Where's the electrician?

They say, Ayin and cooking don't mix.. 0:-) (well, I say, but I'm sure some of you agree with me) :D

This morning, I called up the electrician to come over to our apartment to fix our stove... Yep yep, electrician + stove.. sounds odd, ya? but oh well, we students here are stuck with electric stoves... Here's how ours look like:

Notice something wrong? Well aside from it being really dirty (the person on duty hasn't clean it... -.-) The biggest hotplate looks damaged...

And did I mention that on Tuesday, while cooking fried rice, I sorta... blew the stove? 0:-)

Here's a clearer pic of the hotplate:

Notice the top right of the plate, it looks burnt. Well, here's what happened, and I can assure you, it's NOT my fault :P *pokes you to stop laughing*

I was cooking fried rice for the three of us, me, Sindy and Chien.., just like normal... then suddenly I saw a spark, like from those little fireworks, and I looked around, wondering if it was from a camera flash. No camera. Continued cooking... then another spark flew. I was like O.O; I started wondering.. I lifted the frying pan (the biggest one in the house), and I saw that top right part of the plate, literally on fire... xD

With frying pan in hand, I'm like "... is it catching fire? Is something gonna burn? Now what? Now what? Now what?" xD Fortunately Sindy was there... the little fire/spark died down, and I just continued my cooking on the hot plate next to it.

Ever since, that hot plate stopped working. :P

And only today we called him up, supposed to come after 2 pm.. it's 5.12 pm now and no sign of him :P

And really, it's NOT my fault.. nor anything to do with my cooking... 0:-)

EDIT: It's 6.31 PM, and I went downstairs just now, and seems like it's fixed already.. xD a nice new plate too :D

stove fire tip:-

don't panic!
turn off the gas, get a damp cloth and cover the flame.

and DO NOT throw water over the fire!
