Throwback: Singapore Blackout

June 16, 2004 0

Writing this only 15 years later cos I cannot access my older blogs. This memory just came back and I wanted pen it down before I forget again.

So it was a weekday night and I was rushing through my uni assignment at home, when suddenly the lights went off! Then I realised that it was a massive blackout and the neighbouring blocks were dark too! So while the Internet couldn't work anymore and I cannot continue my assignment, the phone lines were not cut off, so I could get hold of Kyo and complained to him about the disruption.

He was so sweet that he asked if I wanted to go over to his place to continue on my work since his place was not affected. I agreed and he came over. I thought he would have asked me to come downstairs when he reached but nope, he climbed all the way up from the ground floor to my place on the 18th floor, to accompany me down. As I was walking down the stairs, I recalled that it was such a long and tiring walk but yet he managed coming up by all by himself just so he could walk with me in the dark.

I guess you don't always get such a sweet boyfriend but again it was probably because we were all young and super in love. Fast forward to 15 years later, this is and never will ever happen again.
