Today let's talk about fire drill. Why?? Bcuz I want to. Lol. Anyways, getting on with my story. Today uni had a fire drill. Well, at least I think it was. I was in class earlier, doing some accounting calculations and suddenly, RING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And a lady with weird accent spoke "Please evacuate this building. This is not a drill. Do not use the elevator. Please use the stairs." There was a moment of confoundment. Pin drop silence. Everyone stared at everyone, in disbelief, perhaps waiting for someone to make the first move. Almost simultaneously, everyone started packing. Well of course I did too. The puzzling thing is, although our hands are moving, grabbing and chucking everything we can find into our bags, there was certainly lack of panic in the air. It's as though everyone thought that "Aiyah, just another drill. Let everyone rush down first. Why wanna rebut leh?"
Eventually, we headed towards the field, gigling of course. By the time we reached the "field", OMG la, the sea of human. All the Monashians scattered everywhere under the baking hot sun. Talking about the sun, man, the heat just pierce through your skin. So, we found the shadiest, least "scented" spot and stood there for freaking 30 good for nothing minutes. With the heavy files and books. How convenient ey? We hardly did anything there. Usually, in high school, the teachers will berceramah "Para pelajar, macam inikah kamu berkumpul semasa kecemasan? Kenapa bawa beg keluar sekali?" And yea this goes on and on until the teacher thinks that we're incinerated enough under the hot sun and our skin is as dry and scaley as hers. AND oh this is classic! The really super annoying prefects, buzzing around like nuisance flies in between the queues. Angkat! Jatuh! Angkat! Jatuh! Letak jari dibibir. WTF la!! I don't see the purpose of doing those until today. That didn't happen of course. Or maybe they did. But I just couldn't hear.
After close to 20 minutes, finally, somebody came up in front and spoke with a loud speaker. Frankly, there is no need for loud speaker, cuz all the students at the back can't hear a freaking thing. Curiousity got the better of me and I tried to peep what's the commotion in front. Too bad for me. Visiblity is poor as you know I'm vertically challenged. I can see nothing more than 50m ahead. So I need to weave through crowds and hop and jump once in awhile to get a look see :) After much "sun bathing", they finally had mercy on us and allowed us back into our classes.
By the way, I managed to eaves dropped and heard that there was a fire in building 3. Bulding 3??!! I never knew we had such building in Monash. Lol. Whoever that is who started the fire, if there was a fire in the first place, well you just burned my money. But I like what you did but....wrong timing!! Should have saved this chance and do it during end of May or maybe early June :) You know why. Lol. I owe you one if you do. And you will save lives :) And I should bring my sun block everday from now on. In case of another drill.
Ok enough of my crappy post. I'm running out of ideas to write. Good night. Have a beautiful nightmare.
