lighting-bolt-and-thunder phobia

it was rather surprising stormy rain late last night. the electricity went black-out. not much could be done, apart from covering my whole body inside the quilt and tried to be calm and sleep early, such a rare exercise. i'm never prepare for bad weather like late last night. and for the record, this kind of situation is my childhood phobia (or paranoia?!).

it didn't take annoying siblings to make me cry (oh btw, we didn't quite practise much of sibling rivalry way back that time :) all over again everytime i saw lighting bolts followed by deafening thunder during my primary years. my heart was weak. can't imagine how distracted every body's heart could be when they heard me crying, i suppose. coming down the list, the fireworks would occasionally scared me during the pre-new year celebrations (and those teenagers who had to wake early to prepare themselves during the ramadhan month, they made such a noise by lighting bangs 'petasan' everyday!)

i still freezed last night. but it's comforting to just pray to God for a calm heart. it works!
