Skinny Muggies in Basements…
Monday, November 19th, 2007Its a strange thing to happen especially when it happens in a place like 1Utama. More specifically in 1Utama Level 2 basement parking. It was about 11.15pm and I just had a particularly good, no wait, really really good session in the gym. I was happy and in a good mood all-be-it slightly tired. Well, while I was walking back to the car I had this tingling sensation that I was being watched. I didn’t see anybody so I went to my car and got ready to open it. Thats when the funny thing happened. I got ‘jumped’ from behind! Somebody was trying to steal my gym bag! Luckily the bag was slung across my shoulders otherwise it would have been long gone (I mean who wants to steal smelly socks, a damp towel, sweat soaked cloths and undies,and worn out gym gloves??) I was practically in a tug of war with my muggers, thats when I saw how they looked like. Oh, I so wanted to laugh out loud! There were two of them, skinny as twigs (I mean really), one as tall as I was, the other probably half a head taller, and I think we showed quite a spectacle if anybody was fortunate to see us. Short twig was pummelling me with punches and Tall twig was desperately tugging at my bag. So I did what comes natural to any pure blooded Sarawakian, I chose a twiggy, which was Tall twig (who was the closest), grabbed the front of his smelly shirt, did an over the shoulder throw (a judo move a friend thought me), painted an imaginary bullseye on his face, and rained him with nice solid punches non stop (thanks BodyKombat class)! I haven’t had a good fight in a very long time (although a bit one sided). I was having a great time, the adrenaline pumping and my mind was clear! I didn’t mind Short twig hitting me from behind. It’ll take more than that to stop me when I get going! All these months in the gym really paid off, the freeweights and my cardio (BodyKombat) classes! I didn’t feel anything! By this time Short twig was tugging at one of Tall twigs leg trying to drag him away from me, probably trying to escape. Tall twigs face was a mess, I think I broke his nose and it was bleeding non stop. When they managed to break free and fled, I shouted "Oi! Pergi mana sial?!" Oi, where you going shitheads?!" I was having a really good time and they managed to get away! Didn’t actually report the whole incident in. Why? Because it was pointless. Those two twigs are long gone, beaten and humiliated, I didn’t lose anything and nothing was broken. Only damage I saw was I scratched my favourite red Swatch watch!! Now that really pissed me off! Oh well. The last time something like this happened was getting jumped at Sunway Pyramid parking after a latenight movie. That was 5 years ago! So, bottom line is, I had an extra workout, high-impact version, with what I’m guessing are very very skinny drug addicts. My advice to all my friends, make sure your not alone when going home late, so you won’t be a target for these petty criminals. Always have a buddy with you.
Be Safe & Be Healthy. Laterz!
