A quickie..

I am currently blogging from the Univ's library. This is the first time ever I spent more than 30mins inside this building. Before, I had only set my foot here to renew my membership. It's not because I'm allergic to books and journals, but I'm not familiar with this place and I had once lost way while trying to search for a book. I couldn't find the thing that they call the STACKS and I was stuck at the REFERENCE ONLY section. It was tormenting because the place was very creepy and silence drained my happy thoughts (eih, ni salah cerita ni...itu Harry Potter and the dementors). Anyway, I just don't like this place because it's very unfriendly unlike my other Univ's library. Tapi tak kisahlah semua tu tak penting, because I AM CURRENTLY BLOGGING FROM ONE OF THE LABS INSIDE THE CREEPY BUILDING!

Earlier, Y*n* J** helped me to find my way to the STACKS (dia lagi!) at level two and half (kan mcm Harry Potter lagi!) and theses at level two. This place is rather 'jumbled-up', it's like a maze or a labyrinth. Luckily I remembered to buy a bar of chocolate to bribe her to show me around this library hehehe (taklah, she's a nice girl and I'm indebted to her because she offered help to become the 'tourist guide'). After browsing through an M.A dissertation by a former student of NUS, I decided to go up to this lab and surf the internet. Y*n* J** had gone down to borrow some books and had probably gone back to her hostel.

Yesterday, I was almost fooled by a kid who pretended to know my schoolmates and 'invited' me to a very long conversation online. We exchanged phone numbers after I was really2 convinced that he's related to one of my best friends in school. And he said he's going to forward my number to her. The kid then phoned me and we chatted but things became 'funny' when he started asking about my job, the car I'm driving, my salary! my parents' name, my home address etc. Alhamdulillah, Allah protected me from succumbing to his scam. I didn't give the information that he asked and that made him upset. I got off the phone. Around 11pm, he texted me asking for a favour. He wanted to borrow some money from me. I said 'no' and ignored him. Alhamdulillah, he didn't call or text me anymore.

I just can't believe how he managed to get some background info about my schoolmate and my former school. Maybe he is related to my best friend, but uiiii scary babe!

Ij*** if you're reading this, when you come back next holiday, let's go and find this dude and belasah dia hahahaha!

Moral of the story: Don't risk giving your number to strangers even if he/she seems to 'know' you or your friends. Truth is liars are getting smarter these days!

Be cautious always and may Allah protect us all from harm and evil. Amin.
