"help me! help me!"

Had 6 games of pool with 3 other colleagues at Clementi after work last evening. I paired up wif RAD throughout and we won all the games!!That's why I love to pair up with him...haha...he always win!

During dinner, one of them told me that he thought I was a Malay at first...but when I spoke Mandarin...he got "disappointed"...I dunno what he meant by that..but which part of me looks like a Malay?

Well anyway as I reached my flat, I heard some shouts and it grew louder...So I popped out to find out what's happening...I couldn't find the source..but I saw onlookers from my opposite block shouting "Stop it!!" as they looked towards the storeys above me.

Before I decide to give up being a KPO...I heard a gal yelling," Help me Help me..please call the police!" in Mandarin. I thought I should do something so I went on tracing the voice...
It came from the 12th storey. Many residents were already there handling the situation ...they are mostly guys and one of them asked me to persuade this petite, young-looking lady who has been grasping on to the railings tightly. She did not appear as if she was attempting suicide because her feet were on the ground.
People told me that she's a little mentally unstable and wanted to jump off. So I was asked to hold her.
She resisted and continued shouting for help, creating a scene in the whole neighbourhood.
She didn't want to hear me speak and no one is allowed to touch her...
And she wants us to call the police, claiming that she'll only speak to the police.

Not longer after, the SCDF came, followed by the police , ambulance and fire engine....
I was quite surprised and amused because the situation doesn't seemed to be that serious.

Geez...i just realised that the SCDF guys were quite cute!*grin* They were tall, strong and suave in their coveralls and helmets...So as I was admiring their serious-looking faces and their gestures, this huge, round female colleague of theirs has to intervene...she got us to clear the place and I lost the sight of my civil dudes ;( ... I could still hear their conversation though...The lady did not want to talk to them either..only to the police, she claimed... The police came and she was questioned...she sounded perfectly normal as she described the scenario. She had a heated arguement with her husband, who was at the scene, and he allegedly wanted to throw her off the block. She sounded very convincing and I believed her.

Seeing everything in control, i made my way home and realised that my parents were so immersed into the tv program and were oblivious of what was happening 7 storeys above...
