wat an adventure… or should i say, i almost panicked to death… it all started at Siggraph Room, was there to do DD work. Theresia joined me in the afternoon… It din dawn onto us that there were severe lightning, though we heard loud thunder and rain…
Then Theresia laundry were drenched by the rain.. cos she could not get back in time to collect them… after that we proceeded to continue doing our stuff there… at around 5 plus, i wanted a toilet break.
happily went to open the door… to my horror… the familiar “click” sound din come at all… Uh oh… =S tried frantically to unlock the door a few more times… but the lock wun budge… dies… we were all trapped in the room… and we din know who to call for help…. until The Guy came… he knocked on the door…
I said, the door is locked… we can’t open… then when he saw the card reader… he was like oh no… cos the card reader panel displayed, power failure… and as a result, all the doors are securely locked… which can be a good and bad thing. The good thing is that, everything in the room is secured… but the bad thing, in case of fire…how to get out?
By then, Theresia and I panicked… we tried to calm down… The Guy helped alot, by talking to us thru the gap at the door… it was relieving, to know that you are not alone in such a situation…
The room, by then, is already very cold, and we are all freezing in there whilst waitng for help to arrive. The Guy went to the General Office and called for campus Security. 15 mins passed and no one came… Die la, are we gonna be trapped till the following day? since tml is a public holiday…
then Theresia called campus security again, and we were told that someone would be sent to unlock the door for us…
another 15 mins went by… this time, there was indeed someone who came to unlock the door for us…
key punching sounds… were heard, and then voila, we are out of the room… my, that was scary… The Guy is happy both of us are safe… i was quite scared out of my wits… cos its the first time being locked in.. =S
relieved…
