Yesterday.

Massive blackout in the entire hostel.
There was a notice pasted on the lobby informing us that there will be electricity cut-off from 8am-5.30pm. The lifts could not work because there was simply no electricity. Initially, i thought that staying in the 13th floor was the best,adding the fact that we have a balcony of our own. Now,i seriously dread living on the highest level of the building. I climbed up and down 13 storeys of stairs, panting a little and cursing the darn construction works as i climbed the stairs.

The shops nearby were affected by the power cut-off,some had to rely on a power generator.

Our classroom had no electricity too. Our lecturers carried out lessons with the use of a blackboard,it's like back to primary school days. When lessons were over,we went back to the hostel hoping that the electricity and water have resumed. We were told by the security guard that everything will be back to normal by 6 plus. So, i went with simin, singyee and zhihui to 群光for dinner. We had Teppanyaki set meal for rmb 20.

i had chicken steak set meal, with beansprouts, egg and a soup.

After a satisfying meal,we decided to have desserts.

simin ordered this,the mango is nice.

i ordered watermelon gulingao-it's expensive and too watery.

After desserts,we headed back to our hostel. There were still a handful of people gathering outside the building. I'm so glad the lift is working. HOWEVER, the electricity was still not stable yet. It goes on and off every 5 minutes and i had to bathe in the dark for 5 minutes and with the lights on for another 5 minutes. I'm not very sure what time the electricity finally stabilised, because i was too tired and i tugged into bed at 10.40pm. It was the earliest time i slept since i came to china.

complete darkness in my room

it's too dark!i can't even see myself.
