A blue moon experience

it's normal to experience blackout at home or at school... but at our workplace, that's rare... it's not the office kind of workplace but a western style restaurant which only starts opening in the evening. furthermore, the blackout happens on a Saturday where business is at it's peak... so... we cannot use blender, oven, fan, radio... but still we managed to do our business... our place is still full of customers. candles became our main source of light.

only then i realised how important electricity is to us..

the counter

the place where i make drinks

washing the dishes with the light from only one candle

the kitchen

* sorry larr... with only 1.3 mega pixels, these are the pictures i managed to get

however, on that night... the condition was different.. not a normal blackout.

God seems to be helping us.

During the afternoon, the weather was freaking hot but as the sunsets, it gets cooler... it almost rained but did not.. then there were cool breeze blowing constantly... replacing the fan. that's why we still receive customers... furthermore, the wind was not the kind of strong one... the candle manage to last for the hold night without being blown off by the wind. so no customers complained. in fact it was much cooler than the normal days when we use fans

and then at around nine, God showed us the nature's beauty. there was lightning striking... really beautiful ones but no thunder at all.. so it's just the pattern of lights brightening the dark sky. Really amazing..

here, i managed to take video of some the lightning..

the lightning is too fast so please be patient with the video...darkness most of the time
