7:16 PM
Today is one of the weirdest day I've ever experienced.
I started off the day at half past ten in the morning. I went into the shower and as I was reaching for the soap I heard a loud explosion. I looked around, thinking that one of my mother's pail fell to the ground. But it wasn't. And seconds later, I felt the source of the noise - the ice cold water against my skin. The heater had gone off.
I went out of the bathroom and went into my room, switching on the lights as I went. But as I walked into the room. I realised that the room remained dim. It was then that I realised that my entire house had blacked out. This happened once to the entire neighbourhood before which lasted about 15-20minutes so I thought nothing of it this time round and headed off to school.
After half a day at school, I was on the train on my way back, I took a seat where both sides of me were unoccupied. A couple stops down, an old man boarded the train and sat on my left. I was vaguely aware of his presence as I was listening to my IPOD video and reading my Negotiation worksheet. I just know that he was stuffing this black pouch between us which irked me a lil so I slid into the seat on my right. His pouch toppled down onto the seat as I moved away. Strangely, this seemed to pissed the old man, who picked up his pouch and slammed it hard and loud into the seat. I looked at him weirdly but decided to go back to reading my worksheet. I stole a few sideward glance at him later on and notice that he was reading this small booklet with english words.
Several more stops later, he suddenly got out of his seat and, along with his pouch, flop down into a seat between two men across of me. He started squeezing his black pouch between himself and the man on his right. At this new vantage point, I could see that the tiny book he was holding was titled: The Facts About The False of Jesus. He started leaning towards the guy on his right and look as though he was reading his book out to the guy. The guy with his ears plugged with music was oblivious to this and alighted at the next stop. The old man got so pissed off that the man had left and started slamming his black pouch into the now empty seat beside him again. Seeing that, I finally realised that the old man was a nutty.
When I finally reached home, the electricity had not returned. I stoned in the living room for an hour plus waiting for my parents to come home because there was nothing I can do without power. When my parents finally came back, and several calls to PUB later, we finally traced the problem to the heater fuse and fixed the problem. My parents keep saying how lucky I was not to have been electrocuted while I was bathing haha. I guess in a way I am. But I'm more amazed by the fact that a simple day like today could have so many oddity occuring.
