This happened early this week..come to think of it. It's rather scary staying in a room with someone you don't really know, even in this safe place of Singapore.
With my eyes barely open, mind yet to start functioning, a PRC student walked into my office. He looked decent, conservative, a tad bit of the chinese scholar type of person of the past...those 书生 pattern kind of person..
Very softly, he said that he woke up today only to be strangled by his roommate. Goodness! His story goes like this, his roommate was upset with him setting his alarm at 7am, and not waking up. So, the alarm went on ringing, but he just slept on, waking his roommate up. His angry roommate then woke up, went to his bed and strangled him, saying,"我已经忍你很久了！"
I sure became wide-awake! In the end, lots of reports to be written. Security division called in, rooms of the students were changed, and the Resident Counsellor had to spend hours on resolving conflict and emphasising the severity of the matter.
You'd never know when your roommate just gets crazy at times. Later I went to check the records, and this 书生 looking guy.......was previously warned for using violence and vulgarities on his girlfriend. Apparently, he went to his girlfriend's hall to slap her in front of everyone else and abused her verbally. And well, you know the saying that always goes..never...*fill in the blanks*
