A Happening Day (Story)

On 15 Dec, a group of us decided to go for a break! A break to Malacca for a day outing.
It was a fun filling day, where 3 cars sped at different speeds, but all looked out for each other in close view.

Like the HK promotion, we eat and shop, eat and shop. First to the Nonya restaurant for our lunch, then before we decided to cheong for our seafood dinner, we took a breather at one HK cafe. At the start of the journey, we went with empty hands but in the end, you would know we came back with tons of bags. Clothes, shoes, Christian stuff & FRUITS! Yes, cannot believe right? Well, we are talking about shopping leh..so what's new?

After travelling on the road for almost 3 hours, we decided to pump petrol at the kiosk before heading for our dinner. Then something terrible happened. One of us was robbed right at the kiosk & the robber sped off in a motorbike within split seconds. We learnt that it is a common thing in that area. How come the security is so lapse since this is rampant? I wondered.
Since passports were lost, we have to file for police report. If not, the family would not be able to return back home. The amazing thing is that it took us almost 30 mins to find one police station & it was not even outstanding at all. I really wondered!
By the time we finished everything & crossed over to home immigration, it was almost 11. We were farmished, but who cares. Everyone just wanna get back home asap.

What an episode to end the day outing!
Great lessons to be learnt:
  • Never think that such things will not happen to you.
  • Be watchful & careful at all times.
  • Lock the car door regardless if there is passenger or not.

Most of all, thank God for His protection.
