Near brush with fire....shocking....traumatising..............
Well there's really nothing much to say except....A FRIGGIN FIRE STARTED IN A FLAT JUST 1 STOREY AND 2 DOORS AWAY FROM MINE AND BURNED EVERYTHING!!!!! FUCK! Woke up from my sleep at 5am hearing glass windows EXPLODING! From the pressure of superheated flames heating it up until they cracked and burst. It was seriously scary n trust me, I don't get frightened easily. People were screaming n shouting after the blast occured. It sounded like bombs exploding! It wasn't. But it was just as dangerous.I have seen shocking things more times than most people would at my age so I guess thats why I'm not THAT shaken. But still shaken nonetheless. Seen a guy lying dead/unconscious with his helmet broken n skull bleeding on the highway. Seen a guy attempt suicide by jumping off a building. Seen Paris Hilton acting like a slut. Oh wait, thats not shocking. N now this fire.
All the apartments about until 4 storeys high got blackened with soot and ash like as if someone actually painted the walls black. The flat where the fire started got burned down. The flats above the burned flat got a new paintjob. Black. Covered with soot and ash and whatever crap that fire is made up of. A policeman came knocking at the door and asked my family to evacuate as a safety precaution because we were pretty darn close to the fire......You think maybe perhaps I am traumatised and shocked because of what just happened that he is exagerating details? IM NOT. IF you stick like around 2 bamboo poles joined together out of the window of my kitchen balcony, it could actually touch the kitchen balcony of the burned kitchen. THAT CLOSE! You read bout fires in news and stuff like that and its like...BORING! You just wait till it happens to you then you will find how shocking it is. It will get u the adrenaline rush that happens when our bodies prepare for a burst of energy of speed n power n even brain processing speed to escape whatever danger. Not the sports kind. This is totally different! My heart's still beating fast. Even right now as I type this I can still hear the firefighters n policeman cleaning up the mess after the accident. The whole staircase has been flooded with water from putting the fire out. My room smells of smoke. Heck, my whole house is filled with the smell of smoke.
Oh and this won't appear on the newspaper. This kind of stuff is booooring to newspapers n the blaze wasn't burning that big to make in to a media frenzy. I mean face it, even as I type this post. Someone else's house is burning now or just got knocked down by a car or got stabbed in a gang fight. Things like this happen all the time though its much more shocking when you are actually experiencing it firsthand n r actually at risk of getting affected as well! If the newspaper had every single thing on the newspaper then you wouldn't see any more business/sports/comics section anymore cos all the shocking singapore events will cram the whole newspaper. Man I'm still so shocked at what happened that I just can't go back to sleep (which is why im even writing this post now). I want to just tell every1 I know right now what just happened but come on its like 5am plus right now n I cant just call n say "Hi! A fire just burned down a flat near mine! What? Am I hurt? No? Then why am i calling?Umm cos im super traumatised n wan to hear the comfort of your words." YEAH RIGHT! I will only call n tell my girlfriend if I had 1 that. Unfortunately I don't have 1. Im wishing for 1.....I really need 1...To cope with the stress of daily life, to brighten it up. I will treat her the best I can. I know I will but I don't know how long it will take before I ever get 1.......Day after day is just so plain boring without a girl. N guys don't fill up this emptiness I feel. The desire to express my feelings to some1. If a guy ever did that to a guy he would be called gay. Yeah so u get the picture....
Actually u didn't cos I didnt post any! Xd. Well....seriously, if you got woken rudely n abruptly by something that sounds just like a bomb n suddenly hear shouts n screams around u from neighbours and family, would the 1st impulse n priority to get a camera 2 take photos 4 ur blog? If the answer is yes, then u seriously don't know your priorities. Well yeah. Basically woke up. Ran out of my house fearing for my life,family n my beloved treausured belongings I left behind. N no1 else took any photos even though they had their handphones with them. Every1 knew how serious the situation was. N the last thing on people's minds was to take photos to keep as a momento about some event to share with their friends or take photos to sell to the media. Glad no kaypoh bastard tried to take any cos it really was inappropriate at that time. So I'm sorry if there's no photos 4 u 2 c.
If you want to, just ask me then I bring u to my hosue n u can c it. N despite the little bit of joking I wrote above. THIS IS NOTHING TO LAUGH ABOUT. Do note that I am typing this after some time has passed since the breakout of the fire n I had some time to regain some of my normal self. Once again, I thank God that I'm alive n that my house wasn't the 1 that got burned down. The family whose house burned down seem well to do n can probably manage. But honestly, my family would have probably gone bankrupt cos of all the damages n I probably would need to go to Financial Assistance Scheme if it were me. This will be 1 of the events in my life I will NEVER forget.

This feeling.....
There's this girl that I like. And I keep thinking of her.Yeah it's love sickness. But unlike crushes,aka puppy love, my feelings aren't triggered by hormones experienced by teens growing up. Been past that stage already. My mind is much more developed and matured than most my age already(Oi! Not Ahpek thinking ok....). I will always be youthful no matter what my age! xd
I can't tell you her name but all I can say is she is a sweet girl. Through some observation she has a bad side(at least not too goody goody girl) too but how much of it I don't really know. We are friends but aren't actually close. We were once classmates n now we're in different classes. We don't see much of each other except for just 1 class we attend together. I want to tell her my feelings towards her. N that's the problem...I want to get closer to her. Be able to chat casually to her. N eventually express my feelings n let her know.
I know I cant just tell her I like her immediately when the last time we talked to each other was like quite some time back. Man! I'd definitely get rejected flat out. I need to strike up a conversation n be start talking to her again like back last time again in order to do that. But how? We aren't in the same class n she is always surrounded by her little group of girlfriends. Argh! I cant even start any conversation with them around! And with no reason to talk to her it would be painfully obvious if I suddenly talk to her n try to b friendly to her. N then there's this fear of rejection.... Argh God! Please let an oportunity present itself where I can be alone with her and renew a friendship which has gone quite stale already.
