Yeah, electricity got cut off for a while. No, not because there’s some construction going on. And also not because the electricity bill has not been paid. It’s just me… Hahahaa…
Was changing 2 switches in my parents’ room, and I was not going to off the mains, which proved to be a bad decision. No problems with the lighting switch as usual. On opening the 3-pin plug switch, while trying to bend the live wire using pliers, I think I have accidentally made a connection between the live wire and the earth. Fireworks in the room (erm, actually there’s just some sparks ), and all went quiet. My computer and laptop was on in the other room when that happened. The fish tank’s filter and lights went off too. Put it simply, power cut. I looked at the switch. Some parts had turned black. Hahaha…
But this is not the first time that I got the ECB to jump.
So for safety (I still want to continue my course for EE), I worked without electricity around, until the part where I need to drill some holes in the wall to hold the new casing. And finally, it’s done!
The switches looked a bit dirty? Yeah those are my finger prints…. Hahaha…
Oh well, now I can on the fan to cool down…
