Hell-like
Hell-like
Random : Sickening me out lately -.-' 100% cannot stand it!
I was on my way to bed. Clock struck 12 midnight last night. I was all tired and wanted to have a goodnight sleep after chatting online. Furthermore I got school the next day. Not good to sleep late. But heck it's already late anyway.
So I went off to bed at 12am then I had a dream.
My sister's voice woke me up, probably shrieking. Or I guess I was imagining things. I asked what could possibly be making her to get up from bed. Apparently I was still in a sleepy mode when I got up from my feet. Then when I came to the window the first thing came out from my mouth was a "OMAIGOSH!" with this expression = O_O!!
My neighbour's house was on fire. AHHHHHH!!! They were just living infront of my room.
Of course I was in a panic mode after that. Wide awake! I was speechless and all I could manage to say was omaigosh omaigosh. Repeatingly saying those words. My mind was completetly scattered. I couldn't think properly. Those screaming and yelling for help voices! And the old lady's crying for mercy! As if they were burning alive!! Those voices keep echoing in my mind.
My sister dashed out to my parent's door and knocked it panickly! When my mum came into my room she was saying "EhSianLoh!" (in FuChow meaning S**T) Then my dad came in, panicking face in him and he told us to wake my brothers' up!
My dad, mum and my sister was busy packing all their possesions out from the house whereas I was still flabbergasted, speechless with my mouth open but no words came out. I began to feel my heart pumping very fast. So fast that I did not care less whether I got my disease back again or not. My tears were brimming down my cheecks. I was scared!
Everybody rushed downstairs and I kept telling my mum to call the fire brigade in a panic mode.
My mum calling 993:-
"Ane Bomba kah?" *She was not sure if this is the correct number*
"AH! Sini ada api ah! Ya, Api!"
"Ah..Sinarubai!"
*what? I'm also not thinking properly and then I went like...
"mummy! Sungai Tampoi lah!"
"eh bukan bukan! Sungai Tampoi!"
Maybe she was still thinking we were still living there. Oh Goodness Sake. She was really panic too =O
My dad told me to pack my things. I was like "what things?" I did not think properly that time. And finally I knew what he meant. Then I rushed to upstairs to my room. That time my room was steaming hot already and I could smell the smoke! So I took my wallet and my handphone. I was planning to take my homeworks as well. Yes, such a weird thought -.-' At this crisis still thought about homeworks. But neh, I didn't take them. Hopefully they will not get burnt.
Then I rushed to downstairs. I nearly toppled over at the stairs coz I was dashing as if I was shuffling -.-' Then I came out from the main door and I took my shoes. Guess what shoes? My school shoes! =O I took it and running with my "chicken's leg".
Then I continued to dazzled over the fire still burning the house. I was still "omaigosh omaigosh" state. My tears kept flowing like endless, watching the incident helplessly. The crying of the old lady made me feel goosebumps and in the end will be my nightmare.
Nightmare? Is this all a nightmare?! *pinch myself on the cheeck* Oh NOOOO :'(
The fire had almost reached to the downstairs part. It was first started at the upstairs one. And now we were waiting for the fire brigade for rescue. But still see no sign after 5 minutes. I was begining to feel panic. The fire was spreading like mad. As if I had witnessed a hell kind of view. I called it a Hell-like.
We couldn't help to put off the fire. Seriously the fire was too MASSIVE and really HOT!! When you go near the house as if you were having sauna FOC. No, this one was MORE than sauna! HOTTER! I managed to snap a picture of it. Though it was blur and I took it from far and you can just see a big flame infront.
Isn't this looks like hell to you? *sniff sniff* I thought at first there was some bad natural disaster happening when I got waken up. But this one's a man-careless-mistake disaster!I think they forgot to switch off the gas. Or maybe is the gas leakage or what. Hopefully everyone got out from the burning house =/
The fire brigade managed to come with their super large "car" that they could not possibly enter the road due to their road so narrow. So they had to carry the pipe all the way to the house and then SPRAYYYY it!! :D They took a long time to spray the whole fire out. Like 2 hours or so?
They had to switch off all the electricity around our area due to doesn't want any trouble happening again. My dad ordered my brother and I to sleep in the car instead coz we have school later. Hmm did I mention the time occur? Oh it was 1am by the way when the fire started.
Yeah so I couldn't sleep at the car. Whenever I closed my eyes I see fire. Fire fire! =/ And therefore I didn't sleep the whole day -.-'
Daylight came, the structure looks something like this:-
The house was wooden ones. So maybe they will got a higher premium from the insurance company. Well that's a good thing. It reminds me of Sir Yong, my commerce teacher had mentioned before about the insurance. Sigh.
After the incident, I could remember when I was in Primary6, I ever wrote a composition about house on fire. It was kind absurd when I thought about it back.
It goes like this:-
I was walking from my school to my house and on the way I heard someone yelled "HELP HELP".
Then I quickly dashed to the nearest public phone and call the fire brigade.
I went to help the people there putting of water using pail of water.
After 30minutes or so the fire brigade came putting off fire for just 15minutes.
The police even awarded me for calling the ambulance and the fire brigade.
I was happy and my parents were proud of me.
Ridiculous much -.-' Now I had the true live experience one.
