I dropped my wallet on the bus 174 today. OMG... wat a shock for me when i realised it. I was very tired today. Slept at 4am last night to rush my report for today and today go to school feeling very zombified. I put my wallet on my bag den i got off the bus, i forgot that i have it on my lap. I heard a 'tup' when i got off the bus. I have a habit of checking my seat before leaving the bus but i did no see my wallet on the floor. By the time i realised i dropped it, the bus was gone. I tried running after the bus but no use.
I started walking and called hz. The moment i started talking i started crying. Then i tried to called ppl whom i know live along the route of the bus 174 to get them to help me intercept the bus. But no one picked up my call. And i got even more panicky.. Finally i got to the JJ bus stop. i called ee soon and ask him if he's at home so can borrow ezlink from him. Den i started crying while telling him wat happened. He's not at home but he told me to wait for him while he come and look for me.
Den hz managed to help me find the number for lost and found and i called them. The person told me that it might take 2 hrs to trace my wallet as they have to wait for the bus to reach the other interchange. They gave me new bridge interchange number and as i was calling them, my phone went flat!! Oh my.. wat else can happen? Do i borrowed hp from another person to call. Feel so bad... i no money to pay her and i made quite a number of calls.
After a number of calls, hz called me and say he is at the bus stop and ask if i know the plate number. so touched!! He specially went down to help me see if can stop the bus. But the problem is i do not know the plate number. I only know the one of the bus after that bus. I tried calling boon lay interchange to ask but too late. Hz called and say that he is on the later bus.
After a while, ee soon called me and say that the drive of the later bus has reported my wallet to boon lay and new bridge interchange. Apparently hz told the uncle wat happened.
Anyway, i was supposed to meet ching ping to imm. She called me den i told her wat happened. I wanted to walk to hz's place but she asked me to wait for her somwhere den she come n find me. I went to jurong west police centre to make a police report while waiting for ching ping to come. The policemen were very nice oso. They helped me look for numbers that i will need to call n cancel my cards and stuff.
Then... when i was halfway thru cancelling my giro link card, someone called me (jus 5 seconds after i've changed my sim card with ching ping's phone). Someone picked up my wallet den called my ex-colleague whose number was inside my wallet. He gave my colleague his number so i can call him. Finally i went down to SMU to get my wallet back from him.
Wah.............. wat an eventful day. So scared.. nearly scared my life out of me when i realised tt my wallet was lost.. sigh... gotta be more careful next time. Dun think i will be so lucky again..
