Yes, you heard that right - it was early. Literally. Specifically, 24 March 2009 beginning from 1am in the morning.
I went to sleep around 12:45am after I was done with RAWK and in around 10 minutes later, the fan above me stopped spinning, its propellers (?) slowing to a halt right in front of my eyes.
It was hot, sticky and a feastday for mosquitoes around the area but we soldiered on, knowing how much this is just a small inconvenience for less than an hour or so worth of zero power consumption. If it was hard enough for me, think of the folks who are enclosed in chilled air-conditioned air all the time at home, it would simply be torture for them.
Went downstairs and opened the door to allow cool air from outside the house to breeze in (it was a rather still morning) and lay down on the cool marble floor that felt like heaven after over an hour worth of sweat-filled futile attempts at slumber. Heard the uncle from next door mumble about how hot it was, the clearest which were "... they better get this fixed in the next half hour, damn it".
At almost 4am, electricity returned (simultaneously shot bolts of light into our eyes with dilated pupils from the darkness) and signalled a 3 hour vigil to Earth Hour Part 1.
I was thinking, since that we have done 3 hours worth of our dues THREE FOLDS in this Earth Hour thing, how about if we skip Saturday's?
