I've just spent the past hour cleaning up this blog and giving it a new (yet familiar) look. It's refreshing to be able to put your thoughts and gripes down on paper (?); applying it onto someone else's face would most likely bring about serious legal complications!

It's still raining and i'm loving it however the nice old ladies who do up the school garden aren't. There's just something about falling rain that keeps me calm and at peace with the world. I smile at everything, swear at nothing and love life twice as much. God is in everything i do and He knows i need something to keep me sane.

Another long break... THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!!!

We've returned from Klang and work has begun in earnest. I've been reading up on the latest row between Rocky/Ooi and the BIG BOYS. It seemed strange that THEY waited until Rocky's 48th 'libellious' post before initiating action (as reported in the Star 30-01-2007)! It's almost like an elephant trying to screw a mouse... 'cept that maybe, elephants are afraid of mice?

Let's move on...

We had a frightening experience 2 nights ago while driving home from grocery shopping. A van load of drunk-assed a**eholes chased us for nearly 2 kilometres just because we overtook them AFTER STOPPING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON. Linda was sooo traumatized by the whole thing. It nearly ended in a collision but thank God, they didn't hit us. Driver was screaming slurred obscenities and gesticulating wildly at us--- if it wasn't serious it would have been hilarious. He got bored; overtook us; sped ahead then stopped to wait for us --- got bored and sped off again. DRINKING, DRIVING, TESTOSTERONE and TEMPER... not a good combination.

Majlis Perbandaran Padawan ought to buck up and shut down any and all shops selling booze illegally. It's becoming serious.
(note: the above incident wasn't the first... nor will it be the last.)

On a different vein...

Classes for Self-Expression 'kicked-off' last week. I'm taking 3 classes this semester and enjoying this needed distraction. Getting paid for doing something you like is even BETTER! yay.

Aside from having more responsibilities in my day job, i've decided to be less of a slacker this year. A new me for a new year.
David is growing taller and leaner. He recently discovered the joys of jumping ( beds, sofa, sofa-floor, papa's belly, etc.), much to our chargrin. Horrific images of broken limbs and deep cuts flash pass our mind's eye each time he takes a running leap onto or off anything. He's such an angel when he chooses to be one.

Oh, it hasn't stop raining since the new year... except for the odd 1 -2 hour breaks a day. Thank God for the Tidal Gates at the Sarawak River Barrage and the nice folks manning them 24/7. I love the rain. Today's temperature - 25.5 deg. Cel.
