Why cup noodles is always the best
This has got to be the WORST day in my entire life. I swear i wont be cooking for the next few days at least.
I was frying some french toast just now when it started to get a little smoky. Then the frying ladle (or whatever you call it) which was hard plastic, started to melt. It was definitely an omen i tell you. I should have just abandoned my attempt at cooking, but no, being a smart-alec and thinking it was normal for smoke to be clouding the stove, i continued my frying. Only when i melted another ladle did i turn the stove off. Less than a minute later, an alarm sounded, and thinking it was just an alarm clock, i turned around only to find that the entire kitchen and lounge area was shrouded with thick smoke! Then my korean flatmate came rushing out of her room panicking and asking what happened, and at the same time opening all doors and windows, and only then did it dawn on me that it wasnt a loud alarm clock that sounded but the fire alarm. Both of us began panicking when 2 guys (the RAs) rushed into our flats, shouting and got us to evacuate the room. They knocked, banged on and charged into every single room of my flatmates (where fortunately they werent in) trying to get everyone to go downstairs, and my flatmate and i just followed suit. Within seconds, everyone from my block was assembled at the open space (thank god there werent many people around cos everyone's out on a Sunday), and then we heard the fire engine heading in our direction. I just thought to myself "Uh oh, i've gotten myself into deep shit!" So the entire fire rescue team arrived, complete with trucks and all, led by a couple of Curtin security cars. They inspected the area and turned the alarm off finally after 3 minutes or so. At the same time, the RAs started questioning me, followed by the security people, and then they called me up to my flat where i had to explain what had happened, which occurred because i didnt switch on the fan. Yikes. They said if the fire rescue team were to charge the House for the incident, i'll be fined ALOT. But being a first time offender and a new resident, i probably will be let off with a warning only so im praying really hard!!! Please God!!!
Shucks, i feel so horrible right now. Its the worse that could actually happen and it did. I've got a whole lot of explaining and apologising to do, and i really hope they'll accept it. ARGH. Why the hell did i have to cook?!?! I hate myself!
