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

2006-08-20T02:13:00.000+08:00

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

2006-08-13T22:39:00.000+08:00

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.

Why the Church does not admit women to Holy Orders

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

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

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

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,

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

Whew! These days have been full of work and other activities. I seriously have to manage my time better. I was so caught up with my Legion stuff over the weekend that I didn't have much time to study. No, a better reason is that I chose not to study earlier. Now I'm going to fail Monday's Immunology paper even though so many hints were given. This always happens, being the procastinating fool

1 January 2006, Mary – Mother of God This ‘study break’ was the last week of the year. Ironically, I did not study at all. It was a mix of catching up on projects, practical reports and late nights spent playing games. I had dinner with Daryl Chng and Donna on Wednesday. We went to Fish and Co at the Glass House. The Glass House is opposite Plaza Singapura. We had to wait for half and hour,

A: No. What the Church teaches is that anyone who commits a mortal sin and does not repent before death goes to hell. Mortal sin requires three conditions: grave matter, full knowledge of the gravity of the action, and full and free consent to the action. If any of those three

Went to play pool yesterday with Joesphine, Kim Hock and Rayson. Damn, I need to practise more. Rayson was slow at first but he managed to beat me at the end. Not bad! Met Joshua for dinner after that. I decided to skip CL, muahahahaha..... Today, I had Legion meeting. Had lunch with them as usual, then went to Wu Dian Zhi Xing's Church to help them in their recruitment. Blessed Sacrament Church

Long live the Pope!

2005-04-20T22:52:00.000+08:00

Long live the Pope! His praises sound Again and yet again: His rule is over space and time: His throne the heart of men: All hail! The Shepherd King of Rome, The theme of loving song: Let all the earth his glory sing And heav'n the strain prolong! Let all the earth his glory sing And heav'n the strain prolong! Beleaguered by By the foes of earth, Beset by hosts of hell, He guards the loyal flock

All right! Exams are over at fricking last! W00000t! Now it's time to look for some work. Let's see...Biostatistics was okay. I managed to do most of the questions. Hopefully the answers are right. Cell Biology on Thursday was damn easy, MCQ especially. Ok fine, I had trouble with the essays. But it was manageable overall. Went down to Bugis after Cell Bio with Pei Suan to buy Nadiah's and

Yeah, organic chemistry wasn't as bad as I thought. But Biochemistry wasn't as easy as I thought. Nah, it was quite manageable on the whole. In all my years, at exam time I will be playing games instead of studying. On normal weeks I won't be playing anything (but that doesn't mean I'm studying). Like today, I think I played more Warcraft than I studied. Not a good sign. I should be putting

Double Deaths on Divine Mercy Sunday

2005-04-04T01:14:00.000+08:00

Second Sunday in Easter (Feast of the Divine Mercy), Year A 3rd of April 2005 Lessons are all over already. Exams have started. All right, I finally passed my Organic Chemistry. I got B for practical. I’m tyco! I’ve attempted to study all week, but it’s obviously not working very well. At least I understand the lecture on the SP hybridization better now. Great, that sure helps a lot. Didn’t

Good Friday, 25 April 2005 Went to church at 9 am. We spent much time preparing for the Passion play and stations at 3 pm. Lots of last minute work. But I'd say we did a good job. Well done people!! Easter Saturday, 26 April 2005 Went for Legion meeting in the morning. Damn, we lost another guy. Another two of them are considered as on the way out. Sometimes, I feel like condemning these

Father forgive them!

2005-03-25T00:26:00.000+08:00

Father forgive them! With these words of Jesus we have been forgiven. Let us meditate on how the Lord used these important words on the way to Calvary as we accompany him. Let us feel the way Jesus felt and experience his merciful love. Let us live those moments of pain and echo his words as we pray for the forgiveness of our sins and the sins of the whole world. In the agony in the Garden he

Cycle A, Palm Sunday, 20 March 2005 As Holy Week begins with the celebration of Palm Sunday, we might be asking ourselves if we can truly live out all of the aspects of Christianity. The past five weeks of Lent should have been a profound experience that produced abundant personal fruits of conversion and spiritual progress. When we encounter Jesus and his gospel, we immediately sense that we

7 March 2005 Went to play DOTA with Eugene and Izaac at Raiders. I have not seen Izaac in a long time. His skin is still pale. Well some of his navy mates were with us too. Played from 8pm to 12 mn. Yes, that long. I’m amazed my parents didn’t kick up too much of a fuss. 9 March 2005 Went for GEO Council meeting at 3 pm. We cleaned up the room after that. Discarded a lot of junk.

God of mercy and compassion, Look with pity upon me; Father, let me call thee Father, "Tis thy child returns to thee. Refrain: Jesus Lord, I ask for mercy; Let me not implore in vain; All my sins I now detest them, Never will I sin again. By my sins I have deserved, Death and endless misery;

12 February 2005 Went for Legion meeting in the morning. Came home to do my homework. Went to watch Constantine with Pet, Robin, Winson and Angela. Whoa! The action was really good. I like the firearms! But the Catholicism presented in the show is not to be taken seriously. For example, Constantine is not an ordained priest, therefore he has no power to administer the Anointing of the Sick. But

Happy Chinese New Year to all! 9 February 2005 Went visiting today! Mainly my relatives' places. Collected an ample amount of ang baos. Goody. Once again, I comtemplated on my non-existent command of Chinese dialect. Poor me. Finally finished reading George Orwell's 1984. Goodness, it is such a depressing book. If I weren't Catholic, I would have killed myself by jumping off the building

I was talking to Cerelia over MSN in the wee hours of the morning, for a very long time. She had a lot of questions about our faith, so I was more than happy to answer them. I never knew her to be Christian, and to be from Campus Crusade for Christ. I was very, very surprised. Great, I finally managed to converse with one of them. Due to the sensitive nature of the matter, I will not speak too

Today si bei suay ah!! I'm going to fail my biostatistics quiz, because I foolishly did not study. The questions were so easy, but I could not do any of them. What a disgrace. I have to wake up my bloody idea. Then during Biochemisty practical, I destroyed Josephine's billabong pencil case with concentrated sulphuric acid. Holy shit!! I feel very bad. Her souvenir that Yumei bought from China was

27 January 2005 Ok, today wasn't such a shitty day. Dr Xu didn't F me for tutorials. I even decided to go down for band. And I bothered to learn something on the xylophone. Gee, it's not so bad. Beats having to sit down at the back and stone for a few hours. I will put more effort into learning this music thingy! Yeah!! 28 January 2005 Today was a good day. Went to play LAN with a few of

Let’s see what happened today. Today I went to the library after Microbiology B practical. I had to renew the book I borrowed. Then the machine had some problem. After I keyed in my PIN, it hanged. So I was about to ask the librarian for help when the machine became all right. Ah. I went for rosary organized by NYP Legion of Mary. It was for the tsunami victims. Decided to stay behind and

2005-01-23T22:26:00.000+08:00

Just an addition.. I was reading todays' papers and I read the one about the 'soggy biscuit'. Oh my God! How can they ever have something like that? The very act of masturbation is wrong in itself, yet you can have a group of people competing with each other in wanking? I thank God that he has kept me from seeing anything like that. Ok lah, not that I am super holy, but then....wah lao eh...

19 January 2005 Today there was open house at school. So I went down to help in the name of nyp-pals. Brought some people to tour SCL. Then they re-deployed me to car park 17, at the back of the business school. Had to bring this class from Bendeemer sec on a school tour. Unfortunately, I forgot to take them to the school talk at the lecture hall. But thankfully, they helped to arrange

Why are people so superficial? Why do we backstab others when we hate others doing it to us? Why do we mock others when we are afraid of others' mockery? Are we stupid or what? I'm seen too much of this. God have mercy on us sinners.

Walking around places I've never been to I guess. Twosome: Chips- Do you gamble? Lotto, weekly poker night or weekends in Vegas? Not really. I'm really bad at gambling. No money anyway.

Let's see... it was quite a slack week. Very little homework, though it's starting to pile up right now. What else is there...not much really. Over a period of time, I have made an interesting observation. With the profileration of 'blogs' or online diaries, people tend to make their innermost thoughts open for everyone to see. Ok, it may not be too much of a bad thing. But what if your

31st December 2004 Today school ended at 10 Am. I went home. Joshua came over. We all had lunch, then headed down to pasir ris for chalet. My brother came along too. Reached there at about 5pm.. We went down to the park to play some games then came back to BBQ at 6 or so. Food was cooked by Pet, and it was f***ing good! Then we had the countdown to 2005. We had the sparklers and party

Merry Christmas to all! 23 December Went to school for what? 15 minutes of practical briefing? Then met my brother, Adeline and Madeleine at YCK Mrt. Then we went back to my house. Kellina came in the afternoon. We had to search for her because she alighted at the wrong stop. She stopped one stop ahead of the supposed stop. So they were cooking for that night's spiritual gathering at their

School started again. 4 hour lectures with breaks in between. Nothing much. Went for carolling. We went to 6 houses, ending at Julius' house. Last week we went to 5 houses. Very full now, as there was a lot of food. Sianz, later have to be in school at 8. zZzZzZ Christmas coming soon. Hmmm.

Went with Benjamin Neo and his father to Ms Maisie Tay's cremation. She passed away on Wednesday. She was my teacher in primary 4. So we went to the Mandai Crematorium to pay our respects. Quite a few marist teachers there and a couple of students. Quite sad to see her husband and kids crying so bitterly. Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me....

Went down to city hall then went for 6 pm mass at St Joseph's Church (The one in town). After that I went to meet Robin, Samuel, Angela, Winson and Eugene at City Hall MRT. We went down to Petals, the

Wah, after 7 years. That's a very long time. Things happen real fast in one decade. You know, this is the first time I've ever been to a Catholic wedding. Yeah, so I'm feeling very happy for them.

Thanks to Cheryl Woo's great idea, i managed to fill up one hour. Thanks Cheryl!! And when I thought all my problems were over, another one appeared. I lost this piece of paper with some important stuff for my program. Damn it, now I have to redo it again. So I was busy panicking about it and as a result I was late for precamp. Precamp was at St Michael's church. It was quite okay. I think

Tuesday I went to look for Generals at Serangoon Shopping Centre. The uncle says stock comes in at 2pm. So I went to Heartland Mall to walk around before coming back at 2. The man says stock comes in on Wednesday. On Wednesday, I went to visit the Senoko Incinerator with the Geo Council. Apparently they put my name on their members roll. Which means I have 3 CCAs now. Lol. Ok, so I go back to

Went for band outing at sentosa in the morning. It was quite fun, though for some reason my legs started bleeding while I was kayaking. Must be the mosquitoes or the fiberglass. And my thumbs keep getting abrasions from the side of the kayak! Damn, my kayaking is rusty.
