Missing

It's funny how people just stop noticing things around them. Even if they are things that you place right in front of you. After awhile, you just wouldn't even know they are gone.

Suv started this little experiment when she took the little dancing doll (the solar energy doll) from Harwin's desk and placed it on her desk instead, right in front of her.

The funny thing was, Harwin didn't even notice that the item was missing. Worse, he didn't even see it when he was standing in front of Suv's desk, chit-chatting with her, and the item was right in front of him, in plain sight, dancing away happily.

So Suv decided to take it one step further and take one more item from his desk, a little rugby ball. Funny thing was, other people started to take notice. Some even asked him directly if he noticed anything missing from his table. So Harwin took one long look at his desk, and replied "Nope, nothing missing" Hahaha.... Fainted...

So the rugby ball and the dancing doll till this day was still on Suv's desk, obviously not missed by their owner!



Suv shared the story with Mao, Zinc and I and we were so amused! Zinc even commented that even she would not have noticed if anything went missing on her desk. So I followed Suv's experiment and took something from Zinc's desk. Zinc, can you tell what did I take? haha...



The experiment was successful! Zinc had the same reaction as Harwin. In fact, would she know that one of her pigs was with me if I didn't tell her? I doubt so...

So I tried another victim and placed Mao's snow globe with Zinc.



But Mao was definitely more alert as she noticed that it was gone within the day! haha... So her snow globe was returned to her promptly. Heehee...

So ends my 'research'.
2 Conclusions:
1. Some people are more aware of their belongings than others.
2. Obviously the missing item is not of much importance to them. Can throw away~

Hahahaha....
