From the neighbor photocopy shop, I got the schedule for my area’s scheduled blackout. Call it crazy, but for this month PLN (Perusahaan Listrik Ngaco) schedules 10 blackout!

Because today, July 1st, my area is supposed to be cut from electrical supply from 7:00 to 17:00, I went to GLP to avoid it.

But they didn’t turn it off after all!

I don’t know whether to be happy or mad. For one thing, they’ve made my evacuation plan useless and just time wasting. Can I sue them from spreading pure FUD? But viewed from another angle, isn’t canceling a planned evil deed a good thing?

Next scheduled outage: July 3rd.

Just when I thought things had gotten better, the lights went off again. It started from around 13:30 until around Maghrib. I spent most of the day reading Routledge pictured above, and actually had to go outside when things darken a bit!

I haven’t touched this book for ages so it’s probably not all bad.

PLN should stand for Perusahaan Listrik Nyebahi (The electrical company that we hate).

Probably around once every two or three days, a house-to-house soymilk seller comes to my house. He will park his bicycle outside and greet with the Islamic greeting, using a semi-loud voice, “Assalamu’alaikum!”, to inform the people inside the house that he has arrived.

The milks are sold in small transparent plastics with vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate as its flavors. The one pictured above is the chocolate flavor.

Some days ago I went to Indorizky to buy some eggs. My mom said she needed 0.5 kg.

The egg place was easy enough find. Once I got there, I only needed to take the provided semi-transparent plastic bags and fill it with the eggs.

I just bought some drawing equipment from the nearby Sokaraja Indomaret. It’s an HB Staedtler pencil, a cheap black Snowman marker, an eraser, and a sharpener! That’s because I draw illustrations for my Japanese language blog Yumeko and my pen just isn’t enough!
