Burnt!!

U all wouldn't believe what happened just now... sleepy & friend was having dessert @ Seasons Reasons (located @ the new Marketplace of City Hall) when "disaster" stroke! We we eating their signature dessert, cup in a cake; which is actually chocolate brownie with vanilla gelato and mocha chips (or @ least we think they r mocha chips...) and commenting that although it is Halloween, there doesn't seem to be many decorations @ the restaurants we have walked passed. So anyways, sleepy's friend was pointing out that there were actually 2 small little pumpkins on the table @ the entrance and sleepy was trying to lean forward to see it (being blocked by a pillar), oblivious to the fact that there was an unconvered container with a tealight in front of her. Suddenly, a "Szzzzzssszzzzz" sound could be heard and to her horror... her lovely tresses have been fried!!! Luckily only a little portion of the hair was burnt, resulting in a part of the hair becoming curvy wurvy, but the worst thing was that, there was such a horrid smell!!! How come fried hair smells soooooo bad??? Just what is our hair made of anyways?? Of course, the bill was paid immediately so that ms frantic sleepy can go home to wash her hair to get rid of the bad smell... it is still wet now... hope it will be ok tomorrow *crosses fingers*

Think I always have had this "fascination" with fire... oh I don't like to play with matches, but rather with tealights. Used to love to burn those aromatherapy stuff when I was in hostel and also @ home or those candles that gives off some scent when burnt. As the holders/tealights are usually circular in shape, when the candle wax has burnt off in the middle, there is actually still some wax left @ the circumference of the base, and not wanting to waste, I would "dig" up the wax & put them in a new tealight and so on and so forth. Sometimes the wax pieces can be quite big causing the tealight to overflow haha... but actually that is still q ok; sometimes the wick burns finish but there is still a LOT of candle wax left over... mois would then use the burnt candle stick to try to burn dwn the wax or something (cant remember what I was doing then) and sometimes the fire can get q big... causing like a mini bonfire of sorts!! I remember once I was in hostel, I was using a burner that was not covered. Somehow my tissue paper holder was placed pretty near the burner and somehow coz the fan was turning @ dat time, the tissue paper caught fire and burnt the plastic holder!!! Gosh... luckily I happened to see in time or else sleepy would now be paying through her teeth for 1 block HAHAHA!!!

Morale of the story: restaurants should NOT use such dangerous tea light holders! :P :P :P
