Electrifying
So there was a blackout in my house last night. Apparently due to the thunderstorm which blanketed the whole of KL. The blackout happened around 5pm when i was in Laundry for a special movie screening to watch "There's Only One Jimmy Grimble".
The movie was not bad.. The lead actor kinda looked like Wayne Rooney when he was a boy. This actually suited the movie's theme which was about football. However, there was that one thing that disappointed me. That kid should've been a United fan instead of supporting the blue half of Manchester.
Anyways, headed home after the movie. I even managed to avoid a massive jam and made it home only to find out that there is no electricity. Only a few houses are affected on my road due to a blown circuit due to the lightning. By now it was around 6pm. So my family and I waited.. 7pm.. and waited.. 8pm.. By now the entire house was pitch black:
we continued to wait.. 9pm.. and wait.. 10pm.. and wait.. 11pm... until finally some TNB technicians arrived.
We talked to the supervisor and he said the whole power supply to the entire road has to be cut to ensure the safety of the technicians that are gonna fix the problem.
Great. Now the whole street is pitch black. People started coming out of their houses and there were a few shouts thrown towards the technicians. Nonetheless, they've managed to fix the problem by midnight and restored power back to all the houses.
Full credit to the technicians for fixing the problem. Bollocks to TNB for their efficiency.

Posting Chairs
Hello.. Yes I know I know, its been awhile..
Saturday 30th Sep 06
Helped my friend Raymond Yip to move furniture such as wardrobes, shelves and chairs from his previous home in Palm Springs, Sunway Damansara to his new home in Aman Suria. There are many things to learn from shifting from one apartment to another and I for sure acquired some valuble lessons:
When shifting from one home to another, make sure you
1. pack and have everything readied
2. have trolleys around to ease moving huge objects
3. have vehicles that are capable of carrying huge loads
4. hire someone to do the moving for you
Either that or,
1. don't shift homes
2. buy all new furniture and fittings
Anyway, its been a good experience and hope you enjoy your new home Raymond!
A special shoutout to Seng Foo as well...

Its been a good day for these 2 lads:
Solskjaer and Man Utd for putting 2 goals past newcastle to put the devils back on top and Schumi for making it all square at 116 pts between himself and Fernando in a classic Shanghai Grand Prix
Another special occasion occured to a very special Isaac Tan whose birthday happens to fall on this date (2/10/06). Went to the curve to celebrate and lotsa wild things happened. This includes him standing on a chair. I'll leave it at that...

Met up with Ryan and Fye after college. Headed to OU where we kinda didn't know what to do.. Met Ting there as well.. We ended up (well Ryan ended up actually) trying the batting cages thingy which was quite cool.
At night, went out with Ryan and Loong. Stopped by Allen's place without him knowing and kinda caught him *offguard* We then headed to PJ to pick up Fye from her 2 1/2 hours add math tuition. Ryan and I would surely have died if we were attending.. Her tuition was supposed to end at 10.30pm but she got out at around 10.45pm. During the "waiting period", we used Ryan's car's boot as a chair. It was during this period as well where we saw strange things such as talking dogs, runaway cats and erratic mosquitos...
