#29 - All hope is not lost after all!

30.07.2009
All right! Mz start this post sounding energetic. Why? Cos I am gonna talk about the bad luck that I am having recently.

Jz this morning, about 0.5min before reaching my company on motorbike, my work bag was snatched. And where did I place it? Erm…a bit ashamed to tell u this, but yes, I placed it in the motorbike basket, an easy target to the preying snatch theft. But let’s this be a bitter lesson to us all, esp me. But the Malay guy was definitely marking me for some time already as he dared to snatch my bag in a road where he can’t speed straight ahead but instead need to make U-turn to escape.

There goes my wallet with the IC, license, ATM and credit card. Parting farewell permanently with me was also my h/p, work documents including a pen drive in which I store a lot of my work info (gotta start from scratch now, I guess) and most importantly, house and office key. Got me worried for that, I had asked mom to change house lock and intended to change my office padlock. Better be paranoid than sorry. Let’s jz hope that this is only a small snatch thief.

Jz last wk my mom shop got burglared. Jz last wk I mend my motorbike and had to scout out some portion of my budget to cover for that, which tightened my budget and forced me into ’scrutinized spending’. And jz when I thought I might be able to treat myself better this Aug by having more budget to spend on, there goes my work bag. Seems like I gotta be on a tight budget again for this mth. But on and off, I am grateful that at least my whole family is safe and sound. As for me, the usual case la. I mz be knocked in the head first before I really practise the caution. And yup, I got the msg OK? No more bag in the motorbike basket, no matter what bag. Plastic bag or garbage bag or handbag (not that I hv one) or schoolbag. No more. I have had enough …

So Lady Luck, can u pls be kind enough so as to drop by my side jz for even a day or so? Pay ur friend a visit ya, since ur friend haven’t really seen u for quite some time already. Awaiting for ur visit :)
But before I forget, what touches me is that, there still are Good Samaritans out there, willing to help u when u faces situation like this. My colleagues offered to lend me money, the police who took down my report offered to pay the RM2 required to make such report and the lady at the photocopy shop allowed me to pay next time, knowing that I had jz met such an unlucky event. So God does have mercy on u, when u met with unlucky incident, u are reminded that there is still hope somewhere!

I am grateful to these people. And although the policeman said I don’t need to repay him, I will repay him come next week. It may not be a big matter for him, but it means a lot to me. I was helped when I was in trouble. The gratitude can’t be measured by anything. Thank God for still remembering me :)
