Panic Room

I almost locked myself inside my office backroom...or so i thought initially.

It all happened when i was about to leave the office at 8.57pm. I had to leave by 9pm as my night shift colleague will lock the door and activate the alarm at 9pm. I panicked.

When i was about to run downstairs i remembered that the backroom door needs to be shut otherwise the alarm wont work. i panicked again.

i went inside. it was pitched dark. suddenly a sense of eerieness overwhelmes me.
Ah, what the @#$%@.
I tried to reach for the door while holding on to door #1 open.
ARGH @#$%@!...my hands are not long enough, tried to use my legs...its useless. they're not long enough either. Now i'm looking like a ballerina. Got an idea. i pulled the door #1 wide open to the max and run like a hedgehog to close the other door.
@#$%^&! *THUD* door #1 shut closed. i wasn't quick enough. Everthing went pitch dark. Pulled the lever of door #1. @#$%@. im trap. people from outside need a press a code to enter. Now im inside and there ain't no code for me to enter. @#$%&@! I panicked again.

Thank god there's a phone inside. Intercomed my colleague downstairs for help.
Only then i realised that I just need to press a button from the inside to open the door ! Silly me.

Kinda reminds me of Fear Factor, and i also realised something...when one is panicked or is overcome by fear, the mind can't think rationally and the solution is just right in front of you.

The key word at such situation is 'be calm'.

MBM Gathering (29/4/2006)

Saturday's gathering with the gang was a success as most of us turned up. We had steamboat at the well-known shop located at Kimberly Street. The unique part was the shop still uses the traditional charcoal steamboat.
Its pretty amazing to me how we still managed to keep in touch and still be so close after these years. Many things can change but 1 thing never change, is that all of us used to work at the same company and share the same thought on our bosses. *wink*

Picture was taken by kim's husband. These are the crazy bunch.
