Black Friday

It was the last day of school for this week. No chemistry class. The German students from Deutsche Schule Kuala Lumpur came to INTEC to give some presentations and have an interactive session with us. Well, it was a very light, relaxing and enjoying lesson for me. Unfortunately, the day turn out to be a bad day for me. Since the class finished at 12 p.m., I decided to stay back in library to do my revision on physics. USUALLY I WOULD GO BACK TO HOSTEL RIGHT AWAY. WELL, THIS TIME WAS UNUSUAL...

When I reached my hostel at 4.30 p.m., to my horror, my laptop on my desk was gone! I should have locked it. I should not have stayed back in library. I should have come back earlier... Everything was too late when I confirmed that my laptop was stolen. Same thing happened to Mike's laptop and Esmond's mobile phone and some money. Let me put the incident in chronological order:

12.00 p.m. Esmond and Mike went back to hostel (Kolej Cemara, Section 18) while I stayed back in library.
03.00p.m. Mike went to play badminton.
03.30p.m. Esmond fell asleep.
04.30p.m. I reached hostel and found out the burglary.
04.50p.m. We reported it to the guards on duty. They said that they could not help much as we don't have any suspect and the door was not locked when the burglary happened.
06.00p.m. We went to Police Station in Section 15 to lodge a report. After printing out the report, we were asked to look for a sarjan in-charged in Section 11.
07.40p.m. We reached Section 11 Shah Alam Police Headquarters after walking for a whole round somewhere near Blue Wave Hotel.
08.00p.m. We board T602 to Section 2. Starving...
08.25p.m. Reached Section 2 and had our dinner there.
09.10p.m. Reached hostel. Exhausting! My plan to play badminton was ruined.

Below are parts of our conversation with the sarjan which I could not forget:

Sarjan to Esmond: "Berapa harga handphone mu yang hilang?"
Esmond: "500 ratus semasa beli."
Sarjan: "Sudah berapa lama?"
Esmond: "1 tahun."
Sarjan: "Oh, sekarang sudah sangat murah, harga second-hand cuma 1 ratus."

Was he trying to joke in order to alleviate our sadness?

Sarjan to me: "Apakah tujuan kamu membuat report?"
Me: "Tangkap pencuri itu."
Sarjan: "You tere (pandai), dapat tangkap pencuri itu?"
Me: " Tak, sebab tu buat report."

Okay, if I am so good that I could catch the thief, I would not have to lodge a police report. Anyway, I don't think there is hope to get my laptop back.

Now, I am in a dilemma. My laptop is gone, and I am still bonded to Digi Internet. Should I terminate the service and pay for the modem fee or pay the bill without using the service until I get my new laptop.
