Sailor's Snug Harbor

A learner yesterday , and a teacher today . Well , we're forever learning and teaching .

Jeremy is consulting me now about some education dilemma . He is currently experiencing this impasse about his music career . Well , his teacher told him to go study overseas . Honestly , i think maybe its quite a waste of time in NAFA ... ? Im not very sure ... but im quite enjoying my time here . Mike , my conductor , once told me that i should just go to China and not waste time in Singapore . Its true ... but its the insecure feeling that keeps us back here in Singapore . Get the foundation right , and get the basics then settle army ... Age , is a crucial thing in music , and its the only way to get ahead of the peeps ... I think thats so true , but to think of it , we've to thank our country , dear Singapore , for the all-rounded education and the national service system . Thus , we are lagging so far off those foreign talents . Well , i think that Singapore is importing too much of these talents , who comes and replace our own talent's rice bowls . So whats the deal ? Is Singapore trying to make her own people suffer ? Or isit that ... Singapore is trying to chase away Singaporeans to brand themselves as foreign talents to other countries ... ? Im not sure , but i think the government has to think about this point . What say u , my friends ?

Im home , all day . Woke up kinda early and felt kinda cold ... so i switched off the air-con . Went to eat with uncle and Mom ... at this same place , the ShangHai restaurant , but who knows ... its closed . So , we ate at Eva's , its this another Peranakan restaurant , like Baba's . We expected it to be quite below the standard of Baba's , and it appeared so ... but honestly , some dishes were better , but the rest , far off the standards of Baba's . And guess what ? Its also far off more expensive ! We ate around $25 worth of food at Baba's which was $41 at Eva's . So ... i would rather prefer Baba's . But , there was air-con in Eva's . After weighing the different factors ... i would still say that , Baba's is a better choice .

Mom drove the car , and she brought me to the hospice .

Dad was feeling kinda better , i think . Jane went out to attend some administrative matters , while i accompanied Dad . He was sleeping ... and he obviously was tired , so i didnt disturb him . When Jane came back , she disturbed him by rubbing oil on his skin ... Well , its for his dry skin ... but she should do it when Dad wakes up . So again , ive no say ... i dun want to have an open conflict . So , then she held Dad up to the toilet , he needed to shit . Who knows , he was so weak , he couldnt control himself , and he peed on the floor , and he even shat on the floor . Its not really funny , kinda sad . Jane carried him to the toilet , while i called for the cleaner .

The room was smelly for a moment , and i left the room , so that Jane can help Dad with his clothings and stuff . I was there too , and Dad must have felt embarrassed , but no , im ur son , its totally fine . He wanted to sleep , and Jane didnt allow him to ! What the fuck ? She said ... if Dad sleeps now , which was then in the afternoon , he wouldnt sleep at night . So she said , if he doesnt sleep at night , she cannot sleep too . What the fuck ? He needs to sleep ! He needs rest ! He needs privacy from u , u fucking whore ! Slut , get lost and give Dad a break . Like what Mom said ... she really wants Dad's life ! She is the blood and money sucking vampire !

SiHan , ur wrong , she is definitely not a hardcore Christian . Honestly , she is not ! I can tell ! Though im not one , but really ... i know her well enough . She is doing all this to hide herself , because people will not doubt a Christian's faith , and so ... all she has done has many holy excuses . U get my idea ?

Anyway , i came home after that ... and took a cab . This horrible driver , obviously wanted my money , and he kept giving excuses to make circles . What the fuck ? Cant people do honest business ? Well , Mom told me once , honest business men dun survive well . Only the evil people reign superior . In realistic context , its very true . But im sure , they'll get their retribution one day .

So , played games ... and did nothing else . What a day ?

For ur information , i picked traditional Chinese music and ethnomusicology for my top elective choices .

Even with Jane around , the sailor's snug habor will never be the best place to rest .
