April Showers

It has been raining on an almost daily basis lately, way after spring equinox and Ching Ming. I am probably one of the very few who actually don’t mind the rainy weather – well, as long as it doesn’t mess up my Korean drama viewing, which unfortunately it does. But I’m more inclined to blame Astro than the rain for the service disruption.

Justice delayed is justice denied. While goodwill ex-gratia payments had been announced to the six sacked judges and their surviving families, it is by no means an apology. However, the former lord president was still thankful and viewed it as a moral victory. What a honourable and decent guy.

Much has been grunted and squealed (pun very much intended) about the pig project. I call it the Swine Whine. Fingers were pointed and politicians-turn-bloggers were all too happy to blog about it and heap criticisms on others in their blogs (and even went as far as to sarcastically congratulate the masses for their voting choice). The mainstream media was also making a pig’s ear out of the issue until it was revealed that the project was actually approved by the previous administration (which tried to defend itself by saying the approval was only in principle) which had even gone on a study trip to Germany (on the tax payers’ account but of course) to study modern pig farming technology.

Frankly, nothing surprises me anymore.
