2:30 PM - Tuesday, May 30, 2006

My friends, never forget to bring your handphone with you out in today's world. You'll just feel like you're a prehistoric man living in 2006.

Just today, I unfortunately left my handphone at home and a hell lot had to happen to me. On one hand, I had an outing with Jenn Haur and gang and had to inform them where to meet, etc. On the other hand, I had to inform s27 that I wasn't going with them to wala wala. Trust me, there ain't so many pay-phones around in Sinagpore. And I had to go to lavender to make a replacement for my lost IC. My mum went with me and helped to pay and helped me take some stuff home while I went to meet Jenn haur and gang. The only good thing that happened today was that I only had to pay $60 instead of $100 because I said the IC was "stolen" instead of 'lost". So after that, I went off to PS while my mum went home with my collection slip and other forms.

The highlight of the day happened at this point of time. While at PS, I was walking up and down around the box office area where I had arranged to meet them as I was now uncontactable and it will be damn dumb to wander off to another place. And those three had to be an hour late. So i did that walking up and down thing for 1 hour! And guess what, 2 policemen approached me and asked me for my IC!!!! WHAT THE HELL!!! DO I LOOK LIKE SOME UNDERAGE PUNK THAT LOITERS AROUND PS HOPING TO CREATE SOME TROUBLE? So the following was roughly what went on...

Police 1: Can I have your IC please?
Me: (takes out EZ-link and hands over to police 2)
Police 1 : How old are you?
Me: 18.
Police 2: You don't have your IC with you?
Me: No, 'cause i lost it a few week ago and i made a police report.
Police 1: So where's your report?
Me(thinking how dumb they might be to ask this question): I lost it a few week ago, of course it's at home la. I just went ICA in the morning to make a replacement, you can call and check.
Police 1: So you dun have your report...So where's the replacement slip?
Me: My mum went with me and brought it home.
Police 1: So you also don't have the replacement slip with you? Can you use your handphone to call home?
Me (can't believe how suay i was): I didn't bring my handphone...
Police 1: Wah, everything also don't have ahz.
Police 2: So what school are your from?
Me: VJC!

And from then on, their attitude changed and started talking nicely to me. I explained my situation to them and they even lent me a handphone that allowed me to contact Jenn Haur. Really shows what your school's name can do to get you out of trouble sometimes.
