Lightning strikes

Just when I thought that turning off my laptop and router modem without plugging it out of the socket would save it from lightning - I was wrong.

It was raining cats and dogs yesterday morning along with loud thunders and way too bright lightning. The lightning managed to kick the main switch off and it rained til 9 ish. There I was moving around and doing housechores, entertaining relatives that came to check up on our progress for the wedding (4 more days?! Arienaitsuno!). It wasn't until later that I turned on my laptop and the router modem that I saw the weirdness of the situation. My laptop is still functioning but MY KEYBOARD WASN'T!!! The router, you can just say that it does connect, only that it does not receive or sending data. Yabai na kore... I was still calm, turning off my laptop and turning up the school's laptop. Still it couldn't detect my router, so I used my modem instead. It was fine. Out of sheer panic I smsed my sayang (he was working last night) and advised me what to check and all that but the keyboard was still out.

Today, I went to the computer shop to check and their advise - go to the service centre - in MASAI!! So in the end, they recommended me a USB keyboard. Now my laptop looks weird T_T

Weird. Taihen deshou? huhuhuhu

Right now, I'm watching Ryuusei No Kizuna, a new drama starring Nino, Ryo and Toda Erika (the girl who starred in Death Note - the one who had a shinigami with her) about siblings who were bent to get revenge for their murdered parents. Along the way, they swindled money from those who were bad to them. Nino was their aniki (big bro) who masterminded the swindling activities by providing dialogues to his younger siblings which of course made the drama humourous at the same time.



The opening song for the drama, by Arashi of course (since Nino is a part of Arashi), Beautiful Days. A sad song...

So anyway, my nuptial is coming real soon. Do come ^_^

emm.. since ligtning strike is that strong & quite frequent over there, i think have to put some protective equipment like surge protector, ups & stuff. at least if it strikes those things will blow first.
