...fire fire...

...on my recent trip to kangar with wt, was supposed to call a fren up, choon to ask for directions again since we are the king of getting lost. when choon answered the call, he said he is in kangar now. we were surprise and what a good time to meet up for dinner there. we have been talking of meeting up for dinner since 2-jan-07. he then told us why he was in kangar that day.

his house was burnt down. he lost all his childhood memories, his childhood toys, his books, his pictures, etc. basically, what he have from his younger days in kangar is gone - burnt down by the fire. all he have left is his important docs and a bunch of memories of his childhood.

we met up for dinner that night. he took us to kuala perlis for seafood. fantastic food and nice place. quiet though - a small town far away from the hustling city centre. the bill came out to be like rm40+; complete with fish, manthis prawn, vege and a few more dishes. later we took a drive to the beachside again; wakakaz my fetish with beaches. the next day after we have completed our session with the institute, we went and visited choon's burnt house in simpang empat. miraculously we found our way there; getting lost only once and indeed it was a sad site to see.

choon's shoplot actually was burnt and whats left was the roti bakar and plastic pail right at the front part of the provision shop. the shoplot belongs to his dad and when i met his dad, obviously he was quite down and upset. but of course, we are glad that no lives were lost. everyone was safe...
