i got mugged by a crazed junkie!

Some drama’s gonna hit u so fast u dun even know it! Ok, mebbe not so fast cos im giving u every single detail. Oh, but im not exaggerating tho. Yeah. I’m tired of telling the same story to different people so u just have to get it here. This is what happened…….

Right. So Aunty wong [Puili, my flatmate] n I were heading to Daniel’s birthday dinner yesterday. We went to the ATM on union st to get some cash n there was this guy asking the man behind us whether this was the queue n the man was like yeah, but the bad guy didn’t move to the back of the line, so I thought that was a bit odd.

Then we walked to the restaurant n totally did not realise he was following us… yeah. We were both on the phone. We walked up the stairs leading up to Bahn Thai n like I felt someone shove me n I was like my friends wouldn’t hit me so hard right, so I turned around and he grabbed the bag off my arm!

Adrenaline perfused my adrenoceptors and my sympathetic nervous system kicked in right away! So, jumped down the steps n RAN! I don’t know why I didn’t think of tackling him cos he was near enough. Yeah. So I was yelling “STOP THIEF” hahaha, cos I had no idea what else to shout. N u know what? He yelled at me to shut up!!! So I was like FOR REAL! No u didn’t! yeah. And we passed quite a few people and they didn’t even try to stop him! They just continued walking and looking at me like I was crazy ya. So I cornered him in this dark carpark. Yeah. Not so much of a good idea right. He was crouched against the wall beside a car [like I couldn’t see him!] going through my bag! I was like “I found him!” Then he ran at me n threw my bag at my face but I blocked it, with my hand la, not my face. So I got my bag back but he got my money. Duh. N so I walked back to where Aunty wong might have been. N up the road, the police caught him. I was so MAD! I didn’t even notice. Actually, the police dog caught him that crazy bad guy.

The police asked me to go to the station and they picked me up. I got to sit in the police van! 1^st time ever! Whoot whoot! Yeah. Then I waited at the station for like an hour. They were very amicable and generous and professional I must say. Bless them. So they kept coming to ask how I was and the nicest policeman was like “we’re having trouble getting him into custody”. I asked why. He said he was fighting em! Hahahaha!!! Who in the world would even dream of taking on the police! Several of them! In the station! Wahahaha! Quite an irascible character horh.

So they took my statement and the policeman was so kind really. He offered me gum, kept talking trash about the bad guy but not using even one expletive in front of me, kept asking if I was alright, talked about alsation puppies, talked about the Chinese character on his ring [I gave him the wrong translation. Oops. But I pronounced it right! I could actually read it]. The statement did take a long time though. and he kept trying to make the bad guy sound even worse cos he really hated him. The bad guy had previous convictions of robberies and what nots too, so his butt’s gonna be busted in the courts today. Then I got a ride home in a police car this time. OH YEAH! Chauffered from the station with doors opened every step of the way to my house. Ooh. I saw handcuffs but no guns or batons in sight. N they didn’t have a bobby hat on. Disappointing, no?

Exciting not. Mmm that’s it. Im completely fine. I did shiver for a couple of hours that night but im always cold right, and almost fainted this morning, but other than that, NOTHING! Im kinda glad that it was me and not Aunty wong or some other person like an old lady ya know. And I know that he’ll just get off with a light sentence cos of the justice system here, but at least there’s one less menace on the streets of Aberdeen for a bit. I do fear for my friends’ safety now. So auntie rite. N im so SORRY for missing Daniel’s birthday. N thank ya’ll for coming over to see how I was doing.

Im just so grateful that the Lord has been with me the whole time and kept me safe and sound. When the police and I went back to the carpark, I realised that there were so many places that I could’ve tripped or twisted my precious ankles [to not be able to play rugby would be most distressing leh] and how dangerous the situation was. The police were checking out the cctv footage and they were like “where’s she gone! Where’s she gone!” when I ran into the carpark. Haha. Yeah. His providence is astounding and my faith is bound even more tangibly as a result of what happened.

“Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.” ~Luke 12:6

“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:” ~Matthew 6:14

“I will love thee, O LORD, my strength. The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised…” ~Psalm 18:1-3

aiyoh... im so lorh sorh. forgive me for getting so excited cos my life is quite lacking in any drama. n im very surprised u read all the way here.
