What's new?
Well, what can be new. I lost my phone again.
Someone probably took it during my dinner at Oriental. Yeap the hotel. I'm ok I guess. It's a gadget. It's tech. I'm destined not to have a loving relationship with tech. Seriously.
Anyway, this sparked off a discussion. I left a phone in a cab before. Left my money clip in a cinema before. Renee, Rosy and Joey took my cards for an entire day before I realised I left them at Burger King at Changi Airport. By then I was in Hong Kong. Two weeks ago I left my phone in a cab but that was returned. Two weeks later, the phone decided that enough was enough and it left me for good.
I'm not going to explain the situations that left me hanging without my belongings. Some were due to exhaustion, some were just being too naive. Oh, I just explained some situations.
The discussion that followed soon after my recent loss included possible explanations of how I could have lost my phone again. Of course I was careless at times. But I think I really trust the entire world. Ok maybe not the entire world. Maybe I think everyone's nice. No one intends to be bad or evil. Maybe I'm just being naive.
The other direction of the discussion went along the line of maybe I'm too full of myself. But I choose to see it as I don't expect anything bad to happen to me. The world is sunny, fresh and inspirational and everyone should be nice to me. Am I full of myself? Maybe. But i thought about it. I'm not full of myself. I've had this theory since I was in my teens. People who don't know me think I'm unapproachable and possibly a snob. Seriously. I'm seriously not bothered by these unjustified claims. I really only care a lot about how people whom I love think about me. That's all that really matters in the sphere of opinions isn't it?
Ok that's probably a digression from a lost phone.
Anyway, there is too much pain and too many more crucial concerns in this world to be affected by the insignificant losses in our daily lives.
Cheers to life. I hope you don't lose your phone.

yes, it is JUST a phone. i agree.
You left it on the table, knowing that it was on the table, and walked off to say hi to pple in the other end of the room. You expected that the pple at your table would take care of your phone. Or you expected that no one in the room was capable of stealing things, even though you've been a "victim" for several times.
THAT is the problem. instead of feeling upset with yourself that you were, once more, careless, you rather think it was due to your positive nature, or whatsoever reason.
you went out and left the tap in your home running the whole day.
you left your bag on the table in a temple, and refused to bring it with you to the eating area (a hundred+ metres away?). you said there was nothing valuable inside.
it isn't the point, right? you should take care of your belongings/be cautious at all times. it should be a practice and not be an opportunity to express your trust in the whole world WHEN your stuff goes missing.
would you change then, i asked? thinking, like every other friend who knows about your lost phone, it's a lesson learnt.
there's nothing wrong with being peace-loving and trusting. You're one of the best person i know, and am glad to have. seriously.
And i appreciate more than anything that you're calm and unbothered about losing things that are supposed to be insignificant in our lives ie. just-a-phone.
But you never know what may happen in future, if you don't try to be more careful.
Because, one day, you might lose something/someone of value, without even knowing why or what you've done/not done.
Simply because you have too much trust. in others, in yourself.
But of cos, i'd be the last person you'd ever lose. You're stuck with me for life, honey.
Fwah. :)
WOWWW. Hope you guys are fine.
Love the last line. I wanna be the last person jw will lose too. Keke. Well, i lost my phone twice in 2 months too though I've never lost it before.
Kor, if only the world is as nice & perfect as we hope it will be. But it's not. & the very reason it's not makes us all the more treasure the pple we love, rite? & if we reallie love them, we will try best not to make them worry or be sad for us. Dat's wat i think. =)
Da-sao, yeah, sure this boy is real careless AGAIN. Can't believe bout the HongKong incident still. Waha. But maybe he reallie sees things differently, like how sometimes men do. *winks* & the last thing he will want is you standing on the opposite side of the fence instead of with him. We all grow with time. So, yi bu yi bu lai okie? I'm sure you won't give up since we know how hard it is to find true love, so actually I don't have to say anything here in the first place. Keke. Busybody!~
So many things happened in our lives this year. I guess we really need to appreciate life and dun let silly trivial things get in our pursuit of happiness. Love the both of ya!! nitey!!
P/S: sometimes i like bickers. Becos they spice up life and somehow they have a way of bonding two pple once you overcome it. Keke. Weird hor. But I think if a r/s is too peaceful also no good. Too bland. Muz be happening!! Just always remember the bottomline is you love each other and you want this to work out ultimately. Guaranteed formula. Just dun let emotions get the better of you. =) Tata!!
Haa don't worry, we're as fine as can be :)
And don't put ideas in her head!!! Everyone can do without bickers!!!!! haaa...
