Last night was Desperate Housewives night. Normally, to switch on my TV, I would plug in the socket and push the switch of the power point. Last night, I plugged in the socket and instead of immediately hitting the power point, I retreated for a second or two before leaning forward again to reach the button. Thank God I did that because when my finger was just inches away from the power outlet, mini explosions happened at the switch! They sounded like mini fire crackers and I saw orangy sparks flying about. It lasted for something like 4 seconds or so. My cats and I watched in horror.
After waiting for a while and getting some advise, I put on rubber slippers and held onto a wooden stick. I stood a distance away and poked the stick to reach the power button in case it sparked off again. True enough, it did! That’s when I gave up trying to power it up and gave Desperate Housewives a miss. Who would’ve thought addiction to Desperate Housewives might have been the cause of me getting fried by electricity?

I said some extra prayers last night.

Close shave. Either your wall power socket has short cicuited or you've just gained some new mutant powers. :)
ben, i think the socket itself is a gone case because someone else plugged in a different socket and it was just fine! or maybe you're right, i might have some weird mutant powers. haha...
