I was burnt. On my feet. Phew. I really thank God it was just a slight burn and it could have been worse! We were happily tucking into our food, and I was happily cooking when suddenly there was a huge flame right in front of me!

I thought it was just a small burst out from the stove. But it got so near to me, and I was feeling hot! Then I realised that the fire was ON me!!! And then it spread to my feet! I ran away from the table and then there was no more fire. When I turned back, the hose was still burning. Coz of the gas cylinder, there was a rather big flame. The workers then came and switched off the fire. Wah.. it was real scary. Emily, Max, Huizhen and Andy just stood there shocked and dumbfounded! They wanted to say something, but nothing came out of their mouth.. Heh.

Then they came over and asked if I'm alright. I thought I was fine initially, till suddenly I feel that my feet was burning hot. It was then that I realised that my feet was burnt! Emily helped me to put some ice on my feet, which wasn't too wise a decision, as it'll cause blisters, but yet it was more cooling. Then we called the supervisor to come. He asked me to remove the ice and asked his worker to get a can of condensed milk. He then pour the milk on my feet and spread it out evenly. He said that'll prevent inflammation.

Before we can even really sit down and enjoy our food, everything was spoilt! Sigh.. So we negotiated with them and managed to get a refund. And he said that they'll pay for my medical bills. So we went to Raffles Hospital, which was nearest to Marina South. Guess what? The bill was $122.36!!! Soo expensive. The doctor prescribed some cream, antibiotics and painkiller. But thank God they said that they'll pay for it. Thank God for Max as well. He'll help me to bring the receipt back to them and collect the money for me. :D

I would have been burnt throughout. And thank God my face was not burnt! Phew.. it was a rather tramatising experience, but I really thank God for His divine protection. Phew..

After leaving the hospital after like 45minutes, we walked to Bugis for dinner. Huizhen they all wanted to eat Sakae Sushi. So we went to Sakae at Bugis Junction, or was it Seiyu? Dunno. The one with Mos Burger. After dinner, I took the train back with Emily & Max. Just got back and bathed. And guess I'm sleeping soon. Tired.. and I think the medicine'll cause drowsiness..hahaa... Nitez... I pray for healing in the name of Jesus........
