The One of A Kind

My Mom

You know how HDB always have fire drills ard their neighbourhood estate and at times in school rite?

well,

The other day there's fire drill at her workplace. But, my mom was happily listening to music at top volume in her office. As a result? she obviously didnt hear the fire alarm ringing away...

SO. she obviously stayed in the office rite? LOL~!

Then there's this guy who goes around doing spot checks to see whether or not anyone was left behind... He went to my mom's office and rang the door bell. He continously press it... but the only thought that came to my dear mom's mind was...

"who is that buggeR? Later my battery flat then who wanna buy new ones?"

So she went to the door opens it in a very irritated manner... When the guy cut her off before she said anything...

"Ma'am did you hear the bell?"

"wat bell?" she stares at him, silence... hears bell... "Oh.. THAT BELL!" ya i heard it... why?"

"Ma'am we're having a fire drill, you have to report to the officer at the carpark"

"Oh you mean thats how a fire alarm bell sounds like ah? so lousy.. so soft.. i cant hear it from inside..."

"Ma'am you have to go down..."

"Ok ok" Proceeds to off the light, air con, save her work on the comp... lock the various door and the main door...

About 15 minutes later... "Ok. report at Carpark ah?"

"Yes ma'am"

MY dearest mom saunters towards the lift and on instinct presses it... She waited for the lift to come up.... She told me that she waited there close to 15mins also.. and the lift still fails to appear...

Thinking that the lift was spoilt, she grudgingly when down the stairs and met the same guy still checking the offices on the 2nd floor...

she stopped him.. "eh wat happened to the lift ah? spoil issit?"

He looked at her ridiculously and abt to burst into laughter...
"Ma'am, we're having a fire drill... We've switched off the lift"

My mom stared at him.. "OOOppps" and continues making her way down to the car park...

When she reached the carpark, no one was no longer around...

the officer standing there looked at my mom...

"Ma'am are you aware that there's a fire drill just now?"

"No... I didnt hear anything"

"Ma'am in an event of a fire drill, you have to walk briskly towards the reporting area"

My mom gives her most innocent look... "but i didnt hear anything"

"Ma'am how can you not hear anything? at the rate you were going just now, you'd be burnt before reaching anywhere.."

"Your bell is lousy. You should change it... Use a louder one.. like those... eeeooooeeeoooooeeeooo" (she made the air raid siren sound at the officer)

My mom grinned. The officer burst out laughing.

SO she receives those fire safety posters that she has to paste in her office... Her partner came back to the office and she told him everything.. well, obviously it resulted in him pasting the poster on the wall behind her chair...

And when my mom told me all abt it during dinner... she still think that its a stupid thing to do firedrills and a waste of time..

then she was like... "We dont need it at home also wat... Our door just change wat... its fire proof now"

i was speechless.

Sometimes, my mom is just plain bimbotic.
