28.01.10

28.01.10 The day that i would never forget.
When a nice fine day turned out to be the most unlucky day at the very last moment.
It was my off day for this week (A and E dept HO entitled one day off per week). I was in a very good mood.
In the morning, i ate breakfast with my frens, then cleaned and tidied my room.....felt so satisfied when everything is in order.
Afternoon time, ate dimsum with another two frens who were also as free as me. Although it looked very weird to eat dimsum at noon, i enjoyed it very much. The delicious lunch was followed by my favourite pastime, shopping.
Then, there comes my fitness plan for this few mths......jogging.
My prayer worked as the weather is just nice for jogging in DR park in the evening. Exercising with a few good friends is good for your health and also an ideal way of closer bonding among friends.
After dinner, i was excited to have an outing again since i am doing night shift the next day, which means i still have one more day to rest.
But while we were happily walking back to my fren's car after drinking tea in a famous cafe somewhere in Ipoh, my handbag was snatched suddenly!!!! It happened so fast that i could not figure out what happenned.
When i turned my head around after a few seconds, i saw two motorcyclists with one of them holding my bag, riding a motorbike speeding away from me. The bike was few metres away and i was unable to see the plate number........seems like it was covered. None of my friends noticed the incident because everyone is going to get into the car. I was not hurt at all and still standing 'safely' besides the car.
At that moment, i could only come out with soft cry "My handbag........" while looking at the snatch thief fleeing away.
I have my handphone, my beloved "Elle" purse, cash rm140, credit cards and ATM cards, room keys and car keys in it................
So, guess everyone knows what to do next........
My friends lend me their handphone to call home (informed my parents that i was safe but my phone was not with me, so don't get cheated if someone call them using my phone.), called up bank to block the usage of ATM cards and credit cards. Then, made police report.........
When everything was settled, it was almost 1am. Felt so depressed because i could not get into my room in hostel as my keys was inside the bag. Luckily one of my colleague was doing night shift and i was able to rest in her room for a night while waiting for my roomate to come back the next day from KL.
If anyone asked me what was my feeling since the incident, i would say that i was not depressed by losing my belongings.......but felt sorry to trouble my friends that accompanied me to make police report, brought me to JPN to get a new IC, JPJ for a new license, get a new SIMcard for handphone.
I was lucky that it was their off day, so that they can drive me to settle all those stuff but was unlucky for them becos half day was spent with me.
Thanx to tan, koay and wong for accompanying me to police station, JPN and JPJ. Felt so secure with u all.
Thanx to ting for ur nice sleeping shirt, towel and a collared t-shirt for me to take photo for my new IC.
Thanx to Azila for allowing me to sleep on her bed, hahaha
Thanx to Lou for offering ur room to rest.
Thanx to koay for ur toothbrush, ur precious time, and ur offer to use ur extra handphone.
Thanx to tan kc for lending me ur extra handphone, ur extra wallet and it was just lucky that you are there to lead the way to JPN..........and trust me, the breakfast at ur hometown is not bad.
All those help sounds like a petty minor stuff. But when u do not have anything with u, not even a sen, unable to enter ur room, all these offers make a great difference and bring warm to ur heart.
For those frens that i forgot to mention, i want to express my gratitude for ur care and offer.
It is really very troublesome to get replacement for ur important documents and cards.........so lesson to learn: beware of ur belongings esp for females walking by the roadside, ur bag can be snatched very easily by those 'professional' snatch thief. It was not always safe eventhough u r with a group of frens.
