19.3.24 - The quiet days

Yesterday's selfie

The no drinking and exercise continues apace. I have also stopped taking the phone to bed and that is the last piece in the jigsaw, I actually started the mending and all of the admin. I did most of the elements admin - for the goddess admin - that's the only thing left and i'll do that today along with the website.

It has been so so so good to get things back on track once again. I've relooked at the divorce day and that's the 19th of April. I need to get that day off. And finally, I need to write in other important dates. We have a great community of women who are working with the land spiritually. Reconnecting. It has been a long hard road to travel. BUT we are finally here.

So I celebrate every day - I celebrate myself by taking selfies. Because there is so much to celebrate. For the past few years I just got so beaten down. I am beaten down no more. I am whole once again. I did my finances too yesterday and the good news is that I am also doing alright for money. I'm solid where that's concerned.


Ghin's art


My darling Ghin

Ghin is now working very hard to get his portfolio ready. He is such a good illustrator and he will continue doing so at A levels. I am so proud of him. 

Furry baby

What is left to be said? Not a lot really. I'm so full of hope personally. for Gaza, I am left in sorrow. I know I am going to start writing again soon. Oh yes, I've started reading again as well. I think i'll do three writings - Atlantis, of course. A children's book about the elementals. And a book about the goddess and the land. Fuck if a man is going to do that. It's so infuriating. There is Kate who has been writing for years and then this man comes along and is in the Festival of Ideas. Fuck that.

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...
