My bro actually got down and his family told him to get back in as the men had knives. He then got back into the car and drove to try to block their getaway path. His car got rammed in the process and the carjackers made a swift turn and got away. Anyway, all this while, the family were in the car (even when it was rammed!) and they were as shaken as the neighbour who got carjacked. The police came later and by that time, the neighbourhood starting to crowd around to find out what had happened. The policemen stumbled upon a handphone left at the crimescene. Apparently, they just put it into a used plastic bag (not special or new ones). Guess we are a far cry from CSI. Ha ha ha...Talk about contaminating the evidence! So, that's why my bro appreciates life even more and the fact that he's still alive and nothing bad happened to him or to anyone else. Dinner was good, and that I will blog about another day.
Will end by posting the lyrics of a parody song I wrote for Mama Cindy. She had contacted me last year while I was holidaying in Perth to come up with a song (touching or humourous) for her church youth to perform as part of Father's Day celebration. So, here's to all the Father's out there, Happy Father's Day... and to my dear ol' Dad, I do wish you all the good things even as you are up there watching over me. I will always be your little girl (no matter how big or old I am!) Love you!
(Sung to the tune of Rasa Sayang) - written by wmw
Chorus:-
Happy Father's Day,
Yours in June and Mom's in May
We wish you all the best things
A very Happy Father's Day....
Verse 1
We've come together on this special day
To wish all the Fathers in this special way
We wish you good health and also good wealth
So that you will buy us whatever we say.
Verse 2
We sing to you with our hearts and soul
And hope that everyone here will know
We love you from the bottom of our hearts
You can live with us when you're old!
Chorus
Verse 3
We practiced hard to sing you this song
A thousand times, not to get it wrong
We have no money to buy things for you
So this song will just have to do
Verse 4
Everyone here now please sing along
Join in with us, this song won't be long
It's coming to an end for all really soon
Doesn't matter if you sing out of tune
Chorus
Verse 5
We hope you like what we've done for you
We thank you Fathers...and Mothers too
Thank you for bringing us into the world
Now tomorrow, "Can I skip school??????"
Chorus

Yes I've seen that pic. I've read through all of your blog posts since the beginning, remember? :-)
Sandra, I seriously didn't know that you have read through ALL my posts! :P
Alicia, I hope your parents are okay and your mom recovering well from the wounds. Sigh ...
haha.. love the song may. nanti kita jamming yer.
I finally get to see your face. You are so beautiful. You remind me of the famous Taiwanese actress singer Ella. She is an actress in the drama "The Rose" and one of the singers in S.H.E.
You brother is a compassionate and brave man. It must run in the family. By the way, I tried to sing your song using the Rasa Sayang tune, just the first verse. The rest, I read. I like the humor at the end, something about can we skip school?
