Last Night, In Balakong Jaya

It was around 11ish pm when suddenly everything became so dark I couldn't see a thing. I thought the housemates didn't pay last month's electricity bill, that's why kena potong one. Sekali the whole Balakong area was in the dark too. Not only my unit, not only my block and not only my apartment. Me and the housemate were like, wah, this is crazy. It looked like the other neighbouring areas also got affected. Curious, I updated my status on fb, sent text messages to my friend who is staying in Seri Kembangan and my adik in Terengganu also LOL asking them if got blackout.

Because I thought it would be like the last time when the whole Malaysia was in the dark. That was insane!! So I thought history repeated itself last night. My housemate joked that we were actually under attack by terrorists. =__="

Anyway, yeah, saw some camera flash, very bright. So I thought should give a my handphone camera a try...and here is the result....

Epic fail. Nothing captured. Total darkness!

Almost an hour after that, the power was back on! Before that, me and the housemate couldn't sleep, and had to leave the doors open so that we could feel the breeze from outside.

Last night's ordeal LOL got me thinking how I took this small thing - electricity for granted. Just because it has always been here and there, around me. I wonder what other small things that are actually big, and precious that I'm taking for granted too. Wouldn't it be a bit too tragic and sad that you only realised it when that small thing is gone, and it can't come back on, like the electricity.

So, don't take things for granted. We often overlook the small things, the things close to us, in front of us. Okay? =D

hehehehe

Reconnect: My Journey Back to Blogging

 Hello, fellow travel enthusiasts and friends of Malaysian adventures! It's been an incredible journey, one that saw me take an unexpected hiatus from blogging for more than three years. Life happened (more like COVID happened) —responsibilities, changes, and personal growth—but one thing remained constant: my love for exploring the beauty and diversity of Malaysia. With power to put Dillan on my back, comes great responsibility! Today, I'm excited to announce my return to the world of  blogging. It's a bit like revisiting an old friend and reminiscing about unforgettable experiences. As I dust off my keyboard and sift through the memories of past travels, I can't wait to reconnect with all of you and share new adventures. Reflecting on the Past During my hiatus, I took the time to recharge, reflect, and embark on new journeys, both physically and emotionally. I've explored different aspects of life, including my passion for raising awareness about autism, delved de...

We start with... Penang!!! 5 hours after I reached Penang, I was busy helping my dad cleaning up the lawn. hehehehe..good boy! =P Later, me and my parents had nasi kandaq! Quite a heavy meal for breakfast, I know but thats pretty common in Penang, regardless of your colour skin. If you are a Penangite, you cant care less if its heavy or not. What you know is the food is gonna last you until lunch hour for another round of nasi kandaq or maybe some other meals.. The boys, back then it was still school holidays..thats why they only wake up aroun 9 -11 am... lazybums..

Koleksi Baju Raya =P

Few days ago, went to Kemaman to get new baju melayu for Hari Raya. hahaha..when it comes to this, I will just accept any baju as long as wearing it doesn't make me the centre of attention on that day. So, what do I have in my collection so far? =P Macam pengantin gitu. =P I don't remember this one. Hmmm My first Raya Aidilfitri away from home, 2007. In Melbourne with my friends from Melbourne Uni. How are you guys? Last year's culture night. Hehehehe. Ore to ore no imoto, Pam. But this purple baju melayu is not mine. My man Azman lent it to me. Thanks heaps man. =) But I guess I kinda like the pengantin one, though it did make me a bit 'famous' due to its glittering when exposed to light. I guess, I was once an Edward Cullen wahahahah! Ok, that's not funny. My bad. *ehem* ehem* The only complete family picture. With my Silat Cekak Hanafi gang at the end of 2006. What's up guys? =) So, this time around went to Kemaman, to this one shop at the basement level ...
