Had dinner with Mark, Fyzzah and Namirah at Causeway Point. After dinner, something happened at the first level of the mall. I saw this person looking at something, and when he turns, I thought he was trying to get a closer look at what he was looking at until he actually fell to the ground then I turned to look at him. That man… was having fits. And there I was with my friends, just standing there. We don’t know how to get into action. We were dumbstruck, I guess. And then I wonder, what was the point of having that CPR cert? The security men of the mall were quick to his help anyway. And people were crowding. It was a scene.
It all happened in front of me. I’ve heard a lot of stories of people getting fits but I had never seen one happening in front of me. I was pretty shaken by the incident. It was rather scary. I wonder what else I will encounter for the rest of my life. Life
is fragile. Anything can happen. A wrong simple move, or a delay in an action, can cause something more devastating. That is why, people should live their life like there is no tomorrow. And that does not mean you should party!
And to think about the cert again, I do realise that it had expired.
Mark told me that RP used to be a forest where monkeys used to inhabit. This means, we destroyed the monkeys’ natural habitat when we built RP. And for once, I felt guilty. Imagine destroying a part of Bukit Timah Nature Reserve to build some institute. Oh my god, it is totally not cool.
And lastly, we’ve found a new place to explore. I hope it could be a getaway from stress. A secret hide-out. A mini Pulau Ubin. We’re going back there.
