Locked inside on stormy weather
I was shit scared this afternoon. The rain fell heavily and it just didn't sound like the usual. I looked outside, and wow. The tree was swaying left and right, with the thunder repeatedly threatening me. I just couldn't bear to look and pretend everything was okay. I turned off the television because the lights seemed to be flickering. Thankfully Aga understood when I said "We have to turn TV off now because it's raining outside and it might break the TV."
Preeti called only to add to my fear. They lost the power in their house. My first thought was the fridge. We have so much stuff in the freezer, enough to make me start praying. Where is Nagi when I need him?! Huh. Why something like this must happen when he's far away? >.<
I kept my mobile phone in charge although it was still full from charging all night the night before. Thankfully it didn't last very long. Maybe between half an hour and an hour? I wasn't really paying attention to the clock.
Sure enough, when Aga heard the rain stopped, he wanted the TV on. When I looked outside the kitchen window again, this is what I saw:
Two of the trees in the backyard fell down! OMG. Shocking. I still don't know what to do about it. My plan is to wait for Nagi to sort it out. I checked the front yard, all trees are still stuck to the ground, and the car is still parked and intact. Phew!
Then Visali called, saying she's on her way to our house to see us. I said we're all fine, there's no need for that. She insisted, reporting on how the roads are flooded, I kept saying we're fine we're fine, and while she was chatting with me on the phone, I can hear Preeti's voice "Hey the traffic lights are off!" OMG. Yeah don't come here, please. Very dangerous to drive when traffic lights are off! It was during busy time too, about 5:30pm.
There is another sad story I came up about this too. Around the fallen tree, there was this bird which didn't seem to move away from it. I didn't know what it was trying to do. I'm just hoping the tree didn't have its nest in it, but I just couldn't do anything about it, sorry bird.
Meanwhile, the storm didn't seem to bother little Lila. She's busy trying to stand up. She's trying to stand up against the sofa. Against her rocking chair. Against the TV table. Against my leg. All the time. And chatting with each one too. Chatting with the sofa. Chatting with her rocking chair, Chatting with the TV table. Chatting with my leg... Like this: "Ah-hah-hah. Eh-he. Et ta. Ham ma.." er... don't ask me to decode them.
Here's the video for those who prefer live-action one. :D
PS: Gracie, her bangs are not too long, if anything it's probably too short? Or maybe... uneven? ;) I cut it a week back because it was too long, covering her eyes! Maybe I should have cut the rest also, but just didn't have the confident to do so. You see how the bangs turned out! >.< I'm planning to shave her head in Semarang though!
