Poor Uncle Cyril! Swana's father-in-law has had a most unlucky day today.
We were hanging out at Membina after work when a call came in from him saying he had forgotten his house keys. Locked out, he decided to come over to see his new grand-daughter.
But by some weird stroke of bad luck, the company truck he drove got stolen from the multi-storey carpark! All in a matter of 90 mins, for that's how long his visit lasted.
He and Kevin are down at Cantonment Police Complex now filing a report but talk about 'suay'! He wasn't supposed to come to Tiong Bahru in the first place, but when he did, he lost his car!
Nick thinks that it happened for a reason i.e. that he's being saved from a bigger catastrophe and his attentions being diverted elsewhere, I just think he had a really bad day. I feel sorry for the guy, he's such a sweet, unassuming and simple man.
Coincidentally when we were at Membina earlier this evening, Nick had commented that there was a suspicious middle-aged beng staring at our car intently. He had parked at the loading/unloading bay and this guy appeared to be sussing out the car from an opposite bench, which prompted Nick to keep peering out of the window to check on Pierre.
Little did we know then that someone else's car would be stolen! Wonder if the incidents are related?
