The story goes like this....
23 May 2008 (Fri)
Was happily anticipating for the weekend to come. Michelle was going back to JB. Diane, our only housemate at that time, following her weekly routine returned home to Seremban. Meaning I have the whole apartment to myself! Yays!! =) Vince decided he needed to go home -- to persuade his dad to let him drive a car down considering how troublesome the T407 bus could be and also to ease our journey back to Pg later. =(
24 May 2008 (Sat)
Spent a whole day hibernating in Michelle's house. After dinner, decided to go up to Kevin's place for movie marathon. I took my wallet, keys, phone.. and happily left Michelle's apartment. After walking out the door, i realised i forgot my water bottle. Turned back in, filled up my water bottle and walked back out the door, clicked the wooden door's lock as i walk out and *bam* the door shuts. OMG....!!!!! WHERE'S MY KEYS???!!!! *furiously pats own body from head to toes* IT's NOT HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shit shit shits.... THINK THINK THINK!!! WHERE COULD IT BE?!!! *thousand and one thoughts raced through my brain as i tried to locate my keys and pondered on the bleak future ahead* AH SHITS!!!!!! I left it on the table when i filled up my bottle!!!!! Bloody bollocks!!!!!!
Time trapped: 8.36pm =S
Ok, some of you mite be thinking.. locking yourself out only ma.. Go to Kevin's place la...
Problem is... Michelle's apartment has some tricky doors. It's the type of front entrance where first, there's the metal grill, then there's the wooden door. In between, there's this tiny space, called the NO MAN'S LAND. It's named so, because.. if you're ever locked in between the metal grill and the wooden door, you'll belong nowhere -- u can neither walk back into your house, nor can u walk out of your house -- trapped in that miserable small space like a refugee on no man's land. Can u imagine it now?? If u still can't...

A-03-08, Angkasa Condo, Cheras.I've to succumb to the fact that i'm a STUPID FORGETFUL IDIOT, and that there's a VERY HIGH possibility that i'll have to be trapped in there for let's see.. *starts counting: today's saturday.. Michelle, Diane n Vincent will only be back tomorrow at dunno what time.. That's like more than 24 freaking hours!!!!* Well, at least i have 1L of water with me... How long u think that'll last before i die??? But wat happens when i wanna pee?! Wat am i to do??! Gosh.. I don't wanna die here like this!!!! I can foresee Monday's headlines: "Industrial trainee dehydrated and toxicated in between doors." T_T
First thing i did after having a brain shock, i text'ed Kevin. It went something like that:
J: "Oh shit. I'm trapped in no man's land! How??!"
K: "Oh shits! Are u serious?"
J: "Yup. I wouldn't be joking about something like this??!!!"
[Flashback] Hours earlier during lunch Kevin asked, "What's the most scary situation u can think of?] I didn't know how to answer then, but at this particular moment i knew very well wat's my answer next time.
And then i ransacked the pile of thrown out ex-housemate's stuffs that's on the same land as me.. looking perhaps for a miracle key. There were dirty clothes, old dusty notes, and aha! a pirated dvd. Maybe i could break into the house by swiping the dvd plastic cover through the door seal like how i've done a thousand times in my hostel (with name cards tho). Desperate times call for desperate measures!! Unfortunately.. the door was built to prevent pathetic thieves like me. Then, a bulb lighted in my head. *Ding!* I have my hostel spare key with me! Maybe.. JUST MAYBE.. it mite work! Let's quick try it! Jammed the key into the hole, turned, twisted n shaked to no avail. AARGHHHH!!!!! Should i kick the door down?! Cannot la, don't wanna spoil the door. hahaha..
Finally, Kevin came down.. As expected, he laughed so hard when he saw the plight i was in. Besides asking me HOW DID THIS HAPPEN??!!! he was also busy taking photos and interviewing me! He even tried calling Vincent to gloat at my predicament even tho i warned him not too! (cos i know Vince would be laughing like mad). Luckily, Vince was sleeping. Kevin Yaw Terng Chi, i'll never forgive u for treating me like a caged animal in a zoo! hahaha.. =P Luckily, he did helped in some ways, he helped me call a locksmith. Which was an idiotic vegetable! He apparently was the only one who stuck his tel. no all over the condo, so we have no choice but call him. He actually dared to incur my wrath by answering Kevin: "Not sure.. Let me call u back." WTH?!! This is an emergency man!!! You're suppose to save me here!! You actually turned down business?! and eternal gratitude from me?!!! AARRGHHH!!!!!!!
Next, i sms'ed Michelle.. sending together ALL my hopes in the sms... I don't know what karma i've accumulated, but i must have made it onto the "Good Girl" list on Lady Luck's book of 'People Who Deserve Some Luck Once In A While'. hahaha.. ^.^ You see, Michelle has an ex-housemate, "D" (name shall not be revealed here for special reasons) who so happen to still own the old set of keys after he left the house and he actually stays nearby! Yays!! That is when i suddenly wondered IF he's still in KL that nite, and IF he still has the keys! Gosh.. stress!!!
Thank God, thank the heavens above, thank my parents, thank Kevin for entertaining me while making me me feel like digging a whole in the ground, thank Michelle who was 320+km away, and thank D who DID have the keys, and was coming to set me free!!! hahaha..
Like lightning, D and his fren (Wong if i'm not wrong) came to rescue the day! Yippee!!! Y^o^Y
When D came.. The first thing i said to him was "PLEASE pass the key to me so i can open the wooden door to get my own keys in there." But no... He wouldn't pass me the keys! Yalar i know, i must have looked like an idiotic fool to end up trapped between doors, but even with ALL my stupidity, i could GUESS that the extra padlock hanging by the side of the grill is THE old lock u used to use when you were staying here last time! Plus both were different brands of locks! U think Michelle n her housemates wouldn't something about it when someone else have a whole set of keys to their house?! Use your brain, use your brain, use your brain!!! And so he was twisting, turning and fumbling with the old lock. He even had to test the padlock hanging by the side! Then tell me: "Oh, Michelle changed the padlocks." Walao.. I tell u... GUYS and their ego!!!! -.-"" Sighs.. Thank god i wasn't having any urge to pee, if not, i would've yelled at you man! ish.. =P
In the end, after wasting precious moments, i FINALLY got hold of the treasured spare keys --> opened the wooden door --> skipped happily into the hall (figuratively) --> grab my own set of keys --> and smiled all the way back out the door to open the metal grill. *floating on cloud 9*
The feeling of liberty has never tasted sweeter. =D *victory dance*
Time freed: 9.12pm ^o^
U know, thinking back.. i seriously can't rmb why there was so much time in between for D to talk to me about how he was rushing to meet some guy in KL city, how lucky i was that he decided to drive through tmn connaught to have a look, how i must treat him a meal.. how he forgot my name and even who am i when i just had lunch him 3 weeks ago?! Weird..
Anyways, i'm really thankful i was only trapped for just 36 minutes! Compared to the potential 24+hrs, that half hour was really really so much more shorter. =DD ALSO, i'm glad that A-03-08 is situated rite at the end of the block. So, no one else will ever see you trap unless you call out. hahaha... Can't imagine the embarrassment i'll face if some neighbour found me locked like that. =s And you know what's the most bothering thing? The lousy locksmith didn't even call back! What happens if some old auntie was trapped in a situation like me?! Don't let me find out who this guy is. If this guy was just staying in the same condo, he shd be trapped in no man's land himself one day w'out any tools, nor phone! mwahahaha.. =P
