An incident in the lift

Yes, this is exactly what this might sound like.

I was but a moment ago a prisoner inside my own lift. Hmm, right on the floor where I am staying with my aunt the lift stopped, but wouldn't let me out!

My pulse racing, I proceded to try every button on the panel that I can press, tried finding a hatch door somewhere on the ceiling, and also tried plying the door open with my handy crowbar...

Eh, ok, I didn't have a crowbar, and I didn't pressed all the buttons, but I was stuck just a moment ago prior to writing this post. But thankfully the kindly security lady from downstairs phoned up and asked me how I was, and promised a swift extraction as the masters of the lift's arrival was imminent. Ok, they were just ordinary maintenance crew persons, but they got me out from the maw of that horrible monster of a lift alive and well to still be able to put all this down on paper (soft-copy?).

Anyways, just another day in HKSAR...
