I lost my wallet yesterday. Was extremely frustrated about it because I knew it will be gone forever. I haven't really lost my wallet since I was P1. Yes, there were instances when my wallet was nearly lost, like when I was 16 and it dropped onto the seat while I was alighting the bus and I only realised about it after alighting, resulting in me running back to the bus to get it back (Usain Bolt would have been proud of me!) or when it was somehow misplaced and ended up in Jessie's bag (till today both of us have no idea how that happened) but other than these instances I've never really lost it.
But I lost it while taking the train yesterday so I know its not coming back. My mind just keeps going back and replaying those scenes, all the possibilities of which I've narrowed down to 2: #1- It fell out of my bag (This is the optimistic view) #2-Someone took it out from my bag. I would hate it if #2 actually happens but really, I see no other way because I was in a really crowded train (I blame the rain and SMRT) and I was just one of the many sardines packed inside the cabin. However, I am trying my best not to pinpoint anyone or any events (like how I should have taken a bus straight to work despite the possibility of being late) and come to terms with it. It is lost and that is a fact.
But knowing me, I'll probably be harping on it for the next week. I remember pure anguish when I realise that I'll have to remake my IC but after sitting down and reflecting upon it - it is a good thing that so far I have come close to tears but yet to cry about it. Remember, crying is a mode of releasing emotions. Forget the IC, I lost my new POSB card with added security (was still happily telling jonl how I finally got mine after he got his since ages ago) and other membership cards like my new and unused Passion card, my ezlink card which still had over $15 in it etc etc. But more importantly, my polaroids, photos and notes! Those can never be reapplied for and it is with frustration when I think about them. Thus I shall not be listing them out for fear of ending the post in tears but just know that all are precious and now I only have memories of them. URGH. (And that is an understatement)
Whatever it is, I am feeling sore from this event and despite today being my first day of being unemployed since 4 months ago, I feel no joy. I can only think about my wallet, or the lack of it. Currently I have no access to my money at all and its going to take a few days before my card can be sent to me because I cannot produce any identification to collect my card immediately at the bank. Right now I am penniless. I only have less than $15 till I gain access to my account Poor me! (Pun intended).
OKAY ACTUALLY I JUST WANT TO SWEAR IT ALL OUT BUT NELSON ALWAYS TELL ME NOT TO SWEAR SO I SHALL BE NICE BUT JUST KNOW THAT PROFANITY MAKES LIFE BETTER, URGH.
Pretty please, just take my money and return me all the other things - one man's meat is another man's poison- they are price-less to you, just like they are priceless to me.
On another note, because I've become so poor, I now feel like isolating myself at home. Dang.
Last but not least, nelson finally POPped yesterday so he's going on his block leave and I'll have plenty of time to spend with him - just nice! (:
