AMAZINGLY FUCKING LUCKY!

I just experienced one of the most amazing incident in school today. I kinda had my laptop stolen/lost earlier today in school. But i managed to get it back! i gotta thank my lucky stars man! if i had really lost my laptop, i'm gonna be so dead. and today's the last day of school for me. What a day to lose my laptop, right? just before my exams. WTF

anyway here's the full story of what happened:

after my Econs Quiz Test. i went to canteen 3 to have lunch with my friends, donovan and paulina. I put my laptop underneath the table as usual and i just went off to buy my lunch knowing that its rather safe, cuz i've done it before and that i had some friends sitting around there as well.

I came back to find my laptop is still there, so i just continued with my lunch until donovan had to go off and paulina had to go for her DOA Assignment walkthrough. So i went to sit with Ming and his friends Jia Hui and Jocelyn to chat, at the next table. My laptop was still within my sight. and i just continued chatting. We were about to leave, then i wanted to find my laptop. but FUCK! it wasnt there. i searched the entire canteen 3 and even asked the cleaners if they saw it. they said a lecturer took it and he said he was gonna try to gain access to it so that he would know who it belongs to and contact me. But i was thinking. How the fuck is he gonna do that when he doesnt know who's laptop it was, it could belong to anyone!! so i went to make a report at the Student Services Centre and the person told me he will contact me once someone returned the laptop. I was beginning to wonder if the lecturer was a fake one.

So i went to the DOA classroom to rest and chill to wait for the all important phone call. after 2 hours, still no phone call, i was beginning to get even more nervous. So before i went home, i decided to check with the person at the student services centre. still no news, and he even suggested that i make a police report. ZOMG! i dont wanna go through all that trouble. So he called his colleague, who was the head of lost/stolen items investigation to come down to help. i told the investigation guy everything i know. He asked me to bring him to canteen 3 to ask the cleaners for description of the alleged lecturer. Luckily the cleaners were still there. and they gave a rather vague description of the lecturer.

The investigation guy then told me to go home first and come back tomorrow to camp at canteen 3 to identify the lecturer together with the cleaners. LOL! sounds exciting huh!? well i found it abit ridiculous, but being quite desperate i just agreed.

Before going home, i stopped by at cheers with Ming and paulina, who were kind enough to stay with me throughout the ordeal. Then i received a call from the guy, and he told me he found my laptop already! WHAT!! SO FAST!!! i barely stepped out of the school man. so i just went over to blk 34 to find him. true enough he had my laptop. I asked him what happened actually. he said the lecturer actually took my laptop to Blk 34 and attempted to gain access to it to contact me. They even had a slip of paper which had my student details with my photograph and everything. but they did not have my phone number and they were getting ready to contact my mentor about it.

I was wondering how they managed to gain access to my laptop, but they said they had their ways and i didn't have to know. Fine then. as long as i have my laptop back in my arms, i didn't give a shit to other stuffs.

Ming said i just had a CUA SAI! (means something like a hair raising experience) day. oh well i agreed with him totally.

I really gotta be thankful to the lecturer and the investigation guy and everyone involved in helping me.

So i learnt a lesson, which im sure everyone knows what it is already. That is to take extra care of your own personal belongings and never leave them out of your sight because you never know, the minute u leave them out of your sight. They will just disappear into thin air, and not everyone is so lucky to have their laptops taken by good willed lecturers.

Imagine if i had really lost my laptop, i would have to get tutorial answers from my friends to study for the exams. And i have to waste money to buy a new laptop. !

Ming and paulina asked me why i appeared so calm even when i couldnt find my laptop. Truth is, i was amazed by my own calmness. It could have been because i was in a state of shock. But one thing i was certain was that i knew panicking and cursing and swearing wouldn't help things or make my laptop appear in front of me. So instead i just tried to be calm and think of what to do to salvage the situation(if you could say that). I guess i've been more rational in my thinking after this incident.

They were expecting me to say words like FUCK! KNN! NBCB! CCB! and kao bei like nobody's business. but nah. not my style. though i was on the verge of doing that.
if it was the old me, i would definitely have done that!
not now :)

phew! finally done with this super long post! hope the story has been an interesting one! :) enjoy reading about my misery and stupidity! LOL!
