The Longest Blackout In My Life

Posted on By sweet surrender 9 Comments on The Longest Blackout In My Life

I was happily online and wanted to started my work and PUFF! Everything went black! I thought it’s only my area but later found out that whole Kuching was having this problem. Then later heard another news that whole Sarawak was affected! WOW!

It’s the longest blackout in my entire life living in Kuching. At about 6.30pm it started then only came back at 10pm+. During this 3 hours+, what would you do? No electricity, no TV, no fan, no computer, no Internet, nothing… Even had to shower with cold water brrr…


For us, we had our candlelit dinner last night. Hehehe… I decided to play with my new camera to test how good it is when under very dark situation. It could take steady photos even with my shaky hands hehehe… No bad… Most photos taken with macro mode and only 2 photos had their curve adjusted, the rest are original photo out from the camera.


Then also took photos of my phone in the dark.

During the long hour of blackout, we played with our cameras, mobile phones, candles and torch light. At the same time whinning and asking lots of questions about:
“Aiyoo… When will the power be back?!?!? I want to watch TV/my BT download halfway/I uploaded my file halfway/I want to online/it’s hot/I want to shower…”
“Why time flies so fast when no electricity!??!”
“Come, come, try to shoot this, shoot that.”
“No hot water to shower!!”
“Where’s the other torchlight?”
“Why the matches cannot use one!”
“Why other place already got power supply we haven’t got any?!?!”
“Will this last whole night!??! I want to watch TV/I need to work!!”
“Anything to do or not? Boring…”
Whole night repeating the same phrases 😛 Imagine that. Hahaha…


Shoot candles.


More candles.


Lots of stars can be seen during the early evening but later all gone and left the moon.

What you did during such long hour of blackout last night?

Beijing Olympic Grand Opening Ceremony

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on Beijing Olympic Grand Opening Ceremony

OH WOW! The longest blackout in my life! 3 and a half hours! Will talk about it tomorrow. Gosh… I have so many things that I need to do. Guess what?!?! It’s whole Sarawak blackout!!


Hahaha… I’m nuts 😛 Just imagine I was there, this post is just some scenes from our local TV station.


We were expecting to watch it on Satelite in Phoenix TV but who knows they don’t have the right to the live telecast, had to look for CCTV but didn’t know which position and channel so ended up watch our own local TV station, TV1 which only started to air it at 8.30pm sigh…


Missed the beginning and the beginnig was the best part.


The most boring part was the contingents walking into the stadium.


Luckily the Malaysian team came out at the beginning, contingent number 10.


After that Id idn’t watch but online hahaha… The TV was just on waiting for the climax.


The stadium and the president of the organising committee.


The children sang while the Olympic flag was on the way to the flag pole. I notice I forgotten to edit the picture of the people carry the flag to the pole *LOL* Lazy…


The opening ceremony was so cool! Too bad missed the beginning…

When you tell me you love me, I’m happy; when you tell me you love me, I’m stress.
When you tell me you want to marry me, I’m happy; when you tell me you want to marry me, I’m stress.
See the difference? BAH! You won’t understand anyway.


Few days ago, when to sing K again. Really crazy huh? We were there from 11am-3pm. This time we couldn’t ask them to adjust the sound system, we had to be put up with very strong echo. Using the same room again!!! *LOL* Not much kitchen smell because that time we off the suction fans thinking they were the lights! STUPID! Hahaha…

Lunch and a drink are included in RM16(non-student) or RM15(student). Again, don’t have the chance to take photos of the menu so not sure about the exact name of all the food.

Left: The snacks. This time is RM8. Hmm… I wonder how they charge?!?!? First time I went, no charge; second time, RM10; third time RM8. *SHRUG*
Right: I think this is fried ramen.


Left: Fried noodle, the noodle so “springy” and tasted not bad.
Right: Fried tang hoon.


Left: Japanese curry rice.
Right: Salted fish fried rice.


Group photos, Isaac, Ivelyn, Jimmy, me and my sis, Jean.

All photos taken with my new camera with default modes and no adjustment done except resizing.

Kuching Festival 2008 – Part 2

Posted on By sweet surrender 6 Comments on Kuching Festival 2008 – Part 2

Went to Kuching Festival again last night. This time, we managed to visit the garden and I got to test out my camera with all the flowers hehehe…

Let’s see the food first, didn’t have much last night, no idea what to eat *LOL* Not nice one… We spent RM14 for these:

Left: The crowd before 6pm
Right: Curry lamb leg(RM7), very tough -.-” So hard to eat.


Nasi Briyani and Pineappple Rice (RM3.50 each), very dry, very hard to swallow.

Enough about the food. Here’s the photos of the Garden Show. I tested my camera with it. I quite like the macro, easy to use. However, I know the pics are not good hahaha… the framing and everything are just not right. I just simple shoot without composing. No editting done, just resized.

Let’s just let the photo do the talking. Nothing really interesting to see ;P
