Back from Malaysia

The Alpha Weekend was indeed an event that created an impact in people's life. Not only did it change people's life, it is also a lesson for all of us. This is a true event that happened...

On Saturday morning on the way to malaysia, after the malaysian customs, i boarded the coach that would be bringing us to the golf resort where the weekend would be held. One of my church members went up the bus to put his laptop and then down to have a stretch. I was sitting at the front seat of the bus. A chubby indian man came up the bus. He was wearing a blue flowery shirt and i thought that he was the tourist guide. He walked to the middle of the bus and sat there. I thought to myself, maybe the guide would just be accompanying the bus, therefore, he didn't bother about taking the front seat. Shortly after, he stood up and walked out of the bus saying at the same time that he boarded the wrong bus. My church member boarded the bus and realised that his laptop bag was different. he held it up and upon further examination, found that it was different. When he opened it, it contained only a 1.5 liter water bottle filled with water. The indian man stole the laptop. The professional thief was never found.

That's a reminder. Never leave your belongings unattended especially in Malaysia.

I'm on off today, wednesday and friday.. Boy, how nice is it... how i wish that i could be on off 3 days a week for my whole ns life...

Cheers!
