./ about the name

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

‘neo’ is a typically chinese name found in any part of the chinese community in the world. My name has nothing to do with the movie called “The Matrix” or any of its subsequent movies that featured Keanu Reeves, Lawerence Fishburne, Mary Alice, Daniel Bernhardt, Hugo Weaving, Monica Bellucci, Nona Gaye & Carrie-Anne Moss.

The character Neo lives in the world of the Matrix, an illusory construct in which humans are neurally connected to a gigantic computer system which simulates the world of the late 20th century. This system has been developed by intelligent machines to keep the human population as tools for the machines survival – the machines use human energy as their energy source, their previous solar energy source having been cut off by humans during the war.

There is a legend or prophecy amongst free humans (which some believe and others scorn) that there is a human who, when connected to the Matrix, can override its computer-created simulated rules, and perceive and manipulate its code directly, and thus seemingly, within the simulated reality of the Matrix, they would appear to be able to perform miracles.

This person is called in myth, “The One.” His (or her) finding is the subject of a lifelong quest by Morpheus, an admired ship’s captain of the Zion fleet, assisted by Trinity and the rest of his crew. It is said in legend that The One will bring the perpetual war between Man and Machine to an end.

The word ‘Neo’ is an anagram of the word ‘One’.

Whereas the blogger, neo, HAS nothing to the with the Neo featured in The Matrix. There would be occasion that people would asking him is he the ONE. The Neo in the Matrix is an “ang -moh” and this neo is a typical chinese male living in the small island of Singapore.
