Today a kid just shoplifted from our store. He is tall and I thought he was a teenager and he wasn’t even a teenage yet after I heard the police interrogated him. I was told to make a police report. Thinking back, a young kid, if I gave him a stern warning the first time or the second time he shoplifted, then probably this time he won’t? This was the dunno how many times but to us, with witness, the third time. He just walked out without payment. He was a regular at our store and I saw him quite often which he did pay for his stuff. Only today, I realised the person they said was shoplifting was him. That’s sad. To know that he is below 12, just make the whole thing terrible. I thought he was a teenager… He is only primary 5… Whether I reported him or not, it wasn’t right. Because at his age, he needs to know the consequences for his action. However, I was thinking if it was too harsh for him to be reported to the police. My colleague called to ask our boss and our boss said report to police. I do hope the police will be able to give the correct solution so the child won’t go down the wrong path. Find some expert or whoever who can help the child no matter what was the circumstances of what he did. At that age, I hope either you go wrong or somebody helped you not to go wrong although it may seemed harsh at the time. At my age, if I got married at 25, he could be my son liao. He is that young… It’s a very saddening event that I have to hold back from not tearing my eyes out. Please God. Let him be fine and turn back from whatever wrong way he was getting into.
I finished doing my wallet without cutting myself. I got a poke from the needle though but it was alright. Only that one time. The rest I found a way to prevent that. The cutting mat has been very useful and now it’s filled with holes. Today I got my first cut of the year. Fengshui’s problem. I was taking something from the dark corner near the kitchen sink at work. Was opening the carton for umbrella. Someone asked me to take. When I was cashier, I normally took it myself instead of calling someone unless really necessary. I have cut away the tape but the tape side sick to the wall so I pulled it and I couldn’t remember but just felt sharp pain on my left palm. My left hand gave way after the cover flipped open and the knife on the right hand slashed my palm. Sigh, I should have close it before pulling the cover. It failed to open the first time so I slide it out to cut a second time but worry it didn’t open and kept it that way. Should have trust my instinct. I also think ...
