It Was A Crazy Week

Last week had been a crazy week for me and my family.
I guess it all started off with an arguement between Little One (LO) & his girl Y (or should I say, ex-gf) last Thursday.

So here was what happened ... ...
LO was busy preparing for the opening of his new office.
As he was busy vacuuming his office, Y called his on his cellphone while she was in her Dad's car, on her way home from work.
And for obvious reasons, LO couldn't hear his phone ringing away and so he didn't pick up the call.
Y got all worked up and directed her Dad to drive her to LO's office to see what he's up to.

When Y arrived at LO's office, she swung open the door and started yelling at him for 'neglecting' & 'ignoring' her.
Y continued yelling while LO stood there silently feeling all confused. That was when Y's Mum called Y's mobile and demanded to speak to LO.
Y's Mum gave LO a good 5 mins or so of tongue-lashing, then Y snatched the phone over and told her Mum: "We can settle this on our own!".
Y hung up the phone and while holding the phone in her right hand, she gave LO a big slap on his left cheek hitting him somewhere between his left ear and cheek! After doing so, she dashed out of the office for like 3 mins, then stormed right back and continued her yelling!

Same as before, while Y was in the middle of her 'lecture', her Dad called. (He drove her to LO's office remember? Apparently, he was still waiting in the car downstairs). Y handed the phone over to LO and this time, Y's Dad threatened LO in Hokkien, "Young man, I'm not a person to be messed with...". Then Y left the scene shortly after her Dad threatened LO.

The drama between LO & Y didn't stop after that night's incident.
Y's Mum called LO again the next morning (last Friday), demanding an apology and said she wants LO to return all the stuffs her daughter has ever given him and she doesn't want to see him again after that.

After that call from Y's Mum, we all thought that's the last we'll hear from Y.
Sadly, on that very night, LO was told by a friend that Y's younger Bro has took his own life earlier that evening.
The young lad was only 18 years old. He was schooling at VJC and a very intelligent kid too. He was supposed to take some special papers for his A Levels this year. But apparently, he was under way too much stress from his school work and couldn't take the pressure any longer.
He ended his life after jumping off the 10th storey from the HDB flat he was staying at. We later understood from Y's Mum that he didn't pass away instantly... he was sent to the hospital's emergency ward, but didn't make it thru. The police later found a will in the school bag he had with him when he jumped. He wrote that he was facing a lot of pressure in school and asked for his parents' forgiveness.

*sigh*... ...
It's scary isn't it . . . . . LIFE.
