almost suicide!!!

Oh my gosh manz, you guys know what happened just now!!! There's this woman sitting on the ledge just outside the main door of my house!!!
She wanted to jump down manz!
My goodness...

At first we heard shoutings, and we thought it's just some people having an argument, then later it got louder and louder! i was in my room, and my er jie came and told that those people are actually just outside our door...and i went to take a look, and there she is on the LEDGE!!!

Then i went to tell my da jie, she too came out too take a look, we concluded that she is gonna like jump anytime and decided to call the police, at first we were like searching for the number to the police station just next to my home, but within like less than 10 seconds we just decided to call 999.

I called, and the person who answered sounded real sleepy at first...the conversation was as follow:

"hello"

"hello 999 right, i tell you huh, i'm calling from jurong west, and there's someone sitting outside my door ok, on the LEDGE, and i think she's gonna commit suicide--"

"ok ok which block"

"st xx block xxx #XX-XXX"

"ok ok, izzit facing the kitchen or the--"

"IT'S JUST OUTSIDE MY DOOR, you all better hurry come"

"ok OK, what your name m'am?"

"Janis"

"ok ok"

Then after 10 minutes or so...we saw a fire engine turning into our neighbourhood!! it was quite shocking cause we were expecting police cars...then after that ambulance came and police cars!!! I must say, they were damn pro and fast, first thing they did, they set up the cushion downstairs, then some people came out to try and persuade the 'jumper' but she just got so aggitated, she then squat on the ledge...no more sitting! Then she was like threatening to jump.

She was speaking in tamil, so i couldn't catch what she was screaming about the whole time, but at some points she spoke some english, what i heard...vulgarities! Then after say half an hour my mum woke up, and then later we were quite irritated by her, all the shouting and oh ya! she just took my neighbour's flower pots and throw them anywhere she like! lucky our flower pots are heavier...

Then soon after, we heard movements, sounds of dragging coming from the ceiling, and we suspect those police men are gonna like push her back in from above...and true enough they did...it must have been very cool, cause we didn't get to see it...we couldn't open our door, but we heard our fellow neighbours clapping and cheering...

When we opened our door, we saw NETS! so cool manz, and there were so many people!!! i saw the hero too! the guy who saved the 'jumper'! police men too! then suddenly our neighbour...who lives directly opposite (cause it's only us 2 families on the top floor). My mum was like "eh ni ye zai jia ah" (you're at home too?) haha it's quite funny, like throughout the whole thing we were so silent then after the whole thing everyone like appear HAHAA...then he even told me mum that we should share and build some bars to prevent such cases again!! damn funny...

We wanted to take pictures with the police men, but they seem super busy! then they ask us "everything ok?" hahaha....then my mum went and like told them " ni men hai man li hai de" (you guys are not bad) then they just laughed, then my mum asked them to help put the flower pots back !!! HAHAHAHA...

Later the family of the jumper came to apologise, and then they asked if we needed help in cleaning up, and thanked us for calling the police...then my mum asked them to go back and help their sister!!! HAHAHA

I wonder if i will get a medal for calling the police? haha jk jk, i just hope nothing like this will ever happen again...gotta buy some pomelo leaves and like swipe away those rotten luck...

The whole incident took place from about 1.30 am to 2.40 am HAHA...
