Excursion to the Fire Station

It's a Saturday morning and i'm working. Hahah! No I am not complaining at all. Instead, I've enjoyed every minute of it. Yup, the kids had an excursion to the nearby Fire Station and I'm blessed indeed to accompany them. For 2 hours, the children enjoyed themselves basking under the hot sun doing lots of things. They get to sit and ride on the red rhino, blast the water hose, sit in the ambulance and the best part of all is take the CPL, where the ladder extends up to 10 storeys high to save victims from burning buildings. At the end of the excursion, they get cute little red fireman's hat to bring back. The kids love that! The trip is soo exciting. Ok ok, maybe I have a little kid's soul inside me to have said that.

Fire Station and the CPL crane thingy (i think that's what's it's called)


Going up up and away! The wind is strong up there.


An aerial view of the surroundings. I got a lift too. =)


The view from up there. Coming down already! Next is a ride on the red rhino.


Wiuuuuuu wiuuuuuu wiuuuuu wiuuuuuu wiuuuuuuu! To the rescue!


This is an ambulance.

Kids playing with the water hose. Oh wish I could stand in front of the spraying water on this hot day!


That's the end of the excursion. These abang-abang CD need to get back to more serious work now.

Karma has taken place last night.

We went to Kak Mai's new crib last night. Congrats Mai and Fahmy on their very nice home! It's gorgeous, especially your bedroom and the jacuzzi. After the house warming, me and Hon booked tickets to watch Confessions of a Shopaholic at midnight. Suddenly, my stomach felt queasy, like needles poking every sides of your stomach. I was in cold sweat. I thought I would be ok after sitting down for a short while but the pain was unbearable. Must be something stale I had eaten a while before. The movie was starting in 10 minutes and I was crouching so badly in my seat. Hon had already bought hotdog and drinks. I had puked out all my food in the toilet before this. Hon asked if I wanted to go home. So I nodded my head and Hon immediately threw away and dumped the uneaten hotdog and drink into the dustbin outside and held my hand. We took a cab home and.....something happened (refer below). I was still in cold sweat. We missed the whole movie and wasted $30 just like that. I am OK now.

Once we were home, Hon began frantically searching for his iPhone. I was getting ready to shower when Hon tapped on the door in a sad voice i've never heard before. "hon... my phone..... hon...... my phone....I think... it dropped out of my pocket.... in the cab! Hon.... how? All my work documents are in there.. my sales figures... oh no.... all the confidential things..... hon.... help... it's my iPhone!" Hon quickly called his number using my phone... I dunno why but i was crying, looking at the situation. No one answered. He tried and tried again... and no one answered. I quickly call Comfort lost and found dept.. but that bloody dept is only opened during weekday office hours. I wanted to start filling in the lost items report on their website. In my heart, I prayed to God, "Dear God. Pls let the cab driver be a kind soul and return my hubby's iPhone. Just like how I returned Jenny's handphone that was lost in the cab the other time.(Refer here )" Suddenly, there is a 'hello...' on other line that Hon called. It was the cab driver!! Hon quickly asked him to meet under the block and luckily he is a kind soul. He returned Hon's iPhone!!!!!! Thank God. Hon gave him a Nike jacket as a token of appreciation. Thank you Honest cab driver.

So many things ran in my mind. Just like the scene in Benjamin Button. If only i didn't have that stomach ache, we wouldn't be in that cab. If only I didn't eat the food i ate, I wouldn't have gotten the stomach ache. If only we watched the movie, we wouldn't have gone home in that cab. If only we left from Kak Mai's house earlier, I would have cleared my stomach and be better just in time for the movie. Hmmm...... are things happening for a reason? It's Hon's iPhone for crying out loud.. Every single personal and confidential information is inside. His work especially. And at that hour, the cab driver could've picked up another passenger who might be dishonest and sell his iPhone for $1000+. So many things could have happen. But did not. Why? Is it Karma taking place?

At that moment, I heaved a sigh of relief.

Told you so. Good begets Good.
