Got Robbed Twice Last Weekend

I realize that I haven't wrote about a couple of things that has happened in my life recently such as:

1. My new DSLR - the Canon 400D
2. The night I watched Screwed
3. The glo trip to Port Dickson last week

I am working on these and will get them up soon with full pictures of course. I'm sure you will love some of the pictures.

On to what I wanted to share with you guys. The events that took place last weekend has me sad and disappointed with the way the world is today. Not that I haven't actually known about these things, but that it has finally happened to me.

The First
The first is Lam's Macbook. Last Saturday was Amanda's birthday and we all decided to take her to The Curve to have dinner at Friday's after glo. Trust me, we had a wonderful dinner, the whole place was packed, but we were sitting outside and it felt comfortable enough. Then came the time for the customary birthday song from the waiters and waitresses. As you can imagine the whole table got pretty distracted during that time. Lam was busy recording the whole thing on his phone and after it was over, I went to the loo.

Came back and when he was done recording everyone, he turned around and his bag was gone! No where to be seen. Susie immediately asked Jeremy if he was fooling around. Everyone laughed for a moment, but when it was clear that it was not a joke, the reality of the situation hit.

The night ended with a police report, lots of tears and a big dose of disappointment and anger in all of us. Even though it was Lam's lost, all 4k of it, I felt it too. I believe all of us felt it. I sympathize with him and thank God that he is strong through all of this.

If you have a laptop and you're reading this, please remember to hold your laptop bag with you all the time, no matter where you are. Don't leave it on the table or chair even for a moment.

The Second
The next day, Sunday, I came back to another robbery, this time it was my family. My parents and sister was suppose to go overseas for a family trip later in May/June with a certain travel agency. Everything is booked and prepared. My father even paid in full. Some of you may know this. 3rd page in The Star on Sunday. A group of customers of this company got a call and told that their flight has been canceled. Everything has been canceled, or rather nothing was planned in the first place. The travel agency has suddenly gone bust and the boss gone with all the money. The same travel agency that my family was customers of - Excellence Holidays.

My dad lost all the money paid to this company. All 20k of it. He has lodged a report along with the others, but at this point, it doesn't look like anything can be done about the money.

So there you go people, thats how I was robbed twice last weekend.
