Hello there. I am Terry and I am a full-time undergraduate based in Singapore. I take photos, write a blog and design websites.

And no, I'm not a teddy bear.

Lost & Found

Where's my phone? OMG!

This is the first thought that raced through my tired brain after a night of fun with the junior class at Ms Clarity Cafe. I reached the bus stop and when I was about to start walking back I realised my pockets were exceptionally light. I touched it and found that my bukly Nokia 6610i has gone missing.

Spare me the rhetorics. I am completely aware that the phone is an antique but getting it back is of utmost importance since that phone meant a lot to me and also, mom would kill me if I lose it she warned me earlier the trouses I'm wearing have shallow pockets.

I called my phone. It's ringing, but no one picked it up. Means most probably it's not stolen since if it really was the freaking theif would have ended the call immediately. Called mom for SOS and asked her to help me bar the phoneline just in case some foreigner picked it up and starts a frenzy of calling oversea numbers (and I would have died by looking at the phone bill next month).

Barring the phone means… if someone picks it up he might throw away because either he can't contact the owner or he thinks the phone is useless now. Before mom barred it I immediately sent an SMS to my phone informing anyone who might pick it up about the situation and asked him to contact my roommate.

Thank God at 2am I got a call from this person with really weird accent. He told me that he picked up my phone. Being too tired (oh my you wouldn't want to know how crazy that outing to Ms Clarity Cafe was) I told him that if possible I will collect the phone from him today and he agreed. I ended the call and… went back to lalaland.

Woke up at 1pm (stop calling me sleeping beauty since I was damn tired :D ) and called the person.

Meet @ Queen Street Terminal, 4.40pm 

I was like… okay. Initially I was pretty worried since today is April Fool, he's a guy and he might want to extort me or something. Worse still if he asks me to go to his house to get my phone. *Goosebumps* Since the bus terminal is a pretty crowded place I immediately agreed, fearing that he might change his mind.

Reached there at 4.30pm and saw this guy staring at me. He asks me whether I lost my phone and I said yes. He directed me to the SBS office at the terminal. Oh. He's a bus captain! I've been thinking WAY TOO MUCH haha thanks to my CRAZY IMAGINATIONS :razz: So I signed some documents and wrote some compliments (so that he can get promoted or something) and ticked all the boxes indicating "Excellent" which descriptions I don't bother to read.

Before I left I said thank you (which is like the 100th time saying) and peered at the bus captain's name tag. I didn't get a really good look but this is his name:

Ahmad Bakti Bin Wahran

Thank you so much for returning my phone! 

16 hours without a phone. And luckily I got to back. Phew. And luckily it's not an April Fool scam!

    I lost my SGD$400 phone in the CHS auditorium and nobody returned it to me… (ie. it got stolen). This proves that the higher your education is, the more bankrupt your morals are.

Your name is required. Why?

  • So that I can address you personally (which I'm more than happy to do).
  • Everyone loves their name to be called, right? Nobody wants to be referred to as 'a certain someone' or Mr X (X-Men members aside).
  • If your post too much spam, your name will be imprinted on a personalised voodoo doll, completely free of charge. I'm just joking!

Your email is needed. Why?

  • Your email is, and will, never be given out to any third party under any conditions (except for people sneaking up behind me when I'm on WP admin).
  • So that I can contact you personally in case of certain issues that I wish to address personally.
  • If you post too much spam, I'll email the same spam you've posted 10 times back to you, completely free of charge.

You can always leave a personal URL behind

  • It can be anything - most people put their blog URL, their facebook page, their Twitter URL, their MySpace or etc.
  • I give love back by saying NO to no-follow. All of your webbie links are dofollows instead.

Twitter. Twitter. Twitter.

  • What is Twitter?: Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length.
  • What is my Twitter ID?: To get a Twitter ID, you simply have to sign up for an account at Twitter.com. Your ID will be in the format of your profile's URL - http://twitter.com/[userid].

Hello Easter Egg hunter! You've discovered the magic of the Konami Code!

Yea. You probably know what the Konami code is before getting to this page. So now what? Here is a randomised YouTube video on my favourites list... which includes Rickroll, if you're luck enough to get it.

You are currently watching Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten. Loving it? You can even watch the video in its full screen glory :)
