11.11.25 - 318 - Palestine 36

Truly amazing film. The Brits are fucks

You could have been watching The Wind That Shakes the Barley. They are twins. It was so poignant watching it in Belfast, a place which has been crucified by the fucking Brits, but not as much as Palestine - simply because the EU did step in and the Free State also part of the EU said, that's enough now. Enough of this shit.

The terrorism, the corruption... even hinting at child abuse... the girl who was let go was probably raped, the boy would have been sexually abused by that captain. The implication all loaded, all there. And a million times, British writers, European writers, have spoken about their love for CHILDREN.

It honestly doesn't bear thinking about - but this idea that transgression is a thing which very rich and powerful people do as a kind of initiation to bring about some kind of collective shared filthy secret... that is the point of secret societies. It doesn't matter that they don't call them that - but the collateral is the same. And it does not matter which part of society you belong to - the transgressions will always bind and traumatise you. To the point where you have hollowed out your humanity and it is replaced with monstrosity. Victor, you are the monster.
My board... soon to be gone

Yesterday was totally hectic. It was mental. I started at 6.30 am in school and ended at 5.30 pm... yes, that's right, 12 hours. Mental I tell you.

During that time I:-

1. Printed out the lesson plan and all the worksheets
2. Did Pastoral Care
3. Cleaned the classroom and marked all the work
4. Taught
5. Attended LS meeting
6. Did Forest School

Then I went to see Palestine 36. It was a push, but I did it. Then I came home and I couldn't sleep. So I watched an episode of ALL HER FAULT, which contained some great speeches from women about dysfunctional men. There are no good people really. No wonder we feel so shite about everything. Even the TV series are trolling us.

Everything is rage bait these days. No one can live a placid life.

Good lord, is 6.45 already. I'm hoping to be in school at 7.30. It's gonna be another long one.

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...
