Dropster of the Century..

I am getting senile.

Ever since I started working here,
I had :

1) Dropped my handphone in a cab
2) Dropped my wallet in the cab
3) Dropped $32 in cash money when I stuffed it into my shallow pocket
4) Dropped gifts for friends in a cab.

Just what is wrong with me??!!!
Really senile and useless.

I have dropped my HP in citycab.
And the kind driver drove all the way back to my house after I called my own HP.
And he wouldn't accept any tokens of appreciation.

My wallet, while I was going to work in a comfort cab,
dropped it.
Did not even realised until my shift ended!

Then went to make police report and went through all the nuisance procedures.
but eventually got it back coz some kind souls picked it up from outside my workplace and sent my precious wallet to the police station.
All things (including cash) INTACT!
And blur me didn't even know I dropped it on cab or anywhere!

Tsk tsk.
From then on, I remain vigilant.
Careful where I place my belongings.

But ALAS!
It happened again 3 weeks back when bui and I were at gym and she passed me $32.
And I carelessly stuffed thecash into my shallow pocket.
Next time I checked,
I have upgraded my status as a "dropster"!
The $ was gone.

but it's not that big a deal.
Kept reminding myself, at least it's not $50.
kekeke.
self-consolation.

And so, the day came again when the dropster decided to establish her status once more.

This time, she drops something of more value.
Not in the monetary sense.

This is what happened on the fateful day;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dropster was on night duty and she happily took bus 39 from her house to work.
And then she decided that she would have dinner outside.
So she stopped by PASIR RIS DR 1 bus stop and went for yummy food.
On her way to the foodcourt, she saw "SWEET TALK" which sells ice blended bubble tea.
And it so happened that she's the GREEN TEA ICE BLENDED lover and will kill to have it!

She made up her mind to come back for it later.
After she had her fill at the food court, she walked back, and bought the lovely drink she yearned for, something to cheer her up and motivate her to work on a stupid Sunday night.

With a drink in hand, and a paper bag in the other,
she board a COMFORT cab which has STARHUB adverts plastered over it.
Then it happened.

Just as she took a step outta of the cab,
with the unfinished drink in her left hand,
she conveniently forgot about the paper bag she was holding on to.
And left it in the cab.

By the time she remembers the existence of this paper bag,
it was when she started work.
And the contents of the bag was something precious.
A gift shared by others for BoBo.
And a farewell/thank-you gift from bui to boss, tag with a card.

She called the useless taxi company which did not show any empathy AT ALL.
But to no avail. Cos she did not remember the taxi plate no.
So she went out to find after getting permission to take an hour's leave from work.
Just in case she left it at the foodcourt.
But it was again fruitless.
All in an attempt to retrieve the items she has been entrusted with.

She felt so bad...
And she blames herself for the folly and her stupid forgetfulness nature.
and oso her greediness for GREEN TEA ICE BLENDED.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No amount of apologies can describe the guilt I am going through.
And no matter how hard I have tried,
I could not get the things back.

I am guilty.
Call me a dropster from now on.
And to punish myself,
I shall go without my fav GREEN TEA ICE BLENEDE for 1 whole week!

I AM SORRY EVERYONE!!! (just to those whom entrusted me with the items actually...)

PS: hope the person who is WEARING the watch intended for BOBO gets rotten wrist!

What was the brand of the watch? My colleague picked up a Tag Hueur recently. Are you that blur one?
