A suicide case occcured here in Singapore on Friday, 15th of April. Well, I know there're suicide cases reported frequently or even everyday, all around the world. But, for this case, it's rather sad.
You can get the gist of what happened by reading this short article here:

Basically, a mother and her 9 year old daughter were found dead on a grass patch, after jumping down from their apartment which is on the 12th floor. Many expressed their anger because they could not understand the reason why the mother had to take her daughter with her, to the route of death. Painful death, in fact.
12 floors. You can imagine how bad the effect was. Bone fractures, distorting of facial features and endless pain that tortures. An innocent girl who has only lived 9 years of life, and she couldn't make it even as a teenager just because of her mother's mistake of grabbing her and jumping down from the 12th floor together.
Nevertheless, I felt that the mother is not to be blamed entirely. She could be down with some kind of depression or that she wasn't thinking correctly at that point in time. There could be tricky issues that were bugging her.
Yea, so what has Deja vu got to do with this incident? I'll tell you in a few seconds.
About 1or 2 days before this happened, which could be the 13th or 14th, I had a wierd dream that terrified me to the extent that I have trouble getting back to sleep. I have dreamt of a woman hugging a girl, standing on the edge of a building. Without any warning, that woman jumped down and landed on the ground. I couldn't really recall what happened next but it was really scary.
I was shocked when one of my colleagues that I've met during my internship told me of the suicide case that she have read on the newspaper. I started to wonder whether it's Deja vu or just pure coincidence. Whatever it is, I hope I won't get to dream about such stuff again. May the mother and her daughter rest in peace.
