Following the hit and run incident, I made a police report with no investigation conducted. Some more paid RM2 for the report. Then filed an insurance claim in Perodua service center. Initial estimation of the repair: RM1.8k - change two doors. The officer in Perodua was indeed the slowest to act. Only when I called him up then the process began. Hopefully the approval is granted this week and the repair can proceed.

It was an unfortunate night. My car which was parked outside the gate and it was well within the boundary, got hit by a car and ran away. Where's the justice?

A long time friend of us (MU ministry) dropped by in our house and handed out his wedding invitation to us. It's an interesting card indeed. A CD holder card. I've been receiving quite a number of wedding cards these few years. Some are conventional and some are creative (like this one). This CD holder card cost about RM3 per piece. He printed 400 copies. Such a big investment. Wish him a happy marriage life.

There will be a series of 40-day prayer for the student ministry. You are encouraged to participate in the prayer. Ops Mustard Seed

What forces the world to be flattened? There are ten. The first three was the genesis. #1 The fall of Berlin wall, the launching of Windows and the rise of PC.

This was made possible by the browser and fiber optic. Do you remember your first time online? Mine was when I started using Netscape. As a result, more people can share their digital content across the boundary. #3 The standardisation of connecting pipeline of information and commerce work flow. This enable people to work together on one another's digital content. These were in mid-to late 90s. What's more in 21st century? Source: The World is Flat
