日子一天天的过着。可是，无论外表多么坚强、能干，总会有累的时候。
有些时候，真的好想哭、好想放弃、好想逃避、好想躲起来。。害怕的感觉、让人喘不过气的感觉，我，真的累了。我需要冷静，需要更坚强，需要更努力，需要更勇敢。一定要认真面对得做的事。加油！

Trapped in the lift experience
For the first time in my life, and first incident in the 13 years of my living experience here, I was trapped in the lift (last Thursday). Nevermind why and how, but after the incident, I was filled with thoughts about this incident would have been different if it had happened, say, 5 years back.
This time round, when we entered the lift and it refused to move nor open, we sounded the alarm, and at the same time used my mobile phone to call the lift maintanance company for assistance immediately. Help arrived in 5 minutes. Woah! Fast isn’t it? Apart from the fact that help was near, I would like to attribute the speedy arrival to the use of the mobile phone. Let’s say this happened a few years back, and when mobile phones were not yet so handy and popular, what could your pagar help in this situation? You will probably have to wait for help to come after you sounded the alarm, and not knowing how long you might have to wait (especially if this was in the middle of the night or something when none of the residents could be awake and hear it).
That’s probably one of the plus points for the use of technology and of its advancement. =) For emergency uses, it’s really a beauty. I remembered watching this on Meteor Gardens (ya ya, that show) whereby one of the characters used the quick-dial button on his mobile to alert his buddies that he was in danger (he was “kidnapped” by his mother). Good way to ask for help eh? =D
However, there are down-points to this super good function too. Just the other day, I was sleeping, and I must have heard the notification that I’ve a new sms, so I replied to it and held on to my phone while I drifted back to sleep. And the next thing I know, I saw a sms from one of my Indonesian youth (living in Indonesia right now) asking me why I called her because when she picked up the phone, no one answered her. GOSH~! That must have been me hitting the quick dial and called her accidentally in my sleep. hahaa~ =D So embarrassing.
