Try saying this in Hokkien (for those who know how).

会落不倒

What is it? It's ELEVATOR. lol. i came across this in a programme which teaches children English in the easy way. in hokkien it mean, "it will go down (descend), but will not fall". what a way to teach.

lol. yep. i'm talking about Lifts, aka Elevators.

i watched 王子变青蛙 and there was this scene whereby they were stuck in a lift. The pulley couldn't support the metal carriage and everything just went crashing down. And the scene got stuck with me.

When i got to the void deck of my block, i saw the "Maintainence in Progress" sign on one of the lifts. But no personnels are in sight, neither are the usual sight of tools all over the tiled floor. I hesitated a while before i stepped into the metal carriage.

However i frantically stepped out when i heard the bell go off for a second. After the mini shock i decided not to take tat particular lift. I pressed the button to beckon the other lift, but it juz wouldn't work for there is already one there, ready. I hesitated for quite some time, pushing the button again and again.

Finally i took a deep breath and stepped into the blue carriage, pressed the button carrying "17", and the one "><". The door closed and up the elevator went. But i could feel the lift shaking and the reels working noisily. The noises seemed to be louder than usual and the lift seemed to be shaking rather than the usual smooth ascend.

I did not sing and scream my lungs out for that's wad i usually do. Instead i stood rooted to the ground, listening intently and praying hard. I understand the peace and relieve that the victims felt when the feeling of the lift reaching the storey and the door opening. i hurried out without delay.

phew that was close. >.<

i was thinking wad should i do if i was really trapped in the lift.

first, scream. then, take calm down. maybe cry. retreat to one corner. press the bell continuously, while taking out my fone and calling my parents or the number on the certificate in the lift (if i can see). and wait for doom. er no. for help. lol..

we ought to be thankful that we're safe. =)

dunno why, the song by Rebecca Tong En, "Do They See Jesus in Me". the une, the lyrics. it rocks. i wan Angela and Fan Fan's song! =)
