SOME CNY PICTURES! :D
-to enjoy
-for your viewing pleasure!


Yesterday was particularly entertaining. We were off to visit my Aunt in view of CNY celebrations as usual and unexpectedly, there was unneeded drama caused by an event we were totally unprepared for.

A woman was threatening to commit suicide on the 6th level of my Aunt's block near Hougang Mall. I shall not name it for the sake of the victim. We rushed off to join in the fun, taking the stairs down to the 8th level staircase where the happenings were visible for this building was built in such a way that the staircases were suspended in midair. Being the very annoying and curious on-lookers, we sparked off a commotion that followed soon after we ambled down those stairs and started gawking with piercing eyes. The victim's relative who squatted at the corner screamed her head off, shooing us fellow-annoying-'passerbys'. ('none of your business' in a foreign language, i think it was chinese)

We could see the frustration in their eyes when the Civil Defence officers chased us away. We adjourned to the first level to the field where the view was spectecular. Already there was a massive crowd, as though anticipating some circus act. This time, we could actually see the woman sitting on the railing with one leg sticking out of the building. Sooner than soon, both legs were out and the gallant officers grabbed her and pulled her back. The show was over. We took the lift up, and coincidentally, the woman in the lift pressed the button to the 6th floor. She shuddered and looked considerably annoyed at the whole incident as she rushed back home. We were amazed at the sight as we let the lift door open for a moment too long, and the woman clad in yellow was handcuffed and struggling. What a sight. I found out that my grandfather was the one who informed the police. Kudos to him! :D He wanted to go to her rescue but was stopped by another neighbor.

AND my cousins were actually the first to notice her, only they decided to ignore it for fear that the police will dismiss it off as a prank. hahaha mean cute people.
