Devastated!

It could have been another nice day but one unwanted happening spoilt the whole day not only for me but those around me, especially the owner of the car.

Somewhere around 5.30pm, I was told that someone smashed the driver seat’s glass pane and like many cases – stole the CD player. I believe the thief took other things inside the car besides the CD player since he said other things were missing as well.

Of course he was devastated, slamming the door over and over whenever he opened it. His car was still considered new - around 1 month old only. Imagine how a parent to the child would react if something bad befall on their one month old child. Anyone would definitely be devastated unless he or she is a stone-hearted being.

At first, it is Swinburne to be blamed for this happening as they did not chose to construct the car park first but the hostels instead. But then, this is not entirely the fault of Swinburne as they had already provided parking space somewhere in Kenyalang area (there are only a few cars even though they had vast parking space).

Many complained that it is troublesome to park over there and rather take the risk to park their cars in the unguarded slots around Swinburne. Anyway, this is a friendly reminder that everyone had seen or heard countless times – take your precious belongings with you, the management will not be held responsible for any loss. Someone once said that humans will not heed one’s words of advice until they experienced it themselves.

Let us open our eyes and keep a lookout for the thieves to clear this zone from unwanted happenings, should that not be possible, it might at least help in reducing thievery cases in the long run. Helping others is like helping yourself, you might not get your favor returned, but our Father in heaven will definitely return your deeds, both good and bad.

The damage has been done. As if that wasn’t enough, he had two tests in Saturday from 8.30am to 12.30pm. Let us give him our word of encouragement shall we? It is not the number but the sincerity of one that counts.
