This is a picture of Jacklyn sitting beside a flight of stairs in front of Takashimaya at Orchard Road, Singapore enjoying her Green Tea ice-cream which I totally dislike due to its overly strong Green Tea flavouring bleurgh... I think I did mention this sometime back but don't care will keep on mentioning it until kingdom comes wtf
If you think getting stuck in a massive congestion early in the morning is bad, try getting stuck in a lift instead - happened to me few days back, wondering if I should consider myself lucky or the other way round. I mean, out of 6 lifts and 15 floors, what are the odds of entering one with 2 other individuals with one of them getting off on the 8th floor and the lift stopped functioning there?
That's like 1/(6 x 15 x 3) = 0.003703 chance of experiencing lift failure when taking one, buy 4D also higher chances to win something, I think.
Anyway, what happened exactly was the lift door opened only a little, then closed (repeat a few times), as though something was stopping it from extending fully. Then it closed, jerked a little and all the floor indicators went off. Uh-Oh. I did what every man should do, I panicked, banged repeatedly on the door and screamed at the top of my lungs in super high pitch for help no lah just kidding. Press the request for assistance alarm lah, what else.
It was my first time ever pressing it - and hopefully last - I could barely contain my excitement, lols!
I think I mentioned something along the line of the lift no longer functioning, can't open the doors, stuck at level 8, please help us out, blah-blah-blah. So we waited, and waited, and waited and what seems to be an eternity later but in actual fact just about 12 minutes - the lift suddenly indicated that it has reached level 8. I quickly jammed on the Door Open button and walah, it opened, finally!
Ushered the others out while keeping my fingers firmly on the Door Open button then rushed out myself fuh. Quite scary, to be honest, not knowing and not having control over what would probably happen next. The very next day, that particular lift was closed for maintenance purposes - seems like this is not the first time a breakdown occured. Hhmmm...
