SMOKIN'
This morning, I woke up to frantic scream of my sis. In a daze, I heard subconsciously – “Fire!! Fire!!”
The first thing that drifted through my mind was – did we buy insurance for the house we are staying in now?
I woke up, rubbed my eyes and went to my balcony. This was the first thing that I saw this morning.

Holy smoke!!Apparently, a tyre workshop and an air conditioner shop a few blocks away from my home were engulfed in fire. The water nearby was too low pressured and the stream of water coming out from the fire hose - was just like a little boy peeing (Our uncle filled us in when we returned for lunch).
Seriously, what would you think of when you wake up to a ball of smoke? What would your thoughts be? Accidents and shit happen without warning. We better be prepared for this.
I am gonna renew my fire insurance which was long expired. Guess it is a prudent move. We will never know.
This pic was a nice surprise. A pigeon just happened to fly by as I took the pic before my battery went dead.

gosh! what a way to start your day!
luckily, you didn’t start running out of the house the moment you heard your sis’ frantic scream. anyway, it’s thankful that the fire is a few blocks away.

laymank: Well said.
Yuin: Yeah lah. The fire marshall in my office gelabah habis when it’s really fire happening.
mie: The moral of the story is – never to sleep naked. Hahahahah!!!
foodcrazee: Seriously lah. I dunno why the pressure was so low. Better write to the MPS to check.. or is it the fire unit?

I guess not. We didn’t hear anything that someone died. Lucky it was early morning. So, no one was at the shop.
