♠ Lift Incident

I was walking home, as usual.

When I reached the lift, I pushed the button as usual.

There was a lady talking on the phone, and when the lift opened, I feel odd how come she didnt go in the lift since she was there earlier than me.

Then I saw there's a guy in the lift.

I pushed the button to my floor. She pushed the button to her floor, still on the phone. Then he pushed the button to his floor, which just coincidently happen to be between mine and the girl.

I didnt feel uneasy, but I know something wasnt right. The lift opened at floor 2. And I knew I need to get out at the same floor as the lady.

So when the lift reached her floor, I stepped out with her.

She was still on the phone. Didnt even get the keys out to her door yet.

I walked to the staircase, which was just beside the lift. There wasnt any door to the stairway.

I waited a while at the staircase, cos his stop was just a floor above.

I waited cos if he lived there, I was being silly.

But then, I saw a quiet feet at the top of the staircase.

I quickly moved and walked casually towards the lady talking on the phone.

The guy who supposedly lived on the floor above the lady; he was exiting thru the staircase quietly as his feet didnt make much sound.

I waited a while, until I knew the coast was clear, I quickly walked up to my floor.

If I ever saw a glimpse of some weird ppl again, I'm calling the cops or the nearest crimewatch center. I've got trigger friendly handphone fingers now.

Sometimes..feeling something isnt quite right, doesnt just involved the heart; but also the mind.

If something doesnt feel right, doesnt seem right; there's always a reason. If cant think of a single logic reason, just drop everything and go. Think about it when safe at home or somewhere else.

And no, this doesnt apply for schooling or whatever that involves studying; cos it usually means one is lazy.

And if one is thinking bout quiting their current job, quiting doesnt mean living off the parents or relatives or friends; cos it usually means one is taking the shortcuts, and life aint got no shortcuts.

The shortest cut I know is working hard and smart. Apply both with vigor and never stop improving, and one will never starve.

What I'm trying to say is..at times, we just got to go with our own instinct.
