After church service today, mom and i returned to the apartment and got it tidied up properly. We re-arranged the furniture and it finally felt more like home. I also spent the day doing house chores (vacuumed the carpet and mopped the floor), and hence did not manage to blog about a terrible incident that happened on Thursday evening.
For now, i am just gonna do a quick update of what had happened because it is near midnight here already. As for the story of how it happened, i'll leave it to tomorrow (and i really promised this time!).
As if having to spend the exorbitant medical fee for mom's flu didn't spoil my week enough, an even more unfortunate event happened that could easily made last week one of the worst weeks i've ever had.
To know what happened to me, i'll just post up two FB status here. The first one was posted at 1am+ on Saturday, after the much-talked-about end-of-the-world date has passed and the world is still around.
Uh huh, you didn't read wrongly. I lost my wallet and passport on Thursday evening. Here's the FB status i posted on that day:
This was the second time i lost my wallet. The first time was last year before i went to USA to visit my brother. However, my passport was still with me and i could still prove my identity with my passport.
This time, i lost my passport too. I am now basically a person without identity, and this happened when i am in a foreign land. Without our passports when we are overseas is something really dreadful. You may not be able to imagine how terrible i felt when it happened.
I did write "felt"; uh huh, in past tense form. I did feel upset and sad on Thursday and Friday, but was ok by Friday evening. Over the weekend, i even went out shopping happily with mom.
So have i grown to be a more optimistic now? Maybe, but i'd think that i've learnt to be grateful for the things that happened in my life, and appreciate that there are always blessings in every mishap.
I will relate the incident tomorrow. Am now having body ache for doing a day of house chores, and so i ought to go and rest now.
It's gonna be a brand new week tomorrow, and it's Christmas week! Yay!
