Haiz.. today I feel I did something good yet something stupid. Just now when me and alina were at Bugis, I happened to chance upon a wallet on the floor. It seemed like everyone was ignoring it and just walking pass it... So I picked it up... The aunty who was a shopkeeper told me to pass it to the security guard. So I went around looking for one... On the way however I opened and saw it was from an Indonesian student. I think he just withdrawed money cause there had got to be at least 10 fifty dollar notes (singaporean currency). Adding up to about a 1000 dollars and there was some Indonesian currency. All the cards were Indonesian cards. I passed it to the security counter and I had to do some procedure to declare that I picked it up and they counted the money in front of me... After that i told alina that if other ppl had picked up the wallet, i think they would not be able to withstand not taking the money. I told her even if I took it i would not be able to get over my conscience... haha!!! My mom told me she was very proud of me, cause alot of ppl are money minded but i choose to be honest... Then my brother told me I was really stupid. I should have taken the money and used it... Anyways I have no regrets doing what I did with my whole heart. Just that he scared me and told me the securtiy guard will probably take the money... haiz... I think I should have given it to the police instead... Did I do something wrong. Now I feel damn stupid. Just cause I wanted to get it out of my hands as fast of possible so i passed it to the security guard. Am I being foolish. The security guard looks honest but can I base my judgement solely on that. I think now the situation is not within my means. I can only wish the person will get back his wallet and belongings.
