Our house was on fire!!!

It was terrible.

The news of the fire will be up on newspapers tomorrow – but you get it first on James-Chow.com. I must’ve been crazy to have stopped and taken the only picture of the fire above!

Two people suffered second-degree burns and were hospitalized, two more had mild injuries (I’m one of them – my right index and middle finger got burned when I took the picture above), and even some deaths – five barbequed rabbits.

No lah! OK!

Actually, we went to our new house in Seri Kembangan yesterday, to clear the grass and weeds that had grown on the front and rear lawns over the past six years of the house being empty.

It is indeed a good question to ask: Why is it OUR – and not the landlord’s – job to clear up the mess in front of the house…?! I was wondering that too.

Apparently, the agent had asked one of our friends if we could clear up the grass ourselves, and he (that friend) agreed…!! on behalf of all of us! LOL!

Anyway, we soon found out that the agent’s idea of clearing the grass was, not using any gardening tool or chemical, but to simply burn ‘em all!

I personally didn’t think it was a good idea, but it was technically not our house yet, so we just stood and… watched.

The guy got a liquid sprayer from his house and filled it with diesel. The effect was quite incredible, kinda looked like the kind of flamethrower weapons in computer games…

It was very environmentally unfriendly, and the fire that my friend had set at the backyard even went slightly out of control!

The flames were as tall as us, and we had to close the back door and hide inside to shield ourselves from being burned!

Haha, that was how the first photo was taken… In fact, the flames were worse than what it looks like in the photo, seriously!

* Fire went out in less than a minute’s time.

After that, we proceeded to cleaning the mess – removing all the remaining weeds, ashes, burnt branches and stuff…

We’re officially moving into our new house next week! YAY!

It was our housemate Heng’s birthday!

I think it was very unfortunate of him to have his birthday in the middle of the final exam week! Every year he has to celebrate his birthday with people around who are all stressed-up by exams!

Haha…

Heng received a free, HUGE glass of milk tea for his birthday from Wong Kok Char Chan Teng!

It was so insanely huge and it was very, very heavy!

Heng is only 21, but he has always been our ‘dad’ among us housemates! Yup, he really acts like one! Haha, that’s not an insult ok!

This picture is really great… He finished the whole bucket of milk tea! Or at least it looks like it!

We bought a birthday cake for Heng from Secret Recipe, but they forgot to give us the candles!

Birthday cake without candles ler! We only realized there were no candles after we had opened the packaging…

The cake was supposed to be a surprise to Heng, so we were quite lucky to have the opportunity to get some candles (used candles from another friend’s previous birthday cake ) and light them on the cake before he saw it.

Shheeesh I know it is totally pathetic to use second-hand candles for a friend’s birthday cake… But we had no choice!

Haha… Heng knew it but he was very happy, nevertheless!

My friend’s car was stolen!

His Proton Waja was parked inside the compound of Cyberia Townvillas, with 24-hours security (kononnya), car locked, at a resident parking lot!

It was very unfortunate because he had left his access card, which was required to get past (enter/exit) the Townvilla security, in the car…

So we guessed the thief probably used the card and happily ‘beep’-ed his way past the security gates, perhaps even waving at the guards as he passed…

We reported the incident to the Cyberia security department, the management, and lodged a police report at the Cyberjaya police station.

The police were unexpectedly helpful and friendly. After the report, some police officers came and ’sort of’ investigated the place – questioning security guards and taking pictures.

One of the police officers actually jokingly admitted that all it would take was two minutes to steal a Proton car… LOL!

We went back to the police station that night for my friend to meet another officer for making statements.

With the police report, my friend was able to apply for his insurance claim. It might take a few months to approve though…

What are the odds of the Malaysian Police being able to find a stolen car?

P.S. My exams are finished! Yay!
