping with Alia, and Pauline called me about it. At first they said lights would be back at around 7pm, and then it dragged till 9pm, and it dragged further till 11pm. Haha. I still remember we had to take the stairs cause the lifts was out too. I was kind of fun in a way or so. Hee. Getting scared and scaring people who climbed up the stairs. Hidding behind those doors. Ha. This power outrage sure brings back memories. Also, that night, the library was packed with people from the halls. Studying, using computer and so on. I was not part of that group cause I went to Roberts hall to look for a friend. Haha. The only place not affected was Roberts and Richardson, apparently they run on a different electricty circuit from the rest of us.
The second time was during december 2006. Well, the halls wasn't affected at that time. But I so happend to be in the library studying for my exams. And the sudden blackout really freak me out. haha. As during summer, there wasn't really a lot of people in Uni already. With the blackout, the security guards started chasing people out of the library. At that time, I was only hoping that the halls are not affected. Cause from the previous experience, I knew that the halls and Uni should be running on different circuits. As I walked back with Ken, we purposly past by the Sports Centre to see if it was affected. And, YES, it was. *faints* But, luckily when we got back to the halls, WOOHOO~ It wasn't affected at all. It does assure me that the Halls and Uni run on different electricity circuits.
However, yesterday, both the halls and uni was affected, even Roberts was not spared. I called the operations office after the power outage. Once the line got through, the person didn't even let me explain the situation, he already started explaining what happened. Hahaha. What was funny was he said the blackout could be due to some trucks hitting into some ploes along blackburn road or a trip in the Uni circuits. HAHAHA. I thought to myself isn't the truck incident like last year. Anyway, I didn't question him further cause I could hear hit panting at the other end of the line. He must be running around picking up all those calls. Cause, after a while, Tracy, our college head, announced through the PA system NOT to call the operations office about the blackout. She said it was due to the uni. So, there was nothing I could do. Called evelyn to ask her to come back and accompany me. haha. Anyway, we were just hanging out in my room when Varuna called me and told me he was LOCK IN his own house. WHAHAHAHAHA. That was the second funniest thing I heard yesterday. Gosh! How do you even get locked in. AND, and, his key was with his friend in Howitt. I thought I would be nice to help him bring it to his house cause his friend doesn't know where is his house. I went to knock on her door and got the key. (OS: Hmm, how come his key is with her?? Something is going on~~ Hee) Walked over his place and he gave me tim tams and apple pie. AHH.. I love apple pies!! Anyway, when I got back to the halls, I sat down with Evelyn in the common room to chat and started to finish those tim tams. We even made a bet saying the lights would not come until after 7pm. Since the both of us made the same bet, it equals to no bets at all.
Well, all I can say is luckily we didn't made any bet at all, cause the lights came back at around 5pm plus. *faints* We have already made plans for tonight to eat out already. But in the end, we were too lazy to cook, we walked to Pinewood to eat. When Erwin called me to go Glen, I was alright with it. It doesn't really matters to me as long as I get to eat. haha. Then, later on, I know he bluff me. He said Xiao Kang wants to go Glen. Actually, she wants to go Pinewood. Haha. In the end, we walked to Pinewood and had dinner.
I really had lotsa of exercise yesterday, cause after dinner the lifts was still not working...
Anyway, Tracy announced that classes, including tutorials and labs would be cancelled for Tuesday which is today. And, there was a loud "YAY~~ WOOHOO~~" Haha.. I guess it was really good for some of them, they got an extension of datelines out of nothing. Haha..
