2 Hour Blackout

We had power shortage at about 12.25pm, shortly before lunch break (I couldn't heat up my nasi lemak!). We thought this was normal (power tripping is a VERY common thing in Elid), only to find out that the whole area was affected too. I seriously pitied our next door neighbour, Secret Recipe. Sure make losses... Us? 'Lepak je lar' in the R&D room as darkness surrounded us. Couldn't really go out, anyway, too hot to even want to picnic at the 'taman' in front of our office. Hehe..

Then realized everywhere else also 'kena' - Damansara Perdana, UM, Sunway, Subang, Cyberjaya, Putrajaya, Mid Valley, Bukit Jalil.. Heard that a power generator in Cameron's was shut down also.. Even had trouble making calls from the handphones.. Aduhai.. Thank goodness Bangsar (or rather, my area) was not affected at all!! Coz we've got renovation going on at home! Hhm.. Must be the fact that we chose a good date from 'tong sing' (Chinese almanac) for renovation. Hehe.. Mummy must have been soooooo glad...

Anyway, wanna know the cause? It's due to power tripping in Kapar's power station.. You can read that news here. Other news related to the blackout are in The Star, The Sun, Bloomberg, TV Smith (this is damn cute) and Jeff Ooi. More of fellow bloggers' point of views are in Visa, PapiMami and Oliviasy. ;)

Now that electricity is back, it's back to work for everyone!
