空中飞人 - bunjee jumping....(' ' lll)

this saturday started like any normal day for me...i woke up around 8am, met up with my friend, ah fai...had bfast and shopped around....and after whole day of apartment shopping and shopping, we went to Shatin...wanting to look for more apartment...there is a HUGGGGggeeee shopping mall at Shatin...and we were both happy...havent been shopping for quite sometime and both of our credit cards have been quite quiet lately....when we were happily strolling, suddenly, there were about 5 or 6 ppl dressed in purple jacket shooing ppl away from the lobby....some ppl were being jerked away and unhappy abt the treatment...i sensed that something was gonna happened...was it a show? what was it? they started putting the stops around the centre of the lobby....hey, could someone pls explain? was there a show being planned? nobody explained...just saw the purple ppl rushing abt, getting ready for something...i just saw them and other ppl looking upwards...so i stopped, curious, so i looked upward too...ah fai was nowhere to be seen~~~i stood there, waiting for something exciting to happen...then out of a sudden, i saw a guy, dressed in white falling from the 5th floor....i focused my eyes on him, thinking, wow, wat a stunt......i looked for the rope that should be tied to him, thinking that he must be a stunt man doing a show...but there wasnt any....then i heard a loud BANG when he landed his head down first, then his remaining body on the marble floor...OMG OMG, i just realised that someone just committed suicide right in front of the crowd and i was standing abt 20 feet away!!!! SH*T....i was so shocked...i turned around looking for ah fai...ah fai was as shocked as me....i had goose bump the whole time....i just couldnt believe what i had just witnessed!!!! oh dear, i thought i have seen everything in HK (all the drama in hk that i mentioned before)...but this...thisss....thissss...is out of my expectation and nothing i would wanna see with my own eyes....sigh....

don't you think life is short? especially for ppl who wanted to end it themselves? we thought, something really must have happened to this person...sigh...i couldnt imagine how depressed the friends and relatives of this person are gonna be.....i don't know if he survived the fall or not, i just saw the purple ppl cover him with blinds and plastics...saw police but not sure if ambulance came and rushed him to the hospital...i will know tomorrow...i hope this guy survived...whatever the reasons he chose to do it, i hope he could face it bravely...as brave as when he decided to jump of the floors...........both ah fai and i couldnt get the image of our minds...most of the ppl were traumatised...i was just standing less than 20 feet away :(
