Seven Oaks...

tafdax u thallilx...

how true...if you just think that the rest are like yourself than you're too naive...and things which you could not foresee happen to you...this is to tell you that on friday i joined a couple of friends for a drink at a small cosy discoteque here in leuven...who were about to leave back home each to their respective countries...knowing that this was a way how to bid them farewell i took my camera with me and every now and then i took out of my bag to take photos of us together...i left my bag on the platform whereby everyone got to place their coats and jackets...i stayed next to it so that I could continuously keep an eye on it...it was all so great...we had so much fun. But then at one point I happened to turn away and after a while remembered to check on my bag which I could not see no more. I instantly went to where I had put it and found under a huge pile of jackets...I opened it to check on the contents but then I realized that my camera as well as my cellphone were gone...voulaaa...i never thought that this would happen to me...but it did...you never know...i do have my own suspects but you can never say for sure who the person was...

What is done is done and one just has to keep on rolling...learning from the past as we live the present and face the future. I rushed to the police station but it was closed...headed back to "Seven Oaks" went to the bartender and asked if they have a CCTV installed and he said yes we do but the platform which was the place where I placed my bag is not covered!! Lucky me!!

Then I headed back home and tried to get some sleep thinking that there was nothing I could do.
Then what came to mind was a freephone number which someone had said to me some days before which I could still remember so I decided to call on this number from the college's landline...and it was the operator to whom I explained my situation...he said to me that I should go to another police station which is at the outskirts of the city of Leuven. I kindly asked him if he could put me through and I talked to the police officer on night duty and I was told to go there and then to file a report so that they could leave to "Seven Oaks" and check on the persons and if luck would be on our side the person would be caught red handed...so I immediately left and ran all the way to this police station but to no avail they did not send anyone as they had various reports already...so I guess I had to forget about having my stuff back...

What I have to do now is save some money and get these things replaced...

I'm off to revise for today's test...which is at around 3pm...

Keep me in your prayers buddies...
