care to explain further on what you did before the burnt smell came along? Does it still work (does the LED still emit light?) ?

do confirm this 'out of order' status by testing the pedal with battery- it might be your adapter instead... ignore this if your pedal is definitely out of order...
The LED is dead. i still don't exactly know what caused it. I was re-arranging the pedals of my pedalboard and when I re-daisy chained it and switched it on, nothing happened. None of the pedals were on. I thought my power adapter died or something, but when I test my pedals one by one, it worked until I got to the CE-2. No sound, no LED - nothing. I opened it up, and I smelt something burning. My other Boss pedal on the board still work.
@subversion Yeah, tested it with a battery already - still dead.

Don't think so. I velcroed all the pedals in place first and i attached the daisies on them one by one. I keep 'em all tied underneath my pedaltrain all the time so I doubt any of it were sticking out. If its useful information, i bought a Godlyke 12-24v ISO pump for my MI Audio Crunchbox in front of the CE-2 yesterday.
always switch off/remove power supply when rearranging. Ive shorted my share of pedals.
Nowadays i just use this
MC403 Power System
The MC403 Power System—a collaboration between Bob Bradshaw and the MXR design team—is truly the ultimate power supply. The MC403 powers more types of pedals and electronics at one time than any previous power supply unit available. High quality, high performance toroidal transformers ensure quiet operation with superior performance capabilities. Designed for maximum flexibility, the MC403 can be used on pedal boards or rack mounted in a single rack space with the front mount bracket (included). All multi-tap outputs are completely isolated, linear regulated, and shortcircuit protected. Enclosed in a heavy-duty housing, the MC403 is designed for years of rugged road or studio use.

^ hmm i also own the bbe supa charger
Heres another product with a torroidal transformer. However not using now as it doesn't provide enough juice for my needs. Not that im using lots of pedals but my tc nova repeater and tc modulator takes up about 300 Ma each which it simply doesn't provide.
Specs sheet:
Input: 120v-240v 50/60HzOutputs:
Six 9VDC 100mA regulated: (1-4 & 7-8) Two 9VDC 200mA regulated: (5-6)Fuse Protected: Yes. Dimensions: 6" (W) x 3.5" (D) x 1.6" (H)Shipping Weight: 2lbs.
Of course if you're on a budget, daisy chains are still the most cost effective and it doesn't take up board space. Both the godlyke and the one spot come highly recommended. However if you're board consists of pedals with $1000+ worth of value which many of us have. You're much better off owning one of these(mxr, bbe). Also no issues using either pedal internationally unlike the voodoo labs pedal power which comes only in either 120v or 230v versions.
Ebay prices: bbe around S$150 with shipping
mxr around S$380 with shipping
Warning if you do decide to purchase one of these do read the manual first. They usually ship with settings set to 110v.

Thanks for all your suggestions for what power supply that would be better to use instead of my Godlyke. I kinda worried of my chorus right now. I called Sound Alchemy yesterday and it didn't sound too good. It seems that there is a good chance that I might lose this pedal :\. Any ideas what other chorus pedals sounds just as good as the MIJ CE-2? Just wanna know what to look out for if its beyond repair, or, if there is a damn good repair shop in Singapore?

TYMC does pretty good work on pedals... You can try paying them a visit.
Alright, I might visit them sometime, maybe the end of the week, or possibly in a week's time, 'cos I have a lot of work to do.
By any chance do they charge a consultation fee or something, you know, just to see what's wrong with it? I know Sound Alchemy does.I don't want them to look at it, tell em its good as junk and charge me for it.

Not too sure about a 'consultation fee', but I don't think they would charge... Still, it's best to ask first...

Ahh dang it... I guess your next best bet would be to try guitar connection. They handle vintage pedals as well besides guitars, so they should be quite sensitive to your predicament...
