Holy smokes!

Lit­er­ally. You’ll see.

Par­don that black­out rant down there. The lights came blink­ing alive just now, moments after I hit the Pub­lish but­ton after nearly two hours of typ­ing in the darkness.

Any­way, just now, we decided to skip physics lec­ture head to the kopi­tiam oppo­site The Spring for our dinner.

Appar­ently, we hate walk­ing long dis­tances. So we joined the hos­tel guys, John and ah wu and took a shortcut:

Because it’s almost the height of the 6-feet wall in the NS obsta­cle course, we call it sim­ply, the 6-feet wall. =D

It’s not really that hard to climb over it. But some­one seems to take a really. long. time.

Soon, every­one was over the wall.. Except me. XD Any­way, we walked all the way there and only to find that kopi­tiam closed. So we headed back.

Bwa­haha. XD

Later, I drove the gang to King’s Cen­tre. Had din­ner, and headed home.

Ear­lier today, at around 2pm just now, we were hang­ing around in an 8th floor class­room, to kill time dur­ing our 2 hour break. It is always fun to look out the win­dow, stare at the cars beneath or watch the con­struc­tion going on on another 8 storey build­ing next door.

But today we looked out through the win­dows and saw these.

Thick black smoke ris­ing behind a row of shops near King’s centre.

We couldn’t imme­di­ately make up what could be burn­ing behind that row of shoplots but the smoke just got thicker and thicker.

Flames could be seen occa­sion­ally, lick­ing the sky.

All we could do was watch. The fire engines were only seen (and heard) blaz­ing through the traf­fic a full 15 min­utes later. And by that time this is what that’s left.

My cam­era missed the red flash­ing truck in this shot. It is some­where beneath the flyovers.

No won­der why Malaysian emer­gency crank call rates are a stag­ger­ing 98.9%. ‘Cos by the time the fire trucks arrive, the fire would already be out! Now ain’t I smart to fig­ure that out? XD

    Really can’t blame the fire depart­ment you know.. If you notice, some peo­ple also don’t bother mov­ing aside when hear­ing the siren, and even worst are those prank calls which actu­ally make them won­der which one is gen­uine or not..

    I mean, remem­ber the story about the guy whom lied about wolves eat­ing the sheep to the vil­lagers?? Try tak­ing that lie for 100x a day!
