A Loss or a Gain ?
I lost my iPhone two days ago during a session with Tze Meng(who happens to be my life coach).To those who have known me or followed my previous blog would have been able to guess the venue..it was at Starbucks.It was pouring like dogs & bones that day. Being sitted outside I decided to accept the rain & continue staying out.(I was going thru an 'acceptance' stage of my life) Which explains y, shrugs.
Me being me decided to wrap my phone up in serviettes to prevent the rain from getting into it. Yes, I still have this habit of putting my phone on the table.My next table was a MIC(short form of Made In China) lady dressed in a blue sequins dress.I was thinking to myself hmmm nice dress from MIC.The next trip I'm in China I will consider shopping around for dresses. My train of thoughts were broken when T.M wanted to shifted inside the building and settled somewhere else.We packed up hurriedly & dash into the building.In my rush,I accidentally knocked into the dress to kill lady. I apologize & ran into United Square.
At United Square, I was busy admiring the cute cartoon dustbins that greeted me.While looking around for a place to sit, we decided to settled down at Macdonalds.As usual,I went to the counter contemplating to get a strawberry milkshake or a chocolate flavour one.In the end, I decided on a strawberry shake knowing that I will probably get a chocolate one as well later.T.M got us a seat, I place my bag down & started searching for my phone.(it needs to be on the table remember..)It suddenly dawn to me that my iPhone was still on the table with the Starbucks serviettes wrapped around it.It was still ringing when T.M called.I wanted to dash up to get it back, rain or no rain. Being the gentleman T.M was, he told me to wait while he ran up to get it.
I sat at Macdonalds once again thinking that I will accept my loss or whatever lesson the Universe wanted me to learn. By the way,my 12th lesson with T.M was about the Universe.T.M was telling me to throw something to the Universe & wait for it to be fulfill. The Universe will do its work, T.M said. After minutes have passed a very flustered T.M greeted me. I was as cool as a cucumber when he told me the phone wasn't on the table & the phone was switched off. So much for teaching me about the Universe today he grumbled...he ranted on & on about how he dislike dishonest people. He felt bad because if its not for the fact that he rang my hp soo many times. It would still have stayed under the serviettes & I would have stayed in my shell....You wouldn't be reading this as well.
I learn to ask myself this question each time something unexpectedly like this happen.Which happens quite a bit which also means I am quite a knowledgeable person, Thank You.What are the learnings/lessons I can gain from these?
Lessons Learnt:
1)Never cover your iPhone 4 in serviettes/buy a waterproof hp casing instead
2)When u go to Starbucks stay indoors
3)Go out only on hot sunny days
4)My new iphone4 will stay at home
5)I will only bring my unfriendly Samung Omnia out.
6)The person who took my phone will have rotting feet for 2 years.
