A very very very goofy near death experience















The black stuff is ashes...















Burnt pillow, wooden floors are burnt too, from pounding to burnt pillow ...I hope my land lord doesn't see it

Last night after a long nite of partying and drama, I had a little bit of drama myself. I had my normal candle by my bed. I was watchin TV and I guess I dosed off. Then somehow I was woken up by this weird smell. I opened my eyes..then i see my pillow and my blanket ON FIREEEEE. Yes... FIRE... I didn't even have time to scream or swear... First I kicked off my blanket..then the pillow on the floor..Then i picked up the pillow (coz the flames were bigger there and it was easier to handle)..kept smashing it on the ground to put it out. Then I worked on my blanket , threw that against the floor and put it out. But the blanket was still glowing and stuff so i decided to throw it in the tub..put my shower on for a minute..to make sure..the fire won't re-ignite.

Then I was super tired, so I just took my guest blankie then went to bed.


My ah yi came this morning, (THANK GOD), she cleaned up the ASHES on the floor..changed my slightly burnt sheets, sow a part of my blanket cover on to my burnt blanket, and changed my pillow cases.

Last night , right after the fighting with fire thing, I just wanted to sleep. I guess once I felt safe..then I'd be ok to sleep but now thinking back. Its like, if I haven't smelt the burning stuff, I guess I would be burnt? But then how do one wake up from the smell of burnt pillows and blankies?? Weird.. I guess our natural instincts are still here when we need them, hmmm, so maybe I can out run a leopard next time..

My final thought: When I'm getting my own place and doing my own interior, I am definitely getting Non flamable Pillows / Blankets etc. I remember seeing a episode of sixty minutes of how a whole freaking mattress can burn up in 3 minutes and crap..pillows burn better than charcol......

Oh and for those who are reading my blog.. yes.. I mite have been a goner..so be nice to me..and spoil me more..LOLS
