How shall I organize these things that had been happening to me today? hahaha.... I didn't know life on 07/08/07 could be this 'HAPPENING!'. Okay, we have to go to the Singapore Art Museum today... with NO transportation PROVIDED! OMG.... So disgusted... So different from secondary school where we were always spoon-fed. So, I got out at around 1245hrs. I reached the bubble tea shop (where I was supposed to meet Ziza at 1300hrs) around 1255hrs. She came late... like around 10 minutes or so... I saw my mum so i went up to her to say hi... then when i came back to the bubble tea shop, there's still no trace of Ziza. I was just abt to msg her when i heard someone calling out my name. Haha... Went to buy bubble tea, and headed to the MRT station. When we were at the platform, i saw some traffic polices and a fire engine at the road below. I wonder what it is about... so, we ignored the situation and waited for the train, with our bubble tea in hand. So rule-breaking! ahha... Design students mah... But i think its more to rule changing. We can't eat or drink but nobody said about eating AND drinking at the same time... I drink slow sia. By the time we reached bedok, ziza finished her drink. I only finish my drink when we reached Dhoby Ghaut! omg. haha. So we went to the art museum together with fidz, shaad, awee and farah. sarah met us at the museum. then took some pics... then after an hr, went to eat at bugis kfc with shaad and ziza and sarah. Went to the costume shop at Haji lane. Saw suhaimi yusof in his car with his wife while jay walking at the back alley, and nina halim when we were at a corner. Had so much fun at the costume shop. haha. I literally punched shaad's nose when he was in the 'berok' mask... haha. hidung dier temting untuk ditumbuk uh... sorry uh shaad! ahhaha... then... we went to lavender MRT to go home.
Tampines MRT Tragedy
We were happily saying our farewell when the train reached tampines. Sarah was like 'Minta maaf dari hujung rambut sampai hujung kaki!'. When she was about to go out, we saw a number of people standing, like in shock, and a train which stopped halfway. We were curious. I think the others in the train were too. We were like so shocked, we were stood to the ground. Then a man with army uniform told us somebody jumped onto the tracks. The P.A system sounded and the passengers were told to alight. So we did just that. I think we were the second batch of passengers to be on the scene. Some people were already crowding on the part of the train where the body was allegedly suppose to be lying. We were like, "eh ape jadi uh??? eh aper jadi uh??? Siape terjun?"... Then a guy named jackson came to us and told us he only heard a loud horn from the train, and a loud cracking sound and a woman screaming. He pointed out the woman who seemed to see the incident, who was a makcik. We went up to her and asked what happened. She said that she saw a school girl jump to the tracks just as the train from pasir ris was in sight. Of course if she jumped, its considered suicide. The trains to pasir ris had been changed to go to boonlay and city hall while people going to pasir ris have to take the bus. We were at the scene for like abt an hour, from there was no CD, till there was the police, CD and paramedics. Like the tv series LIFELINE... haha... So gerek. Then shaad like jakunese take pics of the police barrier. ME, i was taking pics of the scene. Then people started to take out their phones... see... i think fast. I was like, Eh! amik gambar uh! gi hantar kat stomp! (which I did). bangga uh... bangga uh... aper jer. haha. I am so contented that I at least know the story of the tragedy. Quite vague, but still, I don't have to ask a thousand qns on what happened. Many trains came and people were crowding. it was so stuffy that i started sneezing. then we went to the other side of the platform hoping that we could get a better view, and so that its not obvious that we are kaypohs. haha. So, being stuffy and dizzy because of the humidity and all, we decided to go down. We saw alot of people below. In my heart, I was like "yessa! ada lagi view yg best!" so we went to the field and watch the CD remove the body from beneath the tracks. We couldn't get a clear view lar but i think one of the CD sempat amik gambar org kat bawah. haha... kalau jadi gambar tu, senang jer nak spot kite sebab ziza pakai bright yellow! hahaha... Then, when its like 1900hrs, we went to take the shuttle bus home (ambulance ngan fire engine pon da jalan). This time, it was our turn to say "minta ampun dari hujung rambut ke hujung kaki" to sarah cos we can't follow her to the interchange. hahahaha. When i came back home, and ayah was back, I told him what happened. He saw the scene too actually.
His part of the story
Ayah said he was at Outram when he heard that the train journey to Pasir Ris was disrupted and he was quite mad. He can't be bothered to get out and stop at simei, so he acted as if he was asleep and hoped for the best. when he reached tampines, he could see the body (wrapped already) on the stretcher, passed behind him and the medics/CD brought it down the stairs. lucky for him, the train moved on. hahaha.
I asked him, what happened to the body? why the ambulance didn't take it? He said, the ambulance only take in injure ppl, not dead ppl. I was like, oh yeah.. haha... why didn't i think of that? hahaha.... slow sia. No wonder the ambulance didn't on its siren. haha. So, i asked again, what happened to the body? The Aik Tong take lah... "the undertaker" my sister interrupted. Amirah... adik kau lagi cerdik! wake up amirah! wake up! hahaha. No wonder i heard sarah saying something about aik tong. At first i thot it was tong taik or something... hahaha... tomorrow i post the pix k? if god willing.
There we a few memorable parts during the incident. While we were at the platform, we had time to draw 'conclusions'. Maybe the girl jumped because...
Amirah: Stress lah... exams what. maybe 'o' levels...
sarah: no lah the money fall onto the tracks... then she want to take
ziza: Stress uh...
Shaad: (I forgot what he said) haha sorry shaad
Let's just wait for the news tmr.
Next, when we were at the field, a woman ask, what happened... All four of us were so excited, we took so long to tell what happened. dier pon diperbodoh2kan oleh kite. Ziza: becareful u know... (cos she started to rub her arms after hearing our story) now maghrib already...
Lady: Huh? what Margaret? The girl name margaret uh?
Us: Huh? what margaret? hahaha. yayaya... the name margaret chen.... hahaha... no lah... maghrib la... evening in arab! hahaha
Kurang ajar seh kite. Budak mati pon nak make fun... tapi serious uh... fun! hahahahahaha......
