Morning Hazard
Bring it!
Every work day, I am extremely early at the office. Don't get me wrong, I ain't a morning person. But the fact that I could have a good 50 minutes just for myself, tending to a hot chocolate by the computer screen (reading blogs), I could not help but be early.
But this morning, my stringent schedule went bonkers. As I realised that the elevator I was riding got stuck.
Brrrrrrriiinnnnnnngggggg!!! Bringgggggg!!! This petite Chinese lady kept on pushing the Bringgggg button. "Aiyoh, stuck ah," she said.
Like duh woman, I thought. The tudung lady besides me looked startled, and held her hand bag closer to her chest. The petite Chinese lady kept on Bringgg-ing.
All of a sudden, the elevator moved, stopped, moved again, and stopped. The door immediately opened, but to our horror (yes, I was scared), it only opened two inches wide. Through the crack, it was obvious that we were stuck between the third and the forth floor.
"Aiyoh, macam mana?" the petite Chinese lady said.
On my left, the tudong lady was already on Bismillahirahmannirahim mode, while I suggested to petite Chinese lady whether we should pry the door open. "Yeah, good idea!" she said. Both of us grabbed our respective side of the door and pulled. Surprisingly, it worked!
"Sekarang, macam mana?" the tudong lady asked. Sweet God, good point. Are we to climb or to roll over to the third floor? For some reason, both options looked incredibly Mission Impossible.
As I stood there to think, the elevator door shut again, and I remember at that exact point, that I was going to be a goner. But, I guess God still have faith in me, as I found the elevator lowering down to the ground floor and opened. Immediately, all three of us rushed out like very mad prisoners, and became bestfriends with the staircase that day.
PS: Just for the day...

do you know it is dangerous to pry open doors of lifts that are stuck in between floors. but if there's nothing else one can do, it's better to climb up than to jump down.
sudah kena banyak kali wooo!!!
You lucky devil, got stuck with two ladies.... my mind is wondering... far very far....
join the club! i've been stuck twice. 1st time for 1hr with 2 friends where i experienced my 1st panic attack and the 2nd time alone. trust me things get a whole lot worse when you're claustrophobic and reliving memories of movies on plunging elevators don't help either!!
thank god, you're alive!
Isn't there atleast one horror/thriller movie that has a person who's trying to climb out an elevator that stuck between 2 floors and got his/her body cut into two just when he/she is halfway through.
cool experience.. wonder how long you gonna shun the elevator. hmm..
hmm...i would hope for officer Jack Traven (reeves in Speed) to rescue me. ;) of course la, u won't hope for the same thing. euw :)
hehehe...i rarely take the elevator...1st floor meh!! anyway...that god you survived that.Is there any possibilities ppl can be cut into 2 after getting stuck between the door of a moving elevator? have to check on Jaime and Adam (Mythbuster) on that la :P
nearly fell off my chair laughing. I've lost count the number of time this happened just by reading ur blog. *lol*
You take simple event, churn it out using simple descriptive sentences and somehow weave it all together into hilarious short stories. Me like very much. Keep it up :)
eh, lupa.. What happened to Ms Chi?
u r a girl.
There has been a case in my building, the cable break loose! From 45th to 40th floor. A guy break his leg. Lucky his all rite.
Lucky u are too!
Look at it this way - you don't have to do the stairmasters in the gym today LOL!!! At least the two ladies showered and wore deodorant right :P :P :P
I think I am getting used to it -- being stuck in a lift. The only thing is I haven't had two girls at once yet.
Like Jay would have said, "We are dying soon. Let's fuck. Snootchies Bootchies.
i guess i'm still lucky enough.. tak penah lagi got stuck in a lift. nasib baik tak jadik cam a scene from Hollywood Tower of Terror ride.. :)
OMG.. scarynya
the babe :
alamak, dangerous ke? I guess following what the action heroes do in movies is not really a great idea. but i guess both the chinese lady and i was simply following our instinct kot...the door opened a tad, so let us out!!! hahahah...
woi, kena banyak kali ke? amat scary woooo!!! hehehehe...
rostam78 :
yeah, despite me acting quite the cool stud (muahahhaah), it was really a nightmare. Especially climbing up them million stairs afterwards...damn.

Jackie :
Hey, thanks for dropping by! :) Yeah, why do thriller movies would atleast have one scene involving a plunging elevator? Even star wars had it! hehehe...but yeah, I was wondering, statistically: how many elevators in KL have plunged down to its own destruction? Hmmmm...
Pojan :
I know! Ground floor never looked so good since...
Hahahhahaha...cut into half? That's soooo true!!! Thank God none of us tried doing that, since the door snapped-closed before we could escape. I bet if we did, someone would have been 1/2 whole...
Kepala Angin :
I recently talked (more like complain complain) to management about it, and they cooly said "Oh yea ke? Memang sudah tahu..." I was like WTF? This morning, that particular elevator was under repair, and I decided to take another one instead...

Silent :

*gasp* good God, just reading your post makes me hyperventilating (I'm claustrophobic)
*gasp*gasp*
did u ever wish u r stuck with somebody else in the elevator other than the chinese lady and the tudung girl?
i remember reading a news article a few years ago that left me quite traumatised.
a man was stuck in between the doors of a malfunctioning lift in south africa. lift doors usually have sensors that would stop the lift from moving, but the sensor in this particular lift was not working, and the lift moved upwards with the man stuck in between the doors.
the man was torn to pieces.
phwaliauweeeh, sungguh dramatik! i wish MY office elevator could do that!
call me weird..but i find stucked in a lift with a stranger is interesting...
go figure
wow.. i wouldn't go near an elevator for the next few months if i were in ur shoes. :). unless.. i am stuck with a cute, interesting and funny guy *grins*
frankenstaina :
Oh, so sorry! yeah, totally can relate about feel a tad clastro...it was during Merdeka eons ago, and i was walking with friends at bukit bintang. bodies were squashed everywhere, and i remember i had trouble breathing...
from then on, i tend to avoid HUGE crowds, unless, its at a concert, per se...
zetty :
hey, thanks for dropping by! :) Hmmmm...that is a really good question. Can I get back to you on this? ;) anyway, if you had a choice, who would they be?
the babe :
Oh sweet God, that's so graphic! I think I would probably skip lunch after reading that...hehehhehe...
disco-very :
Hahahaah...I should have known, that you would have gotten a kick from this traumatic event! hehehe...you can always come to my office and go for the ride. Hmmmm...probably sell tickets if its that good. ;P
lissa karina lee abdullah :
not weird. hehehe...yeah, i think everyone has some sort of sexual fantasy of doing the *ahem* in the elevator. especially when it involves with some hot stranger...;P
shell :
hahahahaha...just like lissa karina (and dade ghost, and vlad) I see. Throw in a hot babe in there, and hey, so what if I'm a goner? hehehehehe...;P
