Snatch Thief

It happened today at about 2.15pm..

I was sitting at my desk doing my paper work when suddenly I heard a loud shout. I got up and saw the old lady in shock and the old man was beside him. I quickly got outside the shop and tried to catch a glimpse of the snatch thief.

But he was nowhere to be seen. The old man was holding the gold necklace and told me that he had managed to stop the snatching by snatching back.

That was great but he regretted that the gold pendant was gone. So I turned to the old lady and asked her to see if it had dropped inside her blouse. None.

So I checked her handbag and bingo..it was lying neatly on the zip of the bag.

My..at least she didn't lose her necklace and pendant. Thanks to the old man.

Since the old lady was still in shock, I offered her a bottle of 100 plus. After a short while, she recovered from the shock and they left.



Here's the video clip from our cctv.

    The old man was very brave. This is indeed a very scary experience for anybody. Nowadays they snatch cameras and handphones too, so we've gotta be careful when out in the streets.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
