Approximately 6:45 PM in Hawaii, Oahu had lost its power according to the spokesman of Hawaiian Electric Co. However, it wasn't till two hours later when the entire islands of Oahu has lost its power due to outage in the generators also. In reference to many of the Informational Websites, power outage had left outage in island's population of 900,000 people and thousands of tourists including vacationing President-elect Barack Obama.

By 6 o'clock in the morning,about 113,000 customer's power has been retored, mostly on the west side of the island. However, it's not till later the remaining of the island's population will gain back their power.

Gov. Linda Lingle has said that the utility will be taking one of the generator to Obama, elected-president's rented beach house, but was informed that he has had already 3 generators in position.

The outage seem to be caused by the thunderstorm little after sun has set, but thunderstorm soon calmed, leaving the island under dark.

As for me, I was in Ala Moana Shopping Center working on my part-time job. Around 7 O'clock we had our power out, leaving most of our customers under ruckus. By 7:45, we had most of our customers leave after their manual check outs and our managements had finally decided to close down the place. By 8 o'clock the employees were informed that we are able to leave after cleaning up some of the mess. Although it was a unconvinient experience, it's one of the 'happenings' that it seems to me as I can share with my co-workers.

Currently, I'm at post by my cell phone since the restaurant has still not gained back its power and I was informed that it's not till later on that we will be opening up again.

Here we go again, with the most randomest blog entries that I can ever think of. So this time, its about my new school :] University of Hawaii @ Manoa Campus. I often call it 'Harvard of Hawaii' just to make myself feel better for the fact that this is the only place I applied [how stupid].

Well, so! let's start up this blog! :]. Alright.. so I'm an Electrical Engineering Major, and planning on Japanese Minor. As I've written in my earlier blog entry, [http://blog.netwy.net/tc/entry/University-of-Hawaii-NSO-New-Student-Orientation] I'm not that interested in my major (did I even write this?). As far as I know, electrical engineering is one of the hardest major in ALL UNIVERSITIES. And guess what :]?! I was a fool to be the one to take it ^-^. Smart? or not so smart.

Then, it goes to my minor :], Japanese. It sure sounds good. I mean, isn't it? Being able to speak other languages and hopefully next time you visit that country, you don't have to be depended on either your friends or your guide! But guess what? My professor can't speak english. This is "THE SHITTIEST FEELING" that I've gotten this entire year. As I was hoping that I wouldn't regret my choice, I had already hit the ground on my very first day in UH(University of Hawaii).

Let's not forget about Math class. It's in a BIG lecture room with a huge black boards and 2 projector screens :] how sweet! even better, with a professor who looks like a turtle :]. I just had to take five in order to ROFL at myself for not being able to make into Calculus (and having to be stuck with him). My assistant teacher wasn't so bad though. He was kind of like DR. IDA, (former math teacher) but with more hair and little confusion with his sexuality. Other than that, he was great.

OMG! Psychology. One of the classes that I was eager to take! :]. However, I came to realize that our classes are cancelled until our 3rd week. I learned it the hard ways though. I sat in an empty class with fellow students who were lost with me. For about 10 minutes, we sat there and talked, waiting for our teacher. And whether it's a He or She, didn't show up. As impatient as I could be, I was the first one to walk out of that class (didn't have anyone that I was interested in :]).

Well, these are all my classes with short details for each :]. I'm still trying to get used to this whole university thing, but as far as I've been through, there's really no difference with high school. College just have more time to manage, and I guess one needs to be able to learn how to keep it organized. And until we are notified of Midterms and Finals, we are pretty much free-souls :]. I will continue to write whatever comes on the way and keep you guys informed.

ROCK ON KIDS! :]
