Fire!!!!

Sounds terrible and dangerous, huh? Well, it certainly is... (phew)

I went to Yen Cheng's house on last Friday till Sunday. Nothing bad happened on Friday as we were out the entire day and only returned at night, so it's alright. Then came Saturday... This is when the title happened...

Yen Cheng said we can only dine one meal outside, which is reasonable for me (save money also), so I went along with her plan and chose to dine outside for dinner. Thus, we had to cook ourselves lunch, right? So we thought of making macaroni with tomato puree (Kimball: not bad, not bad at all). So macaroni is set (boiled and dried), so here comes the frying part (we are making the dry version).

Well, as Jen Hann's non-stickable pan looks erm... erm... not that healthy? (with the black little thing coming out), so we, okay, I went on to the other wok and didn't know of one fact that made the following incident happened: I didn't know the wok was thin!!!!

So have you guessed what happened? Precisely that... After the macaroni is boiled with a big fire, I switched it just instantly with the wok, with the big fire. I poured in the oil and the wok started to smoke. Lots of smoke was coming out of the wok. Then whoosh!!!! The oil caught fire!!!!! It was like when those Chinese chef put some wine and then kaboom!!!! came the flame... That was exactly what happened.

I quickly switched off the switch and waited for the oil and fire to cease.
Formula: oil (-) = fire (-)

So eventually it died and was I so glad... (phew). Yen Cheng almost made a huge mistake by wanting to pour water in it, but didn't.
Formula: water (-) = fire (-) as oil (+ floating on water)

I felt so guilty and kept apologizing for like a million time (okay, i know, that's exaggerating, but for dramatic effect... You know)
