This week has been kinda horrendous...but it ended with a resounding note of prevailing hope.
This week started LSM 2102 test which is 40 percent..and it was kinda indescribable...hahha. ya. and had stats test on fri... which also din really put me in the best of moods. YAH.. but the most amazing thing happened yesterday. I really think i am really so forgetful..its been countless times i left things on the bus. and I think its been a record with bus 95. It either its jinxed or i am jinxed man. but i choose to believe the former. hahhaa.
anyway... actually marie and i were just recuperating from the stats test and we were contemplating going to bugis for retail therapy. We were at the bus stop at the soc side across science fac.we were kind of in a daze la, den we were talking and we were buying drinks from the dispenser.. i had my wallet on my hand, and 95 came, so we got on the bus with our drinks and all. DUnoe Y me and my warped sense told me i dropped sth when we reached the buona vista stop. SO i asked marie: where's my wallet ah? I checked my bag. DOn't have. I checked the floor everywhere. Dun have. so not on bus. we got off the bus. marie took down the bus number, just in case. gave my bag a big upheaval, and still no wallet. PANIC.
then we took the overhead bridge thinking maybe i left it at the nus bus stop or sth. cant remember whether i tapped my card also. SO we called eugene and the whole world who could possibly be in school to help me check first. we couldnt find any cabs, those got ppl one, no ppl one also wun stop for us lor! den the bus was taking forever, so we called the SBS services, no one picked up at any number we dialled. EVEN LOST AND FOUND! darn.
then eugene called back say dun have at the bus stop. MEANS its on the damn 95 we took!maroe said we should go to the terminal instead then. 95 takes a loop but it may end up at the terminal so we took our chances. I was silently trying to accept the reality that my wallet with everything precious to me, and hundred over dollars inside was gone. Being the v frentic me, i told marie that we should just jay walk, and not cross the overhead bridge and climb those freaking flight of stairs. hahha. so we crossed our half of the road, and suddenly the other side was like swarming with traffic. can't cross. stuck in the middle of the road like 2 kukus. ME AND MY BRIGHT IDEA. hahah. So i said a silent prayer...God, please let me find my wallet!
we saw an opportunity to cross so we dashed across like two siao cha bors. hahha. *sorry marie , for risking your life* hahaha. then there were a train of buses at the bus stop. when we crossed we missed the first 95 at the start of the train of buses. so we walked to the back and we saw another 95. marie went to the bus, saw the bus number plate and shrieked: THIS IS THE SAME BUS WE TOOK JUST NOW! *freak freak freak* really!! i was like in my head: HOW CAN THIS BE!!
we scrambled upt he bus, asked the uncle, he nicely waited while we turned the bus upside down. Checked the bus and floor, same result: v clean. I had this nagging feeling that the wallet dropped in between the seat and i told marie just now. so marie really checked and we found my wallet! intact! with everything inside! MY!!!!!!!!! I WAS REALLY SCREAMING IN GIGGLING WITH GLEE LA! and i hugged marie and told HER SHE IS MY LIFE SAVER! hhahaa.
have to mention: THANK YOU GOD for answering my prayer!!
WAHHHA. that was like so exciting. it got us out of the dreary mood, and we were on the mrt still in total awe of the whole situation. LIKE WHAT ARE THE ODDS!! hahaha.marie called ivan and i babbled to him the whole thing. he was trying to act like very interested la. BUT I DUNCH CARE. i just went on and on. hahhaa.
YEAH!! miracle!
Once again... I LOVE U MARIE! shall make a plaque for you! LIFESAVER AWARD. hahah. it'll be the most unforgettable thing. hhahha. right after the event, i felt like right after that time in JC where i deafeated that snatch thief and got back my handphone. HAHAHHA.
