So, one of my friends got back from Malaysia today. I was glad she messaged me. Despite her new number, I knew straight away that it was her and we decided to meet up. Excited I was, I ran along and reached the exit of my flat when I realized that I couldn't get out. I turned the lock knob and I couldn't open the door. The door was jammed and I was locked in. This was 11pm.11:15 pm
I started panicking and I thought of people to call. I had this idea that if I slipped my keys under the door, anyone from outside could use that key to open the door from outside. I thought of NeighbourFB. He's one of my shagbuddies and he lives just downstairs. Unfortunately, I couldn't find his number so I had to call Babylet since he has NFB's number. I called NFB straight away and it was some guy who wasn't him. Babylet gave me the number of another dude with the same name as NFB. I know I should be panicking but I just kept on laughing. Later, I found my planner book where I have NFB's number and I called him but he was at work and working as a bar manager, it was only fair that he couldn't come to my rescue.

You gotta love friends like Boob. I put my facebook status as "Heiny locked himself in" and he messaged going what happened. He asked me how it happened and the chat went like this.
me: I have no idea but I can't turn the knob.
Boob: lol all poofs can turn a knob.
Hmm.. gotta love supportive bestbuddies.

My friend, who was supposed to meet up with me, the one from Malaysia and the one who was homesick, reached my place. It's funny how I was supposed to help her not be homesick and she ended up helping me out. I flipped the key under the door and made her open it. Fail! Just ridiculously funny.

There was no choice left and I called a 24 hour locksmith. While waiting for him, my friend from Malaysia and I chatted over my door. We even put this piece of paper to write on. I had a pen and she didn't so she just creased over the papaer while I wrote down things. So yes my neighbours were having sex and it was loud and she could hear them. Great!!! Oh, have I mentioned my conversation with the locksmith was somewhat hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing. Thank god he didn't think it was a joke.

The locksmith came and god it was hard. He just kept on turning things. I ended up unscrewing the knob as well.

It was all over. Got a new doorknob. It's not a knob anymore. It is a turnkeyhole now. It costed me a bit of fortune but I am just glad I could get outta this or else I'd be absent for my performance today.. in the afternoon...
And my friend... from now on, I'm gonna call her the "Lockgirl".

I hope you kept a receipt of the locksmith, because you can claim it back from your landlord. That type of thing you shouldn't have to pay for. :D
Glad you're no longer locked in. I was wondering what was happening!
