    Fire!!!
    In the neighbourhood!!! Wah.. I've never seen so many kaypoh (busybody) Singaporeans all gathered in one place. And I'm one of them. Muahaha...

    At first when I heard sirens blaring, I thought it was just another over-reaction (there was once, at a restaurant near my school where my friends and I were having supper, 2 huge firetrucks and 3 more little ones rushed over to attend to a case of small kitchen fire...). So I didn't really care.


    But my Dad got worried cause the firetrucks stopped at the parking lot of my sister's neighbourhood (which is just beside ours; my sister and her husband have yet to move in there). So my Dad and I went down to see if anything was wrong (my sister and my bro-in-law were not at home).


    When we went down to my sister's block, it smelt kinda smoky. And there were many people gathered at the back and front of the block, looking up, pointing to one of the units (a couple of storeys right above my sister's unit... gasp...).

    By the time we had gotten to the parking lot behind the block, the fire had been put out. And from there, what we could see of the unit (living room, kitchen, whatever rooms we could see from the back) were soot-covered walls and smoke still billowing out of the windows.

    Fortunately, I heard from some kaypoh aunties (in Mandarin) that the homeowners were away.

    But I feel for the homeowners. Can you imagine losing your home to a fire? All your possesions (furniture, documents, memories, your home) gone just like that.

    Blogger's Note: The SCDF reacted swiftly and professionally. No fire is seen as too small or unimportant. Kudos to the brave men (and women) of the fire fighting department, not only here in Singapore but all around the world.
    Ehem... a bit of a 'Miss Universe-moment' there.
