What happened in Villagio just now? we were walking past Starbucks and smoke was pouring down the passage from the canal direction, a young girl ran past us screaming and fire engines, ambulances etc were arriving. I decided to get out - fast!! Just interested, if u know?

Your right, we just returned now, the new restaurant 'Paul' was closed, chairs on tables and all staff being lectured quite animately by some guy in authority, maybe the Manager. Smell of burning in the air.

One hour later, went past again on way out, and 'Paul' was open and back to normal.

Thank fully this was not a big event, good to hear of the Carrefour security staff springing into action:-) So they are good for something after all:-)

A cartoon character ? LOL. Well Gypsy said I kinda look like my cat avatar. And in a way I am a cartoon character, atleast silly as one. hehe...hmmm...maybe u imagine me as...one of the looney tunes characters ? Or...one of the Powerpuff girls? LOL

I hope it wasn't as serious at the fire at the Landmark months ago. Can't afford to loose another shop!

You know every time I read your posts I hear this cartoon voice in my head! A nice one, but I can't think of the character. It must be that avatar of yours :-)

Not quiet here; I'm eating celery.

There was a small fire that has already been taken care of.

I was walking in to Carrefore when it happened. What I found funny was that the security guys ran to Carrefore to get the fire extinguisher and then ran out to the fire to use it. They ran passed us and we thought that there may be some shopliftig activity, but when they ran out with fire extinguisher in their hands, we realized there is fire somewhere in the mall.

Any way, it's over now and everything is back to normal.

I just called up my office which is right opposite Hyatt Plaza and they said that they cannot see any abnormal activities there. Seems like everything is under control. Again, Villagio is spread over a huge area and it must have been on another side.

From what my colleagues said, it didnt sound like anything untoward has happened. I will be going to office in an hour. Will check and report firsthand, if nobody has done so already.
