I GOT MY POWERBOOK BACK!!!!

OMG. it was surreal larh... on monday evening after we put up the posters on sunday night at the busstops along 16 route, lawrence got a phone call from a police from marine parade police post saying that someone turned it in a few days ago. But they kept my laptop at their place for 2days nobody come and claim, so they sent it to the divisional HQ lost and found at bedok north already. so nice! the police saw the notice, called to inform us that it had been found!!! haha...

then i was a little bit skeptical about the authencity of the caller, after lawrence called to tell me the good news, so i called up the MP police post again to verify (under the pretence of forgetting where to go to retrieve the computer)... and well it was true! haha the policeman i spoke to said that they thought it was mine because the description on the posters fitted that of the person who turned it in, and well he checked with all the divisional HQs in Singapre, and this was the only Apple powerbook found within the last few days! haha.

went this morning to the bedok HQ w lawrence despite a raging fever and a sore throat, and i literally squealed when i recognised my zeroshock sleeve-covered lappie on the table!! haha... whoosh. so i got it back =)

then we went to take down the posters we put up haha...

here's one of them =P

the amazing thing was that the person returned my laptop without leaving his/her name, nor contact details. so i cldnt call him/her back to thank him/her. im definitely eternally grateful though.

celebrated with bak chor mee because ive been craving for it for a long time! haha...

bah. had like zero appetite for the past few days because of this whole incident. but now that i start feeling hungry, i have this massive throat infection cum tonsilitis, and a high fever to go with it. bah. sadness. i have kitkat chunky in my fridge waiting for me.

thank you everyone who helped: lawrence (for doing all the stuff with sbs, and thinking of the poster idea), di (for accompanying me on our frantic chase after the bus in the cab), yun (for helping us take the bus no, finding the police post tel etc), yun's parents (for picking di and me up from the busstop aft the chase), di's mum (for checking for the location of the powerbk's serial code on di's powerbk for me), my parents (DUH. for being supportive, not unduly scolding, and mum for driving lawrence n me to put up posters), lawrence's mum (for being concerned, contributing her ideas and suggestions) etcetcetc. gosh. i was such a liability on SO MANY PEOPLE! =(
