This is really rare journal entry of complaining n lamenting about the unfairness of life. I don’t usually like to be so negative about things but this time I feel my suffering shouldn’t go unnoticed!
Malaysia is really a land of corruption, pollution, broken dreams and dashed hopes!!!
I wouldn’t insult my own country for no reason.
People are so poor and desperate that they even want to steal my cheapo handphone! I wouldn’t mention the race but it should be obvious.
This is the story:
I was walking towards the yellow bus along the road opposite city square when I was selecting the operator on my hp. After putting it back into the front pocket of my backpack, I noticed a few guys behind me looking suspiciously aimless. I felt for my bag n noticed the pocket was fully zipped open, but my hp was still there. I then knew something was wrong n those guys were up to something. However, being unable to zip it back as I was holding another bag with my right hand, I placed my left hand firmly over that pocket so I could feel my hp there. When I boarded the bus n thought it would be safer since the group of guys won’t follow me anymore. When I was paying for the bus fare, I turned myself so that my bag was facing the passengers seated on the bus and took out the money from my purse. But it was so crowded n when I was a guy(wearing a white polo tee with blue stripes)getting down the bus( he just boarded behind me I think) after muttering some inaudible words, I quickly felt that pocket with my hand again n realized my hp was no longer there. I panicked and stood at de front steps of the bus to see where that guy went. He wasn’t anywhere in sight. I can’t believe he disappeared so quickly! I decided it was no use looking anymore n stayed on de bus. I can only blame my own carelessness… and maybe the state of society…
I have heard many stories of snatch thieves and robbers from ppl around me, especially in Johor Bahru, but only when I become a victim myself will I realize the importance of safeguarding ur belongings wherever u go. Nevertheless, I still don’t think it is totally my fault as it is unreasonable for anyone to be clutching his/her handphone, wallet, passport, etc so tightly whenever walking in public. What then are the use of bags? Does this mean we can’t use fashionable sling bags, tote bags, etc unless we don’t mind being our valuables being stolen? What has this society been reduced to? A nokia 6101 hp is not like worth 1000 bucks and can last u a lifetime of joy and expenses!
Anyway, I wouldn’t even bother making a police report. I think they’re even more useless(where does corruption come from?).
Lastly, I hate shirts with stripes. I will never buy them. and I hope ppl will stop making me feel worse by nagging at my carelessness.
Grrr.
