Damn "drama" at the gym today...... O.o

Was running on one of the treadmills facing the window, with one of the guys at about 8pm+... where the sky has just turned dark. Nothing very exciting. Just the thump-thump of our feet... the news on TV... and iPod blaring Metallica. And all of a sudden, my pal stopped running and bent himself double, as if he was bracing himself on the machine due to some serious cramps. And then I realised he was trying to look out of the window.



Cos on the main road below us were a group of people running in the darkness.... (couldn't hear anything cos my iPod was still plugged in...) and then a mass of bodies colliding. The first thing that occured to me was, oh God there's a streetfight going on just in front of the gym!!! Right in front of the police quarters too!! And then we saw a huge buff dude running down from the gym, still wearing his lifting belt, to join the commotion... and I'm like OMG that's Faidzal going down there!!!! FYI he's the biggest guy in the gym....

But the brawling stopped before Faidzal reached them, and the gang of men marched off........



O.o What just happened down there??

This did: An Indian woman was at the newly opened Speedmart next to the gym paying for her groceries... and some guy snatched her bag, right at the counter!! Very, VERY unfortunately for the thief, he picked the wrong day and the wrong time to pull something like that...............


The Muay Thai boys were sitting at the mamak chilling out.

AND they gave chase. 5 or 6 of them. One on a motorcycle. They chased the thief a little distance right down to the nasi lemak kukus stall in front of the police quarters (which is what I saw from the window) and caught him there. I mean, heck, try outrunning a pack of superfast fighters!! And they beat the effing shit out of him. Then he was escorted off to the police station.

Pretty sad for the bloke, ain't it? Of all people who could've caught and beaten him up.... Ain't he at least a lil lucky Faidzal didn't get to add to the carnage...........


Well...... here's a reminder to all, to be extra careful especially with the economic downturn and crime rates on the rise. Even more so when these things CAN happen so close to home, and these people are as daring as to snatch a bag or rob you inside a convenience store itself.
Stay safe, everyone.
