I can’t wait to share my interesting day with you. Let’s talk about my boo hoos stuffy 1st. As usual, I had a tiff with my boyfriend again. I was angry with him for not picking up my calls as I was trying to settle some arguments with him. I refused to message or call him today at all.

In the morning, Haresh offered to give Emily and me a ride to school. We ended being “malu” as we were late. We were all well dressed for the trip to Sentosa. After school, we were contemplating whether to take a cab or a train. Finally, we decided to save money and travel by train. The chicken rice that Emily recommended was delicious as I was super duper hungry just now.

When we were at Sentosa, the weather was extremely hot. I took the brochures and scan through to see if there was any interesting shows I could watch. Coincidentally, there was an animal show at Siloso Beach which was where we were supposed to alight. The monkeys have this red swollen thingie on their buttocks. Very special indeed. I saw a horn bill and a yellow snake which reminds me of my boyfriend as he will certainly freak out when he sees it.

I played the guitar and sang with the rest. When I really couldn’t stand the heat any longer, I went to have a dip in the water. We played Frisbee, soccer and volleyball. I think I’m going to have a sun burn as my skin is very red now.

Emily and I left 1st. On our way back, we saw 2 ladies wearing skimpy bikini tops and shorts walking around in the bus. I think they are from China from their strong accent. There were 2 young boys who are Caucasians who kept on looking at the women’s outfits. I got no idea what they were thinking. But after they alighted from the bus, the ladies requested to take photographs with the boys with their parents’ approval. I just have the feeling that maybe this is the 1st time the ladies sees the westerners. Therefore, they would wanna take the opportunity to take a photograph with them for remembrance. I feel that the tradition of conservatism within Chinese is going to disappear soon. We are all getting more and more open minded nowadays.

The next thing that I wanna share is that I happened to realize that I’ve lost my necklace. I expected to touch it when I placed my fingers on my neck but it wasn’t there! This necklace was given by my boyfriend during our anniversary. I cursed and swear that I must recall how I lost it. I remembered that I took it off during my shoot last Sunday when I supposed to help Josephine by being her model to display her apparels that she had designed. I thought that I had place the necklace into my makeup pouch. Therefore, once I reached home just now, I rushed to my room and searched for it. I realized that there are holes in the pouched! Could the necklace slipped out of the pouch when I did my makeup? I had been moving from places to places during the shoot and it’s impossible for me to track where I took out my pouch for touch up. I knew the only thing I could do now is to either buy a replacement or break the news to my boyfriend. I decided to buy a replacement as I don’t wanna expect another quarrel when him anymore. I broke this news to my mum and brother, hoping they can help me solve this puzzle. N guess what? When I checked the bag where I placed the makeup pouch the 2nd time, I realized the necklace was stucked at the corner! What a relief! Immediately, I went to my 4 faced Buddha and thanked him for allowing me to find my necklace.

I begin to study after that. I took breaks by practicing my piano. Suddenly, my doorbell rang. I saw an unfamiliar figure at the gate and felt something was not right. I asked the stranger what he wants. He looked pretty mature for his age and asked me to help him. He seemed to be crying and claimed that he has lost his wallet and needs money to go home. I began to ask why he was here in the first place. He told me he wanted to visit his friend who has just shifted here and the address was actually written in his wallet. I was pretty suspicious in the 1st place because this guy sounded like a young kid yet looked mature for his age. I called my mum down to judge him. My mum was suspicious too but later, after asking so many questions he convinced us that he was telling the truth. His handphone has no battery already and wallet gone. He must be so desperate. Poor boy. I gave him $15 to go home. I hope it is enough for him. I asked him if our house is the 1st house he approached. He said that he went to many houses already and one of the owner even threatened to call the police. At that point of time, I really felt so sad for him. If he’s really telling the truth, it’s really sad to see him go through all these shit. I felt rather ashamed of myself too that I was so unwilling to help in the 1st place. I’m actually very disappointed with those owners who threatened this young man. All he needs is just $15 which I’m sure anyone can afford especially these people who are living in landed properties. Why can’t they just offer a helping hand?

Anyway, I did a follow up. I messaged him to check if he has reached his house. He told me reached his house already. He told me that he had lost his wallet from 1 plus in the afternoon and seek the police for help. However, the policeman told him to go search for it again but still in vain. He tried calling for taxis but the drivers refused to ride him once they knew he had no money. Then he travelled all the way to my area and started asking for help and that is how he came to my house.

Although the story may sound ridiculas, I hope he's really telling the truth and I'd spent the money purposefully. But I'm really disappointed on how pple would react to pple who really need help. I can't imagine if the same thing happens to me and nobody wants to help me. I'll feel so helpless. This incident gives me the determination to influence my students to be more kind and helpful citizens rather than pple who will threaten and leave someone who is in need just because they wanna protect themselves which is equivalent to selfishness. Let's have a kinder society please!!!
