Nokia N99

Apparently, as Nokia launched the eagerly awaited yet ill-fated N95 smartphone in Asia, several Chinese phone manufacturers were quietly shipping a souped-up version of an identical one named the N99 in many countries including Thailand.

Not only did they create an exact replica of Nokia's flagship phone, they even added a dual sim card module and features that make the $300 imitation a bargain to own!

Interested to see what the big comotion is all about, I was brought to several locations in Bangkok to hunt down this mysterious device. But so far, it remain as elusive as it is named, with me unable to locate a glimpse. Let's see what happened next tomorrow.

Tom Yam and N99 Nokia Mobile

Well, as it turn out, my one week stay in Thailand is both physically rewarding to my taste bud and work.

The project went smoothly despite two power outages at the client site for several hours. Cars are like ants in formation along highway as congestion is built into the culture of every drivers. For the past few days, its restaurant after restaurant for meals and I am now on my way to one for dinner. The jam is so bad I could take the time to write this article!

Anyway, let's remember Daisy as she flew out on Tuesday back to the states. Jerrie's family has invited us over on Saturday evening for dinner and I sure look forward to some intreating dishes from south Africa.

One of my good friend has returned for two weeks as they seek to apply for long-term visa in the states. And he is now into full-time pastoral study there. We exchanged many views and biblical states of the two countries and it was indeed a blessed time! I have invited them over this Sunday for the 11am service and hope to see you guys at the second service.

We are almost there now...so update you guys more later. Stomach growling.

God bless.

Gen 13 - Thinking Points

1. The earliest world currency originates from Lydia (modern Turkey) around 650BC. The Lydian coins were made of a weighed amount of precious metal and were stamped with a picture of a lion.
2. Approximate wealth of Abram - no official estimate has been recorded but it was comparable to Job as having probably half or less of Job.
3. Abram and Lot handed common disputes well as should be like with any believers today. Is there a clear approach you would settle a dispute with a christian today?
4. Knowing the will of God always involve the use of our God-given intelligence and better judgement besides His direct intervention to closing "doors". In the case of Lot, he chose the physical value of the new location over the spiritual danger of its proximity to Sodom. Before long, that compromise lead to a slippery slope that ultimately destroys his family
5. What is the significance of an altar Abram built? Is there a spiritual air of empowerment in worship or it's simply a way to remember an encounter with God
