I was reading my Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows through the night on Sat and at 3am plus I heard people shouting, women and men. And some occasional pounding on the walls. Well it wasn’t that special cos there are people in my block whom alwaes chooses to quarrel in the middle of the night. But after a while the shoutings became louder and there were knockings on my front door.

Im a typical coward so I quickly went to my parents room to wake them up and that’s when we heard of the neighbours shouting “Fire”

We quickly open the doors and saw my next door neighbour house on fire! There was thick smoke coming out and ppl were bringing buckets of water to the rescue. I went back in the house and called the police while my dad went off with the bucket. There was this guy “Luping” at the door (Door Grill luckily were not locked) whom we initially tot is the police but it was actually a helpful neighbour. (He damn brave loh!! SALUTE!)

Their door was damn sturdy, and they could only managed to kick a hole through. They poured water through the hole and there was more smoke. I was so afraid there would be an explosion that I went and dragged my dad back to outside our flat. Police and firemen came and somehow managed to cut the door and saved the family of 4 inside.

Apparently, the smoke woke them out and probably had no way out to escape to the door so the father carried the 2 kids (aged 14 & 12) and put them on the aircon compressor unit outside the window!! Damn dangerous can~ and it was the shoutings that alerted the neighbours in the opposite block to the rescue.

The most scary part, police found tins of kerosene and lighter outside the house and suspect foul play by Ah Long.

Wah lau eh, usually I will go home ard 2-3am if Im playing mahjong but I went home early on sat to finish my harry potter. I cant imagine if I went home and saw the act in action, will they “silence” me?

Reporters came on Sunday and my mama really very joker de loh….want to hear the rest of the neighbours say wat so walked over but when the reporters asked her she just went “i dunno ah, dun ask me” then when ppl wan to snap pictures, she ran back into the house… haha

I hope the family of 4 will be alright. And my guess is, the unit beside my house will be vacant for a very long time liao

And i finished my Harry Potter. It was like a proper closure, after all the years. I had newfound respect for Snape. he was really a good guy from the start although Ah Heng begs to differ.

He say he was just being Chee-Hong. But it is this LOVE for Lily that protected Harry throughout the years. And he REALLY cared for him. I oso tot he did it just for Lily but in 1 scene, Dumberdole asked him through the years did he realli care for harry and snape replied in tears that he REALLI do.
