From the pits to heavens

This 2 days had really been a quite a roller-coaster ride to me.

Brought Dear and Ah di to the beach for a walk on Sunday noon. Ah Di loved the beach, but hated the water, and never really had any experience swimming before. So this time, I forced him to swim by carrying him into the water then releasing him to let him swim a short distance back to the shore.

He din like his first swim, and ignored me after he hit the shore. After a few more tries, he gradually grew to like swimming a bit, and started to smile after the swims. Will upload the video later when I have the time.

Realised that I lost my wallet at the beach after me and dear went over to Mac, and after going back to search the spot where we walked the dog, we concluded that my wallet was officially lost and we went to make a police report. I was really upset cos a lot of my important identification stuff were in the wallet, not to mention the hundred odd dollars in it.

After that, we sent Ah Di back home and went back to search again, but to no avail. After giving up and returning home again, we received a call from mum saying that a Caucasian came to my place to return me the wallet with everything intact. The Caucasian told mum that he was initially waiting for someone to search for the wallet at the beach, but after sometime he decided to return the wallet to my home.

I was really relieved when I heard the news.

Through mum’s description, I realised that we had saw the Caucasian with his kids earlier on the beach. It was really amazing that the Caucasian took the trouble to take a cab to my home to return me the wallet, instead of keeping it for himself/ throwing it away/ handing it over to the police. I’m really thankful for his honesty and helpfulness. It saved me a lot of hassle in replacing everything.

It is even more amazing after I realised that my wallet was soaked in seawater, meaning that my benefactor had actually fished it out from the sea.

He did not leave a name nor number which I can identify and thank him for what he did. The only thing I can do for him is to wish him all the best in whatever he does, and may his children grow up strong and healthy. He is a really good model dad to his kids.

I really can’t believe my luck in recovering my wallet.

The emotional turbulence I experienced was pretty overwhelming.


TODAY

Was playing JinYong Online with mika this afternoon when I wanted to log off and check my results in case it came out, then mika msged me in the game that the results were out.

I was quite nervous as mum hovered around me wanting to see my results too.

I checked through my degree audit first and it would not show all my results at one go as I have to scroll down to see my grades. I was very disappointed to see a B+ for my FYP. Partly because me and my partner had worked very hard, and a B+ means that my chances of a 2nd upper honours is close to nil.

I was getting more n more upset. Then I switched over to the proper exam results paper to see the final judgement for a 2nd lower honours. To my surprise, I actually got a 2nd upper.

Super happy sia!
Worked so hard for 4 years, and it finally paid off!!!

From yesterday’s lost wallet, to today’s results, my mood has really went from the pit bottom to the heavens! SHIOK!!!
