lift's life.

Remember in my previous post, I said that the common lifespan of a handphone is 2years? Well, right now i might have to extend my claim: The lifespan of electronics is around 5 years.

Nope, nothing is wrong with my phone, but it is for the elevator in my flat. Just nice to mark the 5th anniversary of shifting into the new town.

Previously, the "down" button of one of them here first gave up. So what happens is that whenever we pressed it, nothing happens. And we are not aware of it, until the realisation that no lifts are coming (which evolves, into accusation of each other:- "oei, why forget to press huhh??") ...It was until the button was found faulty then the innocent was proven not guilty.


Then, recently, the door of another lift here refuses to close.

Ok, you may think now, "Just walk out and use another lift la." Easy, but the problem is, the system refuses to send another lift to the floor, 'cos there's already one here!

So, that is, you are stuck with this one. It was only after some knocking and pushing (manually of cos) then the door decided to get back to work...and close.

For the first time, you would start to choose which of the 3 lift to take (when all is available at 1st floor)....


When your handphone spoils, you simply get it replaced at your friendly Hello! shop near you.
When your elevator spoils, it's not that simple anymore. Gulp.

Now i hope my claim is false.

If it decides to be true, then i hope i'm not inside the lift when it decides to stop work!
