In-house arsenist

we have read it in newspapers all the time...

FIRE IN APARTMENTS !!!!

well, we had 2 of our very own fire. the first one was started by seth munauwir.. my gut feeling was that he started playing with some papers in the kitchen. for reason only known to him, the service balcony caught fire. it was quite bad and i think it could have spread bigger but thank God it didnt.

i noticed it by smell. i came home one day and smelled this burnt thingy somewhere in the kitchen. after searching my small kitchen, i saw that the window from the service balcony to the master bedroom toilet was totally burnt ! the glass windows were boken into pieces !

that was really shocking and of course he refused to admit it. i didnt rag him cos my boys are growing up just fine into little gentlemens and they need more love from their dad..

after much prodding, he confessed but didnt want to elaborate more...

now and then i would call him an arsenist to rub it in, trying to burn down the house.. its a gentle reminder to my boys not to take things too lightly.

Riffatt had quite a funny incident in the kitchen. he joined the N.P.C.C. and polishing boots has been a new religion to him. as we all know, its never shiny enough.

so one day, he got this bright idea that he needs to warm up the can of shoe polish.

and he used the little burner on the stove to do it.

next thing you know the little can of shoe polish caught fire... and it was almost hitting the bottom of the top cabinet.

he calmly called me and i strolled over. i pick up the small fire extinguisher and blast the flame away and also half the content of the shoe polish all over the stove.

it was past midnite when all this happened and thank God Rambo was asleep.

i made him clean the kitchen immediately so that he will remember his mistakes...

now, we got 2 arsenist..
