Blackout

I was halfway through an episode of Downton Abbey with Anita when suddenly it was dark. There was blackout. And as expected, Idlan freaked out from his room.

We soon realised that it was not just our unit. The whole block - as well as the adjacent block - were all dark except far the lights coming from the corridor which were powered from an emergency generator at the basement. The generator also allowed one if the lifts to function which was great in situation such as this.

We decided to stay put. We opened the door to the verandah and just sat there listening to the chatter coming from the guardhouse. The Resident's Facebook face said that TNB was already informed and they were on their way.

It took them quite a while before the problem was fixed and the power returned almost an hour after it went out. Too late for Downton Abbey already now. Straight to bed maybe ....
