Oh my God, there it is
I found my wallet - that is the message.
We are one of those housholds who don't have a maid, but "use" the maid in my sister-in-laws house to assist us with ironing from time to time.
Today, we wanted to bring clothes over today, and my wife asked me to bring her the big green bag that is in the big wardrope. I open the door, look up to the shelve and just stare - my wallet is there.
It is laying there peacefully, just waiting to be found. I swear, it wasn't there the day before yesterday, and yesterday. After one and a half days of running around and changing cards and makijng reports, I found my wallet.
Well, it apparently was in one of those places that are unusual - where I would NEVER put things.
It reminded me of the first time in Malaysia. I misplaced the sugar bowl - and looked for it for three weeks. My wife found it (I dated her at that time) in the back of the refrigerator. A place, where I would NEVER put sugar - and I did this recently again!!
Last Monday, I told everybody around me that I got so used to all the holidays and that currently, working days disturb the routine. I mean, look, there were two days off in that week, and one day in the other week - you get the picture. So I told everybody that I would love to have another two days off - and than I lost my wallet to run around 1.5 days - so conclusion: Take care what you wish for!!!

Hahaha, reminded me of Baine's entry about new inventions. Perhaps a homing device that you can aatch to wallets, keychans and handphones [these items are lost often] and you can track them with a pc!

LOL! At the very least, you got two blogs to entertain us.

Yeah I agree with corpsie's idea. Perhaps, insert a small piece of alarming device in our wallet, and whenever we failed to find it, just press the button on remote control and trace the beeping sound :-) This idea could be applied to other valuable belongings as well, such as PDA haha.
Andreas, luckiy you still found it in the end, though effords are wasted.
