This post is based on a true story. Names have been changed to protect privacy.
David, a friend of mine, recollected about his "adventure" on Good Friday. It wasn't so "Good" after all.
David had been shoplifting for a few months to date. He couldn't remember when exactly he started doing it. The first thing he shoplifted was probably a small mini toy car. He took it because he thought that purchasing the small toy car at that price wasn't worth it at all.
After taking it back, his temptation to steal got stronger and stronger. Every week, he would take something from the supermarket while buying his groceries. The frequency then increased to two to three times a week.
On the eve of Good Friday, he wanted to buy some drinks before going back to his dorm. He saw this eye circle remover and thought maybe he could just take it back and try it for free. He took the package and proceeded to the toys section.
Once there, he removed the packaging of the product and dumped the package underneath the shelf. Oblivious to his surroundings, he was being eyed by the watchful eyes of the security officer. David then proceeded on to the tools section, where he took a swiss knife package. He then attempted to remove the package and took the knife. It was almost perfect, except for a mini cut on his thumb while trying to remove the package.
Decided not to purchase his drinks, he went out of the supermarket with a sense of achievement, as usual. While on the way to the bus interchange, he was tapped on the shoulder by a middle-aged Malay man. The Huan Kia brought him to a corner and showed his identification before questioning him.
"Boy, Uncle is the security from NTUC ah. Uncle want to check whether you got any unpaid items in your bag anot?"
David then knew his game was over. Without hesitation, he said, "Let me check my bag first see whether got."
Another Chinese old man (CB Kia) who was his colleague also gave that evil look at David. David then took out a swiss knife. CB Kia then said, "Ahh see, this one u take!" David was speechless.
HK then said, "Ok anymore items? Your pocket?" David then took out the facial product from his pocket.
CB said, "Ahh this is the one!"
HK said, "Ok you got take anymore items anot?" David said no. HK said, "Ok you go back show us where you put the package." David followed without any resistance.
Once reached the supermarket, David went to find the package. He told the officers that he placed the package of the knife at the tools section, because they did not see where he placed the package. He then led them to one of the shelves and showed them the location.
"Ok you show where u put the other package." the HK said. For a moment David can't remember. CB said, "At the toys section lah!"
A few seconds later David remembered. He showed them the location and then HK said, "Ok follow me to the office."

hey guys i'm back!
it has been some time since i last updated my blog.. abt 4 mths alr.. jus have the sudden urge to post some update so jus take ur time to read yeah?
this is my first post in 2009. busy for the past few mths with studies, fyp, socialising and gaming..
really absolutely glad that fyp is finally over this week. it all seemed like yday when we first got our project. would like to say a big thank you to my 2 beloved teammates, bf and clara. it would definitely nt be possible if the two of u were not there with me, seriously. i know it sounds a bit dramatic but i have to say this. we are like a tripod. without any of us, the tripod wil not stand. all those errors and mistakes that we came up with; all those interesting values that we created, it all boils down to our hard work that we put in so far. we have done it mates! we really completed what we have done.
now i'm thinking wat i want to say. something interrupted my thoughts. oh yeah. went for my 3rd d n d in my whole life on dec 9. din want to attend it initially but decided to attend it as it may be the last time we are wearing outstanding clothes as a class, as a school. i guess that was the event that sparked off the posting of videos and photos onto facebook, which many of us are using almost everyday. for me, facebook was created to unite my platoon mates. now it has grown to another avenue for us to share photos and to get connected with schoolmates.
class outing at sentosa. as usual, more photos and videos. guess everyone of us enjoyed the event, though some left early. such an event was a great contrast as compared to last year, when all of us had our own cliques and did nt really mix well. come this year, the bond grew stronger and the cliques start to join up as a whole gang. do u feel the same way as i do?
traded in my old jeans for my first levi's at S$59.90.
