it's finally over!! however i do not really feel the kind of post exam exhilaration.. probably i am numbed already. Nevertheless, it's still good to celebrate the end of exams, hence Sly, Ah Jiang, Max and I, the 4 of us decided to go for a 1-day short trip to JB! hee i need a break!!
We thot last wed was a good day to do so since it was a weekday and there shud not be heavy traffic as well as big crowds. well, thot of doin some shoppin there but i end up the only one who came back empty handed. but it was not a wasted trip cos..
(1) i had a haircut.
at Jantzen located at City Square. it was rather cheap, about the same rate u will get from a neighbourhood hair salon too but well, it is Jantzen, so i figured it shud be worthwhile. moreover i seriously need a haircut. the results? erm.. i din really like it a lot but it was okay. Max says he like it.. well maybe i am just not used to it. or it just din turn out to be wat i wanted. i guess it's up to individual to decide den. =)
(2) i had an experience with a robber. (oh gosh.. im serious.)
We were on the way back home, and just alighted from a cab on the opposite side of the road near the Malaysia custom. Max and I were walking a distance behind Ah Jiang and Sly, and after catching up with them, we realised a strange guy talking and walking beside Sly. The guy was sticking his right hand in his back pocket seemingly holding on to something and i felt rather weird. Suddenly they stopped and the two of us, stopped too, feeling puzzled. Within seconds, i felt the immense threat and danger the guy is posing. He finally took out his knife. (lucky it was a small one, not like a parang knife or those used to chop vegetable.. okay but it's bad enuff.) this is freaking the 1st time in my life that i kana or even hear my friends meeting with such incident (nt that i wan too either) and i swear my heartbeat was beating fast. and at the back of my mind, i was still thinking how the hell the guy was daring enuff to approach us when there is 4 guys and him, alone. after that i figured cos there was also 2 gals whom the guys have to protect too. hence, we have no choice but to give him our money. but anyway he is also sway cos the total amt we gave him is nt even more than S$25. we spend all our money oredi, but if we had a lot more i doubt we will give. oh i still had $22 tt time but i gave $2 onli, lucky he nv check. den he tried his luck further and demand for our phones, of cos we din give and kept denying having brought to JB. den he asked for our watches.. this time, the two guys (Max and Sly) really getting pissed and stood firm of not giving and showed fierceness in their tone, hinting the guy not to go overboard or else he will be sorry. the guy still relentlessly asking for our watches, not paying attention to Ah Jiang's actions and seeing this as an oppotunity to escape, Sly quietly asked her to go off. the guy shouted for her back but seeing Sly and Max is going to fight him back any moment if he was to go on further, he let us go and hurridly went off. ohew! it was definitey a close shave. imagine he was holding on to a bigger knife or that he doe snt work alone? i dunno wat will happen..
oh by the way if u r wondering the reason why we did nt run away is cos we are standing amost like a single profile with Ah Jiang in front, followed by Sly, the guy, me and Max. Hence it is difficult to run since he can stick out his knife and stab on any of us, w/o giving us any reaction time. if onli me and Ah Jiang can get away, i guess the guy sure will be beaten up by Sly and Max. Shit! i still feel damn bu shuang, not cos i gave him the few bucks but rather, to let him have his way. ARGH~ damn irritating the more i think the more i am pissed. but oh well, at least we are all safe and sound back to Singapore. i curse the guy to get his retribution!! and this goes to show how unsafe Malaysia is at night!! the people walking past us also din help us, cos they do not want to get involved in this shit but i guess if there's really a lot of pple crowding around, helping, the guy definitely will feel intimidated and will not try anything nasty! sigh*
wat a trip! =( nevertheless we will still go there again la.. but will defintiely be more carful next time and remember to dress down if u were to visit malaysia next time!! not wearing shorts but wear jeans and a plain t shirt in order to blend with the Malaysia crowd cos they do not wear berms or shorts out. Sadly, singaporeans are usually easy targets of those baddies. =(
