1.4.24 - Ever an optimist

-

It is hard to stay focused when Gaza still takes place. Even now I am in tears as I write. Almost 45,000 people are dead with nearly a third of that children. The Western media is despicable and quite quite stupid. Like actually stupid OR very evil. I think possibly both. Quite often people who appear evil are just stupid because they cannot string two bits of information available and look to figures of authority to tell them what's correct. It is a kind of very poor glamour which these assholes use. And these people aren't intelligent either. What they are is greedy and bloodthirsty. The entire war in Gaza is being driven by people who want to make money and people who get a kick out of killing and torturing people. I have come to the conclusion that there are people who actually do that naturally. Laws were made for these people because they just have this thing inside them. You can't really educate it out of them. So you have to create laws.

Still though I am working with Siuban to try and bring the final part of Forest School to fruition. After a lifetime of doing forest school, can it still be interesting for children - what is their final journey, their final farewell? I think this is it.

This is the final piece. This is something I have always been interested in - and it would be great if we could do one for girls and one for boys. The Rite of Passage. 

Where does the human spirit lie? It lies in our consciousness connection with the world we know exists and yet are constantly being told is not there... it is so infuriating. So people fill up on trash. Perverted version of the supernatural. It's so annoying.

I have come to the conclusion that there is no saving the establishment. They are so far up their own asses they have no idea what's going on and the stories they tell themselves are denialism at its finest. Anyway... 

I know what i'm going to do now... now I am going to do my Hanon studies and then I'm clearing up the table backroom - that's where I do all my creative work from now on, and then I'm going to clear up the table in the dining room. Then I'm going to the club and when I get back i'm going to tidy up the garage. It's raining so that sucks, but it has to be done. I need to take inventory of everything. After that... it will be time to have a nap and then I will need to design the next three days... at some point in the next week I will have to decorate the branch in school. With the eggs I have.

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...
