pic from Getty Image OK... was thinking of writing a post titled Romantic Sabahan but when I blog-browsing this morning, found out that Edi-Son wrote a similar one already!!!!
Anyway, I now story you all...
I was driving back from outstation, after spending the weekend in Tawau, back to Sandakan. Time was about 7pm and there was no streetlights at all, even when I reach Mile 8. So, another blackout. No surprise huh? To those non-Sabahan, in particular non-Sandakan ppl, err... blackout is the normal event in our lives. We live with it as long as we remember. In fact, it remains a mystery why the SESB still operate and no one has to resign/sacked after whacking us for so many damn donkey years.
I remember there was a time when there's a chain email being forwarded among Sandakan people, written to the GM or manager of the Sandakan SESB complaining about the situation.
Also, there was a time when one of the transformer station exploded a certain industrial area in Mile 3 was out of electricity for more than a week and caused tremendous loss to the frozen seafood factories.
Also who can forget the irony of the day when Sandakan was declared the Nature City when there's no electricity and water supply on that day????? So aptly happened right?
Frustrations aside, it's a rare opportunity to see the moon, so bright and clear. No stars sighted though. Hmm..... it will be good to have a love one to sit next to me at the balcony enjoying the moon and the warmth of the company next to me.. See???????? Sabahans are romantic hahahaha!!!!!!
