So here's how it happened, I was heading to school for training in the morning. I got out of my house gate and saw that bus 2 was at the opposite bus-stop, so I ran across the road and up the bus, not knowing that I had dropped my wallet in the middle of the road while running. I was digging my bag for my wallet to pay the bus fare, but I just couldn't find it, until the bus started to move. To my horror, I saw my tattered blue wallet lying in the middle of the road. Then I told the bus-driver, "Uncle, 可以放我下去吗？我的皮包掉在地上。" Then he said he can't, I could only alight at the next stop. And so I did, and ran all the way back. It may only be just a bus-stop away, but imagine running with a stick and a heavy bag, nearly took my life. When I finally got back to the bus-stop, my wallet was no longer there! I panicked la, because my IC was in my wallet, along with my EZ-link, residential pass, house gate card and some money. And because I didn't have the house gate card, there was no way I could enter from the back gate, I had to asked this Ah Ma who was sitting at the bus stop to beep her card for me. I came home and started searching on the internet on where I can report the loss of my IC. Then I decided to take bus to Simei Police Post(and stupid me didn't even know where the nearest police post to my house was, had to research for it on the internet!) to make a police report.

While I was on the bus to Simei, I received a phone call, turned out to be the person who had picked up my wallet. He said he was still working and would meet me in the afternoon after his work to return me the wallet.

He did return me the wallet in the afternoon, with my IC, EZ-link, residential pass, house gate card and my $40.50, ALL INTACT!!! Oh my goodness, I can't believe I'm so lucky to have met such a kind soul, he could have easily taken my wallet and never return it back, but he went through all the trouble to contact me and arranged to meet me at Bedok Inter to return it to me. He even apologised for making me wait for him to reach Bedok, I was seriously stumped for words la. How can anyone be this nice? I kept thanking him non-stop. Lol. Really, if he hadn't return me the wallet, the damage done would have been $258.50($100 for replacement of IC, $18 for EZ-link, $50 for residential pass, $50 for house gate card and my $40.50).

And the funny thing is, he managed to contact me through my 'sexual abstinence until marriage' pledge card which had my phone number.

I can't believe how lucky I had been...okay I've been repeating this for quite a number of times already. I'm just so happy that I found my wallet. =)
