Shocker

So the earthquake has sent a shock through our life (excuse the pun). Shazam was off to Sri Lanka to celebrate christmas with his family and we haven’t heard anything from him yet. We’re all worried, what with the death toll rising each time you switch on the TV.

Fortunately Singapore was not hit, so nothing over there has gone terribly wrong (like always). I’ve spoken to my mother and she told me that they were fine. As far as she knew only a few big waves had crashed into the shore and that was it.

Over here things are good. We’ve been spending some time with Fish (Banana’s sister) and their kids. We just watched the Incredibles again (third time, for me, first time for the others) and that was fun. I rather like the Incredibles. It might actually be the best movie produced by Pixar.

It was quite cool, cause we gotta take out the car to go home with first (a lot of trust, hopefully not misplaced) and one of the kids (zak), though that was almost an afterthought (Just kidding). The funny thing was that Zak actually behaved really well while he was away from his sisters and parents. I guess he liked getting all the attention from two adults. As a result he was actually quiet and respectful (though he admittedly did have a bit of trouble with staying quiet throughout the movie).

I’m starting to get the feeling that his tantrums are all about attention, (Duh). Hey, at least he’ll grow up a fighter. Families with more children seem to produce more fighters (and more giver upers as well, but I have a feeling Zak will be a fighter).

Alright I have to bugger off. People around me are waiting to go out towards the video store (they need my ‘expert’ opinion on the matter of movies). That and people are singing the song ‘this is the song that never ends’ around me and I’m singing along, so the flow of this text is getting interrupted a bit. (Men! Pfah! At least women can multi task (and they have breasts!)).
