So nearly lost a very expensive i borrowed from sch today.

Went with a friend to the hawker centre at Clementi. Upon seating, i became wary of 2 guys at the adjacent table, seemingly doing nothing, and i thought they looked like they might well steal our items, so i shifted the positions of our bags closer to myself, in the process shifting the borrowed textbook (inside a plastic bag) further away. After a hearty meal, we went off... then 3 stops on the mrt, and i realised that blur me had left behind the textbook. Panicky, called my friend, she didn't recall me holding the textbook. Took me another stop to realize i left the book at the hawker centre. Thus began the dash.

So back at the hawker centre... true enough the book was missing. Asked the cleaners, nope, searched frantically, nope. Was gonna give up and calculate the cost... when a man near a drinks stall waved in my direction. I stepped closer... and there was the plastic bag, with my book in it, hanged onto a peg of the drinks stall.

And when the man went back to his seat, i realised he was the one whom i thought might actually steal our items.
