Drama of the nite

Was doing my Geotech lab when I heard screams. I tot the screams came from the ITE opp (see map below, haha) my place when I heard my mother saying sth in the kitchen. So I went over the kitchen to take a look.



Turns out that on the 12th floor of Blk 55, on the circled corner of the picture (I stay on 15th floor of Blk 56) there was this old man locking the door, another man pulling a woman who was screaming. Few moments later I saw a guy on the 11th floor of Blk 55 walked back into his living room from the window, took the phone, came back to the window again, think he called the police. Meanwhile the lady was still screaming and she was holding onto the railings in front of her house while the man was still pulling her.

1 min later, the neighbour came out from the house to see wat is happening and stopped the man from pulling the woman. The woman continued screaming in Mandarin, begging ppl to call for the police and saying sth like her husband told her he's gonna throw her down the building. More neighbours came ard and the woman was screaming sth like askin the neighbour beside her not to touch her.

5 min later, fire engines arrived, followed by the police and ambulance. Even when the firemen came, the woman was still screaming, saying she wants the police. My mother was so Kpo that she went downstairs to count how many fire engines were summoned. In the end the woman was escorted by 3 policewomen while the remaining policeman asked the husband what happened.

End of drama. But later on my mother came back and she told us she saw our neighbour downstairs who noes the old-man-locking-door. My neighbour told her that the husband suspect the woman of being under black magic and wanted to bring her to see a medium, where all the drama starts...

10 policewomen/men, 6 fire fighters, 3 fire engines... these are the ones that I saw & noe of (the fire engines were wat my mother told me). I wonder if those who helped by calling 999 or 995 were fined since it wasn't a v serious case. But well, I think some ppl tot that the woman was trying to commit suicide.

Conclusions of the drama: Singaporeans are not that selfish afterall, by lookin @ the number of neighbours who tried to help & by the number of police/fire engines/ambulances summoned (which means more than 1 person called lah...). Another conclusion is, I probably got the Kpo genes from my mother.
