tragedy after tragedy
amidst the stress that i have been experiencing so far, i have kinda kept up with the local news. one word to summarise – tragic.
i feel sad for the widow who lost her husband to a cigarette. i feel sad for the mother who lost her two kids in an evening (thanks to her estranged husband) in ang mo kio.
you must have read about the first one. like smebody said (i tink is bour), her status changed thrice in a single night. single to married to widowed. read the 晚報 (this kind of gossip, u must read the tabloids, in fact all kind of news to get the juice out of it). my initial thoughts was this guy committed suicide (never thought of the reason though….). turned out that it happened the most tragic way that one could imagined.
According to 晚報, he went for a ciggie while his wife was in the shower and got stuck in the stairway. Hilton has a very good security system it seems. Cause he could not open the door from his side all the way from 10th to 1st floor. The cameras caught him. Then somehow, he managed to climb out onto the ledge at 3rd floor. Thereafter, you guys know the story. Sob story no. 1
Here come Sob story no. 2, also thanks to 晚報.
this man, 39 year old killed his two children, 5 and 3 years respectively, before he jumped down infront of everybody in the late evening yesterday. his wife quarrelled with him and went out, leaving the two kids at home. in his moment of anger, he killed both of them (details i din read), and set the house on fire. then in front of the neighbours who were watching downstairs (by this time, i guess all the kpos would have gathered ard), he jumped down.
His wife, despite not being on very good terms with her husband, is pregnant. She could not stand properly and kept crying when she was at the mortuary today.
I feel sorry for the kids for having such a father. They were the most innocent victims. I feel fortunate to be in a place where there is no such nonsense. I am thankful.
Oh, my Fb frens, you would noticed that i had a dream today….. it was very real until i woke up, cuz it was 1130 am. but i would the dream would continue or realise.
