    Yesterday was the worst day ever, there was a problem with the sub station that was supplying electricity to my area, the houses were without electricity until next morning when the problem is fixed. I had to use many candles to light the area up. It was really boring though.

    Imagine if this problem happened with you?

    I've had a whole night without mains electricity, but thank god for batteries and gadgets that utilize such technology such as MP3 player, PSP and mobile phones :D

    A few years ago in my area the power was out for about a day or two, can't remember. To kill time me and my cousin went out biking and we had to hotpot, at night it was hot without the ac lol and we lit up some candle and took out the flashlights. I thought it was pretty fun XD

    imagine 30+ hours without electricity! Last year, my neighborhood had an outage and I was bored as hell. And I didn't want to go out because it was raining crazily. Then my ipod was running out of battery! And I played my DS until it was dead. then I put some batteries in a stereo and played CDs while I jumped around. LOL (yeah, I'm kinda weird)

    we had a power cut a few months ago...lol
    wasnt that bad i guess..cos it was still light...
    but we had candles afterwards...we ate already so meh...
    plus had like board games to keep us occupied...^^

    i think worst thing would be to have no water for a whole day..
    that did happen but luckily it was only for a couple hours...
