Alrite. Let me relate this very complicated phone story. Ready?

It's a fine Monday and Taariq, Andre and me went to Tampines Mall to search for my sister's and Taariq's brother's birthday present. So after lunch we went to find and landed ourselves at this Urban Concept shop. So while paying, I'd absent mindedly left my O2 phone on the cashier desk.

Therefore, the next day, I went back with Eirene and Taariq to check out the Urban Concept. Indeed, I'd left it there and the boss of the shop had helpfully returned the phone to some security. Thus, I went to the security HQ to ask about my phone. Then the guy asked me to go to the Customer Service counter, which asked me to go back to the HQ again. [irritating rite] Kays, afterwhich I talked to this very nice security guard called Ramu. She brought me back to Urban Concept to ask about my phone. The boss was not there so the other boys told her the story that the boss [named Eugene] had returned it to some night guard. So, Ramu said, night guards were not here for duty yet, so she would help me to ask about the phone later in the evening and asked me to come back again tml for it. So I happily brought home such high hope that I would receive my phone back tomorrow. I was so high in spirit.

Who knows. Tomorrow when I went back, security Ramu told me that there was some misunderstanding and asked me to speak to Mr Eugene from Urban Concept. So i went, and he told me the whole story. He told me that he had indeed passed it to a security who turned out NOT to be a security from TM. They suspected that the security would be from the Courts, as their security had similiar uniforms yet they were not under TM security. So when they went to confront the Courts security, the supervisor of the security asked innocently if it was this phone when he fished out from his pocket. Yes! Exactly! That was what Mr Eugene had said. But, the supervisor's other peers inisisted that that was HIS phone. Yeah, HIS phone, what can we do, Eugene said. Upon hearing this from him, I was damn sad la. Gave me such a high hope and yet giving me this kinda shit result. Thus I went back to the HQ, security Ramu promised me to find it back and requested for another few days of investigations. However, I'd lost hope already, since that Eugene said this matter should drop.

Three days later, I received a phone call from security Ramu, she told me that Mr Eugene had found an O2 phone in his Urban Concept letterbox. She asked me to come down on Sunday [which was ytd] to check if it was my phone. So I went down ytd and indeed it was MY phone, with the scratches at the side. SIGH. About so much of hussle and stuff, the phone was finally ROTATED back to me!

I tink that supervisor was guilty lor... I mean in the end if the investigation continues, he would be found out right. Can't possibly that the phone just gone missing rite. sigh. Whatever it is, I am very grateful to Mr Eugene and security Ramu. I mean, even though i didn't had my phone back I would still wanna thank them. Especially Mr Eugene, as he did RETURN the phone, just that to a wrong person.

Sigh Sigh Sigh, now it was Mel's turn to lose her phone when I'd got back mine.
