Electricity....
Just how many of us take the luxuries in our daily life for granted?
Take electricity for instance. Just imagine, how limited your life would be, RIGHT NOW, without the power to turn on your electrical appliances and continue what-ever it is you are doing.
Tough, isn't it? Just imagine how your grandparents must have went through...
Well, since I'm not home enjoying the services of TNB, but instead in a remote little town:), this came to me while I was perfoming on stage about 2 days back.
It was the MSA(Malaysian Students Assoc.) night and yours truly, with 2 others (Kevin and Farah) were to play an acoustic song group with a couple of songs...
Hah. We were the 7th performance lined up out of some twenty-over others and right at the end of our 2nd song, there was a blackout. Despite that, we kept on playing amidst the catcalls/boos....Pure Melvyn luck,so the blackout was quite long(relatively) about 4-5 minutes.Imagine sitting on a stage in front of an audience of 800 in the dark...
Interestingly enough, I noticed that the crowd started bringing out their mobiles and waving their lighted screens up. Not only that, people were still taking photos with the flashes blinding us. Ah, the mentality of people...when I turned to comment this to Farah..lo behold, she was waving her own phone....
Needless to say, when the power came back on, we continued on like nothing happened....
The blackout during my performance was kinda a blessing in disguise for the whole show, as we were more versatile then the other groups, whch consisted mostly of dances. Gosh, the havoc that would have occured in the middle of one of those dances....Not only that, Kevin told me later that he forgot his lyrics at that time....
Heheh...chalk it up to another experience in India.....
