After a delay of a few weeks, I am once again blogging. Here are just a few miscellaneous events from the last week in our life.

1. We are in the middle of a rat infestation. Score so far:

Rats= 0

Tropical Weedas=3

Matches still in progress= ??? (hopefully not very many)

We have heard that the daily rains are driving them inside.

2. Lippo Village is hosting street car race on its new race track. This weekends events were small in scale, however in November, Lippo Village will host a Formula 1 A1 race that will draw teams from all over the world. This Sunday we drove down to the track, parked our car, and attended the race. When we returned to our car we found the following sticker "Achilles Radials: It's all about trust" on our car (in both the front and back). All the other cars around us also had the stickers as well. Apparently, you shouldn't trust your car with them when at a car race in which they sponsor.

3. Neil and I competed in a fun run on Saturday morning where we got to run on the race track mentioned above. About 3 minutes into my race the heavens opened and downpour began. It was a miserable experience for a few minutes until I realized it cooled things off and it was a lot of fun! When the race was done, people were given tags regarding their place so they could collect prizes they had won. All the women runners were given a tag that said "winner's woman". Seeing as I didn't do very well, I'm glad Janet didn't run!

4. Neil will make his theatrical debut this coming weekend SPH High School's version of "The Wizard of Oz" where he stars as a munchin.

5. The weekend after next, I will be in the mountains with my Grade 11 students for a Spiritual retreat. It will be fun to be with students outside the school campus.

Following these two events over the next few weeks, I will return to a more normal blogging routine. Don't forget to email or comment!
