I call this event as
Sg. Way Operation THEIF

<>><><><><><><

It was a sunny afternoon or is it rainy morning….?
It doesn’t really matters.

Anyway, one thing is for sure that the day after that day, it is a windy and quiet night, midnight to be more precise.

There was a black guy whose skin is so dark that it made a perfect camouflage for him to move around in a not-so bright neighbourhood.

Quietly he passed by, house by house, suddenly he halt abruptly just right in front of a house. He glanced the house’s surrounding. Its fence is low and there was nothing dangerous enough to threaten this guy to abort their lecherous plan.

Prefect.

This was not his 1st time to do such foul deed in this self-caring, simple-minded and least trustful neighbourhood, and in fact he lost count of it.

He looked left, then right. Feeling safe and self-confident, he waved his hand. Indeed he was not alone, there was another with him. A guy appeared from the moonless shadow hurriedly pace to his side. He too had a natural camouflage just like his partner in crime yet his was slightly lighter.

Again the 1st one glanced around to make sure no one was awake, then, together they moved towards to the short bricked wall, attempting to climb the wall.

The night wind was howling. The trees were waving slowly and calmly.

It was cool.

They laughed. They were laughing quietly. They were half way there.
They had faith that tonight will be another good night.
Then, their guffaw froze. The target house was lit.
Did someone notice their presence? Immediately they turned back, thinking of getting away from here as soon as possible. But they were outnumbered. In front of them stood almost a dozen of middle age men, each armed with thin yet sturdy stick.

They stared those 2 with such enmity. This is not the 1st time these 2 did such act around this neighbourhood. In fact they had broken into this street’s residents for more than 5 times in just a week.

Those 2 trembled with fear.
One of them tried to glanced a way out. And he saw that one of the mob members wore the slippers wrongly, he was wearing a pink girly left shoe, on his right foot.
And some of them were even gasping for air; apparently, they had such a hurry when they got the news about the sighting of some suspicious black guys in the area.

Then, out of no where 2 more shadows appeared from the dark close by and started to run further away from these angry people. Some of the mob members tried to chase them but, how can a more then 50 year old man who likes to smoke and drink beer with his friends while watching football late night catch up a 30 year old guy who had such guts to steal stuff from people?
So yeah, they got away.

At the same time as the left behind two watched their friend got away safely they started to have the urge to flee just like them. Immediately the 2nd one leaped down from the wall and tried to dash away the angry mob. But he was not fast enough, they quickly surrounded him. Without warning, one of his past victims strike the 2nd one down with the stick. With that, most of the mob started to beat the guy merciless while shouting foul and dirty word at him, “Lu pokai punya tiu anjing, kasi kami pukul lu, asyik curi kami punya barang, bukan sekali, banyak-banyak kali, tengok lain kali berani curi lagi tak har! Curi lah, curi la!”

This had opened a chance for the 1st one to run, and thus he ran as fast as he could, with all his might. H e succeeded, leaving his partner bleeding in agony.

Friendships, this is how it is when it comes to saving one’s self.

The man cried desperately for help, “Tolong…tolong…tolong…” as he fell on the ground. But all of his 3 friend had long gone.

One of the mob members tried to stop them, but it was futile for they were filled with uncontrolled RAGE. Neighbours surrounding the house were awakened by the noise; some of them even ran out of their house to watch the whole event unfold in front t of their eyes.

Soon these middle aged men got tired. Many of them stopped, panting.
Somehow that guy, who failed to be a thief, got up and ran with his crippled leg towards the house which he failed to steal. Looking at the pathetic thief’s state, they chose not to chase him instead, slowly pace by pace they cornered him.

The man was cornered, he leaned against the fence, and stare down, after this fence there’s gonna be a long way down for that streets residence are located at the hill top, while behind that streets residence was a much lower housing ground., the man looked back at the mob once more. He gulped his saliva and then hastily climbed the fence. He jumped, followed behind was a loud pound on the ground below. That sounded as if he had a really painful fall.
The mob was shocked. They couldn’t react in time, by the time, some of the mob member arrived that place where the thief fell (by using a long way to get there), he had long gone.

Too bad they did not get his identity card.
Guessed such hate and haste blinded these not so educated men.

Eventually the police came. It was 3.30 a.m.

The angry mob looked at each other.
“Which fool called the POLICE? I thought that we agreed to take matters into out hands. See, now we need to make a report and pass thru many procedures.”
No one speak. Some of them sighed.

The police came and asked. They checked the place by which the whole event occurred. Nothing was found save for the thief blood.

Then, one of the mob started to ask his friends frantically (in hakka), “Yiu yin kon dao ngai ke kah nga mao? Ngai tiu xian hau che da ai zak si cet lao ai si, da lot hoi ngai ke kah nga…”
For translations please highlight the word after this…
Anyone saw my fake teeth? I think just now when I was beating that damn thief, I accidentally dropped it…"


Aftermath…
Many of them started to leave the place and headed back home. They took their stick with them. Many of them pass by another house which located just beside the house which the burglar attempted to break in. Not even once the light of this house was lit.
There was 2 pair of brown eyes staring at them in darkness from that house’s window.

And me?
What part I partake in this major event of my residence area?

Heh, I was one of the bystanders from that house who was awakened by the noise from outside along with my aunt. And we are the one that called the police. ><


Note,
This whole event was reconstructed using reviews, opinions and stories from my neighbours who either witnessed the whole event or just heard it somewhere and my grandma who is very busybody about everything that happened around our house, and finally my imagination to bind them all together.
Thus most of them are Truth, even the slipper and the teeth joke. ><

I tried to make this whole event story-like, since that I have long time no write essays, just trying to regain what I had lost after MUET. ><
SO readers, reviews, please!
