Yesterday (Fri) was the most frightening day of my life.... Everything was normal in the day, i went to referee as usual and went home straight. Fri was a special day for me, so i had arranged to meet my friend, to pass her some gifts. But everything changed...

While i was leaving the house around 3.30pm, i saw my neighbour who had mental problems standing at the corridor, he held a short kitchen knife and run straight at me without saying anything.I was shocked, my first reaction was to run back into the house, his face was really fierce plus the knife he was holding was pointing at me all the time. I tired talking to him, asking him "Uncle, what are you trying to do" & "Don't like that" I was really scare at that time, scared that i might be killed or be stabbed by him. I quickly ran inside my house, trying to close the gate but he already reached my doorsteps and held onto the gates. I move backwards quickly and ran into the master bedroom where my mum was. And together, we closed the door together and called for the police. At that time, he was still outside of the room hiding, waiting for us to come out but we never. Then suddenly, he started kicking onto the door and slammed our telephone onto the ground. All my mum and i could do was to listen for any noises, so we could not see what things he had done outside of the room. Not long after, we heard some shouting at the staircase, and heard 2 gunshots. We saw some police cars at the carpark, so i decided to check the situation. Luckily, he was not in the house anymore as i checked every corner of the house. I saw some policemen standing outside at the corridor so i assume everything was calm, so i went out and check out what happened. I saw about 10 policemen at the staircase and went back to my house to check if anything was missing. But i was in shock and very scared, so i called one friend and to inform about what happened. But i guess my friend was busy, as sounded quite restless. So i just hung up after i called. I was really frightened, scared that i will die... I thank God for blessing me for my safety.

At this moment, i got alot of thoughts in my mind. When you are around with your family, friends, buddies, girlfriends/boyfriends, please expressed your love for them, as you can never predict what will happen next. Always treasure the things you have, as once you lose it, you can never get it back. So friends out there, cherish every moment with your loved ones. I have been there, i was nearly killed. Half my soul has gone, now i will be in search of a brand new me, this is my turning point in life....
