Last blog post from Singapore, I think

I should start packing shortly for the trip back to London. Every time I am about to leave Singapore, I always feel very sad. I do not feel sad when leaving Marblehead, for some reason or other. But I really like Singapore, and I treasure all my friends here. The thought that I’ll be 8 time zones away from them for another year or so (unless some visit London, which of course would fill me with joy) makes me very sad indeed.

I hope that all my Singaporean live journal friends do well in the coming year, and I hope that I can visit again next year and stay a while.

I will blog about the last day in Cambodia and the last full day in Singapore when I get back to London, I think. I’m really tired now and don’t have the energy so to do. I will say that I enjoyed coffee with before he went off to Johor Bahru, lunch with HWMBO and Choo Beng, then coffee with them and Petrus, my brother-in-law. Dinner was a spicy Mos cheeseburger with fries and a large Diet Coke. I then walked around Junction 8 for the last time this trip and bought a cheesy bank in the shape of a yellow transparent bear. Why did I buy it? I don’t know. A hazelnut coffee later, I was back on the bus. We passed a bad accident just before I alighted here–a bus going towards Junction 8 was rear-ended by a car. There was at least one injury as someone was being ladled into an ambulance as we passed. I hope they’ll be OK.

I will be incognito starting late tomorrow morning (Monday). Tuesday I’ll be at a diocesan meeting at noon and them napping so that I can stay up and watch the US presidential election results. Hopefully my man Obama will make history on Tuesday.

Be good while I’m away. Farewell, Singapore and all my Live Journal friends here. Oh, and –have fun next Saturday at the BBQ. I wish I could be here to attend and enjoy, especially since November 8 is my birthday. Raise a glass of something to me that day in the hope that I’ll be able to return next year.

    Unfortunately not, I fear. I would make it here, but I value what’s left of my glucose tolerance.

    You don’t need anything (except your good self, I suppose) to lure me back to Asia. What I need is some solution to the problem of getting foot infections when I go to Asia. No one here in the UK knows how to prevent it.

    I am a diabetic, and have lost feeling in my feet. Thus, I have to be very careful in that I get foot infections easily. I believe that my feet swell in the hot weather and previously comfortable shoes become tight and cause blisters, which can get infected. I need to talk to doctors who know about diabetic feet in tropical climates and how to prevent this happening.

    you probably shouldn’t be wearing closed shoes. if you’ve to wear them, you might want to make sure they’re well-ventilated and avoid plastic-lined shoes.
    think it’s best you seek medical attention asap, diabetic foot infection is no joke, my uncle lost one of his legs to those nasty bugs. please take care 🙂
