Complexity meets simplicity..
sometimes i wonder when will he ever grow up? many a times, it seemed as if he has changed for the better but ultimately he returns to his old self. sigh. 6 weeks isnt that long afterall. i just pray that after it all he will be more sensible.
mummy received a startling call this morning. initially there was a boy crying over the line, saying he's going to die and asking mummy to save him.according to mummy, he sounded like my brother and for a split second, my mother thought it was really him. then some mainlander took over the line and claimed that my brother is in his hands. apparently he has kidnapped my brother and demanded a ransom. he asked my mother how much she is willing to fork out and for a moment, my mother panicked and said she will discuss with papa. thank God my sister was at home and took over the phone. they then threatened to make my brother crippled if we do not give them $25,000. what a joke those people are. how can my brother be in their hands? apparently they chose the wrong time to call. afterwhich my sister feigned ignorance and said she will have to contact my father. the conversation ended there as the kidnapper shouted at my sister to put down the phone. immediately my sister called the police. about 20 minutes later, 1 of the alleged kidnappers called back and questioned whether we still want our brother. he was angry we had cut his line and my sister told him it's his accomplice told her to. duhz.. how disorganized can they get? in any case, i hope the police can get to the bottom of this hoax. apparently, there've been quite a few cases today alone. random calls from overseas.
increasingly i am becoming a major fusspot. i do admit i'm a natural worrywart. too sensitive i suppose and i tend to let my thoughts wander to the negative extreme - imagining the worst of everything. on the bright side, it makes me less vulnerable and take for granted the security we enjoy now, though all those thoughts almost always drive me crazy. and it is not helping that we seem to be experiencing quite a number of misfortunes of late. spiritual attack perhaps? thank God my family is safe and protected. i can foresee my breakthrough coming soon. ^.*
