I am blogging from King Park Hotel in Tawau.

In about an hour, we’ll check out and head back to Sandakan. Will probably stop in Lahad Datu for lunch and refill of fuel.

We reached Tawau the day before yesterday and went to Semporna yesterday.

Planned to spend a night in Semporna, where the sea is beautiful and breathtaking, but all hotels are fully booked.

And so we went back to Tawau and stayed for another night.

The trip was ok. I had fun. I was excited. But, having to lost something valuable when we were on our way here made me feel rather emotion-less about this trip.

As you might have known, I lost my iPhone.

The last time I remembered holding it was when we stopped at a mosque near Bukit Garam. I remembered holding it as I went into the car. I wanted to put at the little compartment at the door as it was accessible if I need to make any calls but I told myself not to put it there yet, because the door was still open and the phone might fall.

I remembered still holding the phone as I eased myself in to the car.

And next was all history.

It was almost an hour later that I noticed the phone was not there. Or in the car.

We stopped by the side and searched. No iPhone.

We drove back to the mosque. As expected, it was nowhere to be found.

We even went to the police station in case someone honest found the phone and sent it to the police station. The officer in charge told me that I was lucky if that person was hones to send it to them. She even told us to use the bomoh to see who took my phone.

We searched the car again, and yet we found nothing.

It was weird because I did not hear the sound of things fell on the road or something like that, if it had fell when I closed the door.

We searched the car again when we reached Tawau. Nothing.

🙁

As for now, I’m using my Nokia 1680 and a temporary Celcom number.

And I’m still thinking whether to buy another iPhone or to get any other phone.

Maybe another iPhone because I am still bounded by the two-years iValue Plan contract with Maxis.

I still have another 19 months to go.

Huks.

It used to be ‘His and Hers’. Now, the only left is ‘His’.

I dreamt about the phone for two nights now.

The night before, I dreamt that I found the iPhone cover at the mosque where we first stopped. The person just took the phone and left the rubbery purple cover there.

Last night, I dreamt that I found my iPhone, with the cover still on, in between the car seat and the hand brake.

I’m wondering if last night’s dream would come true.
