Yes... a lot had happen.. my gradual or rather sudden change to a Macbook ..had to master it and still having a headache on how to transfer my old emails to Mac.. a lot of adjustment and you would still need to get a hang of things..however, once you are used to it .. its easy peasy and damn cool too. Main reason for conversion to mac was.. it rarely crashes and less threat of virus.. my darling old dell crashed 4 times within the span of 2 years and revived back from the dead... am gonna miss him.. well just a little...hehe.
Our house got broken into..and and the creep stole Hub's macbook.. the burglar apparently came in through small windows at the staircase which was not grilled. It took us a while to find out..mainly because they did not take a lot of things. The morning after the incident, as I was getting ready to shower and get dress for work,I saw lilD's diaper bag in another room when I had put the bag on the sofa outside our room the night before..in my mind I did wander why and how it got there but did'nt think anything was untoward.
You see Hubs uses Lil'd changing room as his computer room of sorts..ie. he has his desk top and whatever paraphernalia'a there .. normally he would charge his Macbook there but that nite he decided to charge it in the other room..anyhow the next morning he asked me or rather if I had seen his laptop .. see hubs downloads UFC (Ultimate fighting champion), a big fan of that show so the first thing he would do after he awaken is to check on his downloads..anyway , I said his macbook must be in the other room he checked and it was no where to be found.. that's when it struck me something really had happen.. I said it must be burglars.. why ? coz the maid complained when I sent lilD down for breakfast that someone opened two of the little windows at the stairs and it was so tough to close it.. I thought oh must be my pa in law.. but that confirmed my suspicions , it also explains why lilD's bag was in the other room.. after that all hell broke loose.. up and down we checked if anything else was stolen..nada ...only the laptop it was perplexing! there was a dvd player that could be stolen.. hubs tissot watch near his desktop which was lying around, a microwave oven that's still in the box which could be sold as brand new..(well it was brand new , hubs won it in one of the golf tourney's lucky draw) . On top of that the maids said.. the latch at the kitchen door which would normally be latched was opened but the door was locked and they said 3 cans of soya bean was thrown outside and on the kitchen counter (we had cartons of soyabean and other fizzy drinks from raya)..the maids thought it was us or my brother in law.
*sighs* my pa in law rang the police and lilD made friends with the policewoman who came.. but other than that don't think they did anything other than printed what can be printed from the window and did the necessary reports..that was the end of that.. poor hubz had to get another lappy ..he bought the Macbook pro *green with envy* but sakit kepala also lah have to pay for additional that we never expected damn burglars *$£^£$%^£* ok thats enough expletives..but I was freaked out and angered ! these people don't give a damn about our safety and care the least about our conveniences as long as theirs is served.
You know what freaked me out further? two nights before the burglary I wanted to go to the bathroom, it must be around 1.30am this was on Saturday night erm Sunday morning I guess. Didn't hear anything because I was watching my Korean drama online.. these shows are addictive! ..anyway when I stepped outside.. I was shocked because it was pitch dark..wondered why ? I had the fleeting thought it might be..Burglars..but since I was already sleepy and really needed the bathroom I went back into the room and took out the torchlight thinking oh it's just a blown out bulb..but when I checked the switch which is by the stairs , I saw that it had been switched off.. the staircase lights is never ever switched off.. its on from dusk till dawn in the house for as long as I have lived there.. but i thought hmm maybe my ma in law switched it off for some reason.. so i Switched it on again thinking its too dark and dangerous to be left switched off just in case we needed the bathroom. Nothing happen that night but the funny thing was the next morning the bulbs really did fizzle and needed to be changed so didnt think anything of that incident . But now with all the goings on I can't help but wonder why the staircase light was switched off ?? that's still a mystery .. I wish we had cctv but alas did not think we need it. My assumption..the creep came in to check things out but got disturbed ? well maybe its perfectly innocent but it was just too much of a coincidence right ?
After the break-in incident within a week.. another one occurred that really freaked me out! Why? well the first break in incident was on a Monday.. the 2nd incident was on Friday night the morning of Saturday..my helper told me that she woke up feeling like she needed to go relieve herself..but she was lazy to get up..I think everyone has had that experience right.. anyway while she was deliberating on whether to get up or not..she heard the door to their bathroom being rattled, well not quite rattled more like it was tried to see if it opens ...she slowly got up and peaked through the windows (she sleeps under the window) and what did she see.. a man in baklava with a machete around his waist trying the door to see if its open. Their bathroom can be accessed from outside and I can only assume the creep tried to gain entry after seeing that the staircase windows had been grilled.
Thank the Almighty that the bathroom door was also latched from the inside. Well suffice to say my maid almost peed in her pants too afraid to move or make a sound ..the guy gave up and eventually left through the back. Which reminds me I must give them my old mobile phone since its just lying around upstairs so that they can contact us if anything happens downstairs..need to get a sim card for them.
The next morning, when they went around the house and found a blue cloth shoved in the mango tree branches , we know it was never there before so we assume so that it can be kept in readiness for his next opportunity , maybe something to shove on ones faces so we don't scream or can be easily used as something to tie the occupants up. God forbid! the police wasn't interested in them so we burnt it..oh the smell that came from them had really strong chemical smell. *shudder*
We rang the police , again they came over and looked around, prints taken again but that's as far as it goes. At the very least we register our complaints and put it on record that this had happened.The fact that now we know they carry weapons with them scare the crap out of me seeing that we have an infant and the elderly around the house ,my pa and ma in law is still young but surely no match for a determined robber who will use whatever means necessary to not get caught! we asked the police to step up on patrols.. according to the police..houses that can be seen from highways and are easily accessible and are easy targets so the best we can do is equip ourselves with Burglar deterrents like grills and ensure a well lit house, even a burglar alarm *sighs*..well I hope whoever it was gets caught soon and stop being a menace to my family and the society!
It had been a week of loss of a Mac and the welcoming of two new macs , sweet sweet apple. Meanwhile, we now have some use of Hubs golf club.. safely tucked where it can be used at a moments notice in our room.
Be safe folks.
