Do you believe in MIRACLES?

Have you ever lose something so precious?
Something even money can't buy?
Or even someone?

You know, sometimes it's hard for us to believe in miracles. Especiallty those near-death patients, those who lost precious items. Many!

And many of us, realistically would of course give up. And accept the sad truth that we just "lose" it and what we need to do now is to take precaution from that moment onwards.

I don't know whether you (yes YOU!) know about this or not. But I lost my 5 year old black nike soft wallet. =( at asia cafe.

Let me tell you precisely what happened.

It was about our breaktime, 11-12. I walked to Asia Cafe and sat at table number B14. After ordering my food, i sat down with the rest of the gang. Bakshish, Thesdave and of course, Brian. So my food came, i TOOK out my wallet and paid.
And later on, I just grasp and hold onto it. There was this indian lady, asking for donation. But you know, being financially effluent, i can't afford donating too much all the time. So i held onto my wallet tight and gave a sympatic shook to the lady.

Well, i held onto it. But i had to eat! Stupid me, never bother to put it in the bag. I had my wallet held in between my crossed legs and just ate my food greedily.

Later on, we left the place and went for class. I did not feel my wallet's gone! Not until about 9.30pm at night.

In my wallet there's
-cash
-cards (Atm, credit card, license)
- and most precious of all, prayer cards, pictures

I was deeply appalled. I was so disappointed at myself for being such a klutz or 404.
(noun an unintelligent person; MORON, DIMWIT.
example - I wouldn't ask him, he's a 404.)

So i sent out smses to everyone i could possibly help, Neo, Siva, Ying, Carol, Misty, since they lived nearby. And I called Shannon to ask whether he has any friends who could help me to look for my wallet at Asia Cafe. I posted messages online and posted messages in facebook. With a glimpse of hope that my wallet would be saved by someone. I sent messages to people asking for prayers, Jennifer and my buddy Esther.

Recently, as you can see I just lost my I/C and also quite alot of money. And to replace my I.C, it's really really expensive for me. It burns my pocket. (alot)
Anyway, i disabled my credit card and they said that there is no transaction made. THANK GOD.. it's not been used somewhere at Sunway Pyramid or Pavillion. @@

And well, to block it, they would have to cancel my current credit card. And for a replacement it's another RM50.. omg... i lost my I.C, Driving license.."P" due 5th October 2009, ATM..all these need money to replace man... omg...

i can't study thinking of how broke I am. I can't study thinking about my whole stupidity and foolishness. I stayed up until about 2am....just can't sleep. kept praying praying praying praying praying........

Woke up at 6am..and started the day with prayers. Reached college at 7am. And the scariest thing to do is... driving 15km with an EMPTY tank. and u have just 7 bucks in ur pocket. This time, i drove at the slow lane because tank almost empty... =(

Found a parking in front of Asia Cafe. Well, went down the car and went rounds and rounds around asia cafe. Asked the workers there. They don't really seem to understand what's "dompet" and "wallet" and it's not really helpful when i dont have a picture of my wallet as well. So to my utter disappointment, I just walked around looking helpless and sad. I peered into the drain like so many times...until the MPSJ guy who's clearing the drain start looking at me strangely. I looked around asia cafe but still cannot find.

Then..the cleaners noticed me and told their "higher ranking" friend ..jersey shirt number 40. that i lost my wallet. That guy seems passionate to find my wallet. He asked the counter (which i asked earlier on) whether they found a wallet. But the kak say "tak ada". =( soo...i went back into the car and waited for Brian. And prayed again for a good 5 minutes. Came down the car...and then walked to college.

On my way, there...i heard someone "psst-ing" at me. so i turned around and saw the asia cafe guy asked me to follow him. Feeling abit of light shining, followed him there. He asked me to wait at the table and called jersey guy no 40.

He came and said...they "could" have find my wallet. Then i followed him to the counter and then...the kak asked for my name.. then i showed my student ID.

"LOH YA FUI" and then they apologised.

=(

They said... the wallet's stacked somewhere. Can't find. But now they found it! The no40 guy said he kept asking around and then they found it in the end! =D

It was wrapped in a plastic with a big label "LOH YA FUI" there.
So happy!!! That i didn't know what to do and I cried. Because i can't believe GOD is so real. I really really prayed. (not till i sweat blood out but still... )

And while i was buying nasi lemak, i cried in front the aunty cz at first i looked at here.. but i didnt buy anything from her.. felt bad..then she and her husband consoled me and said i was lucky.

And i really think so. ;)

Because i cant imagine how much my mom would screw me if i tell her i lost my whole wallet. My mom is not really a person particular about my results but dude... when it's about money... omg.

Anyway.. i prayed this prayer to St Anthony..

" O Holy St Anthony, gentlest of saints,
your love for God and charity for His creatures,
made you worthy when on earth to possess miraculous powers.
Miracles waited on your word,
which you were ever ready to speak for those
in trouble or anxiety.
Encouraged by this thought,
I implore of you to obtain
(state request here).
The answer to my prayers may require a miracle,
even so, you are the Saint of Miracles.
O gentle and loving St Anthony,
whose heart was ever full of human sympathy,
whisper my petition into the ears of the Sweet Infant Jesus,
who loved to be folded in your arms,
and the gratiture of my heart will ever be yours.
(followed by Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be)
Amen."

I'm sorry for posting up a catholic prayer. It's just i'm really thankful and I can't believe I can actually find back my wallet. Because in a place like KL. Who would bother to return it right?
I'm sorry that this is a reallly long post. So thank you for reading this. I just wanna say Thanks to God for being so awesome. If you have any lost items, pray to God earnestly and i'm sure He can find for you. God can raise the dead to life. what more just finding my measly wallet?
