Listening to: Erasure - Don't Say You Love Me
Reporter's instinct: see something, just shoot it!
We were at Kinokuniya on Monday afternoon 'cos my sis had asked me to get a novel for her... when the most extraordinary real-life drama occurred.
I could not remember who the author was, so we were just browsing around the General Fiction area. Suddenly, our attention was drawn towards two men in their 20s, who at first seemed to be wrestling playfully with each other.
But it wasn't for fun! One of the guys (quite small-sized but looks like he could kick some serious a**) slammed the other one (bespectacled, skinny, mousy-looking) onto the floor! The sound of human bones and motorcycle helmets hitting the floor shocked everyone, and the normally busy store fell into a hush.
Sharon tugged at my sleeve. "I'm scared," she whispered, "but I also want to see what's happening!"
Tsk tsk.
Small guy said to noone in particular: "Get his handphone! Get his handphone!" Two other men tried to pin mousy guy down but boy was he feisty! He managed to squirm out of the scrum and bolted... but by this time the Kino security
uncles guards had arrived and they managed to subdue mousy guy, who by now had been roughed up, slammed against books, tables and shelves, and generally been severely humiliated.
At this point, the security personnel said to the gathered crowd (at least 50 people): "Err, just carry on shopping guys..."
Hahaha, right.
We never found out what was mousy guy's misdemeanour though. What had the handphone have to do with it? Were any of you at Kino (Ngee Ann City store) on Saturday afternoon at about 4.30pm?
