Shock Horror

Yesterday Sophia Tsen told me she would drop by my office today so that I can help her to courier something.


Today I decided to bring the ‘Mi Goreng’ Jumbo size in a small plastic bag to work in order to pass to her from Andrew Chan.


When I was at work, I took out the plastic bag from my bag and put it on the mobile desktop below my work desk.


Tonight while I was taking my sweet time during dinnertime, mum was telling me to wash up after I had eaten because the maid had gone next door to look after the kids. Just as she finished telling me what to do, I suddenly remembered the plastic bag at work.


My imaginations ran wild with images of the packets of noodles strewn everywhere courtesy of the rat/s we have not managed to catch yet.


I did not finish my dinner and told mum I would wash up after going out for a while. I quickly dashed out and thanked God the office is only 4 km away. I needed to get to the plastic bag before the pest/s does/do.


So barely 90mins after I left the office, I was back there again. I was so relieved when I saw that the plastic bag was left untouched.


I was also glad I went back because in the midst of rushing to go home, I forgot to switch off the water pump; and also to put out the traps to catch the rat/s out at the staircase.
