Yes its small.. but i like small cakes ^^

For the whole past 1 week (which includes pre-CNY, CNY & post CNY), the most happening thing has no watsoever relation to CNY. It was tat 惊魂 Saturday morning, 24 January... Its a BIG matter to every1 at my block, it even made it on the local newspaper the next day (not the headlines though), BUT I till now still duno who's the idiot culprit.

It took me at least 2 days to get over the uncomfortable feelings. How annoying...

Imagine sleeping in a deep slumber than suddenly u hear someone shouting "着火了! 快逃!"....

It was immediate awakening for me. I was too shock to even ask wat the hell is happening. Seriously i now know my HP is SO IMPORTANT to me. More impt than anything else i posses. Coz after dashing out the hse, I instinctively went back into the hse again 2 grab my HP.

Yes it was the HP. Only the HP. I also duno y i didnt even thought of grabbing my wallet or hse keys. Hmmmm...

The real freaky thing happened when suddenly the power suddenly shutdown & all the staircase & corridors turn into plain darkness. Everyone's reactions in such dark & smoky environment? Very very very frighten screams & shouts for that 1 min when the lights suddenly went out....

Ermm i din had time to scream coz i was engross in closing & locking my hse (at tat pt & moment, i still can tink properly must lock hse in case of thief. Haha). Come to tink of it, why was i the 1 staying behind to lock the hse? I only recall my mum waiting for me at the staircase. Where are the men??!!

Much luck was upon my family.

1st, the fire happened on the 3rd floor so my hse is way far far away frm it.

2nd, one of the 2 staircase exits tat wasnt blocked by the fire, 1 was beside my hse.

3rd, the burning area happened on the 3rd floor below my next door neighbour so only the staircase & walls directly above it were toasted black (yea the flames & smoke went all the way up to the 10th floor).

4th, my parents were actually preparing to go out when the fire started so they were 1 of the few 1st batch of ppl to notice the fire. Very lucky i must say.

5th, our family car happened to be parked at another carpark the night before coz the lots at my block were full. So while most ppl are stuck at the scene, with no shoes / still wearing pajamas / no money or valuables / no teeth (the elder peps) / messy hair.. we could drive off to elsewhere to have breakfast.

So the whole matter taught me many things:

1. Its a better choice to wear t-shirt & shorts to sleep (my usual habit!). At least u dun have to worry looking awkward wearing ur pajamas while running for ur life.

2. Always have ur valuables kept near to ur bed (so can find & grab easily while running away)

3. Dont put big objects near any exit path! Irregardless its inside or outside ur hse, especially the corridors & staircases. Having a cleared pathway to run for ur life is VERY IMPORTANT. Never block urs & ppl's escape path.

The whole stupid fire started coz 2 selfish neighbours put lots of furnitures at the corridors. 1 of the family's furniture started the fire & it spread to the other family's "trash" and the whole fire expand within secs. Lucky my block is spread into 3 sections with 4 staircase spread out far frm each other so everyone could escape safely. Else if the burning staircase is the only exit.... its unimaginable.

This experience is gona be life-time UNFORGETABLE.

A very blazing "旺旺" Chinese New Year.... Huat Ar!
