Wet Wet Wet

This is the most rain i have encountered in recent memory. It has been raining without fail for weeks! The worse part of rain is it makes my car really dirty! And washing it is just a perverse way of wasting money. But like any good car owner, I continue to keep it clean. I even sent my car for a thorough clean on Monday. Had the guys at my regular car grooming shop give it a good polish and a wax job, as well as to clean the upholstery. Sigh.. I did not even get a chance to enjoy my gleaming, almost new looking car, because it started raining cats and dogs before they finished! Oh well.. I console myself by saying it is good thing i had waxed the car, because it will extend its paint life. Yeah... right!

We had a great seafood lunch today with Lisa, Kok Loon, Nigel, Allan, Chris and Chui today in Klang. What an adventure, meeting at the side of the highway to convoy to a restaurant somewhere in Klang. Why an adventure you might ask? Well.. none of us knew exactly where we were going. The blind leading the blind. However, we are proud to annouce that we made it there for a great meal. The crab dish was excellent! We then proceeded back to Bumpsar for ice-cream, Thanks, Allan and Nigel for the treat! Off course, on the way back from Klang, it rained.

Sing Song and Virgin Vibes

My son called me up the other day at 6am his local time, making his half asleep mother dial the numbers and all. He was very excited as he had learnt a new song. Now, my son has until recently been half deaf due to damage to his ear drums caused by a serious illness a few years ago. He had recently undergone surgery to repair his damaged ear drums and has since recovered most of his hearing. He has been not exactly a lark learning to pray, I was worried for a while that he had gotten his mother's singing genes. Well.. he called and said "Dad, I learnt a new song!" And he proceeded to sing. I was very pleasantly surprised that he sang the whole song, lyrics and all in tune and in the same key!! I was so happy to learn of his new found vocal prowess, I could not even remember the name of the song that he sang, only that it was a Christmas song. Cool! There is hope.

Cousin Jade and her boyfriend were walking down the street in Brisbane, when they spotted Richard Branson. Jade whispered to her boyfriend.. look its Richard Branson, to whom he replied; who?? Hmmm.. he needs to read more papers..

Anyways, she goes "its Richard Branson of Virgin!", to which he very loudly replied, "He is a 50 some VIRGIN??" And this was within earshot of the fellow! Nyuk nyuk.. Poor sod.

The Trilogy of Mumbo Jumbo

Either the Waichowski brothers operate on a higher plane or they simply cannot resolve their own mumbo jumbo, that is the Matrix universe.

I expected resolve from the final instalment of the Matrix trilogy, but I was sorely disappointed as many questions remain unanswered and in fact, they introduced even more unanswered questions into the mix, such as Agent Smith calling the Oracle "Mother" suggesting that the Oracle was in fact the creator of Agent Smith. And after scouring the net for better enlightenment, I can come to only one conclusion.

They intend to do more Matrix movies. They have intentionally left enough questions unanswered to merit another movie. Sigh.. The only thing which is answered, is GREED. Make more movies.. make more money.
