「 EnjoyzZ 11:46 PM 」


Hello to all my friends and beloved ones, I hope that you will spend a couple of minutes to read this. Don’t worry, this is neither a chain letter nor something simple, but an article about what happened to me on Friday, 28th April 2006 morning. My life was at risk as I nearly got killed.

Everything started this way: It was a Friday morning and my friend Jian Lun who usually fetches me to college was having his holiday on that day, therefore he was not able to fetch me to college and I had to find my own transport. So I asked my classmate, Wilson, to do me a big favour by sending me to college and back home from college because he will be passing by Bandar Utama from Kepong to reach Subang Jaya. And yeah I live in Bandar Utama and my friend Wilson is from Kepong. My friend Wilson was very kind and he agreed to help me by sending me to college and back home after college.

My friend Wilson told me to wait for him at the One Utama old wing taxi stand because he doesn’t know the way to my house and I didn’t want to trouble him to look for my house. I walked to the taxi stand from my house because One Utama is just nearby my house. He told me to wait for him at the taxi stand by 6:45am. I was punctual and reached there at 6:45am sharp. When I reached the taxi stand, the place was empty and no one else was around.

Suddenly, 4 Malay men came with 2 motorcycles at a high speed. They stopped beside me and 3 of them ran towards me. I was stunned for a moment. These 3 thieves came over and tried to snatch my sling-bag away from me. I was afraid, and my natural reaction was to not let them take my stuff. I asked them not to take my stuff but they didn’t bother and kept on saying “Lepaskan Tangan!!” which meant to let go of my hands. I struggled with them, and at the same time they were pulling my bag. They started punching and hitting me on my head and hands. I felt no pain when they were hitting me because I was nervous. They were pulling my bag from me while hitting and punching me. At the same time I was pulling my bag and using my left hand to block one of them. 3 people were attacking me at the same time and I recall that 1 person was waiting on his motorcycle. When they were hitting me, I screamed out loud and called for help.

Then suddenly one of the thieves withdrew a knife about 20cm. I wasn’t afraid when I saw the knife. The thief used the side of the knife to hit me but didn’t slash or stab me. Thank God he didn’t slash or stab me, maybe he didn’t have the intention to kill me or hurt me. When I was struggling with the 3 thieves, I was pulling my bag away from them and kept on moving backwards step by step. We were struggling from 1 side of the road where they started attacking me to the road divider. Thank God I had the strength to move them by pulling them because they were holding my bag. Fortunately the watch I was wearing on my left hand managed to block the knife as it struck. However, I still had a few cuts on my arm from the knife. After struggling for about half a minute, my sling bag tore and one the thieves only managed to get the strap while I was still holding on to my bag.
At the same time a car stopped by to find out what was happening. When that passer-by in the car stopped his car, the thieves ran away quickly. I was so scared, nervous and astonished at the same time. When the thieves had gone, I realized that my both hands had some scratches and cuts and it was bleeding. I didn’t feel any pain at first, because I was still dumbfounded after that sudden attack. The passer-by asked me if I was badly injured then I showed him my hands which were injured and bleeding.

A short while later my friend Wilson reached and I thanked the passer-by and quickly ran into my friend’s car. After that I went to look for my mother. After telling my mother about what happened, I went to college. When I was at college, I told my classmates and friends about what happened to me and they couldn’t believe it at first. Almost everyone I knew at college asked if I was alright.

From then, I realized that almost all my friends do really care for me a lot. I feel so grateful and touched because I have so many friends who are concerned about me. Now I’m here to express a big THANK YOU to all my friends who cared for me, loved me, and thought about me. I wish to advice all people that they should never walk alone at quiet or isolated places. The safety precaution is to always go anywhere and everywhere with your friends. The world is not safe nowadays. People get stabbed or killed when they’re being robbed. But fortunately I’m still alive. Thank God and Praise God for His mercy =) My words to live by from now on is…”Appreciate and love every single one around you, look around, because you will have no idea when you’ll lose someone or maybe someone will lose you “

Everything which was written above is true as it is based on my true experience. Sorry if it’s not written in good English, but I wrote it with feelings from the heart. Thanks for reading this.
