SERIES OF UNFORTUNATE EVENTSThursday 1pm
Capitaland has this offer to give tenant free starbucks coffee.
All you need to do is fill in a form, and present your IC at the office to redeem the voucher for the coffee. My colleagues and i was quite exicted about the FREE drink, thinking that we can choose whatever we want.
Feeling lazy, i filled up the form and conveniently passed my IC to my colleague, and told them i wan a green tea frapp. as i was waiting anxious for my fav starbucks drink, one of colleague return 30mins later and tell me, "ou yang, we lost your IC. i'm not joking.. sorry.."
To think about it, i dont think she was joking in the first place, but i wasnt angry too. so i ask about the other colleague, she was still searching downstairs. they couldnt recall whether they misplaced it or dropped it. i was just hoping i wasnt that UNLUCKY.
i went to the lift lobby and saw my colleage, she say she traced back the route 2~3times but she cant find it. so i told her to go back to work first, since its already 2plus. i went on the search myself, since its MY IC. :(
i called raymond and ask him where is the nearest police post, so i can lodge lost IC if needed. he told me TANGLIN or LAVENDER. i was like... so faR?!?!?! i swallowed the cruel fact that there is no nearby police stations, and went to the management office where they redeemed the starbucks voucher. the receptionist gave me the "dont have means dont have" look, which make me quite pissed off. i believe that my colleagues really did trace back the route, so i make my way to the concierge to file a lost report, to be safe.
i ask the lady, not sure if chinese or malay,
"can i file a lost report here? i lost my IC."
she smiled and handed me a form, and asked,
"is this your first time losing your IC?"
what a question. but she seems nice, so i replied,
"no... never before."
i continued to file up the never ending form...
and as i was almost done, she peeked at my form.. and smiled,
"i have a present for you"
i looked at her in surprise, realised that she had got my IC.
"someone turned this is just a few moments back." she smiled, and her team behind her too.
"oh thank you so much!" i took back the IC... and made my way to Jason's.
As a token of appreciation, i bought a box of Rocher for the team. i hope i can thank the kind soul who picked up my IC!

Friday 7.10pm
I booked tickets to Iron man 2 for the show at 7.30pm @ cineleisure
it was 7.10, i collected the tickets and was heading downstairs to have a quickbite before the show starts. happily deciding what to have... me and zhenzhu went down the escalators. I am suppose to meeting my friends for the movie, but they not here yet. i bought a zinger burger.. and went up escalator again. 7.20pm.
My friend called n i ask him to meet me at LEVEL 4 box office, where we can get some drinks n popcorns. i hanged up the phone, and tried to search for the movie tickets.
FUCK. where did i put it?
i search my pockets,
i search the paperbag
i search my wallets
i almost wanted to search my underwear
LOST.
where can they be?
i only have the receipt n booking number with me.
i queued up behind the counter, and my friend appeared.
"OI, i lost the ticket" i told my friend
"hahaha... you become very funny ah..."
zhenzhu continued "really la! we cant find it"
den suddenly, he stopped for a moment too
"i still have the receipt" so we explained our situation to the ticketing staff and the manager endorsed a hand written ticket for us to enter
"if the ticket holder were to entered the cinema, they are entitled to the seats, not you" she explained.
WHAT CAN I DO, just accept right.
so, feeling terrible about the absent minded me, went in to the cinemas together with my friends. it was already 7.30. the commerical are long and never ending.. i tried not to think about it anymore, but i just cant help it.
moments later, a group of boys came in, stand near our seats and keep mumbling with his friends.
"erm excuse me, i think you are in our seats."
one of the poly-looking boy exclaimed
"YOU BOUGHT THE TICKETS?" my friend pointed at him.
suddenly, the guy backed out.
"NO NO... we picked it up, and we dont know who it belongs to."
"Sorry sorry..."
and he left, leaving the ticket stub behind.
the other friends, handed over the tickets stubs and apologized as well.
PHEW.
although we are the rightful owner of the tickets,
but i just hate troubles, so i am happy there wasnt any.
oh and.. iron man was quite long winded and boring

Saturday 8pm
went to ikea for dinner after Ip Man 2.
happily ordered kids spag, meatballs, chic wings and nuggets. we were looking at how those kids n babies are enjoying their meals around us, and was discussing the couple with their newborn next to our table.
we had our fill, and head off to the shuttle bus.
with some chicken wings for take away, we boarded the bus to tampines.
9.30pm, zhenzhu say she wanted to go Venus to buy some toiletries.
FUCK shit
"i forgot the paper bag" i exclaimed.
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" was what written on zhenzhu.
"aiyo, nevermind.. lost lost lor" she said.
we were still in the shuttle bus, so we didnt alight
the bus driver look into the rear mirror
"we are going back ikea" i shouted across from the rear
"9.50! 9.50!" in his china accent.
so we waited patiently for 9.50. the bus is quite empty.
10pm we were back at ikea again.
we hurried back to the restaurant and asked the cleaner uncle
"uncle, 我的东西放这里忘记拿... 你有看到吗?"
so the chain starts..
this uncle ask this auntie... and the auntie walked over the other side
and asked another auntie.. den some uncle come over and ask what happen..
and finally they asked until the counter where the manager is.
"你的bag什么颜色的? 里面有什嘿?" "在counter那里啦~"
i saw the familiar bag and was totally relieved.
we thanked the managers and the cleaner uncle auntie...
which one of the uncle said "有两个钟咯!"
I didnt know i left ikea for so long. seriously.
its already 10.30pm.
