My Lenovo Notebook got burnt!

 Something don't happen everyday. Or never! It was not due to carelessness or mistake. I was at my usual self this morning using my notebook to read some bloggers and surf the facebook page. Maybe, I was not aware of God Presence today ... and then:

Fire burst out of my notebook as I was using it. A big scare as the smoke was thick and furious.

battery compartment burnt (battery already removed)

The battery was charred. My daughter helped to put it out with a wet towel. I switched it on at about 10am to charge the battery. At about 11:35am, fire came out and burnt most of the plastic casing underneath the notebook. As the fire was very fierce and strong. my table was burnt by the plastic that dropped off the notebook.

The strong burning smell stayed for the whole day, even till now as I am writing this. Thank God, the notebook is still working and I can still retrieve any file and use it as per normal.

Last Friday, the screen of my handphone was slightly unstable and flickering. It happened for a few days already and so, to avoid any sudden break down, I decide to change a new phone (of the same brand), a cheapest of phone - OPPO, causing me $359 from Singtel retail shop. And today, this will be my second unexcepted breakdown. Is the quality of China's product so bad? Both the phone and the notebook could hardly completed more than a year of usage. :(  

My damage shaver

Also, my the shield of my shaver had a slight tear and cut my skin when shaving, arhh! Had to replace a new shaver :((. Triple breakdown, why like that??

I then paused and asked: "God, what are you teaching me for all these sudden breakdowns?" A impulse- thought came to me - a season of "a time to break down, and a time to build up (Ecclesiastes 3:3b). There are many things we can't control. Breakdown is one of those time. I pray that, there will be lest of these in this year. But then, thankfully, these breakage can be replaced by money. There are worst thing that once broken cannot be restored, like health, relationship, friendship, ...

Cherish the things I have, because we never know when it will be broken or come to an end. Things broken or lost cannot be replaced easily and need to build up slowly again. Learn to appreciate and be thankful to God for the good health I have and the friends and family that God has given me.

Yes, God show up in unexpected way and speak to me today! And I heard Him and God's Presence linger with me the whole day!

God Bless!
