I think the monsoon season has arrived, it's been pouring on a daily basis now and I DON'T have my wellies! Darn. This is further dampened by School, as it's becoming more like a bore and chore now. I hope December beholds something bold & bright to cheer up my holidays.
In fact, the extent to which I am affected by the thunderstorms is ridiculous! Last saturday (31 Oct), the lightning struck my house multiple times at 7+pm, plunging my entire house into pitch black darkness. (My house's electricity trips to protect the electrical appliances when lightning strikes.) We discovered that there is an apparent lack of torches, and there weren't enough to go around. So my mom, brother & I were at the kitchen table, trying to light some candles. It was funny as we didn't even have proper candles to do so as my mom had refused to let us light candles at home since we were young. So I took a candle upstairs to my room and i could only stare at it forlornly, when i should be doing my work before heading out. It's a stark reminder of just how much we are dependent on electricity, even when we don't think that we are tech-addicts. Thereafter, we had dinner by faint, flickering candle light.
I was so grateful when the flashing lightning and rolling thunder subsided after dinner. I was getting dressed to head out when my bathroom light blew. FML.
