Pick Pocketed

Auntie got pick-pocketed at the market!!! Who, who, who, har?

We have been hearing so many stories about aunties get pick-pocketed but never thought it would happen to ourselves, right?

Wrong! Because the auntie that we are talking here is none other than auntie Helena. Ok, ok, laugh all you want, auntie Helena got pick pocketed in the morning when she went to the wet market in Bukit Batok.

Here's her story:
It happened real quick. I was browsing some children stuff, I took out my wallet to show my friend, and then put it back into my bag. Then a lady next to me asked her daughter where she got the wallet. I saw its my wallet. The little girl gave the wallet back but did not say when or how she picked up the wallet. Then, the lady told me to be careful as it has been known that there are a lot of pick-pocketers in the market. It was only when I wanted to pay for some stuff that I realised my money is all gone! That is all my hard-earned marketing money. Really feel so sad.

Times are bad (stock market so bad) and economy is expected to turn for the worse. Crime rate sure to go up. So, everybody reading this, be careful, don't think it won't happen to you, it can happen to anybody.

- Met up with group of friends that Helena made in online forum for mothers

Did not take many pictures, our camera refused to work in the cold weather.
