In the name of Allah, the most merciful and most gracious, I start today's journal entry by praising Allah s.w.t for His mercy bestowed on me and my family. Two days ago , I had a life-threatening experience... you can say that because our neighbour's house, which was a few metres away caught fire.. It was so frightening to see the roof of the house on fire. You couldn't imagine how I felt at that time, I was thinking.. "Is it happening to me?".
I was in my room, browsing the internet, when it happened. At first, I thought that someone was burning the rubbish in their compound. Then I thought to myself that they shouldn't be doing this since it was windy that afternoon and it was real hot. When the air was filled with smoke, I went to the window and peeped outside. I could see fire coming out of the window of my neighbour's house. Then I started searching for my phone and tried to call the fire brigade. I couldn't remember the number. Luckily my 9 year old son told me , it was 994. When i called the number, the man who answered it said that it was Penang's number and I had to call Perlis's number. What....??. I couldn't remember the number given by him so I had to call again to ask for the number.. Finally , I was able to memorize it and gave the centre a call. The man at the other end said that they had sent somebody there.
Well , to make the story short... the fire damaged the house and the adjoining house..it was a semi detached house. We were very lucky because the fire didn't touch our house.
I am really grateful that nothing bad happen to us.. God is gracious.. Thank You Allah....
