2 in 1 : yesterday and today

Yesterday
- Yesterday (8th July 2007) a series of event happened. Basically it's not something that would go down in the history books but well something that I took note of. The 1st thing was that it was a cell outreach and we went for a movie "TRANSFORMERS". Now, everybody has been talking about this show..and i've watched it before..and it's awesome. Well, the group consisted of 2 generations...the constant movie-goers generation and the haven't gone for movie in sometime generation. Basically means parents and children, only Uncle Jonathan amongst the parents goes to the cinema regularly. I even over-heard my Dad telling Uncle Peter Yeow (Ji Mi's dad) " I haven't been to the cinema in at least 10 years" and the reply my Dad got was "10? 15 sounds more like it." Well, they didn't really understand the show i guess, but glad they came along it was fun for them to come see what we are into and stuff like that.

Yesterday
-Yesterday was also the 1st time our church had our young adult service and i personally think it was great! Seeing our peers join in for the service, i think that this will be a great success. Pastor Ong turned up in Shirt and for the 1st time in a long while without a coat and tie. So the service to be relaxed was meant to be..the message certainly didn't lack any impact that's for sure.

Today
- Today will be the day i'll always remember as the day i came face to face with death in a form of a toll's bar. I've driven for a year plus now and in addition to that i've been driving on the elevated highway for the past 6 months going to work. So i'm really familiar with the roads there...what made it more ironic was that in the past few days i've been going to KLCC more frequently than i can think of. What happened was....i drove towards the smart-tag lane, already with my smart tag facing the wind-screen. I was going at walking pace to be exact.

The only situations are:

1. TAG SUCCESSFUL - The board shows how much your credit has left and the bar goes up you proceed with your journey. And normally your smart tag gadget "beeps" as a signal of successful tag

2. TAG UNSUCCESSFUL - You reach into the box and on the screen pops "Kad tidak Sah" and you either get help from the workers there or you have to reverse and head to the cash lane instead.

- What happened today was ...the gadget beeped and when i was about to accelerate off, the bar did not go up...i quickly jammed the brakes and i tell you. It was just a few cm away from shattering my wind-screen. Close call.
