Thankfully, none of my other housemates stuff were touched.<br /><br />The dude (or dudes) took the money which was meant for my tithe for the month. I think he(they) is(are) screwed for stealing that money. FACE YOUR MAKER AND DIE! FOOL!!! (hooray for grammatically correct english)<br /><br />Moral of the story:<br /><ol><li>Close your windows. Even if you live on the 12th floor, when there's a will, there's a way for them.</li><li>Buy desktops. Big bulky stuff is hard to transport out of the window from 12 storey's above.</li><li>Don't leave substantial amounts of cash in the house.</li><li>Get home contents insurance.</li></ol><p>I surprisingly, am more upset at the fact that I suffered from food poisoining last night and couldn't sleep properly than from the theft incident. But I am also thankful they didn't steal my guitar stuff, or else i'd have been absolutely livid. That one I guarantee will hunt them down to the ends of the earth and hang them by wiring a guitar string through their balls. </p><p>Anyways. Other than the loss of the two items (laptop and cash) , nothing else was taken and no one was hurt, so that's all good. </p><p>Time to go buy a new computer. </p>daniel leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06019997063333580842noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889060.post-21462514013357330022008-10-21T08:51:00.002+08:002008-10-21T08:51:59.085+08:00MaxisI have now ported over from Digi to Maxis.

Don't show mercy.<br /><br />Sigh.<br /><br />It's been a while since I was this annoyed.

In short, he was the model christian, what most of us aspire to be; do good obey God, and be blessed out of your socks.<br /><br />Then along comes Satan (or the Accuser) to God one day, and they have a conversation of sorts where God boasts to Satan about Job, saying how pleased He is with Job. So Satan retorts back, "Of course la, you bless him with so much, anyone can do that and would do that with that kind of blessings." <em>Malaysian slang is my own interpretation.</em><br /><br />Well then God says, "Well dude, go ahead and do whatever you want with Job, but do not harm him."<br /><br />So anyways Satan goes out and takes everything away from Job in one go - all his wealth, his servants, his children; all in a single night.<br /><br />Job's response to all this "misfortune"; after grieving for the loss of everything that he had (read tearing his robes and shaving his head), was to get up and say; "Naked I come, and naked I go, God gives and God takes away, and I will praise my God regardless."<br /><br />Reading this got me thinking quite a bit. More often at the first sign of trouble, we end up questioning "why why why waaaaiiiiiii God did you allow this to happen... I've been loyal and faithful and etc" and go off into a state of depression. And justifiably so. It's the natural and normal human response.<br /><br />Job however, passed the test/challenge that was put before him with flying colurs.<br /><br /><em>Even without everything, will you still love Me?</em><br /><em></em><br />Or<br /><em></em><br /><em>Do you love Me for what I (can) give; or do you love Me for who I AM?</em><br /><em></em><br />Boy, talk about tough questions.<br /><br />Job, you the man.daniel leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06019997063333580842noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889060.post-75537718588884358392008-08-28T09:12:00.002+08:002008-08-28T09:18:35.788+08:001 year......is a long time.
