Radio Robbed

On the 26th of April, a Thursday morning, I lazily walked to my car for yet another day of college. But lo and behold, when I went to my driving seat i realised that there were glass shards on the seat. My eyes then bounced off the glass shards to notice that my entire radio had been (very barbarically, mind you) ripped out and my glove compartment was open and my SmartTag was gone. I then quickly rushed over to my front passengers seat window to face this sad sight.




This event happened right in front of my house the night before. Our garage doesn't have enough space for 4 cars, so as a result, my car the unlucky 4th, is left right outside.



I guess what's strange is that none of us heard the car alarm sound. The other pity of the whole event is that my car was parked on the left side of the house's front gate and thus the CCTV on the right didn't catch anything at all.



Fortunately, despite that they had opened the glove apartment and had obviously ruffled through its contents, they had not stolen anything else.



Unfortunately, the day of the event was the day I was leaving with Rotarian Pua to go for the Golden Child Project. The Golden Child Project is a yearly event sponsored and organised by the Rotary Club of PJ where approx 30 terminally ill children are taken to a holiday destination in Malaysia for 3 days and 2 nights, this time it was Genting.

On another note, there's this new cancer ad on Astro where there's a young kid walking around an empty stadium. Her name's Amiza and she was one of the terminally kids we brought to Genting. The toy Koala she is holding is from the Golden Child Project and it is sponsored by the Rotary Club of Surfers' Paradise. Everytime i see that ad now i feel slightly saddened since i know her personally, but at the same time i feel somewhat happy that i have helped her in some way through the project.

Imagine being 6 and knowing that you might never reach 7.
And here I am complaining about my stolen radio.
