PHONE STOLEN FROM MARINA SQUARE: NTU ALUMNI HOUSE

“To the woman who took my phone at NTU Alumni House at Marina Square on 21/6/17 I hope karma will strike you. The more I think about the loss of my Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the angrier I get. Because if you just want a better phone, go ****ing buy it yourself. You have no idea how much information I’ve lost that was in the phone that we can never put a price tag on.

And you have no idea how bad I feel for spoiling the family’s mood on my father’s birthday on that night. And the pictures and videos of my loved ones will never reappear. I will never see them again.

I hate myself for not backing them up in time. I keep telling myself I will before the new sem begins. But i hate you even more for taking my phone with no intention of returning it.

And knowingly ignored all the missed calls and smses. I hope you’ll be guilty whenever you use it and see the shadow of my dad’s name on the screen (yes, the screen is slightly faulty). 😡
