Back in school
For the past two weeks I have been attending a course held near my ex sec school.
Having coffee here brings a flood of memories. Of days so innocent. I remember some of the issues, what seemed so challenging or stressful has been dulled by time. It gives hope and renew my understanding that current issues will be similarly treated, in time.

Bangkok
My ex was frigid. Or maybe it was my fault (NOT) Would it be better if I just had my way with her when I needed her? I didn't, I couldn't, and now we are apart. Is this better for us? For her?
16 years of a no sex marriage and hardly any before. Lots of guilt when I did the deed with others. Why??? A catholic upbringing? Incompatiblilty?
Life sucks and that started me on the road to why I don't believe in Jesus Christ now. Just as well, because I have found the truth.
Note to Pope; the church screwed up BIG TIME. Falling catholic birth rates, increasing divorce rates amongst catholics ... Just as well. Religion is a dinosaur.
Everytime I read about the priests caught fucking girls, women, boys and men, I remember the thousands more dedicated true believers doing good work. Doing the hard slogging while you wear red Prada shoes. Blind faith is really blind. Smoke and mirrors! FUCK YOU and all that you stand for. Power and Money.

Goodbye Francis...
It has had been a long while since we met. I have been away constantly. Using that excuse I had avoided getting together with our group of friends and with you.
For me, you were one of the least expected amongst us to go so early. Many of us are older, much older, more frail. I am shocked, now sadden by the realization that we will not meet again, till my time comes.
Francis, goodbye. I will cherish whatever time I have left and live on and live well, in part for your memory. Goodbye and thank you for your friendship.

Singapore
It was a rainy day yesterday when I got a call from my son's school. He was having a bad cough and the school said he had difficulty breathing.
I told them to send him to the hospital immediately. Luckily it turned out to be just a bad cough. The school just wanted him sent home due to the policies in place for H1N1.
Phew...

From behind the Great Firewall of China
Just upgraded my iPhone to OS 3.0. Setup VPN access and posting to Blogger. No big deal. Wonder why the Chinese government even bothers. Everyone I know can and do circumvent the controls.

Stories from the quake zone
from TV reports;
1. a teenage boy was pulled out of a collapsed school after being trapped for over 2 days. as he was carried away on a stretcher he asked one of the rescuers, "uncle i would like to have a coke!"
2. towns and villages were all isolated by landslides. during the quake and continuing aftershocks, boulders as big as cars rolled down the mountains destroying roads. cellphone stations and landlines were all wiped out and no one knew the situation at these places. paratroopers were sent and they parachuted above rain clouds into the devastation. the captain hollered "the time has come, the party and people has given us this mission. for the country and for our people let's successfully complete our mission." for many survivors, the appearance of these paratroopers gave them hope and notice that rescue was on the way.
3. a policewoman breastfeed eight babies, many of whom who were left motherless.
4. a group of about ten children ages 5-12 have been standing by the side of the road for the past few days. they hold simple placards expressing thanks. when asked, a girl said that they were moved by the efforts of the people who helped them. from the report, it was the rescuers who were touched by the strength of these children.

Pollution threatens national liquor
BEIJING (Reuters) - The water purity of a river tapped to make China's national liquor is being threatened by uncontrolled building of other drinks factories along its banks, the official Xinhua news agency reported Monday.
Kweichow Moutai, maker of the fiery Maotai drink served at Chinese state banquets and used to toast guests ranging from Margaret Thatcher to Kim Il-sung, draws water for the brew from the Chishui River in remote southwest Guizhou province.
But authorities are investigating how 39 illegal alcoholic drinks plants have sprung up by the river, polluting both the air and water, Xinhua said.
"It seriously threatens the environmental security of the Chishui River and the production base of Maotai," it added.
The illegal factories have been fined and ordered to close, the report said.
The drink -- a 53 percent proof tipple made of mountain water, sorghum and grain -- is steeped in Communist lore. Though it traces its origins back two millennia, Maotai has been the drink of choice for generations of Communist Chinese leaders.
It was used to toast the founding of the People's Republic on October 1, 1949. Premier Zhou Enlai welcomed U.S. President Nixon with Maotai during his groundbreaking trip to China in 1972.
It was on Zhou's instructions that all industry was banned from 100 km (60 miles) upstream of the Chishui River site used to make Maotai in order to preserve its purity.
"But following the daily rise in frequency of human activity, the ecological problems of the special ecosystem of the Chishui River have become more and more pronounced," Xinhua said.

Anticipation
Maotai is back in Singapore pumped full of Macallen. He has to eat some porridge then off he goes to worship at the feet of HER. The ONE who brought Maotai into blogging (though he is rather hopeless at it).

Magical Maotai?
You are The Magician
Skill, wisdom, adaptation. Craft, cunning, depending on dignity.
Eleoquent and charismatic both verbally and in writing,
you are clever, witty, inventive and persuasive.
The Magician is the male power of creation, creation by willpower and desire. In that ancient sense, it is the ability to make things so just by speaking them aloud. Reflecting this is the fact that the Magician is represented by Mercury. He represents the gift of tongues, a smooth talker, a salesman. Also clever with the slight of hand and a medicine man - either a real doctor or someone trying to sell you snake oil.
What Tarot Card are You?
