holy week.. and i feel so holy.. haha.. right.. went for maundy thurs mass.. latin rites.. pre vatican 2 latin rites... it was definitely an experience... too bad i cant really see wat's goin on at e alter.. cos a tall guy was sittin in front of me.. e problem of being short in a tall country.. y ang mo muz be tall?? maybe ey got all e europeans 'giant' genes.. wahaha... oh well.. it really was an eye opener.. e chants were wow... and surprisingly, many young families attends tt parish.. den again its a family suburb... so i guess it is right to ve young families... e cathedral sees more mature parish goers.. but its in e city... speakin of families.. e families here are huge.. i saw 1 family wif 7 kids! 5 girls 2 boys.. younger boys.. haha.. i guess catholics here help boost e population since according to matthew.. e ave birthrate here is 1.8 (sound like sg..lol) and catholic families seems to be big.. like 5 kids??!! really really dun use contraceptives.. wahaha... good friday was ytd.. day of fast n abstinence... and went to cathedral for gd fri service.. amazingly e church was jam packed... lucky for me julian decided to attend cathedral and was there earlier den me... i arrived at 245 and not much seats left.. can u believe it? i was tryin to keep awake at e readings.. and came gospel.. it was like we attendin a play.. since e choir men were e jews, high priests and pharisees.. oh plus e roman soldiers... veneration of e cross was diff frm sg.. sg we come fwd kiss e feet of jesus on e crucifix.. here is 1 big wooden cross.. we come fwd genuflect touch or kiss up to u.. and since its solem mass.. no organ.. e choir still good though.. but i prefer with music.. i rmb once holy cross had no music due to lent... it was so... dun feel like mass? i dunno.. good friday.. and i kept having "jesus christ is risen today hallelujah" hymn in my head... i know.. e day he died and i'm already lookin fwd to e day he rise.. i kept having easter mood... hmm... my 1st holy week away frm home.. maybe tt's y.. muz think positive.. be optimistic.. ohoh.. e media here helps.. good friday and guess wat programmes ey showed?? e sydey anglican church has this programme called "the christ files" and it is good.. e epsiode shown was on e resurrection of jesus.. and of course e crucifixion.. it is done documentary style, lookin at historical records.. and not juz the gospels... lookin at historical writings.. it was concluded such an event had happened.. not juz a myth... or legend.. its a fact.. romans greek jews and bible all wrote similar things.. and bible were book of diff writings by diff pple of diff times.. and ey all ve similarities.. really a good documentary i say.. after tt was an easter programme.. but i dun really like it cos it focus too much on e works of bible society.. not how easter being celebrated worldwide.. so i switched to another channel to watch a 1952 movie of the miracles of our lady of fatima.... late night movie was passion of christ... tell me.. aint e media promoting christainity? den again.. australia is under the queen of england commonwealth.. so ey ve e right to be christianish... not tt i'm complaining... holy sat no mass.. unless i go to easter vigil at 7pm.. which to me is wrong timing.. n since i dun go easter vigil.. i dun intend to start either... well i think e archbishop gonna celebtate mass again.. tt make him celebratin mass e entire holy week... not sure bout thurs since i din attend there.. yeah.. good thing bout archie is his homily is short.. wahaha.. ok bad michelle... its EASTER tomorrow!!!

(and 3 pple din tell me.. wth...) 2: he's catholic.. when i saw him at e chaplaincy centre is was like pointing at him "screamin" YOU!! ok so both of us were shocked.. i guess e same 3 pple din tell him either.. lol.. last surprise is tt he's e friend jac was tellin me about.. e one lookin pple to go church with... wahaha... anyway.. when we arrived at burleigh head it was ard noon? tide was pretty high and strong waves.. e aussies managed to go past e waves and further out of e shore.. body surfing.. julian and i were like pathetically stuck.. haha... we couldnt really master it.. not i really tried cos i din really wanna go too far off shore... went for lunch and we soaked into their culture here by walkin barefooted cross e road to e shops and buy out burgers... michael sorta "laugh" at both me and julian.. cos we were standin in e shade due to hot floors... we concluded tt their soles are made of elephant hides.. lol.. never are we goin to try tt again if possible.. haha.. after lunch e guys decided to ve a siesta and after tt we went to e national park and great scenary.. of e pacific ocean... speakin of ocean.. e waters are really clean in e sense tt i dun feel sticky after i got out of e water.. since i only hop into e shower when i arrive back.. which is like 7??? rushed off to hairu's place for dinner after tt.. drank and played stupid games.. went to sch field to play a really really stupid game which i think i finally figured out how to play... it is real real real stupid... who ever invented the game ought to shoot himself... palm sunday today and e celebration is slightly diff frm sg.. there is a procession.. maybe cos its THE cathedral and archie was e main celebrant.. who knows..

went for chrism mass ytd.. my 1st chrism mass... wow.. e choir is fanstastic as usual.. combined wif a sch choir.. (i din see bcb but i did see acb) i hope e chrism mass is juz for brisbane archdiocease.. if not the population of priests is bad.. i think it's about e same as singapore?? yeah.. one of the priest looked cool.. he had shoulder length hair beard and all.. and his hair is brown.. he gave me a jesus look a like.. haha.. i also conclude tat bishops and cardinals wear e red cap to cover their baldin heads.. wahaha... ok just kiddin.. but its sort of true.. in western countries.. e bishops here are mostly balding.. very stragically place caps.. wahaha...

another week of school gone... sigh... finally attended newman catholic society meeting.. or more like fr ian celebrated mass... speaking of fr ian.. he reminds me of some tall irish wizard.. aka dumbledore.. wahaha.. bit like br michael.. in e tall part.. haha.. maybe not wizards.. druids.. yeah irish druids.. lol.. i think i'm reading to much of fr andrew greeley novels... especially since his main characters are all of irish decend... contract with an angel is insteresting.. hilarious.. but interesting... in some what made fun of e heavenly choir.. for singin all e time.. wahaha... watched 10000BC ytd.. not too bad the storyline.. considering i dont even know what i was watching... while watching part of it.. i remembered why i was scared of watching jurrasic park the first time.. the mega dodo resembles dinosaur.. and start attacking humans.. e main character appears in 3 diff tribes prophecy.. all states that he will do great things.. him speakin to the sabertooth tiger was lame though... "if i free you please dont eat me..." and the tiger actually listened.. though many a times it seems like wanting to eat him... i almost didnt like the ending.. the four legged demons seems to be from egypt.. cos the tribes were all slaves and seems to be buiding pyramids alongside with the mammoth (wooley elephants)... the "god" is hopeless.. the female lead was killed... male lead was devasteded.. i would too if i travel from the peak of the mountains.. cross the rainforests.. battled dinosuars.. end up in a bushland.. freed and talk to a sabertooth.. got lost and crossed the bloody dessert to free her... but in e end for her to die in my arms... so anti climax.. she was revived in the end.. old mother used her last breath to revive her.. fulfilling the prophecy... all was well in the end..
