#158.21 - June!!!!

 As I get older things get fuzzier. The past week has been one long fuzz. There is so much to be done and I am constantly having to deal with everything. Just everything.


So I procrastinate - by doing Irish. My spelling has gone to hell. My typing has gone to hell. My grammar has gone to hell. Apparently I have forgotten how to write. This may not be a big deal for most people but that is kinda all I have - my writing. 

Big sigh out now...

So what has taken place over the last three weeks...

Here's the deal so far.

Here it is.

Exercise wise it has not been good. Organisation wise it has also not been good. Work wise it has been mental. Everything else is a total mess.

The house needs hoovering - I haven't done that for two weeks, and the fridge needs cleaning out. It has never been so messy. Honestly I don't know when this began this descent. I am not pleased about it at all. God knows I have tried hanging on, I've tried making this make sense, but nothing makes sense. Everything is upside down.

I don't know if the people in charge know anything at all. I really think they cannot. They can't possibly.

What a total mess.

I am going to go for a shower now and then when I get back... I will clean out the car and then get a couple of hours sleep before starting with the report writing.

I have never struggled so hard with report writing I have to tell you.

I have to say I am also a lot less stressed with my new class. It doesn't feel so frightening anymore. I've done this. I'm good. I'm sorted.

The garden is looking amazing. I have wildflowers growing all over the place. Everything is just golden and green and white. No wonder the Irish flag has those colours. I have decided I am going to sleep now and then get up at 3 to start writing.

I cleaned out the car, tidied the house, did the laundry, sorted the fridge and did a general tidy. The house feels far more settled now. Can't quite believe the stupid who decided to go to Portugal. There must be a correlation between idiots and the Iberian Peninsula. What is the attraction? I mean Spain was OK - it is not my favourite country in the world. I much prefer Italy. Italy for the food and the culture and the art. Spain for the what exactly? The weather in Italy is better - Spain is far too hot. I have never been to Portugal but you know what... I'm good. I don't need to go.

OK one last thing before I hang up my shoes for the night - I'm going to sort my files...

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...
