Drama at Yishun
How much more could you expect than to have a fire breaking out in your blk? haha it was realli an experience...the panic, the anxiety, the talking with neighbours (whom ive nvr spoken 2 b4 :p)
I was at home wif my mom when we smelt sumthing burning. I mean normally its no big deal coz usually the Chinese pray and burn incense. And then someone shouted FIRE! and like we both terkejut la...so i went out 2 check and saw smoke billowing out from the window of a flat a few stories right under us. That was when panic struck...my mum was already running round the house, getting her bag...switching off the switches and me running ard closing some of the windows. By then, smoke started to fill our house and realli felt the heat picking up. Once outside the house, we met this makcik...she was crying coz she was so scared. Others cant realli be bothered. I met this man who wanted to go down via the lift. I told him the fire was right beneath us...juz beside the lift...and he juz gave me this heck care look. sheesh.
So being trained in police hahaha i got those who were on my floor to take the staircase furthest from the fire. Well some diden bother goin down...so i diden realli bother with them. At the ground floor...like all normal singaporeans, crowds began to form. I duno but i felt the police and firemen arrived kinda late la...hmmmmmm but was scary la..to see all the smoke coming out. What was even worse was that it belonged to my fren's hse. Den i was like calling his hp ahh alhamdulillah i ltr saw him near the fire engine...realli glad he was OK. :) ahakz...the drama diden end there. Word got round that there was a small boy still in the burning flat...and firemen were rushing, getting the ladder. den the fire hose...the water diden come out. reali realli scary. But everythin turned out well..the fire was contained, the boy was safe and everyone else in the surrounding area managed to get out of their houses fast. Im realli thankful that the pple from the neighbouring flat were alert la... :)
after the chaos...we went back to our unit and found it all in smoke and soot. Den town council, HDB and even the MP came to visit hahaha and i oso met my ex-boss back in NS. He was so surprised to see me haha small world :p And also saw some familiar faces doing cordoning off duty.
Ahhh been cleaning the house for like 4 hrs...im so tired......
.sincera fazzy.
