i was reading this news. it suposed to be sympathy but i broke into laugh after reading this....
Then, she saw him walking to the kitchen and heard the lights being turned on.
Miss Ho, 21, a Nanyang Technological University student, thought he was going to the toilet.
However, the kitchen was unusually quiet. Her parents were out having supper, and no one else was at home.
Feeling something amiss, MissHo checked the toilet and found it empty.
It was then that she spotted the kitchen window wide open.
When she looked out, she got the shock of her life.
There, three storeys below their HDB three-room flat, was her brother, sprawled on the pavement, groaning in pain. Also strewn on the ground were clothes and broken bamboo poles.
STUNNED
Miss Ho said she was so shocked at seeing her brother at the foot of the block that she could only think of blurting out: 'What are you doing down there?'
'I fell,' her brother replied.
'Pain or not?'
'Of course pain lah.'

This news straight reminds me of 1 person.....
CURIOSITY apparently drove five Florida teens to their deaths, after they carried out an experiment to find out how fast a car could go.

The 18-year-old driver of the BMW that crashed had reportedly been online hours earlier seeking advice on how to handle the US$80,000 ($113,700) car at speeds of 225kmh and above, reported ABC News.
According to the authorities, Joshua Ammirato had snuck his father's grey BMW M5 onto the main runway at the Jumbolair Aviation Estates.
The area is an exclusive gated enclave for private jet owners in Ocala, Florida, where actor John Travolta is a resident.
Joshua took four friends on the expedition which ended horrifically when the car overshot the 2.4km-long runway and crashed headlong into a tree around 3.45am on Saturday.
The car flew off an approximately 26m-high embankment at the end of the runway, said the police.
The boys were apparently going so fast that the car went airborne for about 61m before slamming into an oak tree.
The impact split the vehicle in half, scattering wreckage over a 19sqm area, reported AP.
THROWN OUT
Three passengers were ejected from the car, while two were partially thrown out, said the Florida Highway Patrol. All five died instantly.
Joshua likely 'braked and turned', said the patrol's Lieutenant Mike Burroughs, after he either 'saw a hazard coming or realised that he was nearing the end of the runway'.
The move flipped the car sideways before sending it over the edge.
Lt Burroughs told ABC News he could not speculate on the exact speed of the car at the time of the accident.
All five victims had recently graduated from high schools in the area.
James Devon Hime and Dustin Dawe had been co-captains of the wrestling team, their school principal said.
Joshua had also been on the wrestling team, while Isaac Rubin played football at another high school nearby.
None of the victims was a resident of the exclusive community.
Officials said they found no alcohol on the scene.
But less than six hours before the accident, a user who called himself AmericanM5 logged on to a BMW M-5 online forum asking for advice on how to make the 500-horsepower car go faster.
Florida newspaper the Star Banner identified the user as Joshua.
'The problem is when I'm going pedal to the metal pushing 140 (225kmh) and upshifting, there tends to be thud noise with the gear change,' American M5 wrote in one post.
'Let me say I am beginner when it comes to high-performance cars as I am only 18 so take it easy on me.'
Others on the forum doubted American M5's claims of owning such a high-powered BMW at such a young age and warned him to take it slow.
DISTURBING
Forum member M5 Froth wrote: 'It's just disturbing to know, if you're for real, that an 18-year-old who is asking these questions about a 500hp car is driving the same street I am.
'I don't have anything against young guys driving nice cars, but an 18-year-old behind the wheel of an M5 is what accidents are made of IMO.'
In his last entry on the forum, posted at 12.33am on the morning of the accident, American M5 wrote: 'I completely understand where you are coming from assuming that I am irresponsible...
'I do sometimes make bad decisions, but I am young and I do drive safe and I will not endanger the lives of others.'
The authorities said it appeared that Joshua and his friends had entered the compound through a back entrance that gives access to the runway.
'Several community residents told us that it was common knowledge that there is a back way to this airstrip,' Lt Burroughs said.
'We know that troopers accessed the scene through that roadway without being challenged. There was no restrictive access.'
Jeremy Thayer, co-owner of Jumbolair Aviation Estates, explained: 'It's a private airport. It's not a public airport, so it doesn't have the same level of security that a public airport has.'
'We are all so distraught and devastated for these families,' said Mr Thayer of the Jumbolair community's reaction to the accident. 'It's hard just to even talk about it.'
