Last Tuesday, i left me hard disk in the computer lab in school. When i went back to get it the day after, it weren't there no more and it hadn't been surrendered to anyone in charge of lost and found. So i was kinda bummed out, 'cause in it i had a lot of photos that were important to me. All my music and videos and documents were in there too, but the lost photos were what really bothered me.

Then on Friday, i left me stuff outside the school's Performance Theatre - which i do quite often - and when i came back from class, wonder of wonders, there was me hard disk lounging comfortably next to me backpack. i found a note in me hard disk. This is it:

Hey wei an!
I've got a confession: I stole your hard disk.
You kinda left it in the com lab, and I kinda took it after no one claimed it for a while. Sorry man. Hope it didn't cause you too much worry and stuff.
But well, they always say things happen for a reason. I've been kinda confused and stressed out recently. School and life just taking their tolls, you know.
Then, I saw your hard disk. It seemed like a really good idea to take it. Finders keepers! hahaha I am so lucky, I got me a nice fat hard drive to store all my music and rubbish. I didn't get the whyon thing. You must admit, its rather far from weian.
So I got home after a really crappy day and decided to avoid some work by going through “my” new hard drive. It was then I realised it was yours.
Things kinda changed, then. Somehow, I just couldn't take something from someone I knew. All the lies about 'Finder's Keepers' just dissolved.
But maybe there was a meaning to all this. Something in those pictures of orientation, of VJ life, just reminded me what our whole culture and spirit is about. Small problems and things may beset us and try to pull us down, but in the end we'll come out tops. And we'd be better for it.
So I guess there really was a purpose to me finding the drive. And if it didn't cause you too much grief, then you can be happy in the fact that your hard drive saved a life. Thank you, weian(:
god really works through some of us.

Pretty cool, huh? i still have no idea who it is, but i'm guessing that it's a guy from the way the note is written.

Thank you God, that you can work through an idiot like me, leaving around me stuff to be stolen.

What makes it even more strange is that people in VJ don't normally take home other people's stuff that they find. They put it in the lost and found or something like that.

To whoever it was that took me hard disk, glad it was of help!

God bless!
