state of drama

On the 30th Of June 2005, one night ago, something unforgettable happened. Sid, Qu|kz and I were walking from my place to the 24hr drive-in Mac for supper. We were taking the only route possible to our destination when we were stopped by some psychopath who was on a bicycle at the spot as shown below.



The psychopath who happens to be a tall, skinny chinese man in his 40s was shouting at Qu|kz in malay at first. When he realised that Qu|kz is a chinese, he started hurling hokkien vulgurities at him as well as us. I started telling Sid and Qu|kz to keep walking and ignore him but the psychopath kept pacing up with us. Suddenly for no reason, he got off his bicycle and started using his bicycle chain lock to whack Qu|kz from the back. Though I was really scared, I put up a brave front and warned the psychopath that I would alert the police and I started making the 999 call. As Sid ran to call for help, the psychopath's glance was suddenly transfixed at me making the call and he started attacking me.


My bruises

As soon as he attacked me, I fell into a state of shock and Qu|kz pushed the psychopath to another area, started punching him and eventually got him pinned down. As I was in a state of shock, I couldn't remember much and the next thing I knew, I was in the hospital. I remembered sitting in a wheelchair, telling my mom I couldn't remember anything and my head weighed like a million tonnes. Not long, I saw Victor by my side but I was too traumetized to talk much. When I woke up the next morning, I found Vic by my bedside and he said goodbye before he left for school. Felt really good to have him sleeping in my place for the whole night though I was so unaware of what exactly happened and that he was shivering in the full-blast airconditional living room. To cut the story short, Sid was crying really badly the whole night (I was worst) and Qu|kz has much more injuries than me. His lips are pretty swollen and his chest, head including other areas are bruised badly. I forgot to take pictures of his wounds so sorry! Or maybe you should count yourself lucky not to see them. (:

Three of us went down to Bedok Police Headquarters the following afternoon to make our statement. It was when Qu|kz took the opportunity to tell me every single detail of what happened so that I wouldn't miss out anything due to my little 'amnesia'. From how I was attended to by some paramedic in the ambulance to how Sid tried to flag a cab who eventually stopped but turned down her cries for help by giving 'kiasi' excuse that he was 'On Call' to how we were saved by some police patrol who were during their rounds (Sigh! My 999 call was useless), this incident will always be remembered among the three of us.



Of course, the psychopath has been caught and the police is going to press charges against him later today.

qu|kz: So the next 30th June, the 3 of us will celebrate our "anniversary" together..
Me: Sure, we'll celebrate by taking that memorable road down to mac.
qu|kz: Haha sure. I'll love to see my bloodstains on the roadside.
Me: And every 30th June we'll put a bicycle chain lock on that roadside to commemorate that day.
qu|kz: LOL
