AND THE JOURNEY CONTINUES..

Where was i? Yah,i was trapped inside the elevator on level 3, all alone in the dark. It was totally dark, and i had to wait for a few minutes for my eyes to adapt to the darkness. After a while, i could see a little bit, trying to search for the emergency button.. I didnt dare to look around, just staring at the buttons in the elevator. I was worried if i turn my head behind or look to my side, i might see "something" that i dont want to see.. When I was struggling looking for the emergency button, suddenly the elevator’s door slowly opened.. The moment the door opened wide enough for my size (i’m skinny so i didnt have to wait so long), I quickily squeezed my way out of the elevator, ran toward the staircase, ran up the stairs to level 4 straight to the library! No looking back.

Finally, I managed to escape from the elevator! I was so relieved to see the bright lights and students walking around in the library. I told the librarian about the incident and he said "Awal juak lif ya berolah". I didn’t bother to ask further. After i returned my books, I left, didn’t want to use the elevator so I went down using the staircase. Safer! When I reached home, i told my sister about it and she said may be the faculty is haunted. I don’t know, may be..

I have just finished writing email to my friend who is working in Saudi Arabia. Arrgh how i envy her…! She gets to work in a big hospital that uses way advanced health system.. latest practice and technology.. and her salary.. fuuyoooo!!! jelesss nyerrr.. while i am still stuck here in Malaysia.. overworked and underpaid.. sad eh.. Angela, i hope you will be doing fine in King Faisal. Don’t flirt with the "Pak Arab", takut jadi bini no.4! Muahahahah… I wonder do they celebrate Valentine’s day the way we do.. Maybe not, it’s not their culture anyway.

This year i totally forgot about Valentine’s day till i saw people selling flowers by the roadside.. After spending the whole day stitching episiotomy, i decided to go to the faculty’s library that night to return some books. Around 9.30pm i reached the faculty’s compound, parked my car and went in. The library is on the 4th floor so i used the elevator lor.. I was alone. The corridor was empty with no students walking around as usual. So i thought maybe everybody went out dating! Biasalah Valentine’s day.. Inside the elevator, alone.. I was busy sending sms to my colleague talking about our work for the day when SUDDENLY.. i heard some weird sound came from the top of elevator. I didn’t bother until the elevator suddenly stopped with some jerky movement, you know.. like one of the typical scene we always watched in horror movie.. I was in level 3, one more to level 4. Aarrgh.. i was screamin inside my head! So i pushed button 4 hoping that the elevator would go up. But i still get the weird sound from the elevator’s roof and jerky movement. My hands started to feel cold clammy, my heart pumping fast and hard, i could feel myself sweating with the aircond so strong inside the elevator. EEE.. seram sejuk.. The only thing that was on my mind was the scene from Dark Water (Japanese horror movie) where the elevator always stuck at the haunted level and the little girl’s spirit standing outside!! Again I pressed the button, and instead of going up to level 4, the elevator’s door slowly OPEN! I SCREAMED INSIDE MY HEAD "No no no no dont open! CLOSE! CLOSE!" Pressing the ‘close button’ again and again, but the door opened wider and wider. The outside corridor was so dark, and  I was so worried that some sex maniac man might jump out of the dark! Frankly speaking, I was much more afraid of a man than a ghost!

Then, the door slowly closed.. Feeling a little bit relieved, still hoping for the elevator to go up level 4.. When suddenly everything became dark inside the elevator! A BLACKOUT!! The elevator stuck, blackout, everything jammed and I was trapped inside the elevator..all alone..!!
