Another Encounter with a Locksmith

I completely forgot to say about what kind of idiotic thing I did somewhat in panic in the night of 3 October. Struggling with a router, I decided to go to the SGH where connection to the internet should be stable to check my computer and this new router. In a hurry, I put the computer in my bag and went out and shut the door, without the room key. Locked out. I did not even have my wallet. But luckily my mobile phone was with me. I called a friend but there was no answer. I tried another friend who picked up my call and searched the internet for me the phone number of a locksmith on the spot. I called the number she gave me and the man who answered my call said “seventy dollars.” I had no choice and I waited for some 20 minutes for him to arrive. Then, a car came over. A few people were in the car and a man, the locksmith, came out.  Taking him up to the door of my unit, I said, “It takes only five seconds to open the door, and I have to check my wallet how much cash I have now.” It took him only two seconds. This was the third time that I locked myself out of this unit. I had only $62 and he took $60.
