life sucks. high rise buildings are tempting.

someone commited suicide from the opposite block today. not sure about the details, but i was kpohing, looking down my window looking at the police and ambulance and the other kpoh neighbours sticking their heads out of the window to kpoh too. the max height of the block is 30 storeys. so if we assume the person jumped from the 30th floor, and take one storey to be about 3.5m, assuming no air resistance and using the kinematics equation s=ut +0.5at2, the person would have taken about 4.6 s to fall...

ok kinematics and kpohing aside, i began to think why the person committed suicide. i mean it really takes a lot of courage to jump off and end your life. we always complain about how life sucks and we want to die, but how many ppl actually do commit suicide? i was wondering whether i would ever have the courage to kill myself if i were really so tired of living. but i guess my answer is no. or at least not yet;/ you can just imagine how much the person is suffering such that he/she would want to end his life. sigh. the world is sad.

I was flying 14:28
