First Time Stuck In A Lift

-
In the 27+ years of my life, I never exprienced being stuck in a lift before. Today, the unlucky thing happened. I was stuck in my office lift for about half an hour just as I was running late for work.

I must say that it was a nerve wrecking exprience, but I was surprisingly calm throughout the ordeal, which lasted for about 35 mins. I must say the building maintainence team was slow in reaction!!

The security of the building said that the lift was overloaded, as a result it caused the lift to sink about 5m from the ground floor. I am surprised, why didn't the buzzer ring if the lift was overloaded?

I guess Darling, SR & Rich want to watch "Memiors of A Geisha", especially after the ladies were so engrossed in the book at MPH during our last meeting. It can be afternoon or nite show, but afternoon is preferred as I would like to avoid the crowd shopping for CNY goodies & clothes. I would like to call the following people.

Pantang- Meaning Things Not To Do In Hokkien

There are certain things which some Chinese are pretty particular with:- Happy and sad events can't clash together within 100 days to a year. If a relative or loved one were to pass away, the immediate family member can't attend a happy event, like wedding & housewarming. The Teochews treat their eldest male grandchild as their youngest son. If you are getting married & your friend who is getting married invites you to his wedding, u are not allowed to attend. The old people say happy events clash. The red packet can't be given twice for a happy event. Likewise for the condolence packet. One should not give shoes or lamp to a birthday boy or gal, as it is believed that you may bring the person to his deathbed. These are some interesting stuff to share, especially to some blog readers who are not living in a place filled with Chinese.
