My lucky day

My mood is very good today. The weather is nice. It was a rainy morning and most importantly I was very lucky. I'll explain why.

Luckily, today I asked daddy to go to Mines, coz I told him I have something to hunt for...ahem ahem....a pair of boots for my trip to Germany! Luckily, I told daddy I wanted to withdraw money from the Maybank ATM machine. Luckily, I stood behind that lady in the queue at the machine. Because of that, I had an extra RM150 to spend!

Well, the lady in front of me actually forgot to take the money that she withdrew from the machine. I was standing behind her and when she left, I automatically step in front and wanted to slot in my bankcard. And that's when I noticed the machine kept on beeping. Then I saw the notes. But when I turned around to spot the lady. She had already walked far away, almost lost from my sight. I couldn't just walked away like that and lost my queue which could resulted that I have to queue again. And, frankly...she walked too quick and very far away from my sight, I barely recognized who even though I chose to ran after her. Besides, she did not return to picked up what she had left behind even after I spent my sweet time at the machine withdrawing money or else, I would definitely returned it to her.

So, out of luck, I pocketed the money. Daddy told me, it's my luck because if I didn't take the money, other people will anyway. Or if I'm not the person queuing behind that lady, whoever queued behind her would have got it instead of me. So, I told daddy, since got people belanja, let's go for a nice meal. So, daddy picked a restaurant that we will definitely not go (if we have to fork out ourselves..hehe) because the food is too expensive. It's a herbal restaurant which they serve dishes with a taste of herbs. Daddy got himself a stew duck noodle which excellent herbal soup base. Lunz got himself mushroom noodles and I got myself, bird nest soup!

Haha...we still left money after the meal, so we went shopping. Daddy took Lunz to feed the fishes in the pond while I hunt for my boots. So, in the end our purchases are a pair of coffee colored ankle height boots from ELEMENTS for me, cotton pillow and 2 boxes of ciggy for daddy and a box of mouth-watering doughnuts from Big Apples for Lunlun. I wanted to get Lunz a bedside lamp but it was nearly 2pm by the time I bought all those. So, I left that out first.

We got ourselves presents and a nice meal, all sponsored by someone else. We told ourselves, if we don't take it, other people will and besides that lady never came back for it while we were still there. So, maybe today is actually really my lucky day and also a lesson learnt as well.

Must always take your cash after you take your bankcard.
