No matter how much time and effort you try
to find a lost item, you can never find it. But when you stop trying,
it will mysteriously appear. Have you ever
encountered this before?
I have. Many times. I consider that lucky although
my law lecturer from Uni thought otherwise. During the last revision
class before the final exam, he said "good luck folks! Although luck
has little to do with it". Well, if it's not luck, i think it's fate
then....
Sometimes i do wonder, if lost item will eventually mysteriously appear
when we
are not trying, i
don't understand why we need to try so hard in the first place.
Ok,
please ignore my nonsense haha... if we don't even try, I guess we will
never be able to find it, even if it's right before our eyes. Gosh, i
don't know why sometimes i can be so full of rubbish wisdom!......
My friends visited Kuching in July. As I was the host (and a very
responsible one), I had to take very good care of them and also showed
them the best of the very best of what we have here. I'm glad that they
enjoyed
it and love my humble
little town. 2 days before their departure (and mine too as I decided
to tag along to play with them in KL and Singapore), I couldn't find my
car key and remote control for the alarm system. The worse part is, the
car was parked at the car park. But the fortunate thing about the
unfortunate event is that, the car was parked near the hotel entrance.
At
least there were Angels (aka security officers) watching over it.
I didn't dare telling my parents. They would kill me if I lost the car!
So I searched hi and lo,
walked back to every possible places, asked the hotel receptionists,
security guards, cleaners, waitresses, managers, random people working
in the shopping mall, cafes, restaurants, hotels etc. I guess you get
the
idea. I TRIED all possible ways to locate my keys and for two days,
they were no where to be seen. When the hotel receptionists saw me
every time i passed by the lobby,
they shook their heads without me asking them! Haha, yes, that's how
HARD i tried.
I imagined my poor keys lying somewhere in the dark corner waiting to
be discovered. I even hoped they came to my dreams at night to ask for
help! Sigh, IF only they could send me
some signals!
On the day of my departure, my car was still at the car park without
any keys. worrying that it would be gone when I'm back from KL/
Singapore after 4 days, I asked the officer at the hotel to tell their
colleagues to help watching over my car, making sure that no one drove
it off. If so, please call the police for me.
I think I must have done
something good in my past lives because the officer came up with a
brilliant idea!
ta- da
They clamped the tire of my car!
I felt so relieved because my car would definitely be safe while I was
away having fun hehe...
Am so thankful for the kind people around!
Guess what happened after that? Did i get lucky or is it fate?

i know how u feel...once i lost my hard disk with all of my data inside including all the precious photos... i was so afraid that people might misuse it because i do have personal data in the hard disk... i called airline co, my thai colleagues, the hotel and all came back with negative answer...
i even terminated my credit card because it has my cc info... when i thought i have to accept the fact that all data is lost...i found my hard disk at the very corner of my backpack @_@
you wouldnt know how happy i was!!
at least you found your hard disk after going thru so much hassles.
for me, no luck, it's fate :(
Wah~ didn't know this, so until now u didn't find your key? U don't have any spare key?
Must say the hotel staff had done a brilliant job.
I always have this problem too and share the same thought with you.
Haha, lj, today you marathon hia?
I didn't have spare key and remote control T___T
when i called the mechanic, he told me to prepare myself for the worse coz this car is very particular. he has a client who has the same car and also lost his key and one year later, it's still locked because the car manufacturer has shut down and the car is electronically locked. the security is tight but not so good when you are against yourself.
my heart sank when i heard this. so that means my car is actually unusable although everything is still good? gosh, my parents are gonna kill me for this! Just when i was praying in my heart, the mechanic asked me what model is my car. the fortunate thing about the unfortunate event is that, my car is an OLDER model thus no such electronic lock!
I gladly paid $200 to get 2 new keys made. Thank goodness!
my car was set free after almost 10 days. hehe
poor car
still a good news though! spending rm200 rather than lose a car+ get scolded! hee hee!
