Lift ride

Last sunday(5th Dec) was a memorable day for me cos it was the day that Adelle and Danelle went on a lift ride on their own without us!!!

The incident goes like this. Adelle and Danelle took an early nap on sunday cos they knew we are going to the Hi5 show at 4pm. So at 3pm, we were suppose to leave the house and head for the Hi5 shows @ Marina SQ. I was locking the door while the maid was opening up the stroller and Danelle was around the stroller area. But after i lock the door, i didn't see Danelle anymore. So i called "Mei Mei?" but no response. Then i called "Adelle?" but also no response and the next i knew, they must have took the lift on their own!!! :(

I told my maid to stay at our floor level while i go down to level 1 to look for them. When i reached ground floor, i didn't see both of them so i went to the playground to look for them but also didn't see them there. Then i asked those uncles sitting at the void deck if they have seen 2 small kids but nope too.... I was frantically trying to think where they could have landed themselves on which floor. So i decided to climb up each floor to try my luck. When i reached level 4, i run out of breadth and decided to take lift. I noticed that one of the lift stop at level 13 so i head to level 13 but no luck! Then I continue to go up to my floor to try and bingo, the gals are with the maid! :)

My maid told me that after i went down, she pressed the lift and the lift came up from level 13. When the lift door open, Adelle was holding Danelle hand and Danelle ran out of the lift when she saw the maid. I was told that the gals didn't cry and when i saw them, i felt so relieved and proud of Adelle who took care of her mei mei in the lift. :) But of cos, i scolded Adelle for not waiting for us and left on her own. Have reminded her that she cannot take lift on her own next time and she nodded her head.

The next day, i told my colleagues about this incident and they told me that the lift will usually hang around on level 13 if no one is taking the lift and of cos that only applies for flats that are 25 storey high. Hmm... i went back home and tried. It really went to level 13. Now i know the trick! :)
