Who Says I'm Useless? Lol....

Well Wednesday i decided to come home for a few hours from camp, although i usually do i felt like staying in camp instead. However i felt compelled to come home this time so i did using my intuition as a guide.

Sure enough once i got home and showered (8pm), as i laid in bed the neighbors started shouting
"FIRE FIRE! Call Everyone go Downstairs NOW!"
Then i'm like WTF?!?!, told dad call sis faster come home from neighbor's house and put Baby Tesse (my cat) in a basket and go down. Little did i have time to realize that i was actually half naked i made my way to the 4th floor when the fire was reported. There were so many things running through my mind, i was afraid for the worse seeing people on fire or worse dead and burnt corpses but at the same time i saw everyone going downstairs and nobody going to see the extent of the fire. So i went lor,,,,,haha

Fire escape (staircase not lift) the lights were all off it was pitch black and i walked down 4 stories feeling my way also checking if anything metal was hot. Got to the floor it was hard to see with smoke and shit everywhere, knocked on the door and maid called me to rush in. Saw a man trying to put out the fire on the stove. Apparently the maid left a big pot of oil on high heat to deep fry chicken, but left the oil burning too long as she attended to a infant and toddler in the house as the parents were at work.

To summarize the entire cooking area was charred black and burnt and metal parts of the cooking area even melted, the man couldn't put out the fire so i stepped in. This is how it went

Mark to Maid : "Do you have any flour? "

Maid to Mark: "No! No! i don't have flower"

Mark to Maid : "Ok ok calm down stop crying, where's the
children now and do you have milo?"

Maid to Mark : "Children down with neighbours,
milo i don't think have, (crying mad)."

Mark to Maid : "Do you have rice then? Uncooked raw rice?"

Maid to Mark : "Ya Ya have!"

At this point she go grabs a bucket and scoop instead of the rice i asked. During which i made sure all electrical circuits around the blaze was off.
*Fire still enrages and cuts the already pointless coversation*

Mark to Maid : "Nasi Putih tat masak"
(Means uncooked white rice, i think she was Indonesian)

Maid to Mark : "Ada" (Have)

Had to speak malay it was the only way althought the guy was pure oblivious to what i was saying. She hands me a 5kg bag of Royal Umbrella Brand Rice lol, quite expensive i must say but then rich family. So i open pour rice over fire and all around, even got some on the floor. FIRE OUT MISSION SUCCESSFUL.

All this time i was only wearing shorts and no shirt or anything lol, and once the father of the house came in, he thought the maid was crying cause i raped her and the guy who initially tried to put out the fire caught me! HAHAHAHA WTF LA! Then after some explanation i said anything i'm on the 7th floor and i went home straight just before a friend came over and i shared this exact chain of events lol. Interesting Day i must admit, sure beats staying cooped up in camp. Besides damages done to ego (paiseh), the household suffered the costs of changing the stove and walls of a 2metre radius, at lease the kids and the maid was safe.

Thank God that just 2 days before the incident i happened to be listening to a fire safety talk, although i already have put out fires in the past, it sure was good to have a quick refresher course.

YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO PREPARED FOR ANYTHING!
