I am tired and done. It will be a short entry today because I have to get going with lesson planning. I just feel so low and miserable for now. I think I need to go for a run. It is probably the only thing that is going to help now. 

It has been a mad time really. Now we have doctors coming out saying they won't get the vaccine because of the side effects. In an interview on Unherd the doctor who challenged Sajid Javid has the EXACT SAME concerns which I had. Namely the time - he said Hep B jabs have 20 years of data behind them. This one has nothing. And he also said that there were people coming in or who had died because of the vaccination. The vaccines are Russian roulette. They have always been. It is best they just admit that and say, well, it is like you are playing Russian roulette with a 4,000 bullet chamber. One of it is loaded but you don't know which one. Everytime you pick up that gun you take a risk. But hey life is about risk and you can choose which risk you want to take. And for some people that risk differs. But no - it is take this or we will exclude you from society. For a virus that does what? It is the virus does what that pisses me off big time. Honestly I cannot understand the media and the shit they get up to. In America it was to beat Trump that why they kept going on about the science.

The West is a one trick pony - it is about the illusion of progress, linearity and science. It is through science that they claimed that they ruled the world - they were the enlightened. It was through religion that they achieved moral superiority. I am old enough to remember when speaking English was seen as being more educated. It is still the case in Ma's generation. Ma is probably the last generation of the colonised. Already when I was born we were post colonial. 

Science is not religion. The Aristotelean method is the one which was rolled out in institutions of learning... I have to go now. But you see this, this will not hold. This is now breaking apart and as it does not the rest of consciousness and unconsciousness will come in and flood the remains with insight, breathing out and freedom.

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...

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...

I should try and love Singapore. And I have really tried to love it. Really. But life in Singapore is not real life. Sadly. The only thing which is real about it is my relationships with my family. I understand we lead very privileged lives. We live in a beautiful house and we live in Serangoon Gardens. I get to swim everyday. We never worry about where the next meal's coming from. Very importantly, we have our health and we have each other. These are all very good things, nothing to be sneezed at. But Singapore itself ... that's a different story. Where to begin? I cannot complain because we actually live in a very nice part of Singapore. It's it unique in all of Singapore. There is no other place like it. In fact the government should slap a preservation order on the place. It is an actual village. Ring fenced by the houses and the roads, it was possibly designed by the British Army as a defensible position. Maybe they didn't mean to do it, but it is that way neverthe...
