Can things get any worse?

So my life has taken a turn for the worse since the last post.

My handphone was stolen on Monday. And I haven't been myself ever since. So many memories, SMS's, pictures. Plus the fact that I can't get a new phone now, cos without signing on for a new plan, the prices are ridiculous. And I've lost all my contact numbers as well. Completely incommunicado.

And what irks me out is the fact that another human being could have such complete disregard for another person's property, and the fact that handphones to most people, are more than lifelines. The cost of having to replace the phone, the pain of losing messages and memories, the trouble of being out of contact. But owells, no point harping over spilt milk.

And I'm eternally grateful to Andy, who lent me his 6510 for now. He even said it was ok for me to bring it to Switzerland, so it'll be his most well-travelled phone yet! :) Lifesaver

And my nose is leaking like a deranged faucet now. Crikey, just the best time to get sick. A week before the exams. I have the luck of a black cat under a ladder.

Well, at least through all this I've truly seen how much people care. The gratefulness and comfort for such kindess is just a wonderful feeling, through such adversity. Makes everything so much more bearable. Especially on Monday, when I felt like the star in one of those primary school compositions: "The worst day of my life". The one where you wake up late, step out of the house and it's raining cats and dogs, get splashed by a bus that doesn't even stop to pick you up, lose your handphone, quarrel with someone you care so much about... Ha yes it all happened to me. Those 24 hours never seemed longer.

'Cause on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me
From myself
And I won't forget
The way you loved me
On the way down
Almost fell right through
But I held onto you

I was so afraid
Of going under
But now the weight of the world
Feels like nothing, no, nothing
