Fire drills
I love it in school when it disrupts a test
-
my sec school at stevens road, had a b@mb hoax once...
i was so happy...cos I always fail English test...and it happened just when the test papers are distributed....cannot start writing, must run...
seeing the b@mb squad going thru the boys' toilet...so exciting...

Unfortunately, it was during our founders day. Someone vandalised the whole wall outside our school, I think defaced the logo and there was a bomb scare.
We all had to sit out at the sports complex almost the whole morning.
After that, go home..
-
That many bomb scares
-
fire drills.... no matter how predictable, are effective in "conditioning" people on what to do and where to go...
I used to wonder about the effectiveness of pre-announced fire drills too... until one day there was a real fire and its amazing how fast those people affected evacuated... and in an orderly manner too!! -
well at least you have sports complex with shelter..
we were standing by the main road, finding trees for shelter, thirsty and sweaty... but it was "fun" then...we were young....can tahan...

This is like the idiot I saw the last time who snatch the seat from a pregnant woman man -
larry king live tonight quite interesting
while anderson cooper is STILL missing! =( -
sometimes it's quite tempting.
to go up to the person and 'wake' him/her up and give up the seat
but too bad i dont have the guts -
maybe cos i not preggy so can snatch?Originally posted by elindra:Wah piang

last time, before the 9-11 thing, where fire drills were not taken seriously at all, and we were at the 9th floor, the usual MO for us guys would be "we have evacuated to the kopitiam"
but now, everyone is supposed to take things very seriously.. and we do...
remember the tremors? it was fun when we evacuated the building without being prompted... in an orderly manner too!
my friend in the 9th floor felt the tremors, stuck his head out of his room and shouted at his staff, "earthquake!! run for it!!" and his whole section took off..
on the way down, he called my mobile and told me to run for it too.. i told just announced to the office "tremors!! 9th floor evacuating!!" and we all took off
thing is, the senior management didn't want anyone to evacuate but no one cared and went off anyway -
i've made a mistake in my efiling... forgot to attach the arguments, and now it's past the deadline... i'm doomed
-
thought can change one?Originally posted by tare:i've made a mistake in my efiling... forgot to attach the arguments, and now it's past the deadline... i'm doomed

The thing about senior management is that they want you to evacuate immediately during a fire drill and not do anything when a potential crisis is at handOriginally posted by the Bear:thing is, the senior management didn't want anyone to evacuate but no one cared and went off anyway -
i asked my little boss, he said cannot file a correction to tat, Registry won't accept it de... i'm dead, i'm dead, i'm deadOriginally posted by the Bear:thought can change one?
but i think my lady boss wanna "argue" that we did sent the attachment, blame it on IT...
while my little boss is now in his room, cursing and swearing [not loudly lah] -
in year 1997 or 1998 i think..
my ex-company was situated at the ground floor at Jalan Pemimpin, occupiedk the entire warehouse (with super high ceiling) and make the whole place so cozy (music record company).. can smoke openly somemore...
one fine afternoon, while happily chatting with my ad production guy at my cubicle, pple calling out "FIRE FIRE"....
we supposed to have a fire drill a week beforehand but din happened...so we bor-chap and continue to work (as if nothing is happening)..
my IT lady was frantically backing up server...and my handsome big boss was calling out to us to leave our workplace...
we went "alamak, why so kan-cheong, small matter"..
suddenly we heard our 2nd boss yelling..."haa!!!!!!" ...
Apparently, a black charred body just fell from 2nd floor right and landed just outside his fullview (ceiling to floor) glass panel window, outside the bldg.
I looked out of my cubicle...oh gosh, the entire 2nd floor in full blast fire, and we hardly notice anything.. we ran out...then we realised how serious is the fire...
outside, the road was jammed, the 4 fire engines cannot get in, our building barrier (for the fire engine) jammed and cannot lift up, must break it..
the fire hydrant not properly fixed, water leaking everywhere..
the police cars blocked the way, ...ambulances came... reporters came...
everything in a mess...
then people still slowly strolled out ... many complained that they dun even know the fire was so out of controlled...
....ironic huh...
we checked each other what we brought out..
1. me brought my personal bag and hp (and still chatting on ph with MTV),
my working file and my CD player with advanced CD samplers.
2. big boss brought his important documents.
3. my colleagues brought files out...and hp.
4.. my 2nd boss ran out after seeing the dead body, armed with his Armanis sweater in his hands...
my regional office called my hp and said "ooi, woman, why your office answer the office phone hah? on strike hah????".
I Replied "errh....our office is now on fire.. we are all stucked oustide, looking at our building being burnt only. I dun think anyone wants to stay behind to answer phone calls lor, muahhhahahahaaaa". Then the news spread, every region office pple called my phone to chat with me...
it took 2 hours for them to put out the fire and organise everything....
the we were allowed back to our office (walking pass the 2 covered bodies)..
i heard that the 2 dead person was burnt at the spot above me..
one died instant, the other jumped. .
the ceiling above me dripped BLACK WATER...
I had to use newspapers to cover my cabi and files and an umbrella right over my head to shelter myself for the next 1 week..
after a few months, my boss decide that we MOVED OUT...I am so glad..
Too many haunting accidents liao..
It's a memorable day... -

LF .. that was QUITE an experience! -
I think best is my 1st job at this Ethanol Plant on Jurong Island
1st week at work I got evacuated twice and told to go home coz of gas leakage -
1. before the company moved in, one the bricked walls, just fell...and nearly killed one of the worker.
2. someone died there before.
3. there is a lady ghost in my boss office (my colleague got 3rd eye)..
and I always work late or sunday work alone, and nite falls, it's pitch dark after switching off the lights (going home time)...
When I am alone at the huge warehouse office), I heard sounds (thing drop), music (not from radio) and faint singing voices..and sometimes a lady voice... and i see shadows ...been there for a while ..and i wasnt afraid anymore...
just share the joys with her lor... got company at least.. not so boring on a beautiful sunday, alone at office working still ...like a 24/7 job...Originally posted by elindra:I like ghost stories

if there is a fire at my office, i wager you'd see a lot of people chucking stuff into the fire
i'd save my iPod and my bag.. the rest can burn for all i care..
