Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am yours

Saturday evening, last day of May in 2008
I have only myself to blame and I will mete out my punishment. At the same time, I am still grieving over the wretched reality - loss of my purple pouch, mobile phone, mobile chain (which is an expensive birthday gift from Eric and ZY), IC, ATM card, ezlink card and lip balm. How could my hopelessly forgetful brain take a good twenty minutes to register the hanging of my pouch in the toilet cubicle? I wanted to slap myself hard! This is the second time I lost my IC so you can imagine the hole I am going to burn in my pocket and all the trouble I am getting into! The trips to various places to get my cards made again, the money I have to spend on another mobile, the anguish I have to subject myself to… … Will I ever want to go to Ikea again? After all, I lost my pouch there. The floodgate was nearly unlocked when I was reporting my loss at the information counter. And Joash repeated “Gillian cry” while staring innocently into my eyes. I nearly burst out when he hugged my legs, apparently trying to console me. My mind was in a whirlwind on the journey back home. I shouldn't have brought my IC out. I shouldn't have kept my ezlink card in my pouch. I should have asked Sharon or Mich to hold on to my belongings. *deep sigh* There was little I could do. I have lost many precious messages and contacts along with my mobile. Seriously, why doesn’t the person just take my cash and mobile phone, and leave my cards alone? I had found wallets, mobiles and even an entire bag, and given them all back to their owners. Why can’t this soul be kind enough to do the same for me? Okay, I cannot expect others to be like me but then again, I really wish… … Okay, I still want to thank God because I didn't bring my house keys out and there wasn't really a lot of cash in my pouch too. Thank God I didn't bring my purse with me (that would mean loss of many other cards). Made a police report – Tommy has driven me to Woodlands NPC after getting Sharon and Joash home. Mr Chong said that if I am not going to use my IC for the next two weeks, I should wait and see if the person will return my cards to me. Well, I wouldn’t be around then. Made all the necessary calls too with the help of Mich, to deactivate my cards. Kenneth was also busy looking into all the bins for my pouch. Think I spoilt everyone’s evening with my absent-mindedness. I am so so so so so so sorry. So dear friends, if you happen to read this post, please email or sms me your mobile number – am getting my SIM card on Monday evening. Will be so lost for the next 48 hours. And I am fuming mad with myself! =(
