Friday, January 14, 2005   Blackout
There was no power supply in my floor around 12.30pm yesterday. out of curiosity I peeked out of my window and saw the traffic lights not working. Some people in the office using laptops managed to IM their friends and found out the whole Klang valley has no power. After 1 hour of lounging around, talking crap and teaching a Malay guy Tamil the fire alarm rang.
In my building when the fire alarm is on the elevator isle will be closed down automatically. This is to prevent people using the lifts during a fire but there's a firemen lift hidden into the walls near the staircase! Some of the people in my office took the stairs (42 floors down) but I took the elevator. During the ride down there was a slight anxiety about the possibility of the lift stopping halfway but nothing happened.
Back in my company's HQ I saw a TV station car. A press conference for the blackout. About 3 states were affected. Power at my home came at 6.05pm.
