Heroic Action - A Matter Of Life And Death




2nd September 2009 at around 11:10am is a time of remembrance of the great heroic action of two+one individual and two police officers and two fire-fighters, and the kitten.

A true moment of glory!

It happened on the busiest cross-roads in Taipei, during the hottest hour of the day... the sun blazing down its fury on the tar road... hundreds of people and vehicles trying to make their way across to their destination where their destiny awaits...

Daniel and I are employees at a financial institution, our work requires us to work on shifts... and it was the First (Early) Shift that Heaven has decided for us. The benefit of working on the First Shift is that we get to have our lunch early and leave early so that we may have the remaining afternoon and evening free if we don't have to work overtime.

11:00 appears on the computer monitor, it is time for lunch. Without further delay we head downstairs for lunch, however, what lunch to buy has not yet been decided. There was time until we hit the side road though... Heaven again showed it mercy to the fragile and pity souls on earth, we have decided to to have McDonalds despite the fact that we've already had it two days ago.

As we walk through the busy crowd of people on the pedestrian and vehicles, something small and full of fur caught our eyes... It is a kitten!! It seemed hurt! Multitude of people walked by giving a glance at it but no one bothered to stop by and help. Perhaps they expect others to handle it.. or perhaps they were in a hurry?! But then again, who isn't?!

Having stopped our journey to McDonalds to investigate the little creature on the floor, it was indeed in pain, shock and was hurt. At the point of desperation and the hunger for food, we have decided to call the Taipei Citizen Hotline 1999. The called was answered quickly and professionally by the service agent and within 10 min during one of the busiest hours during the day, help arrived!!

The kitten was saved!!!!

...and the journey to McDonalds continued with excitement and fulfillment. Now, it is only interesting and fascinating to think what would of happened should we have gone to a different place for lunch, have taken the traffic light at the other side?

I know the answer to that... The kitten might be dead...
