I was totally petrified.Originally posted by the Bear:well, Clementi got hit with blackout
i think mookie's place also kena coz marine parade was reported blacked out on the radio..
thing is now my tv has gone nuts... watching the Jimmy Dean movie, Giant.. and the sky's purple...
I have that too!Originally posted by the Bear:it pays to have a small LED light
i was about to swear loudly coz the fusebox in the house has not given us problems for a couple of years since we rewired the whole house... used to trip for no apparent reason before
thought it had died again
then saw the neighbours also dark... reached for my keypouch and flicked the LED light on
neighbours also v funny... switched on their car lights to illuminate the inside of their house
Originally posted by MooKu:I have that too!useful when I'm looking for the keyhole
But it wasn't really helpful just now.
I had alot of light-sticks, all lining the staircase... And my brother had two big fluorescent lights, and my dad had some really bright lightbulb powered by his laptop batteryI betcha my house was the brightest in the street just now.

i can't turn on the telly.. dunno why.
i used to have this old tv set at home, the quality was so bad, most of the time we were guessing who was on TV cos it was so blurred...Originally posted by the Bear:choco? she said it's okay already... but worrying coz it was a cut....
hmm... tv? remote control? try the physical switch...
my tv colour's still messed up

the physical switch doesn't work too.
Wow green hair.Originally posted by the Bear:got the little red LED light?
maybe the power failure caused the fusebox to trip?
check the socket in the wall...
my tv was okay before the blackout.. right now, Glenda Chong has green hair
Originally posted by MooKu:Wow green hair.She'd be delighted to know what a makeover she got after power was restored.
Don't have the light... Everything else is working... the VCR, the DVD player, the foot massager... but the telly.
I wonder if anyone was made bankrupt during the blackout.Originally posted by the Bear:hmmm... coulda been blown out...
wonder if you can sue Singapore Power if the tv is blown out
