I have to say just thinking about it and knowing that if i had stood there for another 30 seconds i would be dead right now does send shivers down my spine. It certainly does give you a different perspective to life. @Malaka: i sure hope it was god that saved me :) @Char~Max: dude i wish i had bought a lottery ticket men. damm! @The benevolent Dictator: yes i am :) @A: uhumm.... trust you to say that hehehe well actually we were in the middle of dinner when it happened, and the food was soo good that while we were waiting for the police on the floor we continued to eat.. were sri lankan's first.. heheh and nothing comes between our food :D First of all thank you everyone for your best wishes.

Nothing like a near death experience to build the appetite ;) Stay safe cuz, and I still think you should consider redocorating w/ kevlar wallpaper. I hear it's west coast chic these days.

What happened to all that food? Surely after such a brush with death.. u didnt eat it... or have your mate eat it.. Therefore my take on this whole thing is that your mate was the real lucky one 'cos 1. he dodged a bullet, 2. and even more importantly.. he escaped eating whatever bollocks you were about to feed him.. This leads me to yet another angle... could it be... that your mate staged this whole thing to escape ur cooking, and get rid of you for good (if possible) but if that failed, at least the night wouldnt be a total loss, cos he'd get at least creme-cheese baguette from your neighbour .. GRIN! I had to! i know..!!! Well thank heavens you're alright! i shall pray for you some more too. and while i appreciate that this changed your outlook and perspective, u seriously need to think about getting that half-cocked moron evicted so he doesnt get trigger happy or plain dumb lucky next time! Lots of love and hugs!!! Right see.. there are a couple of gaps in this, which should give it a whole new perspective..
