Hot Hot Hot 2025

4 Jun 2025 – Neckfans + Other Cooling Elements

Sun: SIN tops the 2025 HenleyPassportIndex, granting its citizens visa-free or visa-on-arrival access to 195 destinations worldwide. This reflects SINs strong diplomatic relations and global connectivity. Followed by Japan and S-Korea – no plans going anywhere yet despite holding a SIN-passport! Maybe in Nov for a trip to the LAM-Ancestral-Village/China – will cross that bridge when I get there, now to build up some immunity. Pix downloaded.

Appreciations with thanks for scrumptious dinner@Rochalie – welcome Darryl back for the holidays from Sydney/Australia.

Mon: the innocence from these idyllic pix from 12yrs ago to cheer me on for speedy recovery. At some point in our lives, we will experience a loss of innocence. Whether that disillusionment is with ourselves, our family, or with life itself, there is a choice that arises in the midst of loss. Will we fall into cynicism and self-betrayal? Or will we meet the pain of that loss directly and in that, discover the innocence that was never lost.

Tue: pix from 10yrs ago in the US where it took about 4 weeks for this dandelion field to change from yellow to white! Usually in the US this time of the year but reviewing back from memories 10yrs ago, just as well not there especially after this recent asthma attack here! Beautiful as it is, the pollen will probably suffocate me but blessed to have memories…

Aug2021: IUIGA/Neckfan S$50 – tested it out with a fully charged battery running on medium speed (3speeds) and it lasted for 7hrs.
Amazing that it has lasted me nearly 4yrs and still working despite being taped! Tkx to Clement who is too embarrassed to be seen with me using the taped one got me a new JisuLife(5speeds) and appreciations to May for the Nebulizer. Can’t help just being nuts with the younger generation who are so caring,concerning,considerate – feeling so totally blessed. Not ready to say goodbye to IUIGA, how fortunate now to have one to use within the 4-walls and the other one when out with Clement – hahaha.

Wed: despite the red-tailed-pipe snake/Cylindrophis ruffus is a non-venomous species supposedly the most beautiful snake in the world and very rare, once-in-a lifetime encounter, critically endangered snake, am glad that it was not in my path or anyone who is ophidiophobia – pix definitely downloaded! When the snake decided to go straight, it didn’t get anyway – hahaha

Instead of expending time to train yourself not to be afraid of snakes, avoid them altogether – Richard Koch
