Long Story Cut Short : Cherish

Don't ignore this wall-of-text. Read it.

Headed to T1, Tampines Mall then Century Square today. Scavenged stuff and looked around. Whilst waiting for the lift, me and my 2 other classmates decided to sit down at one of the comfy cushioned seats near the century square lifts. Innocent Brendon took out his wallet and placed it on the seat as it was uncomfortable sitting with a wallet below your butt. The lift beckoned innocent Brendon like a treacherous cunning plan. Innocent Brendon went into the lift and , you guessed it, he totally forgot his wallet and he still wasn't aware of it. When innocent Brendon went to the basement of Century Square to get something to eat, he realized that his wallet wasn't in his pocket. Innocent Brendon was flustered , panicky and at the loss of what to do. At that point of time, innocent Brendon felt totally weak and feeble. The feeling of not being able to do anything about a particular matter, which I'm sure many could identify with, makes you feel useless and lousy. However, despite all the flustering, piss-off-ing, panicking and whatnot, innocent brendon headed to the Customer Service on Level 2 at Century Square. AFTER ALL, he wasn't dumb and his sanity was preserved for a better cause. When innocent Brendon approached the Customer Service Counter, the Customer Service Assistant asked " Lost wallet? ". You could imagine the face on innocent Brendon's face - EPIC. Then innocent Brendon got back his wallet. Lucky enough, innocent Brendon only lost around $30. Although the guy returned the wallet, he took the money. Boy, little did the kind ass-soul know the price of the wallet - well LUCKY for innocent Brendon , that kind dude did not take the wallet. The wallet costed $150. On top of that, innocent Brendon had deposited $200 into his bank account an hour before he lost his wallet. If the person hadn't return the wallet and Brendon hadn't deposit his $200 into the bank, the total asset loss value would be $380. Innocent brendon texted to the guy who returned the wallet " Thanks for returning the wallet ".

2 Elementary-Level Values we must learn:
1) Never put too much money into your wallet.
2) Always be aware of your belongings.

Amidst all that emotional roller-coaster-ing. I learned a very important lesson. As cliche as this may sound to many of you:

Cherish the people around you. Treasure the things that you have. Because some things when lost, can never be recovered. Treat every single day as if it was the last.
