After a quite hermitage from our house, I decided to finally get out - update myself with the latest fashion grabs, movie showings and, well, run an errand for my mother of course.
Wearing my red shirt, my comfy pair of jeans and my vintage black postman bag, I was definitely ready to go. So off I went from our house located at the back of a compound-like environment where our curious neighbors were who seemed to not get tired of asking where I would go. The front house of our compound was the busiest house I had seen so far in my lifetime. From as early as 8AM, it was already filled with fragile (a little bit old) neighbors that seemed to get together for a major-ly important mahjong session that would last up till 2 in the morning with a bit manicure and pedicure services of a home salon on the side. But now I am digressing...
Well, back to my story. My first pit stop was to fulfill my errand my mother had specifically told me - drop the advance payment for her some insurance plan, which was exactly in my head. After a five-minute walk from the drop-off point, I got to my destination.
Undergoing the usual inspection from the building's security that involved a stare and glare from head to foot to make sure I was 'fit' to go inside the premises and not to mention the oh-so-bored receptionist to have me ID-ied, I got my way in the elevator. On my way to that company where the ever-so-self-entertained-agent because of that long conversation from a friend 'entertainment type' over the phone gave me her no-reaction welcome.
Nothing special happened during the transaction, really. From the way she entertained me, it looked to me that she was very much devoted to her job - phone-bound, I mean, desk-bound for eight hours and alone, who would have not thought of such diversion! She made me sit on one of the blue chairs and was asked to wait while she was doing her actual job description (finally!). Eleven minutes after, I was out of the office and in a hallway of the building after pressing the 'V' (down) sign of the elevator while turning my discman on. Hearing the cue sound 'ting!' from the elevator, I immediately jumped inside the elevator and 30 seconds after, much to my surprise, it was going up to the top floor and I ended up doing a round-trip elevator ride.
Elevators sometimes give you a headache and a woozy feeling!
