Another week passed and I'm down to 2 weeks (or less) left in Brissy.. Well, for the last week, I had a pretty good week... On Sunday, I finally attended an Anglican service, the traditional service which is VERY similar to the Catholic Church. Of course there were slight variations but overall, the order of service and such were very very similar, except for the sign of peace was done before the offertory. Even the Nicene creed was the same (apart the slight variations in words, but generally its the same) I was tickled when I said "We believe in one holy Catholic and apostolic church..." in the Anglican church.. haha.. The readings were the same.. so I heard the readings twice.. Well I guess that's how some of their priests are readily welcomed to the catholic church, with similar service and such.. and that there were many joined/combined services and events between both churches... now i shall go experience the anglican community in singapore just for fun.. of course it must be st andrews where its traditional with priests and alter servers and holy communion and not some new age church with just a pastor preaching... I don't consider those churches as traditional churches even if they consider themselves as anglicans..
On Monday, Susan and I went to the drive through cinema over at Yatala and watched Toothfairy and Sherlock Holmes.. It was a very interesting experience, apart from feeding the mosquitoes (I swear they follow me everywhere!) It was like watching in the comfort of your own home.. well both of us were laughing really loudly, not caring about our fellow viewers.. haha..
Tuesday was Australia Day.. I had a barberque lunch over at Chris and Pauline's place (courtesy of Susan) and after which we went down to South Bank to catch the fireworks.. One thing that amazed me was that there was plenty of people wearing the national flag, in one form or another.. I wont be caught dead wearing stars and crescent out.. Then again, their flag is on a lot of clothing merchandises.. there was not many people over at South Bank compared to Riverfire.. but it was good.. and we had a really good view.. haha.. Susan and I were not that left out, we wore blue.. the Australian flag colour.. tried to blend in with those flag wearers.. haha..
The remaining days of the week was spent bumming around, the usual stuff.. while telling myself I need to pack.. procrastinating...
