6 Nov 2025 – Daylight Saving Time

Sat: good interesting and thought provoking movie TheDinner/2017 shows just how far we are willing to go to protect those we love? If conscience is what holds civlization together then maternal love might not see eye to eye with that! And the conclusion is on your own moral perspective. Those who enjoy SuperHero or Action or Horror movies will probably not like this – for me it was well worth watching with excellent performances by all.

Tara is an old soul. She cares so much about animals and nature. The earth needs old souls because, you know, it is very sick. And the old souls must help us find a way to heal the Earth – Beatriz from the movie TheDinner.

Sun: those participating in daylight saving time/DST remember to turn your clocks back when it officially ends on the first Sunday of Nov every year thus gaining an hour of sleep. Memories from the late 1980s of one of those daylight saving times when it slipped the mind and was into my job with ComAir@MCO-airport wondering why there was nobody on the first shift then – hahaha!

We could have saved the earth if we’d all just stayed in bed – G.Eliot

As of 2023 ~34% of the world’s countries use DST, primarily in Europe&N-America. Some countries observe it only in some regions. In Canada, all of Yukon, most of Saskatchewan and parts of Nunavut,Ontario,British Columbia&Quebec do not change clocks. It is observed by 4Australian states&one territory. In USA, it is observed by all states except AZ&HI. Such complications – life would be easier without adding more issues…

Appreciations with tkx for yummy Sunday family dinner@Rochalie with an interesting wine from the Himalayas.

Mon: hair-cut, running errands,FarrerPk to collect meds, tkx to a dearest bro.

Tue: tkx to nephewClement for helping with translations,online set-ups, etc for the China-trip.

Wed&Thu: syncing myself physcially&mentally to prepare for whatever inconveniences without really understanding the language or the ppl, and without a laptop ie will not be online until back in SIN next week. Visited 江門Jiangmen/China in 2009&2011 where the LAM-Ancestral-Hall,2TwinMansions,WaterPavilion are located. and was in awe to discover&learn about my heritage. These buildings were in ruins and these pieces were picked from the ground for a momento&reminder in the event if they will be demolished – now returning them for a future museum, hopefully!

The Ancestral-Hall was successfully restored in 2023 while the other buildings are slated for restoration. Have been told to expect much changes – usually best not to have any expectations as peace begins where expections end!
