A visit to Sim Lim was made, a card reader was purchased.
Leo asleep. All the cats have their own, er, paw placement. Leo is displaying how he can stretch out as much as he likes and no other cat will dare to make him shove over.
You’d think they’d just use the Obamicon maker, but no, they’ve also ripped off the Obama for America logo. Classy. God Forbid any of us should try and effect positive change in our lives for our own sake.
Our holiday has indeed been this exciting. Not counting the driving round and round for miles in circles in Malacca. That was heart-stoppingly thrilling.
Here’s something for discussion. Say there is a hungry cat and a hungry penguin, and they both spot some fish lying on the street (let’s pretend it’s normal for penguins and cats to live in the same area). But there is a fast-approaching thunderstorm, and while the cat’s claws are likely to make mincemeat of the penguin, it really, really hates water. So who ends up with the fish?
I didn’t make this thought experiment generator, I just came up with the idea for it. But I’m dead pleased with how it’s turned out. I did not specify that cats and penguins had to be in it, this is what we call a happy coincidence.
A special ‘squee’ reserved for cute animals. This is a different squee compared to the one I use on Gary Barlow. Gary Barlow’s squee has hormones in it. Just so you know.

This is not a resolutions list. I repeat, this is not a resolutions list. If it was, I would be a very, very sad person with no ambition.
- Start making rubber stamps
I’m far too cheapskate to buy those overpriced stamps at paper craft shops and the Hobbycraft show, and I have fond memories of making stamps out of rubber erasers. There are pound shops here that sell loads of erasers. The one thing I will spend on is good quality stamp pads and a sharp knife. The goal? Creating my own postcards (as distinct from Artist Trading Cards, I’m not an artist) and notecards. Adding more oomph to the greeting cards I’ve started making.
- Get a routine
Neil and I have yet to settle into a daily routine here, and I want to finally join the Scottish SPCA and do some weekend volunteering. Also, while it’s cold, to join the gym and go after dinner during the week.
- Exercise my tourist rights
I’m going to explore the Real Mary King’s Close. I will see what’s left of Glasgow’s medieval past. I will go on more walks to see the country.
- Visit more cemeteries
Don’t ask me why; I think it has something to do with Singapore’s relentless march of progress, with new condos and hospitals built on freshy exhumed ground. I loved the Necropolis when I visited in 2003, and I’ve been to two cemeteries since I got to Scotland this year. I would really like to visit Craigton and Kirk ‘o’ Shotts.
What are your non-resolutions?
Somewhere in Glasgow, a building has a little guard:
