Almost got snatch thieved

There were 2 gatherings last saturday nite. 2 birthday gatherings. A belated one and an advanced one. Snce both birthday babies are close frens, it wud be rude to not turn up (excuse. actually, I was the one who wanted to hang out...hehehe). So i went for both. One after the other.

The incident happened when I was on my way to the second gathering. It was rather late by the time I headed to the venue. It was at this place dat I'm not familiar with. And quite far from the first venue. So by the time i got sesat, it got later. And still I cudnt find the place. U noe la, I have no sense of directions. Another fren had to come out to get me. Paiseh! :p

And so I parked and walked over to the cafe. In the meantime, I fiddled with my keys and phone in my handbag. The road to the cafe was full of cars and quite a number of ppl were waliking around. I, was busy talking to my fren. Then I saw this bike going slow headed towards us. 2 indians. My fren moved over closer to my side. The bike rode past. And I was still talking.

Seconds later, we both heard a scream from behind. We turned just in time to see this girl pointing towards the SAME bike that sped off. They had taken her bag. One of he frens gave chase on foot. Only then did I realised dat they were actually snatch thieves! Eyeing for victims! If my fren had not walked over closer to me and foiled their intentions, I wud have been the one pointing and screaming. And I guess he'll be the one chasing. Wat if they were armed? Thinking back about it now gives me the shivers. I was lucky. Lucky to have my fren there as well. Felt sorry for dat girl. She was not hurt. But not sure if she got her bag back. We didnt stay long on the streets. We had quickened our pace to the cafe. Who wudnt?

I really thank my fren for the escort dat nite. I dun think I'll walk to anywer alone anymore. Especially at nite. And I dun think I'll fiddle with my handbag when I'm walking. I'll keep an eye on my surroundings from now on. Once is enuf. Altho it was an 'almost' case.

Did my fren came closer to my side to let the bike pass or did he sensed danger fromr those 2 fellas? Shall ask him when i see him again the next time.

And girls, take note alrite?
Be safe.
