Traffic Light Party !!

My last Saturday rendezvous point is at Piccadilly's Traffic Light Party ...........




Whats a Traffic Light Party? A party/dance where you wear colours to show you're availability.

Red = Taken
Yellow = Undecided
Green = Single





But then again ...there were many Black outfits around too, which to me it means free-for-all !!1








So here are them in pictures ............





MY FRIENDS - THE REDS,YELLOWS AND THE MANY GREENS!






Penny is a Red and Candy is a Green.

This are all Greens.


The Greens and "Greens"!



Chui and Yen.
Woon and Candy.





The Red.


Jenny she's a Red too......
Wong is a Green.

The true REDS ....Jenny and Hui!

Chui and Yen ...a Red and Green.


We are the true Greens!!



Lilly ...you may like to guess?
Alex and William spotted in Green ....hmmm?!
Instead of shooting their darts at the Greens and Yellows hanging around , the're (Hui and Eric) shooting it at the dartboard!
Ah Der ...im expandable!!



3 Greens out of 1 Red......We are d Availables!!




THE REST OF THE TRAFFICKERS!!!


Many are enjoying their drinks and moving onto the night.......

Some are getting into the Ice-breaking games.....


Some are caught in their own mindless state .....or perhaps pondering their next move!

Some are showing their true colours by taking center stage!!

To me this was my first experience but unfortunately Asians are tend to be very shy-headed !!! Ain't we all , thus it seems that we have our shy taboos built and made in us.....but that is about to change .


I found them ......the true and elite Greens of the Night!!!






This is what Traffic Light Party stands for !!!



The King of Green Traffickers .....Man in G(Green)-String!!!!!


"If we knew the outcome it wouldnt be called reaserch!." -Albert Einstein


Am looking forward to the next one!!!

Sarawak, August 9 ,2008.... A Night In Darkness

The state's power grid (SESCO) came to a halt at around 6.30pm which gradually threw the whole state into total darkness in what to be the worst power crisis in this century.

I was shopping sundries at Spring when it all happened .....wished that i could get away without paying but unfortunately they had a back-up power source!




So i went home ....as dusk sets in ,the whole city will be in total darkness .


I remembered of the frequent power disruptions before the first hydro dam was commission in Batang Ai......that was more than 20 years ago!! The thought of it happening at this present in such a large scale would never crossed any Sarawakian's mind.

After dusk..............
Comes total darkness............

We lit candles while awaiting for the power to be restow and so i had my candle-light dinner.


It was after 9pm , i drove out from my house that i heard the power was restowed in some parts of the city......



When i reached the city center ,however,most of the streets and buildings were still in total darkness .....

Finally power was restowed gradually after 11pm ....5 hours after the power grid went down.

I wonder when the next power failure comes and much longer than the last ,would it throw the whole state in total chaos or in a total state of emergency.

What would happen then is a realization that we are too dependent on electricity..........
