The building is on FIRE!

Yes, the title says it all.. The Verve on Swanston was really on fire.



Situation:

11.45pm: Smoke started to build up through the corridors of the building on each floor.

11.47pm: Wykeith called and asked why we aren't outside with everyone else.

11.50pm: After much contemplating, we decided to evacuate the building. Each of us took what we thought would be most important to us.

My evacuation items: Mobile phone, passport and wallet.

Marcus' evacuation items: Mobile phone, Canon Digital IXUS 75.

Ben's evacuation item: Mobile phone.

Aik Sin's evacuation items: Mobile phone, passport, air ticket back to KL (Based on the theory should our building blow up, he can get home right away)

Fortunately, that didn't happen and we were back in our apartment by 1am. Apparently someone threw a burning cigarette down the garbage chute which caused stuff in there to burn and smoke to shoot up the entire building. Nonetheless, nothing serious occurred and everything was back to normal.

In between semesters/winter holidays in Kuala Lumpur

A month in Kuala Lumpur summed up with pictures..

Jalan-jalan cari makan...
Driving in the middle of the night along the roads of KL can be quite interesting especially with empty roads that are non-existent during the day.


The latest addition to the infrastructure of KL, the 4km Storm, water Management and Road Tunnel (SMART).

Final Score? Malaysian Football is hopelessly hopeless...


Going beyond expectations...

The flight back... This is a whole chapter by itself with problems mounting up and down with MAS.. Lets just say, I got lucky.
