but from what i recall there's nth there.
macau = memorable incident = i lost my phone
here it goess..
went for breakfast, left at 9.40 am to catch the shuttle bus which leaves at 10.00aM
managed to hop on the bus, and headed to the jetty.
sat at the last row(right) , next to the window, with bro
msg-ed jw on the way.
reached jetty and from what i remember, I PLACED MY PHONE IN MY BAG.
walked towards NEW YAOHAN
but decided to take the cab to this shopping area.
hopped on the cab and headed towards our destination
didnt use my phone the whole journey as cousin and i were talking non-stop.
reached our destination, looked for mum and the rest.
found them, went into ESPRIT, and shopped!
tried on clothes, recalled not taking out my phone.
went to the counter, paid and left.
crossed the road, decided to split up to save time.
bro and i headed to STARBUCKS.
ordered drinks, collected them and went over to get straws.
from what i remembered, i was holding my phone.
left starbucks, headed to BALENO. mum was there!
bought socks. i stood outside cuz no drinks allowed = . =
headed to quick silver. bro and cousins went in to look for stuffs.
bros bought wallet and shirt while cousin bought wallet.
meanwhile i went opposite to buy MACAU'S FAMOUS PORK CHOP BURGER 猪扒包
mom gave me money.
i left them on the table to let the staff get himself cuz it was really hard to identify.
took the change, waited for my food and collected it.
aunts and cousins went over to a shop to buy local MACAU's t-shirts.
brought grandma-s there, bought clothes and left!
headed over to catch cabs to head back to the jetty.
reached the jetty.
3 out of 4 cabs were there.
the last cab wasnt there, and so we decided to call to ask where they were.
this was where i realised i lost my phone
opened my bag to get my phone to call my bro, but realised it was missing!
i checked and re-checked but still wasnt there, my bag wasnt big btw.
checked my shopping bags. it wasnt there!
checked my pockets, nth there, only a bag of skittles!
went across the road to meet up with the rest and look for the bus.
met bro asked him if he has my phone, he said no.
told him not to fool around (which he usually does) as i was panicking!
he said NO and his face doesnt seem like he was joking
only then i realised i really lost my phone!
used mum's phone, called my number.!
RING, disconnected.
RING, disconnected.
RING, disconnected.

it went on and on!
it seems like someone disconnected the phone.
i sent 3 text msg-s asking the "PERSON" to pick up the phone call and return my phone.
tried calling again.
still no pick up, and disconnected after it rang once.
had no choice but to hop on the bus and head back to the hotel
- it was the same bus i took this morning -
i checked the seats but nth was there.
so i decided to keep trying. still same response.
the whole journey i kept calling and calling
i decided to head back to Macau Peninsula, where the shopping area was, and go to every shops i went to see if they found anything there.
cousin and bro accompanied me
first stop. ESPRIT.
headed to the cashier counter. asked them, they said they didnt see anything.
went to the fitting rooms, checked every single one. staffs were really helpful. they helped check the rooms and their reactions told me that they didnt see anything.
left.
second stop. STARBUCKS.
like what i said, i recall leaving my phone there.
went to the counter, asked the staffs if they've seen my phone cuz i left it there.
STAFF asked OTHER STAFFS if they've seen it in a SELAMBA manner.
GIRL'S INSTINCT
II
SOMEONE MUST HAVE SEEN IT AND TOOK IT BUT DOESNT WANNA ADMIT!
not only me. cousin's instinct and bro's instinct too tells that one of the staff took it.
we tried everything we could to ask the staffs to co-operate. they still denied.
staff suggested to call the police cuz we wanted to search the staffs.
called dad (back in msia), ask for his advice, and he said let the police handle it.
OK. SET. call the police then.
meanwhile, went to the shop where i bought the PORK CHOP BURGER.
cousin said that she saw me at that time and didnt see me carrying anything on my hand.
tried asking the staffs, they didnt see anything.
went back starbucks. police was there. fyi, police was HAWT!!
Questions asked.
US: can he search the staffs? NO. because it's not their policy and it's a public area.
US: can we have a look at the cctv? NO. because usually they dont record it. they install it for the sake of installing. but the staff said it was for audit purpose. if it doesnt record, what use has it?
PL: are you sure you left it here? YES.
PL: what tells u the staffs took it? From their reaction when we asked them of course.
PL: meaning, you FEEL that they took it? SORT OF.
Police then said that we had insufficient evidence to prove taht the staffs took it. furthermore, the cctvv-s did not record any past events, and it was a public area. it may be the customers who took it, and he has no rights to search or whatsover.
disappointed.
then he asked, 你地要追究吗？
then we asked, 如果我地追究， 你会返伲调查吗？
he said, 毋会。
disappointed again.
then no point 追究!
means, there's nth i could do!
sad!
disappointment x 3
but i can still lodge a report and claim back since i bought an insurance for my phone ^ . ^
policeman walked us to the nearest 警察局 to 保安.
tired sial!!
reached 警察局, didn't bring passport.
potong stim!!
disappointed kao kao
cant do anything. but but, could lodge the report at airport! *happy*
called dad, dad said forget bout macau, report back at kl.
cuz cuz
at macau, i only get a 报失纸
and wit that i cant claim, cuz i can only claim if my phone was stolen not lost = . =
headed back to hotel.
meanwhile asked mum to ask the tour guide to ask hotel's reception to see if they found anything on the shuttle bus.
reached hotel. headed up to the room. waited for mum and cousin. went in to the room.
sad sial. lost my phone at macau, last day summore. and few hours before we leave to the airport.
