The day I lost my wallet

I'd like to talk about the day I lost my wallet.
It was a rainy day.
I was very busy at the office the whole day.
Preparing the necessary facts and figures for the meeting which would held on the following day.
Unfortunately, I could not finish in time for the agenda and the documents for the meeting which was really important for us as it was the meeting with our client personnel.
So, I decided to bring some documents and drawings to my house to continue my office work.
I hired a taxi. I carried a quite bulky items that I only tried to get my house with the efforts all I could.
When I arrived to my house and settle up all bulky items on my table, I found that my wallet was not in my pocket. I tried to find all the way I could to find my wallet, all the way from the place where I alighted from the taxi up to the table in the house where I placed these bulky items. I could not find my wallet any where.
Finally, I realized that my wallet was lost on the way I came back to the house from the office.
I could not remember the taxi's license number.
I forgot to get the taxi's slip, so I could not traced it back.
Moreover, I pay the taxi's fares by cash, not by nets, so I could not also trace it too.
I had never lost my wallet before that time.
So, I was very embarrassed and fed up with that situation.
I didn't know what to do.
Therefore, I asked my roommate that what I should do.
As his advice, I first informed to POSB bank that I had lost my bank cards with the wallet and hold my account for a while for preventing of using my bank card by others.
I phoned to the loss & found telephone no. 6552 4525 of City Cab Comfort Taxi.
But, they also had no idea that I could not tell him either taxi's license no. or driver's name.
Nevertheless, I also reported to the neighborhood police station about that I had lost my wallet together with all my identification cards.
Then, I phoned to my manager that I would be late to office the following day because I had to settle the problems occurred due to my wallet lost.
Another problem I had encountered was I was left nothing, that is, no money with me for that time for a while.
So, I had to borrow some amount to money from my room mate because I had also lost MRT cards, cash cards and petty cash together with wallet.
That was my nightmare and bad experience in my life.
From that day of losing my wallet, whenever and wherever I go outside, I always hold my wallet all the time. I don't allow to happen it again.
And I also don't want to do any homework other than office hour because once I sacrificed for the company, and the result was losing my wallet. But, actually, the cause of the problem was carelessness of me.
That was the day in which I lost my wallet.
