black out again

Today once again black out happen to my village and as far as I remembered, this is the 2nd times it happen within 30 days ( if i’m not mistaken, the last time it happened was exactly end of month of march).

One source informed that, today’s blackout happened due to one cable got fired and I am not really sure what causing the previous blackout.
The blackout affect a lots of area in Brunei Muara district including Gadong, Muara, Mentiri, Berakas, Lambak as well as rimba.

Today’s blackout started as early as 3pm and at this time ( 10.03pm), the blackout still continuous, only dim candle and almost finish battery operated lamp brighten my house. It is lucky for me to charge earlier my laptop’s battery so I can add more to my blog while waiting for the electric to operate back to the normal. But my hoping getting dimmer as announcement was made that, the power failure can continuous in few more times.
It can be said that, our country didn’t have backup for power generator. If one of the generator that being used now is fail to operate, there will be no backup to resupply the power back in short time. This is our electrical department weakness. But we shouldn’t put the blame on them.

10;16ppm- the power is back. The unknown volume of sweat realised by my body now slowly evaporate rapidly. I can feel the colling effect of the fan now.

I also wonder, what happen to the banks, shop, hotel, ice cream. Maybe some bank cannot captured few transaction during the power failure, maybe shop . There must be a lots of loss in business today.

Hopefully, the same thing will not happen again in future. We can plan it, but we don’t know either what we plan will happen perfectly in the future. Just wait and see and re fix for what is away from actual plan....

Maybe in the future, we can participate in Earth Day-no electricity for certain hours at night which tool place few weeks ago
