I came to the office this morning in a nice mood. Looking forward to start work. Imagine my horror when I entered the lift lobby, there were many people there. I thought because there was only one lift functioning. Boy, was I wrong. Apparently, ALL lifts weren’t functioning because there was no electricity. I was a little stunned. I couldn’t possibly walk all the way to the 18th floor. Besides, because of no electricity, I couldn’t even enter the office. So I resorted to level 1 for breakfast. A few of my friends were already there, so we hung out for a while.
About 20 minutes or so, we learnt that the electricity was back on but the lifts were still not up. As I was bored of sitting around doing nothing, I decided to climb all the way to the 18th floor. My decision was followed by two other friends.
So there we were, climbing the stairs, counting the steps allowing the number of floors to be the motivator in continuing to climb up the steps. At first I was energetic. So I was quite fast. But as I reached the 10th floor, I became slow; still climbing, not stopping, but not as fast as when I first started. I even had to control my breathing. All those breathing exercise during labour came back to me.
When I finally reached the 18th floor, I was so thankful. Yes…!! I finally did it. The lack of exercise was very transparent. Hehehehe… what to do.
So here I am, sitting down. Still tired and a bit giddy from all the climbing. I hope the lifts will be functioning in time for lunch. I hate to climb down and later climb back up on a very, very full stomach.

Anyway, remember the puppy love thingy, today is his birthday. He is 31 today. It's not my fault that I still remember his birthday. It was somehow embedded in my head.
Dear A, Happy Birthday..!!

Hi Manal,
Fortunately it wasn't one of my high heels shoes. Or else, I don't know whether I'd reach the top :)
Sempat jugak ingat birthday A after climb? Must have been wonderful "puppy love" :P

Pah,
I can't help it lah. Somehow, mesti ingat birthday dia. It's just one of those dates that you don't forget. Wierd, eh?
I-Lyn,
Used to do it gak for a while back then. Konon nak kurus. But biasalah.. hot, hot chicken dropping... hehehehe.. and thanks for the compliment. Terasa kembang lah pulak... hehehehe..
Pisces Man,
Those who were pregant waited until the lift was up and running, which was quite late in the morning. As for your suggestion tu, malaslah nak go for a walk and all. Might as well climb up, after all it is a form of walking i.e. walking up... :)
