Got Burgled

Minutes before the plane landed on Thursday (05/12) morning, I spotted the majestic Mt Kinabalu sitting there to welcome us home. One Chinese tourist seated behind me said, "Hey, check out that odd looking cloud. It looks like a mountain!" That group obviously didn't know about our not so little beauty. LOL. After touching down, I truly felt like I was lucky to be home. That was probably the first time I called Sabah home.

That homely feeling didn't last long. My brother came to pick us up from the airport. He wasted no time in dropping a bombshell. Our home was burgled on Monday (02/12). The idiots took away only one item containing mostly stuff that will one day belong to me. OK, I understand that no one could be interested in our old tvs but the idiots didn't remove anything else. The whole story stinks and I was immediately suspicious.

At this stage, I am still feeling somewhat angry at what had happened. I lost the little world that I was used to 2.5 years ago. Now someone had come along to rip away things put away for when I get married. OK so I am not getting married anytime soon but I feel violated that my possessions were taken away just like that. Like the X who didn't give me much of an option a little over 2 years ago, these things were ripped away when I least expected it. Now I know how travellers feel when they come home to learn that they have been robbed while they were away.

I am suspicious about the whole thing. I am observing the behaviours of a couple of people but I have no tangible proof as yet to help the local coppers catch the idiots. They probably wouldn't bother to do much. Such is life. Some people work hard to accumulate wealth. Others just snatch whatever they need or want from wherever.

Instead of asking why me or estimating how much more has to be taken off me to punish myself, I try to turn to hope. I continue reading a book by Nick Vujicic to give me comfort. I also keep reminding myself that 2014 will be a good year. I could make things happen if I just stick to my plans.

If you read my blog and if you like what I have written, drop me a comment. Give me encouragement to keep going. Thank you.
