THE MYSTERY OF THE MISSING LINK - SOLVED!

It was saturday. as usual, mum was cooking up a storm - MEE REBUS. she reminded everyone to be back for dinner cos' she spent like closed to $100. it was a regular family night where all the sisters, brother-in-laws, niece and nephew would be here for nice dinner. she bought beef and tripes and on top of that, she bought a humongous crab.

she revealed to me that she would be cooking sharksfin soup. she shook her head in disdain. she thought lauhanku wasn't back. but he was when she went marketing.(if she knew he was back, there won't be the extra sharksfin.) anyway, that night dinner was superb! the only irritating thing was, she hid the sharksfin soup from lauhanku and secretly served to us, her children and grandchildren only after lauhanku went to the next door flat.

after a satisfying meal which ended with hashima with lotus seed dessert - that would be froggies' sperm just in case u dunno what's hashima is -time for the sisters, brother-in-laws, the niece and a naughty little nephew to bid adieus.

about an hour or soon, youngest sis called to ask whether we found the EZLINK card for my little nephew, ah boy. high and low we search but couldn't find it....

strange....very strange indeed! how could an EZLINK CARD just disappeared like that. i did notice ah boy playing with it after dinner and had firmly told him to keep it properly in his pocket. now it was lost. strange!

it was about midnite, my weird FT IT tenant was 'alive'. ah seng, my tenant, was always more alive as the night progressed. now u roughly undestand why i described him 'weird'.

he went to shower leaving his door ajar. i went to the kitchen after passing by his room. i thought i saw an EZLINK CARD on his table. i entered and yes! it was ah boy's card cos behind it stated as CHILD with yellow face.

after having my drink in the kitchen, i returnd to the hall to continue watching ARMY OF HEAVEN an exciting historical epic showing in tv, starring ORLANDO BLOOM and JEREMY IRONS.

after about 15 minutes, ah seng exited from he toilet and hastened into his room. i forgot to ask him about my nephew's missing ezlink card.

next morning, i was rudely awakened by banging of the room doors. ah seng was up early - as usual, preparing to go to work. it was always either the door banging that woke me or his strong pungent cologne or perfume that would wake me up abruptly.

his room wasn't locked cos he just did his laundry. i could see 5 bamboo sticks hung full of his clothing and an array of his colorful undies. i just couldn't imagine how many clothings and undies he changed in a week.

curiously, i opened the door to check whether the ezlink card was there so that i could retrieve to return to my sister. it wasn't. and my gosh!! another 2 full pails of laundry which was overflowing from the pails and sprawn all over floor. how the hell, he wore so many clothings? weird, isn't it?

mamalee was back from her routine morning exercise. i just gotta tell her that i had found the missing link card. she was incensed and starting cussing ah seng accusing him of being dishonest...blah..blah..blah! yep! just the broken radio she was....and early in the morning.

i was rather pissed by her incessant rantings. i decided to sms ah seng.

me, sms: seng, did u c a child ezlink card which belong to my nephew?
seng replied: oh! yes! i tot that was mine. i used it to take mrt and topped up with $10 some more.
me: omg! that's for kid. dangerous ok. if caught u will be fined! so dun use it when u return.
seng: oh, thanks!..didn't know. tot was mine cos i foung it inside the washing machine after i did my laundry.
me: no problem. will refund u the $10 tonite.

strange? how did ah boy's ezlink card ended up inside the washing machine? decided to call sister. and the mystery of the missing link was solved!

my naughty cheeky nephew, ah boy had threw his link card into the machine. no wonder we couldn' find it. that same night, ah seng did his laundry...and he found it and thought it was his.

it only left me to explain to mamalee before she made matter worst when ah seng returned. well, she understood that it was all a very co-incidental misunderstanding. that appeased her and solved all the fuss over this ezlink card.

moral of this happening:

IT'S BETTER TO SPEAK THING OUT INSTEAD OF BEING SHY ABOUT IT. 3 THINGS RESULTED FROM THIS EPISODE:
1. luckily i dare sms ah seng, if not he might be caught during the return trip for using that card. he already had a record of being fined $50 by SMRT.

2. that my mamalee was quick to condemn before finding out the whole truth of the matter.

3. i was so proud i solved the mystery of the missing link (card)......;9)
