SNATCH THIEF ON A MOTORCYCLE

Something happened when I was on my way to work this morning. For your info, our staff carpark is not attached to the office building. Instead, it is a short walk away.

After I got down from my car, I noticed that there’s a motorcyclist who was riding very slowly beside the parking area and was watching me at the same time. He moved on after a while, so I thought perhaps he’s just a passerby. I continued walking, not suspecting anything. But as I approached the ‘metal chain’ to cross the road, I saw him there at the corner waiting! I couldn’t see him earlier because he was hidden by a Kembara parked at the corner.

I came to a halt as I saw him, wondering what was it that he wanted. I looked at him and he looked back at me, and I realized it’s my handbag that he’s after. He was just waiting for me to cross the road so that he could snatch my handbag and speed off.

Luckily at that time, two fellow colleagues were walking towards my direction. One from the left and another from the back. I think he realized that he’s not going to get what he wanted as I wouldn’t move and there were also people approaching. So eventually, he rode off.

Just for the record, he’s wearing a tinted shield helmet with sunglasses and dark colour jacket – totally unrecognizable, provided if someone can remember his plate number.

It pays to be fully alert of your surrounding at all times. You'll never know what's gonna happen in the world these days.

BACK TO MEMORY LANE - PART 2

Several months went on, except for this particular day which I must mention - not to be missed out. Because it was the first time ever that I've actually spoken to B.

One particular day, me and S decided to crash into a Math class conducted by a different lecturer from ours - because we heard that he's good, not like ours who only seemed to be speaking his own alien language, leaving everybody clueless and all we can see was the endless scribbling on the whiteboard and flashing of slides.

Anyway, back to the class we crashed. As we walked in, we can see that the class was full with practically no seats left. We were like "Oops, this is awkward" when suddenly we noticed a familiar face, B, who was sitting on his own because his buddies decided to skip class that day to do some last minute revision for a test later. By the way, heard that B is a genius, which explained why he still went to class.

Well, remember in Part 1 when B smiled to me after class one day and I was like "Er, ok..."? Yeah, so we tried hard looking for seats to avoid any possible awkward situation. At that time, he had noticed and was already smiling to us. ;P

Then the lecturer walked in and the class started to settle and we have not found a place to sit. So the seats beside B seemed pretty much like the only option. And after some quick discussion with S, we decided that ok, let's just sit with B, no choice.

I walked first, and half way through, I turned back to look at S and guess what? She had went off to the other direction and had taken a seat somewhere else, and left me there on my own. Out of courtesy and of course lacking in time, I had to sit down beside B. I turned to S, gave her the 'just you wait look' and she was there laughing all the way through class.

So I was there stuck with B, and he happily introduced himself and made small talks. And of course, S was watching and laughing to herself - enjoying the show.

An hour never seemed so long... And I can't wait to go. B was down with flu and he had forgotten to bring his hanky along. His nose started running and he was sniffing hard and wiping away with his hands. I looked into my bag to offer him some tissue, which I've always brought with me. But too bad, I ran out. So I had to just sit there and pretend as if nothing happens and return his occasional smiles, when in actual fact, I was like "Eww..."

One thing I found out though and rather impressed. B definitely has something in his brain, like what I've heard. The lecturer would be working on the solutions on the whiteboard and before he could finish, B would have the answers - without having to write anything on the paper, everything was working in the brain. Boy, was I impressed!

So this was what I derived from the Math class : Eww + Brainy = B

Anyway, as the class ended, we said bye and went our separate ways. Yes, you guessed it right - S got a good scolding from me for being such a 'great friend'.

This chapter marked the begining of Part 3.

ROLEX WATCH

I had the privilege to see a Rolex Oyster Perpetual GMT-Master II up close and actually touch it - at work today.

To most of you, you would think "So? It's just another watch with a brand."

Well, yeah, so? That's my point! It's just so ordinary, just like any other watches - superficially of course, not taking into account whatever special function that it has. But the outlook is still no big deal. But it costs a whopping RM15,000.00! And that is after corporate discount, mind you. Imagine how much you can do with that amount of money!

To be fair, I gave it a closer look to perhaps justify the price.

Touch : The metal feels the same to me. No significant difference.

Weight : Not extra heavy or extra light.

Looks : As mentioned above, normal.

So call me realistic or whatever that you deem suitable, but it still does not justify the RM15,000.00! Well for now, at least. But even if when the time comes that I can afford this as a necessity [Dream on!], I don't think I would make this kind of purchases. I would rather use the money for other purposes. ;P Of course I would not refuse this as a gift though... [**HINT** Darling... Hehehee...]

All things said, it is still up to individuals to decide as to which brand of watches that would suit their tastes and lifestyles better. So if there's anybody related to Rolex in any way that is reading this right now, don't sue me! This is not an attempt to influence anyone on their purchases or anything like that. Just a personal opinion from a little lady. Hehehee...

BACK TO MEMORY LANE

Ok, I remember making a promise that I think I should keep - on how it all started between me and my hubby. We shall call him "B" here.

In one of my previous blog, I mentioned that B is my college sweetheart. Well in actual fact, not really... ;P [Contradiction, contradiction!] Wait!! Before you go any further, let me explain.

We met in college, that's for sure. But we were just plain friends when we were studying together. Things only sparked off when he switched to another college. So that way, I don't think he really fits into the term 'college sweetheart'. But still in some sense, he is? What-te-verr... I know I am starting to sound very confused! ;D

Anyway, to be honest, I don't remember when exactly B joined the class. But I started to notice when he smiled to me after class one day. At that time, I was like "Er, ok..." And that's about it. Never really say 'hi' or anything like that. All I know is that there's someone like that in the class.

So I guess you can tell, it was definitely not love at first sight! ;D At least not on my side of the story!
