If you ever lose something on the train...

Get to the control station and report it straight away.

It doesn't matter which station you are in, they are able to communicate much faster directly with each other that way, rather than you going online to type in the missing item form and waiting indefinitely.


I left my Macbook Pro at the LRT station near my house yesterday.

By the time I reached Kent Ridge station, the station staff back at home station had already found it, checked through the CCTV, and sent a report to the other stations regarding a 17-20 year old male student in green shirt wearing specs and a haversack who had left a laptop behind.

I was wanted on all stations already, but I did not yet realise I had left my laptop behind. 

How amazing was that.


Later I returned to Punggol and spoke to the control station staff at the station about my misplaced item. 

They said I matched the description and asked me for the contents of the laptop to prove it was mine.

I said the desktop picture is that of a girl holding an "I love you" sign.

The station staff gestured and asked me if it was a picture of the the girl I was with.

No, I said. 

It's Taylor Swift.


Nice day.

Though I did badly in my tests and lost my laptop...

The SBS Transit people found my laptop, thought I was 3 years younger than I really am, and assumed my sister was my girlfriend.

It was quite a good day I'd say.
