First Four Weeks of Holidays

2006-09-03T01:04:00.000+08:00

At last!!! Holidays!!! My last day of Industrial Attachment was on 25 August. There was so much last minute work to be done; I left the office rather late. I headed down to the Seminary for the vocation discernment recollection. I was very surprised to see some friends there, as well as some old faces. The turnout was quite good; about twenty something odd guys. I managed to learn some new

The Best Cigarette, by Billy Collins

The Best cigarette, by Billy Collins There are many that I miss having sent my last one out a car window sparking along the road one night, years ago. The heralded one, of course: after sex, the two glowing tips now the lights of a single ship; at the end of a long dinner with more wine to come and a smoke ring coasting into the chandelier; or on a white beach, holding one with fingers still

Yeah. Last, Saturday I woke up early to finish my praesidium's annual report, then went down to Maris Stella for meeting. The new aspirant Christian was very kind.. he bought flowers for the altar even though he couldn't make it for meeting. There were a bunch of yellow chrysanthemum flowers wrapped in the typical market paper stuck at the door. Very promising fellow. I had lunch with Nicholas

1)Minesweeper is the best game in the world. 2)You resign to the fact that the bus doesn't stop when you flag it, while the driver looks at you in the eye; and you don't swear, but sigh softly. 3)Walking around town or in unknown housing estates aimlessly doesn't bother you; in fact you enjoy it. 4)Your younger brother has more piercings, smoked more cigarettes than you. And probably got laid

2006-08-08T22:54:00.000+08:00

In latest events, Women’s ‘ordinations’ in Pittsburgh invalid, lead to excommunication What a scandal! Many people wonder, “What’s the big deal with ordaining women to Holy Orders?” But the Church recognises it as an issue to be taken seriously.I've decided to write this, because I am sick and tired of hearing girls tell me that it is sexist what not... Yeah, they are Catholic. They probably

6 May - 7 May

2006-05-07T23:45:00.000+08:00

This weekend was quite all right.. I decided to visit the CL people on Friday. They said the rosary, since it was the month of May. Unfortunately, nobody knew the mysteries. How deplorable! Do you see how this is related to the current state of catechesis? /shakes head sadly Well, I had dinner with Alvin Mok and my brother at Jalan Kayu. We wanted to eat Teochew porridge but it was so bloody

woah! I had this super action dream yesterday!! I dreamt that I was inside some evil corporation headquarters and they were making some biological weapons there. So I infiltrated the company with a friend. Some guy, I can't remember who. So we were led down the elevator to this basement, and suddenly they pushed us out of the lift and closed the doors. We opened the doors in that level but

Second Week of Easter

2006-04-30T21:43:00.000+08:00

It was really a long week.. especially in school… All my fricking cells died, because of some stupid yeast contamination! The other group in my lab (Siti and Fana – Don’t say I never mention you gals ah…..), also had yeast contamination. The funny thing was, we were infected by different kinds of yeast! Hohoho! Ms Adeline remarked that my yeast looked rather pretty. That sarcastic lady…

First Week of Easter

2006-04-19T00:22:00.000+08:00

Monday, 17 April Woke up late and started panicking. Then I remembered I had an excuse letter. So I went in late. Shakeila and I did some work. I left at 12 pm to deal with Geo Council. We set up the booth, did up the banners. We were done at around 5 pm. I had rehearsal for the Percussion Ensemble afterwards. It was kind of tiring, especially since I kept making mistakes. It’s kind of

Easter Triduum

2006-04-19T00:10:00.000+08:00

Maundy Thursday, 13 April I went for the Chrism Mass at Christ the King at 1030. Wow, there were so many priests there. The procession in and out of the church took really long. They had the blessing of the holy oils, used for: baptism, confirmation, anointing and holy orders. It was a grand affair. There were 3 deacons, ten plus altar servers and hundreds of priests. It was so crowded that I

Music and the Christian

2006-03-28T23:42:00.000+08:00

28 March 2006 Today I was walking home from band with a band mate. I'm not particularly close to him, but we talk once in a while. He suddenly asked me, "Are you Christian?". I was like, "Why?". He said I seemed to have some 'Christian aura', but he guessed that I wasn't. He said I lacked 'responsibility in my music'. I was wondering what the hell he meant. Predictably, he was referring to my

Novena Dilemma

3 March 2006 If you go to Novena on Saturdays, you will find that on your way from the MRT to the church, there are many hawkers along the way. And when I say 'hawkers', I do not mean the ones who sell food. Instead, they sell other items. You must be thinking, 'What hawkers? I thought there were only beggars?' But you see, these people are not begging for money. They are providing a

The importance of listening to instructions

2006-03-15T23:12:00.000+08:00

The other day I was on my way to the SWS Percussion Ensemble concert. I asked Christopher how to get there, so he sent me the exact directions to the place. Instead, I looked at the map at the MRT station, and as soon as I saw the words 'community center', I ran off in that direction. Unfortunately, I had missed out the words 'Buona Vista'. Argh!! I ran all the way there only to find out that,

Dreams

2006-02-20T12:09:00.000+08:00

A few days ago I had some funny dreams. You know those maintainence corridors you exit through after you leave the cinema? Somehow I managed to make my way in there, sneaking past the guard. I wanted to sneak into one of the theaters. Along the way I took cover between the hollows of the wall, then I came across this doors which had a sign above and said 'Maintainence'. Or was it 'Admin'? Ah, I

The following is found on the prayer card for World Day of the Sick, 11 February 2006, Adelaide, Australia. I Am Here Now Lord, when I’m feeling so sick and tired lost in a fog, restless and wired oh so alone, chilled to the bone my cries of absence just sink like a stone. Suddenly strangers and friends heed the call weaving compassion connecting us all. Arms of these angels bring warmth &

Expresso-way to hell

2006-02-08T01:23:00.000+08:00

Goodness. Do not drink an expresso and then drink beer! It really screws your head. On Thursday, I had that expresso at 1900, beer at eight something. And I felt it's effect throughout the night. Worked for me, I had reports to finish anyway. I had dinner with Joshua on Thursday. He flew out a few minutes ago. He's visiting the relatives in Sydney. Dinner was all right, simple food at chomp
