I should have suspected that there's a big hole in ground waiting for me when i was feeling so happy on sunday. I had fun replying to comments to R1 peeps and can still feel high from the rain that pelted us on NE1.I was excited to meet some dear friends after a loong time too.
When i woke up with a cold, i did think of not wanting to leave my house.Ate my med and it got a bit better.But for the sake of meeting them all, i trudged on.I sweated myself out by walking all the way to the mrt station.Alarms should have started ringing when yuni last minute can't make it and farah too had a flu.When i got farah's message i did want to turn back.But what if rachel and shuxin were already out of the house, like i was? Huimin did say she's going to have a mini surgery but i was slightly hopeful that she'll come.We just went ahead.
My shoes cut into my feet.Heard some news about a schoolmate.Chatted with sx and rachel all the way till city hall.Haha.Got carried a way and didn't know where we were.No big! City hall opens on the other side.We walked around.
Looked for clothes and i looked for slippers to wear.I liked walking with sx.She's like a walking calculator and she knows if it's a good deal or not.Haha.Maybe we should go again?Halfway through i waited for hm to msg.I told her not to come and take a rest at about the same time she told me that she can't come.Haha.Made some purchases.Went over to eat at breeks.
The student's meal was pretty nice.Haha.I think it's worth it?We chatted for a loong time.Me and rachel finished our soup, main dish while sx slowly finished eating her meal.Which she didn't as she talked a whole damn lot.Haha. Me and rachel forgot about our icecream until the person asked us.By the time we finished our icecream, she still haven't finished her chicken! Hahaha..Sx sx..
It's nice to share my thoughts and listen to them.Talking about how fragile and unpredictable life can be.
Then i refused to give up on looking for slippers.So we made a last attempt to go to citylink before heading over to bugis to look for my clothes.Still chatted along the way.Haha.Sx sure does have a lot to talk about.Haha..When we finally reached, sx had to go away to give tuition.So me and rachel trudged on.Walked around.Found a pair of shorts that i like.When i like something, i'd just buy it.haha.Walked around some more for another top.
That was when tragedy strikes.
I was wearing a backpack.I put my phone into my myuk wallet containing my ic and ezlink at the side pocket for easy pocket.Told myself to be careful and check it often.It was at this particular stretch of shops that i suspect i was being targetted.I walked with rachel while checking out the shops.I dunno.Suddenly i felt like i didn't want to get separated from rachel.I let her walk in front and massaged her shoulders a bit for fun.Hm.I think she spotted a belt so i walked on a bit.But i turned behind and she was still at the back.So i waited for her to catch up.When i felt that she was finally with me i started walking again.Then i realised, rachel was still someway behind me.Strange.So i stopped and look at some clothes at the side.Then i heard the sound of velcro and a tug at the side of my bag.I didn't think of anything.Touched the pocket.Checked a bit.There was something in there.Then rachel came up and asked me to check my back as someone took something from me.Checked.Freak.My myuk purse definitely wasn't there.My ic and my ezlink!!Then something struck me.SHIT!My phone was in that purse!!!My head felt light.Panic.Then rachel pointed out that a person there was an accomplice.I wasnt sure what happened but i didnt want to push an innocent.(Fine..call me a softie.)Actually i wasn;t thinking much.I was pretty much relying on rachel that point on.We both we panicking.Couldn't think straight.We left the place in search of a police post.
I really couldn't think.If rachel didnt suggest to take cab,i'd be stupidly waiting to jaywalk by the road.Made a police report.And was told that we should have called 999 right after it happened and not to let go of the suspect.Sigh.If you're stunned, you can't think straight.If you can't think straight you can't be rational.I am an escapist so i wanted to get out of there asap unconsciously.I admit it was pretty dumb not to do the model answer thing.
By then my aunt already helped cancel my phone line.I/C handled by the police and ezlink, i don't think much can be done?I'll get a new one anyway.I just have to cancel it.I'm just hoping that they will try to sell my phone.Chuck my myuk purse somewhere someone can see and pick up.Ezlink,well..I'm hoping they try to use it on a train and hope their picture gets taken by the cctv or whatnot.I want my phone back.I really do.But a part of me has given up.I don't remember fully what other junks are in my purse. I just want them back.Please?
Life's pretty interesting.One event lead to another.Every decisions you make will have an impact on the direction you are heading towards.If everything was well and everyone turned up for the gathering,we'd be all having dinner at seoul garden at that time of the incident.I might not have to lose my myuk purse.If i decided to cancel because of the cold that i had that morning,i'd still have the phone.If i said that i wanna go back home after the lunch, i'd still have them. If i didn't insist on meeting just now with so many people not able to make it, i'd still have them.Sooo many what ifs, but there's no way to retrace our steps and redo them again.Would i wanna redo them?
I feel like things happen for a reason.Something is to be learnt from this experience.For me and for those around me.I'm still pretty bummed out at how blank my mind was throughout the entire thing.I didn't wanna think.I didn't wanna believe it happened.I should face the problem instead of hiding behind someone else.
I seem to have quite a bit of expensive life lessons lately.Well., just the driving license saga and this pickpocketing saga.I'll go broke if these stuff keep happening.Guess i need to really stop being such a kid and grow up.I don't wanna bring down those around me.
I miss my phone.
And rachel, thanks for being a witness.If i were in your place,I might not see anything wrong at all until you say that you lost your stuff.I don't look around my surroundings that well.I'm glad that we were where we were back then.*hugs*
