Trapped in a lift!

Location: My hostel, USM

Duration: Approximately 1 hour

There were 4 of us inside and the lift was stuck between 2 floors. Holy! It was so hot in there that I kept praying that somebody would come and save us from the horrible death of suffocation. *sweat*

In order to let you have a better picture of what just happened…

    Zhu: Me neither, but I did get a bit uneasy at the thought of having to die of suffocation. O.O

    doreen: I was grateful for that!

    mistipurple: My poor misti! Come… Lemme make a cup of hot coco for ya! ;)

    So you can wear slippers inside the hostel? I remember when I was studying in UM, the hostel had a stupid rule which banned slippers at public place.

    First of all, you have a LIFT in your hostel?
    And second of all, you had a camera with you too? And you were calm enough to take a picture?
    I hope none of you had to go to the loo.

    Glad everything’s ok now :)

    That’s never happened to me but I’m always afraid it will. Remember the scene from You’ve Got Mail? People revealed their real selves while stuck in an elevator.

    Hi Kyh! Back to the Blogosphere to visit this wonderful blog and to find you trapped in a lift… What an experience! ;))
    Meanwhile Blogtrotter is now strolling somewhere around the Holy See of Echmiadzin. Hope you enjoy and have a great Sunday!

    khengsiong: Do you really mean it? And oh, USM is renowned for its relatively lenient rules. :P But of course, this is a hostel, not lecture halls!

    giddy tigress: Of course we have lifts here! There are 9 floors above ground and 2 floors beneath it. ;)

    Oh, that’s the convenience of having a camera phone! :P And I somehow found this experience to be a good blogging material. Haha!

    Nastasshea@Nesh: You wanna have a try? :P

    Linda: Oh, I’ve yet to watch that movie but it sounds quite interesting! ;)

    Trotter: A nasty experience indeed! :(

    Happy Sunday!

    restu? oops.. nvr heard of it b4.. last time Permai was known as the “Hilton” haha.. :P

  18. kyh | November 3rd, 2008 | 2:33

    Hilton? Haha! :P

    RST (Restu, Saujana, and Tekun) were built several years back on the hill opposite the university campus.

    Just reading your story in the lift I begin to panic like I was myself in that situation! (Since ever I am a little afraid when I take an ordinary lift) You make me think yesterday I saw a documentary about the Petronas Towers ( very marvelous building)and was asking to me if I could take the lift to admire Kuala Lumpur!

  20. kyh | November 4th, 2008 | 3:26

    Yeah… I can’t deny that the Petronas Twin Towers are an architectural wonder of the contemporary era. ;)

    Gosh, it reminds me of this comic where a couple of guys got trapped in a lift over New Year’s eve. The lift looked like a disaster zone when the rescuers forced in on the 3rd day. lol

    So how long were you in there?

    Oh… I did mention it at the beginning of this entry ~ approximately 1 hour. ;)

  23. Furkids in Hong Kong | November 6th, 2008 | 23:31

    An unpleasant ordeal for certain. But fortunately, you’re all fine.

    Congrats on the new blog, the .com, and of course, being rescued!

  24. C K | November 6th, 2008 | 23:38

    C K: Haha… Never mind. ;)

    13thpanda: I’m way too slim! My current mission is to put on some weight, not otherwise! :P

  27. eastcoastlife | November 7th, 2008 | 20:39

    aiyoh…. pity you.
    I have never been trapped in a lift *touch wood* but I can imagine how frightened and how uncomfortable I’ll be. :P

    Trust me, you wouldn’t wanna get yourself into a situation like this!

  29. LM | November 10th, 2008 | 17:21

    At least got other people inside.. more scary if alone and no help comes.

  30. kyh | November 10th, 2008 | 19:33

    That’s for sure!

  31. _butt | November 12th, 2008 | 19:23

    thank God! no claustrophobic symptoms? :P

    _butt´s piping hot creation…too close for comfort.

  32. kyh | November 14th, 2008 | 22:08

    Nope… ;)

  33. Angele | November 20th, 2008 | 0:26

    omg… I would have gone crazy if I was trapped in a lift! But then again being trapped with someone else is better than being trapped all alone, right? *lol*

    Being alone in a lift is kinda scary!

    Angele´s piping hot creation…Back from…

  34. kyh | November 20th, 2008 | 15:03

    I couldn’t agree more! ;)
