The Missing

...or should I say The Misplaced? Who knows. No one, that's who. Of late, things have been disappearing without any trace or logic. At least this is true for a friend of mine. Right under his nose, it was gone in a matter of seconds.

I find it more astonishing than it should, more than anyone would have preferred. We turned the whole place upside down, yet only succeeding in making ourselves more puzzled than before.

I told him to recall his last moments with The Misplaced. He gathered his memories of the past moments, and we scrutinized them one by one, yet still to no avail. Something happened during that course of time that nobody knew or realized.

I suppose that is always the case with missing things. You could've sworn it was there, but somehow it isn't. So we blame people around us, we blame ourselves, we blame the circumstances. We denunciate all we can, be what was lost remains.

if this is about spectacles (although i doubt it), the only time you're going to find it is after you stepped on it. o yeah.

if not, try looking dalam kasut. yes, DALAM kasut.

Nah, it's about iPod earphones. Those things may be small, but they cost a fortune...for a small item that is. Up to date, there has yet been signs of the earphones...

..especially during exam week!! The room/table is super duper messy that you can wonder how you manage to find anything through it. It's already good he realized that something is missing. Good luck treasure hunting!

Messy? Really...?

I suppose it is, but I try to keep it clean though...though it seems pretty much like a one*cough*man*cough*effort.

Haha...hope so. Those iPod earphones are really something though. I'd understand why people would go frantic over losing them. They really are that good.
