feeling faint

*breathless*

i am feeling very faint right this moment and i think i might be fainting soon.

i came home to an unusually quiet house and i thought something is a miss. realised it only after i trotted into my room that i realised that there is a power trip.

urgh. walking in the dark, i groped around for a torch without avail. damn! why are all the torches in my house tiny ones that i cannot find in the event of emergency. thanks to my good memory, i went to the kitchen, and found a lighter in one of the drawers. promptly found the little torch light in my room (i knew it was there when i searched earlier but i JUST couldnt get it!) and headed on the mission to activate back the electricity.

after climbing up and down in my tight dress (i had no choice cos i couldnt SEE, hence no clothes to change), and popping indoors and out, i still didn’t get it on. so the sweat beads came on, i was panting and out of breath, stuck in a stuffy situation with no light, i made a SOS call to my brother.

aiyah! turns out that i need to pop the TWO switches outside to turn on the electricity. i keep thinking the other switch belongs to next door cos that was how it used to be in the past! now i feel so dumb. shows how long i havent had the chance to switch back the electricity because mum was home all the time after she became the full time housewife.

finally got it on and i’m trying to catch back my breath and stable my world now. am woozy and breathless from the whole episode. i think it stems from me being unwell on the way home. keep wanting to puke. must be the milk tea i drank in the late afternoon.
