Crash Boom Bang!

I wanted to write about this unexpected ordeal which happened less than three months ago but never really had the time to do it. Anyways, what happened to me was pretty scary plus funny. Hmm, how is that funny and scary?

I was seated quietly at my cubicle when suddenly I heard a soft cracking sound. Upon hearing that sound I looked down at my chair to check it out. There was nothing different so I continued doing my work. Then suddenly I heard a big cracking sound, and before I know it, my chair swayed to the left and the chair base just snapped. It happened so fast that all I can remember was me still seated in the chair but the chair just broke and fell right on the floor. I was caught off guard and that explains why I did not utter a single word or even scream for help. The first person who came to my rescue was this new male colleague of mine. Malu sungguh saya! Thank god when I fell with the chair I was in a very decent manner..kalau I flipped backwards...tak tau la apa nak jadi!:D

My workstation with the new chair



Then all the guys came rushing towards my cubicle. They had worried looks on their faces. They even told me what got them so worried was the possibility that I might have fainted due to my fragile condition since at that point of time I had just lost my mom. But now when they talk about it, they can't stop laughing and they even said,"Wahh..Mr X was really fast when he came to your rescue, apa tunggu lagi, good candidate tu since he is nice, responsible and still single!"......etc

Well, one thing's for sure, I did not faint people, I blame it totally on the “faulty and flimsy" chair! It was definitely too worn out to be used. Muahahaha! By the way, I got my new chair today and before the new chair came, I was using the normal VERY comfy bosses' chair for the three whole month. Well, since they had an extra, I can’t help but use it temporaryla kan.

The faulty chair...all broken! Bye-bye!


I was talking to my sis about it and she said it happened to her once when she first joined an organization..Hahaha!..what a way eh to welcome a new staff! Another story I heard was a guy whose chair gave way during an important meeting. That is scary!

I wonder whether any of you out there experienced anything similar to my crash boom bang episode?

P/S: Selamat berpuasa/Happy fasting to all muslims, this time round, ramadhan will be very challenging without my arwah mama around, like always I will take one day a time.

Hi Nour,

Gosh! Thank God you didn't really hurt yourself which you could! The office should check with the supplier. Sometimes they cut corners, instead of importing the chairs they make it at some Jinjang factory, with some substandard specifications and this could be the outcome.

Anyway, wishing you, 'Selamat Berpuasa'.

Theta said...

Haha! That must be some experience!

I'd be laughing my head off if that were to happen to me!

Ramadan Mubarak to you, Nour :)

Nour said...

Hi Azer,
Thank you. Selamat Berpuasa to you too.

mama rock,
tu la..my boss tanya like 10 times are you ok or not?! Fortunately, masa I fell, I did not hit anything just fell on my butt and kebetulan with the chair still intact.

cosmic_gurl,
tak de org gelak when it happened but after that when they saw I was ok. BaArulah they started to make a joke out of it.My colleague who sat a few cubicles away siap cakap lagi, "you know I ran as fast as I could but still I was the last to arrive..am so sorry"

Selamat Berpuasa!

Hi Ruby,

Yeah I think the chair was poorly manufactured. Infact the quality of the material looks very inferior. Nowadays when I do sit on a chair at the office, I will check the base many times.I am lucky my head didn't hit any sharp edges, it still gives me the chill whenever I am reminded of that scary ordeal. Yikkkesss!

DG,

yikes, car or motorcycle accidents are the worst. Just dont be involved in any of those..seksa!

Hmm, dating blog???Naaaah...me??? No way! I am useless at that.

Nour said...
