It was going to be RIP Moey (1984-2008)

Waking up at 5:00 am, on a Thursday morning on the smell of electronic burning, just to find out that there’s smoke everywhere in my room and my TV is like a huge Argeeleh coal bowl burning and the neon lights in my room are about to explode. So, I took the TV out to the reception and gave it to the security guy to find the whole residence in chaos, I was even in my boxers, anyways I gave it to the guy and went back to my room just to find glass everywhere, yes the neon light exploded.

I thought it was a dream, so I just ignored it all and slept, to wake up by 11:00 am and find out that it is real, the fridge doesn’t work, the macbook adapter doesn’t work, lights as well and there’s no water! It was a disaster.

The internet is not working as well, I don’t have credit, and I can’t charge my iPhone because its battery is gone too. It was really cold, and I was scared I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t do anything! I was shocked until Friday!

I found out that the problem was the electricity company (not a ministry of power or anything else in Jordan as all services are sold to the private business sector) was seeding electricity at 320v instead of 220 to 240v.

Finally, nothing happened to me thank god, I bought a new macbook adapter, internet will be back today, TV is fixed and everything is fine.
