Sign of overwork?
I reached the void deck of my house and decided to whip the laptop out to see if I could download emails using some random wireless network. Success! Some generous neighbour has allowed me to download some 50 odd emails. Got upstairs and realized that most of these emails weren't downloaded completely. So told my dad that I was going to be downstairs for a bit and went down to get some work done.
10 minutes later at 115am and there was no reception at the exact spot where I was fifteen minutes ago. I walked all over with an open laptop searching for a signal. What a sight. 15 minutes later, I found my spot. The foot a pillar 5 metres from a staircase in the next block. Geez. There I was, answering 50 odd emails (all work from school) replying to urgent MSN msgs when suddenly two guys came up and said
"Eh, police. What you doing?"
Damn. Think.
Me: "Erh, doing work.. heh."
Policemen: "Huh? Doing what work? 2 am at the void deck?"
Me: "Doing work lah.. Got lots of work to do ah.. " *sympathetic grimace*
Policemen: "Where you live?"
Me: "Ahh.. just upstairs"
Policeman with a "sure-or-not" face: "Gimme your IC"
Other policeman: "Got record or not? What school?"
Indignant Me: "Erh.. No. SMU."
Policeman: "You do work.. why never go home and do?"
Me: "Erm.. Need quiet ah and don't want to disturb the family"
Policeman with the "sure-or-not" face: "Then why never sit at the stone table there?"
Me: "Dirty ah"
Policeman: "Hah? Then you sit on the floor!"
Me: "There got people spill drinks.. here just dust."
Policeman with sibei "sure-or-not" face: "You see ah.. you sit here. So suspicious, a lady walk around here, thinks you're up to no good.. you get in trouble. Then some more now holidays, teenagers come and grab your laptop.. can make 1 thousand 2 thousand dollars.. how?"
Me: *teenagers?* "Erh yah okay"
Policeman: *gives back IC* "Better go home ah you"
Me: "Erh yah okay"
Policeman: "Don't stay around here"
Me: "Erh yah okay" *walks off*
I know the policemen were just doing their job. I'm just wondering how'd they know I was there.
