Lights Went Off

8.20pm - Reach home with roomie.

8.25pm - Rommie went out for date. Home alone. Feed Cooper & Connie.

8.30pm - Lock the room. Take shower. Light goes off. O.M.G.

*Lost for 10 mins*

Self-analysis: Its totally dark. Other units are fine. The lights went off while I'm taking shower. Rommie just went out. Digi server is down, I can't call/receive call as smooth as usual.

Self-conclusion: Someone sneaked in. Cut off the electricity. Trying to lure me out of the room. I should not step out of the room.

For a few minutes, struggling whether to call roomie or not, she shouldn't be too far from house.

But, will this pissed her bf off again?

8.40pm - Finally pick up the courage to call roomie. Phone got through after several attempts.

*Roomie on her way back.

9.00pm - Roomie reach home. Its just a 'jump' problem. Reconnect the electricity. Roomie's bf walked off.

9.05pm - Roomie went out.

9.10pm - Lights goes off AGAIN. What?!!

Self-analysis: It's a jump again. Heard a guy's voice, someone is at the corridor beside the wet kitchen. No matter how helpless I am, cannot call roomie, they'll argue again. I MUST NOT DO SO.

Self-conclusion: Even if I'm attacked, I need someone to know I'm in trouble.

9.15pm - Call bf. Phone got through after another several attempts. No one answered.

*Lost for 30 mins*

A list of names went through my mind. Suddenly realized that I have no one else to call for help. Sitting silently in room, all sorts of bad scenarios kept flocking into my mind.

9.50pm - Bf called. Picked up the call. Finally have the courage to walk out of the room to reconnect the electricity. Phew.

Conclusion: Time to overcome own fear of darkness and get rid of the extraordinary imagination.

You might be wondering why am I making such a big fuss of it.

Read this.

Suppose that you're staying in an apartment where someone got killed at the car park, with 1 female roommate staying with you only, with your unit at the end of the corridor with more than 20 foreign workers staying at the opposite unit, always disturbed by unknown strangers while taking lift, experienced reaching home during midnight to discover someone sneaked into your house.

Would you not call someone for safety purpose?

When it comes to alone on a dark night, I gotta admit that I've become more suspicious after Bobby is gone.

After all, there isn't any bark-to-alert anymore.
