#154.21 - June

-
Here we are in June. Unbelieveable. It doesn't feel like June simply because when we start singing June lovely June, it hails it end of the year. Furthermore when June arrives it means that we now get ready to leave for Singapore. Singapore... it seems like some kind of a dream away. And all of the plans we used to make - they are all now gone. Who knows what the world will be like in a year's time? The mainstream media have insisted they are right. They now lay on the propaganda thick.They are completely irrational now in their insistence of the entire debacle even though it is pretty clear that the jury is out on so many counts. I'm bored now and no longer care to comment on the issue. After all this has passed the irrational screaming and yelling will die down and something else will take its place.

God this whole thing took such a long time to boot up that I'm properly sleepy now. 

I have to say I don't feel great. Possibly because I stopped taking the supplements over the past week. I need to start taking them again. Today I spent cleaning the classroom and getting ready for school. I will get up, go for a short run and then lay out the class plans for today. It is fairly straight forward. It is Wednesday so there is maybe some cooking... I don't know. IS there cooking? I think there should be maths. We should do averages. We could do height and other kinds of averages... yeah we do averages and back to akgebra tomorrow.

OK, I was hoping this entry would be longer but it won't be. i'm going to sleep now.

Geylang sepaku Geylang

Geylang Serai is the place i feel most at home in Singapore. Possibly because a vast majority of the population are still Singaporean and i speak the language they speak there - Malay. Also, it hasn't changed that much. OK, it has, but i'd like to think it hasn't. We ate at the new market there which used to be a little better than an open sewer. But it was our open sewer and we loved it. Geylang was heaving with people getting ready for Ramadan. On the table we have sup kambing, otak-otak, nasi padang and rojak. Drinkswise we have lime juice, Kickapoo and teh. It is hot - really hot. We are all pespiring and we can feel our clothes stick to our skin and bellies and thighs. Our hair is continuously in our faces, dripping and sticking too. The only thing that brings relief is a soak in the pool or a shower and an airconditioned room. No wonder when the boys came back, the first thing they said was, ah, it's great to be back in th cool weather again!. Singaporeans love th...

The Central Business District

The Thinker in the OUE building Yesterday i attended a talk which was organised by some environmentalists here. It was held in the NTUC building which was in the middle of the business district. It has been years since i have been here, so i set out early to walk about the place. Everything is very very large  I arrived during rush hour and people were simply pouring out of the MRT. The crowds were swarming down escalators and out of offices - but they were not overground. No, they were underground, at the MRT. In fact thee was no one above ground. For the business district at rush hour, above ground was eerily quiet! There must be dozen of buildings which look like these To think that hundreds of thousands of people work in places like this. I used to work in a place like this. Admittedly these buildings are far more swishy and very sleek. It was like being in some espionage film set in the future. There were rehearsals for the National Day Parade and Sarah...

19.3.26 - 74 - Eulogy: What will survive of us is love

I wrote and read this for Pa at the service. It was in long hand, but I have it here typed out now. It is peppered with verses from the New Testament, because I was asked by the priest to refer to Jesus occasionally, so I made that concession. Big shout out to Ben and the Christian Community whom I spent many a delighted evening reading and discussing the Bible during Bible study class. =========================== Thank you everybody for coming here to honour the life of husband, father and legend which is Eric Sim Chin Seng. Pa crossed over on the 16th of March at 7.30 am. He went peacefully and gently. He breathed his way slowly past this life and on to the new one, leaving his bark, his body, which carried him and his indomitable spirit and endless capacity to love, for 81 years, to say farewell to one last time. This tribute is to you, for you, Pa, who always walked in the sacred steps of Jesus Christ and lived the best life which could be lived. Part I: John 1:14 "The word be...
