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.
