Worst 15 Minutes of My Life

(in recent history, that is... Not totally ever)

I woke up this morning, with much reluctance, to pay bills. Yes boring.

As I got home, I noticed the utter silence. Pindrop silence.

[Usually my PC will be buzzing away and the antique air-conditioning thing will be woosh-ing away.]

PANIC!

I immediately ran to the electric box or whatever its called near the main door and flicked the switch up. And down. And up. Again and again.

NOTHING.

Shite. MY PRONNNN!!!!!

*I MUST GET ELECTRICITY BACK!

And the second thing that crossed my mind was, THE FRIDGE!!!!! My ice-creammmm...

Thirdly, I thought of how I am going to survive in a enclosed space with no cool air or working fan.

Fourthly, I thought, maybe this is the right time to panic!

Fifthly, I decided against the above line and chose to be calm.

So I left the house to check out if my neighbours are experiencing the same problem.

Heck. Everybody's at work.

Then I opened the door to the electric mainboard right outside the smallest room of my apartment. WTF SO MANY WIRES AND SWITCHES! No way I am touching anything, I don't wanna be electrocuted to char siew! [Non-halal, sorry!]

And as I walked to the lobby of my floor, I thought I should probably leave early for my lunch with extended family.

LIFTS NOT WORKING! WTFDOT.

No way I am gonna go down on the staircase on what seems like a thousand flights of stairs.

Then, I heard, "Hello! Hello!" with some inaudible grumbling animal-like sounds.

Suddenly, a hand pops out of the door of housemate-from-the-smallest-room's "bad day lift".

I ran. HANTUUUUU!!!!! *eh like horror movie okeh!*

Only when I reached the living room and calmed down, I thought, "That should be a poor guy stuck in elevator la hor?"

At that very moment, I heard some random clickety-clacks and the electricity's back.

Peace and order is restored once again. =)
