I can't imagine my luck. This is the 2nd time in this year that I experienced a blackout.
First was the Nicoll Highway collapse. I was at Suntec at that time. Heard so many "eye witness" saying they felt and heard an explosion. I was so near yet I felt nothing. Maybe I am just too insensitive.
Now this blackout in nearly whole of singapore!!! I was just lying on the floor when suddenly POOF!! no lights!! I looked out the window and I saw total darkness except for the moonlight. COOL!! The news says it is due to some problems with the natural gas supply from Indonesia.
This only served to reinforce the fact that we as a small country are totally dependant on our neighbours for things like water (Malaysia) and Natural Gas (Indonesia) which are rather vital to our survival. Haiz... maybe someday in the future we may solve the water problem with newater. But what about natural gas? it remains that we have no natural resources in our country. Hopefully we can find a solution to that in the near future. Maybe my research in the future can help?? In the meantime we can only hope this peace lasts and we never fight among our neighbours. Actually i hope peace lasts forever.

How long can this peace last?
