Once again, we headed down to Bugis again. Went there for a lil shopping spree. Now that it's the holiday season and I'm finally studies-free, it kinda released the shopaholic in me. I bought a skirt and this short purple cardigan that's all the rage right now. I think it's called the bolero.

Stupid me. We're leaving Singapore on Wednesday not Sunday. Guess I just can't wait for a lil vacation. LOL. And there's the Y.E.S. ( Year-end sale) in KL. *pops*

Back to Bugis. The finale of the day was when my sis realised she lost her wallet. Hmmm, I guess it's a pickpocket. My guess was it happened when we were crossing the road. There's this lil road junction( platform) where we crossed over to Parco. That's what I'd call 'The Island'. On a busy Saturday, everybody was packed on 'The Island', amongst much shuffling and shoving. And my sis was spilling all her peanuts from her 'crispy min chiam kuey' all over my back. With two lines of people opposite one another waiting to cross the road, it looked like a scene from 'Gladiator' or 'The battle of Mordor' in Lord of the Rings. Heck. With a boiling sun beating down on us, it just wasn't fun. Did anybody faint on 'The Island' while waiting to cross the road? I wonder. Well, that would be the opportune moment to strike, if I'm a pickpocket. LOL. So many people squeezed on 'The Island' it was like a herd of animals getting to the watering hole opposite.

Well, we couldn't find a police post nearby. And my mum was pretty pissed by then, and she kept repeating " See lar so careless. Told you to hold the bag like that, LIKE THAT( upon saying this, she attempted to do a lil demo on the CORRECT way to hold a bag to prevent being a victim of a pickpocket)." She repeated it over and over again, it pretty much sounded like a broken recorder of sorts. My sis was crying, and my cousin and I were looking at each other, sandwiched in between. We really looked like a motley crew, standing by the road, waiting for a cab to take us to the Yishun Police Post.

Being in the Police Post was a pretty weird experience. So while my mum and sis were reporting their case to the policeman ( whom my cousin proclaimed was pretty hot), we watched TV, a SEA games table tennis match. We had to smile the whole time so that we wouldn't look like a bunch of juvenile criminals from the outside. There was some deco for Hari Raya I reckon, hmmm I guess they can spray some snowspray with 'Merry Christmas' on their glass panel. It would look really uber cool. LOL.

For the next few mins or so, we entertained ourselves by watching this policeman playing with a funny-looking stray cat outside. Well, the eveyday life of a policeman. Snazzy.

We went on to report loss of ATM card in a POSB branch. My mum reported it thru a phone outside. How cool is that. Now you have machines to do the job. LOL. Talk about mechanisation. Hmmm. But guess we'll have to go to the SIR building on Monday, cuz' one of the missing items was the access card( which works like an E-Z Link card at the causeway), and we were leaving on Wednesday.

Hmm. It really was a helluva day for us. Guess it was pretty good training for stamina, especially when we're gonna work our calf muscles in the Y.E.S. sale in KL. Charge!!!
