devastated.

thursday was a wonderful day meeting sel/al/shu and yun/di...
but i lost my beloved powerbook.

super duper devastating can.

yun and di were supposed to stay over, and yun wanted to go hme to grab sthg before coming over. so we went to her hse. i was kinda distracted on the bus by some issues, and when we reached her busstop, we jumped off and i realised the moment i hit the kerb that i left my powerbook on the bus!! GAH.

tried running aft the bus but it left alr... then di and i tried to hail a cab to chase after the bus. but it took awhile to get a bloody cab. sighs.

the very very nice cabbie drove v fast for us, tried to catch up with the bus, but somehow we couldnt find the bus. there were lots of traffic lights and road hogging traffic like this STUPID van which was driving at 40km/h in the centre of a 2 lane road.

in the meantime, called lawrence with the bus stop number, who called sbs for us (2 extremely flustered girls) to report the loss, and checked the 16 bus route for us. take note that this was abt 10mins aft i got off the bus and realised my lappie was still on it.

16 loops somewhere in marine parade. so we got the cabbie to drop us at chij along MP road, so that we cld preempt the bus, and check them as they came by. lawrence also managed to get the 3 bus plate numbers most likely to have passed old airport road busstop (yun's hse stop) at 930pm on thurs. so happened that we managed to get on these 3 busses and they all didnt have the lappie anymore. i was sitting at the 2nd last row on the bus.

darling lawrence drove to bkt merah interchange which was nearer his hse and the start/terminating pt of the bus 16, to check them as they came in. the bus drivers of the few buses di and i checked even remembered us. but all dun have. di and i ended up walking to neptune court (vj stop) stop to wait for yun's parents to pick us up and send us to my house.

sighs. im damn devastated that someone most prob took it. totally screwed by my parents. went to msia on fri, just came back awhile ago. came down with intermittent pretty high fever when i was in msia... had to take lots of panadol to suppress it so that i wldnt spoil the mood of the 5 families (dad's college friends) who went to malacca for Afamosa and countdown.

dont know what to do anymore. printed posters am going to head to 16 route to paste them in abit. am offering a reward. reported the loss to sbs too. thanks lawrence for thinking of all these cos i was too flustered to think straight.

my lappie was on low power too, like 10%. hmmms. depressing.

wont be moving back to pgp too cos im not considering replacing my powerbook. my hse pc somehow cant log onto hotmail/messenger/yahoogrps/nus email/gmail tho. nonsense la.

grounded next wk. bah. but i deserve it la. what a way to end 2005 and start 2006. sincerely hope it somehow gets back to me. sighs.
