That was the word i knew since primary school. and it remained merely a word to me till yesterday.

because of what happened last night, my only identification now is a police report.

I managed to fall asleep only @ 5am that night.

when i first realised my bag was missing, i can't believe it was stolen. I was convinced that it was taken away by mistake because i seriously can't imagine how one human being can bear to put another through such agony. but the truth soon struck me when i was unable to call through my handphone lines.

i'm angry at the thief, but even more so at those staff who were supposed to render help to helpless people like me. 1 popeye staff reluctantly gave in to my repeated frantic pleas to rewind the cctv. A security guard with shiny badges all over his uniform shrug his shoulders and walk off hastily before i can even complete my sentence. how undeserving. So much for the tight security in the mighty Changi Airport, now we know how pretentious these people are when the film's rolling.

what i lost is not just my treasured belongings but also things that cannot be recovered with money- my family's safety (my keys& i/c in my bag), my kids' work and notes that they diligently took down during my lessons and the trust and faith in human beings. I help whenever i can, I return things that do not belong to me. but none of these happen to me when i needed them most.

I will not curse and swear at the fella who brought such agony to me. cause i know that the torture that i went through, the pain that i am put through, all the tears i shed, all the stress I'm under will be paid back thrice to the culprit.

I had a really bad fright last night. and I'm really extremely touched and grateful to those who cared for me in one way or another, particularly meiqi, weichong and zhisheng who stayed by my side throughout the whole incident and supported me when I'm on the verge of breaking down, my entire application team mates, Gianhui and Yock Kin for showering me with concern and helping out as much as they can.

I've retrieved my SIM card today but all my contacts are gone. do help me out by sending in your numbers okay.. and to those who sent me msges of concern, thanks and sorry for not replying cause i'm just worn out from everything. really greatly appreciated.

guys and girls, take care of your belongings. this certainly doesn't feel good.
