Kimi Has Arrived

Besides Dad and her furkids, Mama's other passions include her rides. Just like us, they are also named after famous people. (Cars have personalities and souls too, she said.) The elder one that stayed here with Tom and family is Ms Sophia (as in Loren), a large black automatic sedan while the younger, that I used to go gallivanting with in Sydney is Mr Kimi (as in Raikkonen, the former F1 champion), a cute white tiptronic sedan.

Now, together with our boxes in the container is Mr Kimi. It took a while to get Mr Kimi out of the port, there were taxes and charges and what not to be paid before we could see him. Thus he was delivered a week later than the other boxes. Mama was so happy to see him that she hugged and kissed Mr Kimi in public when it was delivered. tsk tsk tsk... Shame on you, Mama.

As the battery had gone dead due to prolonged non-use, Mama and Dad had to buy a new battery to get it going again. Mr Kimi was towed from the port to our house. He's not allowed to roam the street until he's legit, anyway.

Mr Kimi upon arrival. Isn't he handsome?

Mama inspecting her darling Mr Kimi. The whole condo complex inhabitants could see her hugging and kissing him. Shame! Shame!

Mr Kimi is undergoing a process of turning him into a Malaysian (no...he doesn't need to sit for any citizenship test). Dad is taking care of everything....inspection, insurance, registration while Mama is playing ignorant....teeheehee. Mama said she took care of Mr Kimi all by herself for six years in Sydney so now it's Dad's turn. In return, Dad is allowed to put his name down as the second driver in the insurance document. Come on Dad, something is better than nothing. What if she had put my name instead? A driving cat? Woohoo!!!!

As for Ms Sophia, she'll start a new life as a staff member of Mama's company. She's been useful as goods and people carrier all these while anyway as she has a big butt boot.

Mr Kimi is having a make over as we speak. Dad says he needs a new paint job and touch up. Whatever that means. As for his new identity, we'll only get it next week or so. No, he's not under any witness protection programme. He's been a good citizen of Australia and hopefully a better Malaysian. purrr....meow!
