They made it sound like nothing.
I was there for the prize giving funtion for the temple. It was a funny situation whereby I was oblivious to what was happening...
Jo: Oh great, we can get food now. I'm so hungry.
Pik Wen, Shao Mei and I walk to the side where the buffet table was. First I got fried rice, then I heard cracking sounds and people bustling about. People around the buffet table were being busybody (aren't all Chinese?) and went to see what was happening. I, on the other hand, eyed food on the other side.
Jo: Eh, Shao Mei, hurry up get the food, no one's here.
Everyone was exiting through the emergency exit by this time.
The waiter was happily smiling and spooning food on my plate. Yay, now I can go eat.
Pik Wen: Eh, everyone's leaving, we have to go.
Jo: (Putting on a sad disappointed face) Har, what about the food?
Pik Wen: Just leave it.
I sadly looked at my plate. Hesitantly, I put it down. I followed behind Shao Mei and Pik Wen. Before reaching the emergency exit I caught a glimpse of what happened. The center of the floor sort of cracked in half. The tiles were all coming out in a line. But it wasn't so serious so I don't know why everyone panicked and left the food. I could have taken a picture and posted it up. The photo shown in BruDirect was after the Police/Firefighters took everything apart. (Too bad, Shao Mei, you can't see the cracks!!)
Earlier in the morning, I joked to my accompaniments that maybe we should use the stairs to get to the 15th floor. HAHA. You know what they say, 'be careful what you say/wish for, it could come true'. Well, we had to take like a gazillion flights down the fire escape and then walk a squillion miles further down through the car park. What fun... NOT in heels!!!
Anyways, on to another topic.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOON JING!!!
You have great parties, as always!
Start of the night.
We are such a loving group of friends.
Really loving.
But...
Sometimes...
There might be a little too much love.
The rape victim after all that 'excitement'.
Even on his birthday, he was not spared...
A lesson that we all should have learnt by now, if you are male and it is your birthday, be wary of Ho Wee at your party, unless you don't mind getting a hickie.
Another lesson, floors cracking up on the 15th floor do not always equal to life-threatening situations. Just continue eating.
