What's that on your bag ??

It was a bright and sunny afternoon when a kid carried this huge orange bag around Raffles City area while waiting for her friend. Thinking of finding the nearest air-coned place to sit, she remembered the Burger King at the basement of the shopping centre. Briming with self pride over her excellent memory(ermm, this kid is known to be ultra street unsmart u see...), she headed straight for the side entrance of Robinsons.

Suddenly, 2 police officers at the door caught her eyes. Gasp! they saw her looking at them. They eyes met for a split second but the kid managed to look away immediately and pretended to be very calm and nonchalent as she walked past the security check counter.

Phew, she thought... as if she was really guilty of something. But alas....

"madm.... madm....Madm.................... MADM !!!"
Kid turned around
"I think we gotta check your bag."
"o..ohh.... ok."

"I thought that IOC was over yesterday?"
"The VOTING was over Yesterday... " replied the police officer, with a TINGE of exasperation.
"Huh?"
"..................."

Then came the sticker.

After wondering around Raffles City for the next 30 mins, Kid realised that hers was the only bag that got the sticker.

"......................."

Moral of the story: There is a grand finale for the IOC, one day after the Result day. Read the newspaper!
