FIRE drill


<-- Desasiswa Saujana

1 of the blocks la,not mine. Imagine running down the staircase from the 9th floor...





Last night or rather early this morning,bout 12+ i was startled by the fire alarm ringing - first thoughts were for real or not? And was it my block?
Turned out twas the guys block next to mine having a fire drill...

Me and Suria were laughing at them cause the drill's here are pretty serious, the guards actually run to every room and yell for everyone to get out..
So there were the guys most in their sleeping clothes, being herded like sheep to the "safe" spot.
I was like, kekeke- we didnt kena, woo hoo!
Was also laughing cause Squatto Chris would've been there...

Finally, everything died down and i went back to doing my work.
Mana tau, 10mins later MY block alarm went off...!!! Quite smart also the security guards...i was totally not expecting two drills in one night...
First thing Suria said : Quick! Switch off the lights and lock the door- pretend we're not in...!
Well, we did do that at first, but i didnt really like that...call me jakun but i was quite excited to go down...hahaha

So i threw a big t-shirt over my singlet (takkan go down so exposed...)
We could hear the guards yelling "Cepat...cepat! Api! Lari! " And Suria, being the girl she is, was walking along to the stairs and yelling back "Ya lah, ya lah!!!" - almost collided with the shouting guard when she went round the corner...
Me? Laughing all the way...

I dunno- i dont find these things to be a pain; total opposite actually.
There we were, coupla hundred of gals, being herded like sheep and laughed at by other blocks...bleh!
Some were really in their pj's though, SO FUNNY! thank goodness i wasnt wearing anything too kiddy or malu-fying...
After it all i was SO wide awake (which was good as had to finish an assignment due today)
Which reminds me of how frus i was cause my group member sorta didnt do his part right, so i pretty much altered 80% of it...
BUT- who cares, its all done and passed up and thats all that matters... Me remembering last night's drill keeps me in good humour.
Been awake for 30ish hours or so...Cant decide if i should sleep now and get up late late evening which means wont be able to sleep at night... OR tahan till night and crash...

Oh, didnt feel so bad after that cause there was ANOTHER fire drill at the next block...kekeke.
What goes around, comes around la;
So be careful when laughing at others...
But what i always say is "I'm not laughing AT you, i'm laughing WITH you...." kekeke
=p

Fire drills...ahh...that bring back memories. Although they aren't fun ones, cause American idiots like to pull the fire alarm at like 3 am in the morning. However I have also discovered an interesting fact...it does not matter what time the alarm was pulled, but some girl will have been in the shower and will come down in a bath robe.

oh and in regards to the request in your previous post....
