Gas Leak

Giving me a headache after 3 days of continuous gas smell all around. Cannot open the window, go out also can smell gas. At first it was just the corner, then when the pressure of the gas was increased (God knows why at a time like this when there is a gas leak already...), further buildings in the campus were also affected.

There're only 2 blocks of student accommodation on Camden Street: Glenamara House and Camden Court. Luckily, I didn't have to be evacuated from my apartment (Camden) but people in Glenamara were not so lucky then. The uni's Pandon Building was also closed. Then again, it's pretty scary to think that if anyone lights up anything and *KABOOM*...-_-'''

(Wednesday afternoon, when the gas leak was just detected)

The police cordoned off the area for a whole day and if anyone wanted to get from one side of the city to the other, they would have to go through other much much longer and further routes. But things seem to be better today, but you can still see the works going on so I don't think the whole situation is settled yet lor... So wish me luck and no one turns into roast pork until then...
