That is the view from my classroom on Thursdays. It was going to rain. Lighting and thunder were rumbling every now and then.

I can even see my old house. The peach one. Or is it pink colour? It's quite obvious. Not those pink roof though.. Sigh. I miss my neighbourhood (except the stupid robbers and snatch thieves! If is not because of all of you, I might still be staying here) I don't know how many times I witness all these snatch thieves and robbers.

Especially that row in my house. People used that road to walk across to Summit, take the bus, and so on. Every single day, you will hear stories about someone got snatched of their handbags and so on on that street.

I still remember there was one night, when my grandpa woke up in the middle of the night to pee. It was his habit to walk to the window and just look outside after he went to the toilet. That night, he saw a tall and skinny man trying to open my dad's car. Grandpa quickly hit the window to ring the alarm in order to frightened that man. But no, he was STILL TRYING his luck to open the damn door. My mum went to the balcony and shouted at him haha the man turnaround and shouted back at my mum. "Tiu nya sing, fan lei ge gao lah." In translation, go back to sleep lah you.

My dad (SUPER BLUR after waking up like this) took his parang and baseball bat and ran out the house to chase him. The man quickly ran away. Dad tried to chase him but he went in to some alley which we stop him because we don't know whether there are more of these motherfuckers hiding in the alley.

There was another incident, where I was standing at the balcony looking outside and my mum and brother was outside standing at the opposite park. A man was walking minding his own business when two motorbike came and just punch that man and start searching in that man's pocket for money. My mum and brother was so afraid they wanted to run back in the house but the motorbikes were there. So I shouted at my mum to run back up the park. I tell you, that was the scariest shit ever watching my mum and brother standing there helplessly. And I shouted "OI" at the motorbike dudes. seriously what's wrong with me. As if I can fight them all. Anyway they rode off and the man picked up his leftover of his takeaway and walk back home. I guess that was my mum's last straw of wanting to stay there.

I've seen all these stupid shits for countless times and I never want it to happen to me, my family, and especially my friends. I remember walking to Summit with my neighbour Kim and her parents and a motorbike dude was robbing a lady's phone. That lady did not want to let go her phone! That motherfucker kept kicking the lady's stomach. Then Kim's dad ran towards her and wanting to help but when the motherfucker saw, he rode off.

We were like living in fear. Don't know when will it be our turn.

So please be careful my dear friends! And go rot in hell you motherfuckers.
