Lawatan ke tapak pembinaan

After another day of working late, I went to fetch my friend home. Now you see my friend works at this temporary office at a construction site, so usually if I pick her up at night I'll give her a call when I'm almost reaching the office, instead of having her wait for me outside at a specific time, coz its dark and all and shes afraid to wait there. So anyway......

7.30 p.m.
Me: So I'll be leaving at 8.30...will reach your place around 8.50
Lady: Just give me a call when you are here ok?
Me: Okok....

8.50 p.m.
Me: *press press press on handphone
Hp: Call failed
Me: *Press press again
Hp: Call failed
Me: Huh? Tries to dial another number to test the network
Hp: Call failed
Me: *Restarts hp
Hp: Emergency calls only
Me: Oh crap !

9.00 p.m.
After fiddling with my handphone, I came to the conclusion the network was down. Looks like no one is coming out either..... So basically I had 3 choices

Choice 1: Wait in the car until my friend comes out
Choice 2: Go into the construction site and into her office to call her
Choice 3: Go home and leave her there

Therefore I went home......NOT. Well in the end I went into the construction site, even though it was night there were bulldozers and what not going around. I was wondering who should I ask regarding the location of the office, then I saw this guy with a safety helmet standing at the top of some stairs. So I went up to him. He was looking at me with the " what are you doing here" kinda stance, I was wondering if he was some foreign worker and I should speak to him in Malay, but in the end I asked him, "Do you know (insert my friend's name) ?" Then it appeared he did, and he was not a foreign worker after all, so he led me to their office,which actually was the carpark of the building being constructed, furnished as a temp office.... where my friend was most surprised to see me. Anyway on the way back to the car....

Me: I thought your friend was some indonesian worker at 1st
Lady: Oh...that was the bosses son, hes kinda tanned eh?
Me: oh..hehe.....
Lady: So, the construction site is scary at night eh?
Me: Yea kinda, I was thinking of waiting in the car until you came out actually, but I was worried you would be too busy to notice the time
Lady: Yea, you made the right choice, I would have stay there until you called me
Me: -_-

Thus ended the tour to the construction site. The cellphone network only recovered at around 9.20p.m......
