Life in a high rise apartment

My new place is about 80% ready. It's on schedule but I am feeling rather uneasy now. There is something that is making me kinda nervous. I guess this feeling comes about coz I've never lived in a high rise apartment in my entire life. My new place is on the 17th floor. It's a 31 storey apartment. That's a pretty high rise apartment I reckon.

You see, I've been living in a house all my life except for about a year when I was studying in KL. But then again, I stayed in the ground floor of a relatively low apartment, only 5 stories high to be exact.

For a first, parking my car and getting into an apartment is something I need to get used to. I will have to park in the specified parking lot, then walk to the lift lobby and take the lift to my floor then walk some more to my unit. Presently, I simply park my car in front of the house and just needed to skip a couple of steps to get into the house. I am already starting to think of the inconvenience I will soon face after getting grocery from Tesco by the trolley load!

That is just one of the many inconveniences I have to get used to. Others include waiting for the lifts, living very close to other dwellers, sharing the same facilities like pool, gym...etc etc etc. I don't like to wait for the lift. What happens if I get a serious tummy upset all of a sudden inside the lift? Damn... that's the way of life of modern living.
