Zi'idiot
today was supposed to be a great day. normally ends at 12:30, but today PW had nothing much to do, so was let off 45mins earlier!!! (woots) so hungrily and happily, we went into the lift and me and wee pin was quite happy since we'll be able to hand up our A*star form on time since it wasn't 12 yet.then about 2 secs from us reaching 1M, Zi'idiot (at this point i suppose many will be able to guess who that is), went to force slightly open the lift door. didn't really affect the lift much, but it most certainly affected its operation. the lift stopped with a sudden jerk and a small word which read "maintenance" appeared on the display panel. woots.
Zi started laughing non-stop like it was something damn funny, and started reassuring us that its nothing much and last time he got stuck for only about 20secs. after a min passed, he started saying that he was stuck for 5 mins last time. after another min passed, he started saying how yz was stuck in there for 30mins last time. woots, oh great, stuck in the lift with an asshole.
then i realised something, THE A*STAR FORM!!!! looking at the time, it was about 11:59. luckily ronald managed to get a call from cunzhi, who went off to look for mr tay to save us. if not i probably won't be here blogging about it, unless chris's phone can connect to the net from inside the lift.
and Zi seemed to really enjoy it and i really doubt his definition of fun. getting stuck in the lift with 10 other ppl, fighting for space and fresh air while being worried about the deadline for handing up a form worth $2k isn't really what i consider "fun".
but the form isn't really the primary concern then. there was 11 ppl and it was bloody hot in the lift, just like a sauna, moreover it was extremely stuffy. although i noticed that the max capacity of the lift is 20 ppl. if there really was 20 ppl there, i think we'll only be able to vibrate about a fixed position. so if i was ever reborn as a molecule, i wish to be an air molecule that exists in some high mountains somewhere.
after an excruciating 30mins (thanks zi, no more early lunch), mr leong (DHM) and the repairman came along to free us from the lift (3 threes for them, cunzhi and mr tay!). then had to rush off to certify the form and wee pin made it just in time to hand up his form as we met mrs tan woon ching collecting the forms just as we got to the staff room (what luck).
according to sara and germaine, they heard the alarm of the lift go off (us pressing it duh), but they were not sure, so they didn't report it to the general office and went for lunch instead -_-. really grateful for cunzhi we would REALLY still be there.
this can be a good way of skipping lessons though, just go jam the lift and tell the teacher you were late cause you were stuck in the lift. that is if you don't mind the hot air, the stuffy and cram place. although the teacher will probably get suspicious of why the lift always jams when you're in it.
lesson learnt: N-E-V-E-R E-V-E-R take a lift with Zi again.
