Fire Alarm

This morning, I jogged with Alec. In the previous session, Alec came over to Delphi to meet-up with me; this time, I jogged over to Sparta to meet him. The route was around some neighborhood houses and the park. Once again, I was breathless pretty soon; maybe I have not acclimatized to the cold yet.
The afternoon was spent shopping around Lund Central. Today is the first Saturday of the month so most of the shops have extended opeing hours(normally, shops close at 2 pm on Saturday; today, shops close at 5 pm). It was quite an interesting walk, we explored some shops which we have never got the time to enter.
The evening was very interesting. Junyi, Kaixin and Charlotte came over for dinner. So Alec, Don and I cooked dinner. There were rendang curry, some super expensive oyster sauce bak choy (S$10 for 4 small heads of the vegetable!?) and the infamous roast pork (烧肉). The roast pork was literally on fire. The fat dripping from the roasting pork gave off lots of smoke when in contact with the hot metal oven surface. Don was checking whether the pork was cooked when a small cloud of smoke emerged from the oven's door. Not much of excitment, right?! The next moment, the whole corridor was awaken from their activites by the ear-piercing fire alarm. We did not think much since we thought the small amount of smoke couldn't have activated the fire alarm. Wrong, wrong, wrong! We are the culprits. The alarm was deactivated after 5 min by some unknown guy and I was super embarrassed. I entered the historical records of Delphi Block H Corridor 1 by activating the fire alarm while cooking.
That brings us to another question: why wasn't the alarm activated in Sparta when our rice was smoking freaking badly?
Anyway, the rendang curry was super rich, the bak choy was crispy and the roast pork's taste was authentic. Another dinner success!
