Got slammed by newborns shepherded by the Liew witches onto Christians hanging around me. We fought back, growing the miscreants’ nose hair wild and wiry. It’s quite harmless but annoying. Hope the pain-giving stops.
Having bakkuteh tonight, made by Sis. Mom is wasting away from an unknown disease. Dad blaming others for his sins. Anyhow, here is July 2024’s ABY reading:
“Peace. The small is gone. The great approaches. Progress. Success. Good fortune” —Dr WK Chu
“You seem to be good with words, Brother Yeap,” said the admirer, “were you always an English speaker?” “Yes, I was born in Australia where language is frank, simple and intelligent, to a Chinese Father and Mother who spoke little good English” “You don’t sound Australian,” she said with disdain. “I lost it by being around the people of these parts. I discarded much of the Englishness of English, if you will” “I see you have Kerouac[24] and Ballard on your shelf. Do you read Hemingway, Tolstoy etc?” “I read mostly for effect (atmosphere) and ideas for effect (explanations for atmosphere). Thus Kerouac and Ballard and other surrealist imaginateurs. That way, I might write better than Hemingway or Salinger. Listen to this one line story: Toy left on the wrong shelf. I beat Ernest… by a punctuation mark” The literary schizophrenic bowed to Brother Yeap’s kungfu and smiled.
* * * [24] Jack Kerouac’s defining work is “On The Road
As SHEEP-snake dominates, there is little synergy between the brash and the subtle.
There will most certainly be conflicts in July. But the sutra is very cryptic. There is a French word -Paris Olympics, I have started practicing Taichi -true, I’m writing short stories and getting noticed -yup, ‘On the Road’ -economic depression? More later…
The rules to Sett2 are a simplified version of Sett. Two or more adjacent same color marks may impinge another’s mark. If it is 2:1, score 1, 3:1, score 2. (2:2 scores 1/2 while 1:3 obviously cannot score, scoring is considered one move, not automatic) There are infinite pieces (chalk markings) but the game will end if any one color makes 5-in-a-row. White marks are blockers. And… that is all! Found out that an old tissue paper box’s inside makes a good Sett2 board. You need a duster of some sort to clear the chalk and a pen and ruler to draw grid lines. Chalk in 7 colors can be ordered from IKEA for 9RM, here in Malaysia. [Shopee chalk is even cheaper, 2.50RM per box]
I have also taken up Tai Chi and am practicing most mornings. Run before dawn alternate days and diet more religiously. Work out in the evenings. Saved on martial arts shoes and pants but I bought a good quality Quiksilver tee 60% off @Shopee to wear while practicing. Hope it fits well, COD as usual.
