08/23/2008: "SCARY! i_i"
mood: Heart-thumping
Omg! So scary! After today's class outing I had separated from my friends and was heading towards Borders to get a lift from my sis. I was walking under the Taka covered walkway (the one near the main entrance which leads to the escalators to the basement) when I noticed the bunch of guys right in front of me talking really loudly and pushing each other around. At first I thought they were a group of friends just horsing around, and was just about to speed up so I could overtake them and avoid getting in their way, but then all of a sudden the guy just in front of me took out a glass bottle and smashed it against another guy's head!
I was so freaked out that I just turned tail and siam-ed. I had run onto the pavement parallel to the walkway when all the guys scattered. Some of the ran onto the pavement as well, and I was so worried that they were going to start fighting again and I'd somehow get dragged into it. Thank god they didn't, though - I think maybe they knew that if they had remained behind to fight some more the police would eventually have come to arrest them.
That was the first time in my life I've ever been so close to a fight! Most ones I've seen before have been further away where I could give them a wide berth, but this time, I think if the guys had just taken a few steps back in my direction they could have stabbed me with a broken bottle or something. My sis, after I mentioned the story to her, told me that her friend had related a story to her where his friend got randomly stabbed by a gang of guys fighting in a kopitiam, even though the victim had been a complete stranger to the brawlers! He even had to be sent to the hospital and everything. Such incredible bad luck. *shivers*
Thankfully that didn't happen to me. I am SO SO glad that I have, as my sis remarked amusedly, very good survival instincts. ^_^;;
