When we got up this morning, we found the shower not working. We thought it's an interruption to the water supply and didn't think too much. We had to leave early.
When we reached home after dinner around 7 PM, I noticed the water tap in the porch disconnected from the pipe and laying on the floor. Jesse wondered why no water flowed from the open pipe.
I checked the water meter and found that the water supply was locked.
We looked at the crime scene a bit more and deduced that someone climbed in and while he was on his way out, stepped on the tap for leverage. But he / she was too heavy and she broke the tap. Flowing water would be a telltale sign someone came in, so he / she turned off the water supply and that explained why we didn't get any water in the morning.
So, it must have happened between the time we went to sleep and the time we got up. I knew I should not have slept so early.
Last year, something similar happened. After sending Jesse to tuition, I came home to find the water tap turned on. I turned it off.
A few days later, someone broke into our house and stole 2 notebooks (the computer type, not the paper type), a printer and cash.
Worrying for the safety of the family, I called 999. I was asked to go to the Kelana Jaya station to make a report. I did. I met Sgn Nizam who spoke to me. He advised me to get the RA to work with the police. He promised to arrange more frequent patrol in our area.
Earlier, I called my dad to tell him what happened and see it he could get us a plumber. The plumber would come at 9 in the morning.
You see, if we turned on the water supply, water will all flow out from the open pipe (sans the tap.) None will get to the shower and other places. If we turned it off, we also could not get any water.
I took a shower from the wastage of the RO machine and filled 4 pails of water for Jesse and Kathleen tomorrow morning. I may stay home to wait for the plumber.
I will keep an eye outside the house these few days - sleep will have to take a backseat.

Some quotes
"The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian."
~ A.W. Tozer
"If we have the Word without the Spirit, we dry up.
If we have the Spirit without the Word we blow up.
If we have the Spirit and the Word we grow up."
~ Unknown
"Character is what you are in the dark."
~ D. L. Moody
"One verse in every six in the first three Gospels relates either directly or indirectly to money. Sixteen of our Lords forty-four parables deal with the use of misuse of money. A loving, joyful, liberal giving to the Lords work is an acid test of a spiritual heart, pleasing to God."
~ William Allen
"When you come to knowing God, the initiative lies on His side. If He does not show Himself, nothing you can do will enable you to find Him. And, in fact, He shows much more of Himself to some people than to others---not because He has favourites, but because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition. Just as sunlight, though it has no favourites, cannot be reflected in a dusty mirror as clearly as in a clean one."
~ C. S. Lewis

New life?
I got a new battery for my HP iPAQ. In the past, I have to keep on charging it. It won't take long (around 2 hours) before it runs flat. If I took some calls, it would almost immediately kill the battery.
Now, it'a already been almost 2 full days and the battery is still half full. The new battery has given new life to my HP iPAQ. I have my contacts, calendar, etc. all in the phone. With a WiFi connection, I can use Gmail Mobile to read my mail and Opera Mini to surf net. If I want, I can even run fring to access Skype.
Vista has been acting up ... I formatted it and installed Windows 7 and the notebook is back to tip top form ... it has never been working so fast and well for a long time. Windows 7 has breathed new life into the old trusty notebook.
I wonder what message I am supposed to get from these two incidents.
