Locked out!

Michelle and my new boss Daniel is in HK. It is gonna be Aussie boss last day today and we are doing a farewell dinner with her tonight. So Michelle and I went to CWB to buy her a farewell gift (from Prada nonetheless!) and went to have dinner after that. I went home at about 10.30 and when I turned my key in the lock, the muthafucka wouldn't turn! Well it did turn but it wouldn't open! Tried and tried but no luck. Got really annoyed, and went downstairs to ask my security guy to come up and give it a shot as well. No can do! I was locked out of my fuckin house!! Went back downstairs with the security guy and he called the locksmith for me. It would cost me HK$500 for him to come and open it and I needed to wait for 30 min. This was almost 11pm.

The locksmith came at about 11.20 and proceeded to open my door for me and explained in Cantonese that the door doesn't close properly which is why the lock got jammed. (something to that effect, he was speaking in Cantonese and I could only understand very little!) He said he'll fix the 'balance' of the door and the hinges and change it to a better lock but it would cost me a grand total of HK$1,000. I'm like 'Aarrrgh! Fine! Just Do it!' and he started dismantling, unhinging, oiling, creaking, removing, re-installing my lock/hinges just so it would close properly. So now my door is finally okay and I hope I won't get locked out again! ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS MAH! (that's about S$220 fyi)
