wrong bike

Yesterday, an Indian customer came to buy some stuff from our shop. He used to park his bike right in front of our shop.

After settling his bill, he walked out and he was shocked as he couldn't find his bike. Apparently someone had ridden away his bike. But how the heck that person could use his bike as it was locked! His key was still with him. 

All he could do was to wait. After a short while, his bike came back. Someone was ridding it. It was a Chinese man. He returned the bike and apologized profusely. Seemed he had thought that was his bike. Furthermore, his key could start the bike. He presumed it was his until he came to a junction. He realised something was wrong with that bike. There was no basket fixed to the bike! His very own bike has a basket!

Immediately he realised that he must have ridden the wrong bike.

Everyone had a good laugh. So later my staff bought 4D and guess what? The number came out as consolation prize! Wow!

Guess luck has came to our shop as a disguise..

Well, I would like to announce my top three regular commenters. All in, I have 29 posts in October not including this post.

They are Small Kucing, SK and Yan!

Congratulations!

      This incident makes me recall of my own encounter.

      I used to ride my mom's bicycle to buy newspaper from nearby stall. Once I rode the wrong bicycle and realized it halfway! Had returned it back to the owner (whom was the newspaper vendor) with red face, hahaha!

      Sometimes it just happens when we are in a hurry. I experienced once when I tried to put my key into a keyhole which belonged to another car but exactly the same color and made. Furthermore it's parked just beside me.. :)

    Did the owner buy some 4D and win himself extra cash?

      My dad was nearly scolded by an aunty, who thought my dad wanted to steal her bike. My dad quickly apologized to her and explained to her that he had mistakenly thought it was his bike.

    i mean in normal circumstance, when somebody lost his bike, for sure the first thing is to make a police report rather than still calm and chit chatting with you~~ :D

    hmmm, i really wonder how different key can open the same lock?? or perhaps that means they bought the same lock that comes with the same key??

  12. [SK]October 31, 2012 at 11:08 AM

    OMG, that means not all the keys and locks are unique.. especially those mass production ones.. i thot they are supposed to have as many combination of the key as possible?? or just happened that they both are so coincidentally chose the exact identical one~~ :D

    Guess when the bikes get older any key could start off the engine. Like I saw a case the lorry driver using a screw driver to start the engine haha. The Chinese man must have drank lots of Oolong tea haha..Congratz to the winners.

Twin bananas

Image
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..
