Later saturday night… oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I didn’t get to follow ASSIIUM went to Rumah Solehah, because of the freaking debate. I actually missed the girls!! And wished I was there with them with the children!! Aili messaged me inviting me to go to Kak Sarhani’s apartment to spend the night because there’ll be a blackout that night. The whole IIU affected. I so want to go with them but I can’t because of the freak debate the next day. I thought I will go and accompany Nun and Aisha and gave them some moral support. I wished I had just forget about the debate and just leave everything. But I didn’t.

So I spent the night reading up newsweek magazines and Hamas articles with a candle and matches right there in front of me. The blackout was to be expected at 10 pm. I was anxious about it because I was alone in my room, my roommates all three went back home.

10.00pm – Nothing happened. (Yey, the blackout’s not affecting IIU after all???)

10.05pm – Still nothing happened, but matchsticks ready at hand.

10.15pm – Yey!! It’s just rumours then!!! (but hey spoke too soon)

10.20pm – Smiling ear to ear

10.30pm – AAAARRRRggggHHH! I’m surrounded with UTTER DARKNESS

I’ve never been in THIS kind of darkness all my life. I really felt like I was dead or in some unknown place. I was so shaking when I lit the matches and shit, the flames kept going off!! And so I’m accompanied by a soft and warm candle light. It’s so comforting!!! I looked outside the window, and oh my god, it really was darker than night. I wouldn’t want to be out there. But there were some girls at ‘stage’ of Halimah and they were having a laughing and shouting, and that’s a comfort also.

And Orlando Bloom looked so handsome and romantic in the dimly lit room. haha.
