Happy Belated Valentines Day

Happy V day to everyone... hope all you couples out there had another yet beautiful and memorable Valentines Day.

Mine was spent like any other day. Work and troubleshooting of work situations. Before I go into work stuff let me just say this for food of thought...Everyday is Valentines day in your heart and mind if you have found 'the one'.

Ok.. this is what happened. 7pm... black out in my residential area and soon after as I suspected, I get a call from my Citymall outlet. Black out! Sabah Electricity really gotta do something. We really have too many blackouts. I found myself in the dark in my house... as my parents and my dear brother Eugene (the handsome boy in the picture above) was preparing to go out. I contemplated for awhile and then also headed out after making few calls. So spooky staying home in pitch black darkness. I think all my neighbours were also out because it was so dark and quiet in every direction.

I arrived my destination at 8pm and after awhile at 8:30pm got a call from Citymall outlet again saying that they had to evacuate the building because there was a fire. !@#$% Hmmm... there were talks about there being an explosion. At that time the only thing they knew was that they had been some explosion that happened in the basement just beneath Giant and the fire department said there could be a bigger explosion. So now the worry of lost sales became worry of a burnt down outlet. We later found out that it was Giant's generator. It was overloaded during the blackout. However they manage to stop any other occurences of an explosion. The electricity only came back on at about 9:30pm. We had to close early that day on V day, to the dismay of the many couples who wanted to treat their loved ones to some sweets. In result of this, our other outlets in kota kinabalu town became busy and our customers had no sitting place to enjoy Valentines Day.

The sad part of this story is this... we Sabahans have so many blackouts that we have somewhat accepted it as part of our lives. Buinesses have really been impacted by these blackouts.

So much for a peaceful Valentines night... After all the commotion has settled and the outlets did their closings. Then we watched a movie, Slumdog Millionaire. I recommend this movie to everyone. The moral of the story, at least for me... there are reasons for the many things that happen to us in life, may it be joyous or difficult. What matters is the journey and the result and the end of life's journey. The whole story of the Slumdog Millionaire took place and was filmed in Mumbai. Amidst all the slum I wish I can one day visit this place and other parts of India. I am in love with the film's soundtrack, Latika's Theme.



After watching the movie, it seemed that Valentines Day was perfect again. =) Enjoy the video~~
