The worst possible thing that could EVER happen has. And my trip hasn't even begun!! Flew in to Malaysia today on a short stopover before heading to New York City. Mom and Dad picked me up from the airport, and we decided to grab a quick bite to eat. So we went to this busy shopping strip. When we got back to the car afterwards, we found that some bastard had smashed the backseat window on the right hand side of the car, pulled down the seat and STOLE MY DAY PACK. Yups, the one with *MY ENTIRE LIFE* in it. By ENTIRE LIFE I mean my mobile, laptop, ipod, camera, travellers cheques, cash, passport and various other belongings. Hell, they even took my Lonely Planet travel guides. Not bad for a night's work, huh?
DAMN THOSE BASTARDS TO HELL!!!
Needless to say, I am now stranded and shattered beyond belief. I HAVE NOTHING. I can't leave the country, as all my visas are in my passport. I have no money and no passport. I have no phone. All my memories and stuff of sentimental value are gone - mostly photos (a lot of photos!) and my personal journal. So now some total stranger will know what's going on inside my head. They have photos of me and my friends. They have my address in Australia. They know my date of birth. It's scary and weird thinking that some unknown, faceless person will have such intimate knowledge of me. But not like they care. All they care about is how they can sell off all my stuff, and spend my cash. If I see some dude walking down the street with a Black Wolf backpack over the next couple of days, I'll risk getting charged for assault and bash him over the head first. Hah.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!?!?!?! I keep wishing that it was all just a bad dream. But no such luck. I mean, what are the odds??!! The ONE time I decide to go on a major trip, this happens. I don't remember ordering a big portion of stress and despair to go with this big adventure.
To put this in perspective, at least it happened in Malaysia and Mom and Dad are around to help me out. I still have my ID and credit cards, as I had my purse with me.
But...
My new mobile phone!!! My new ipod!!! My new MacBook!!! See, that's what happens when you get a whole bunch of new toys at once. They make some petty thief's day. I feel bad for Mom cuz she has to replace a whole window. And I'm not sure if I can still make it to New York/Canada anymore, as I don't have my visas. Hopefully they can give me some sort of emergency documentation *fingers crossed*
This sucks. Big time.
