This morning..

I walked down 21 floors. -___-

In my heels and long sleeve work shirt which was ironed meticulously by my mom the night before. Now my legs feels all wobbly and jelly like and the sleeves of my shirt creased from all the folding that was required to keep me from sweating into dehydration.

What happened exactly? FIRE DRILL. -____-

I asked the lady working in my office if this happens often.

"Oh, only once in a year!".
"Well I must be very lucky then!?

Once in a year and it chose to fall on the day where I made an effort to wear something thicker to keep me from freezing my ass off in the cold cold room. Once in a year and it chose to fall on the day where I triumphly proclaimed to myself just an hour before that this time I will not let the cold get to me because I will be all warm and toasty.

I WALKED DOWN 21 FLOORS!!!

At one point, at the 15th floor, I felt a little floaty. Suddenly the steps seem to be moving all over the place and I feared that I could miss a step and tumble all the way down. Then I figured that tumbling down would be less tiring. As I walked down, fixing my eyes on every step I take, many nonsensical thoughts entered my mind.

I wonder how much force and momentum would it take for me to roll all the way down.

I wonder if I miss a step, will I fall flat on my face or will I fall on my bum?

I wonder which one will hurt more.

Omg it's only Level 13!!

Hey, the lady's tudung is very pretty! It’s got glittery ends.
Maybe I should wear a baju kurung to work too.

I wonder if my Ipod's done charging.

I wonder if my pants are too tight.

Oh darn, I hope my panty lines aren't showing.

Oooo…I feel like a cupcake. I wonder if I can find the cupcake shop nearby.

Hmmm…maybe I should shave my armpits today. Oh wait, Chenn said something about threading it in Bangsar.

Should I thread my armpits?

Oh yay it's Level 3!

After reaching the lobby, 3 fire engines came rolling in, their blaring sirens disrupting the monotonous background noise of KL’s traffic. About 20 or more firemen in their firemen-ish uniforms came marching in a line into the building. We were told that the drill will last for 2 hours.

WTF.

I really wondered what were they doing in the building for 2 hours. It’s not like there was a real fire to put out. It was so freaking dramatic I tell you. And a major waste of my time and sweat. T__T

So my senior and I ended up at a little mamak stall hidden beneath the trees. I sat there and soaked in my environment. The warm sunrays peeking through the canopy above our heads, the busy KL traffic, the bustling working crowd, people walking all over the streets with a sense of purpose, all having a role to play this very fine morning.

I felt like I was transported into another world. A world that I had no business in, at least not yet. A world that was kept hidden away from all students. This is the real world. This is it.

It's so different looking at the city when you're sitting there, in the middle of it all. You hear the various sounds blending in harmony, you inhale the mix of musky polluted morning air and somehow you feel that you're a part of this crazy complicated clockwork system. It's amazing!

I think I'm sounding a bit crazy. Hahaha!

Better get to work. I have tonnes of files to go through.

Not having internet access at my client's place sucks plenty! Boo!!

View from my office. KL Tower in full view!

At the lil' mamak nearby.

The pretty canopy right above my head.
