Talk about not remembering what my physics teacher told me two years back..
..that circuit breakers in HDB flats now are not located outside the unit itself, instead of the inside. Well, for the older units, they have both the inside and outside.

Then, it was further supplemented by my mother that it was for safety purposes. For eg. You left the country/house and there was a fire in your unit, etc. The list goes on..

Why?
Because when it was the most crucial period that I need light to study, my mum, who attempted to start the fire suddenly screamed after hearing a boom sound in the kitchen.

Short circuit..sianz..

She was so afraid that she would get electrocuted. I, being the only brave soul, decided to carry the ladder to the circuit breaker (inside the house) and switch them back up. Weird..they look okay but no electricity seemed to flow.

Then, I called up my neighbour. The brother answered and I forgot..so I asked for his sister instead. Lol. When I heard that she was at home, I just merely said okay and put down the phone. Realised to my horror that I should have asked her brother instead. - . - ''

..So I called back. Nope, it was not one of the major blackout incidents. The problem lies with my home.

Next one was Chen Yuan - big help she was. Lolz..remembered that she took physics and that somehow she would have better knowledge on circuit breakers than the guys I know. Lolz..

..but the information she gave was all that I had known before.

Skipping everything..
..while my mum cooks with this candle that she managed to dig out from the cupboard.
..while I utilise the extremely bright lighting outside.
..while my father came back and attempted twice (inside the house)
it turned out that the circuit breaker outside the house was the main culprit (in other words, whatever my mum did, she tripped the outside circuit breaker)

Long story..but this lasted for almost an hour. Wasted my precious studying time.

Well..switched Mao Mao to it's new home today and placed it on top of my aquarium. Joy..
soon..it will become a butterfly. Probably tomorrow or the day after or the day after the day of tomorrow. Muahaha..

Grammatically wrong..oh well..

All the best for Geography CT tomorrow! ^^
