So actually it all starts with my fight with brother last night. Over some bugs. Cant stand his gayness and overwhelmed sense of timidness. And so I intended to wake up earlier than him to grab breakfast in the kitchen. Or else he would start fighting with me over food again. AGAIN. So my plan succeeded. I woke up early. Roasted some chicken in the oven in hope to enjoy a glorious and bright morning with wraps - topped up with parmeasan and sliced cheese, fresh lettuce and cripsy chicken chunks.
And so the chicken is in the oven.. In the midst of preparing lettuce, I went to check on the chicken. A nasty habit of mine. ALWAYS like to check sth in the oven when the roasting time is not up, which means , the switch is still on.
And so, the moment I check on the oven. What greeted me wasn't hot crispy chunky sizzling chicken.
BUT A STH that exploded with white fumes at the side of the oven.
Reminded me of the incident that happened in 4e1 eariler this year. When classmates poked some lead inside the plug. And leading to some mini explosion.
The one that happened in my kitchen was something not so dangerous. But definitely empowered to cause harm, if my face was inches nearer to the oven. Thank God man. Was saved again.
At the spur of the moment I thought all possible consequence was just - the dumb oven scared the shit out of me and now its spoilt. Bye sucker. BUT I WAS WRONG, very very wrong.
So my brother who was sleeping yelled at me I switch of his fan. Back in my head Im like > Dafug I have yet to recover from the mini stupor and now someone is blastering and clamouring at me?!!!!!!!
But.... it eventually sank to me that.... the electricity has been cut off. My physics instincts reminded me to check out the ELCB board. Happily went storeroom , check all mains and turned back the ELCB switch. Thinking that I could get back at that ass for shouting at me.
But nothing happened. Electricity not back. Brother woke up. Started hurling scoldings at me. Well it all starts from me. Fine, I didn't retailiate. I got panic. Left to figure out whats wrong. Called mom. Called father. They told me I should check the MCB outside the house. Got my neighbours but realised that the lock to main electricity and MCB is Bloody hell locked. WHY? #BadLuckMe x 2.
So just gotta wait for parents to be back. Tried using pliers and hammers to break the lock. Tried using all keys to open the electricity switch lock. Because I happily assume its that.
DIDNT TRIED THE MCB ONE.
So my mother came home. Used hammer and broke the lock on electricity. The switch is not down. SO ITS THE MCB.
Tried breaking lock of it for 15 mins. And realised I didn't even try to use keys to unlock it. So I tried and it opened, successfully.
#BadLuckMe x 3
Got mum back to resolve everything and took away her half day leave. Just to realise everything could be solved if I really did bother to us the keys to open the MCB lock. Why didn't I? I only knew how to assume. How to snatch food. Cry during stupid times when I shouldn't.
Anyways. Heres what I learnt.
1 . Its important. Really. Not to lock all those important stuffs. Imagine, if theres a fire. Are u gonna to rummage for the keys and try to retrieve all your impt documents. Which eventually lead to inability to escape because the fire is growing too big ? Think. Well I do understand for privacy and safety reasons people use locks to safeguard their items. Know what to lock and what not to.
2. Think. No use to cry and panic. Which doesn't even lead to anything. If I bother to check the MCB, i will be more than glad to be able to solve this myself.
3. Be thankful. Be thankful I am safe. Phew.
Okay I think, when I recall and read this post again. Its gonna be a recollection of mixed memories .
