Menara TM had a fire drill today, and with great fortune on our side, my office is so fatalistically positioned on the 49th and 48th floor (the highest office block out of the 55 floors). 50 floors, approximately 1250 stairs steps and 28 freaking minutes later my legs couldn’t stop wobbling.
To put things in perspective, the time it took to walk down was the equivalent to watching one episode of Friends, with an extra 5 minute commercial thrown in there for ya.
You know, it’s so comforting to know that in the event of a catastrophe, there are only two outcomes: (1) that you’ll probably be the last to reach the bottom, resulting in the entire building crumbling on you or (2) the possible of you reaching the bottom faster than anybody else from the 49th, the express way, flat and splattered. Both of which is a consequence of you not ever living again.
But I’ll choose the latter; because at the very least you get an enjoyable free fall trip down with the hope that somehow you miraculous begin to fly or someone or some thing breaks your fall, enough for you to live a paralytic life. You dream big when you’re about to unintentionally die.
I know, I know I can’t be comparing it to the likes of KLCC and the KL tower, I seriously feel for you people working there now… but it sure sucks more to be you heh.
