What A Chinese New Year...The Full Story

Sorry guys for such a delay, yes I've been busy and had to travel back to Ipoh for Chinese New Year. So yes, you guys are in a real treat of what kinda CNY I've been through. Not what I expected but it works :)...So here's the story...

So got all our bags ready, there we were driving off to Ipoh in my dad's Toyota Camry...The whole journey was boring and I fell asleep XD... So along the highway(half way to Ipoh), WHOAH!! BIG JAM!! whoah~ but there was no accident or anything...the only accident we saw was across the road, man, the car overturned and the doors were bent inwards, but of coarse I couldn't see anyone cause it was kinda late already.................................................................(fast forward)

Chinese New Year Eve...
So we got ready for the dinner, I dressed casually la. WAH... the food is good, haha, as always^^. So got back from the dinner, we do our usual house cleaning...and I mean both in and out of the house. So.............finish work haha, watch a little movie. (Late at night) was getting ready to sleep, POOP!!! There goes the electricity...most of the women went our to aunt's place cause they can't stand the heat. So there was only 7 of us, my dad and I couldn't sleep. He tried loadz of  times calling the people...
So while waiting, we went for a walk, and my dad didn't want to walk so far anymore, he went back, i continued. HAHA... that was the time I felt like a warrior haha...here's how it goes (and yes, it was what I been through that night)

It was 1220,the lights went out,only the chill of the wind could be felt. We waited until 2am, it was still the same...0230, same as before. I decided the best was to scout around.

My mission: Search for houses with electricity... lol...the 2nd last house gt electricity, and they're playing their PS3!! As I walk past every house, with a broken tree branch in my hand for protection,dogs here and there, it was no surprise the dogs barked at me repeatedly. The chill of the night was my companion as I scouted. I noticed many guys drop off their gfs to their houses, my guess is that they went clubbing before the lights went out.

My dad was still on his phone trying his best to get the people to get the power back on. We prayed and prayed yet nothing happened, thus we left all this to God since there was nothing we could do. We got 2 chairs and sat in the MIDDLE of the road. (yes, the whole road there was only 2 of us in the middle!) so my dad and I just sat down, chatted a lot about stuff. It's been a long time since I sat down with my dad and have a nice long chat. At 0325...this came!
Finally the TNB people came!!! Thank God for their presence!!! So while they check, we gave told them everything and they did their work... So they did their work...we continue chatting, POOP!! This time, all the houses went black! XD...minutes later, THANK GOD!!! At 0353, the lights power came back!! Now I can sleep happy!! Man, did God tested our patience...With all the mosquitos and the heat around the place, I thank God for TNB and this shows I have to develop my patience. Luckily my dad was there to give me some company, if not I would have been bored to death... So praise God for TNB... XD

No, I'm not gonna post about CNY day...cause it's boring~ TQ for reading, your reading is much appreciated :)
