Blackout on 833

it was 2 a.m. in the morning... the chandelier in the living room starts to flicker... then...

POOOOF!! Total Darkness!

Geez! What happened? I straight head for the main circuit board, thinking that there's a power surge ... but all was alright. Immediately felt the stuffiness, i opened the living room door. A burning smell rocket up my nose. I asked wife if she smells anything. Apparently, she doesnt. Father in law got up from his sleep.

I went outside, to check if the neighbours had a similar sudden power failure. Then, i noticed something sparkling at the corner of my sight. The circuit box outside the house had soot marks... and a think live wire was flickering.

Wife called HDB to lodge a complain. And of course, she's shit worried about her fishes. (Thank god none died.) By then, neighbours start to come out from their homes. Probably, they felt the aircon or fans arent working...

After the uncle (look picture) rectified the issue, it was close to 5 a.m. Zzzzzzzz......

You call this exciting? This is irritating!
