From Lent to Tenebrae
02 Apr 2010 Leave a Comment
While I do not oberveed Lent the way RC do, nevertheless we had a series of sermons preparing us for the Passion week. Last night I attended the frist-ever (??) Tenebrae service on Maundy Thursday. It is a Latin tradition that our worship pastor introduced to the church. The choir were great in this solemn service.
We gathered to re-live the Shadows of events Christ went through before the Cross. There is the Shadow of Prediction, the Shadow of the Agony of Spirit, the Shadow of Denial, the Shadow of Crucificxion, the Shadow of Forsakenness, & the Shadow of Death.
Am I like Peter, James & John, who could not keep watch & pray, but in slumber?
Am I like Peter, who denied Christ?
Am I like the crowds, who cast stones & mock Jesus?
Or will I be indeed like the one who was cruxified with Him, acknowledge Him, & join Him in Paradise?

someone complained that my last theme was too difficult to read thru’ in that shade of green ;p
SO instead of the change due to season or mood, today’s change was from a feedback. Hope you like it & pleasing to your eyes

Surviving without a phone..
10 Mar 2010 Leave a Comment
It died on me totally yesterday morning & I was halfway thru an important SMS reply… da** the s-e slider phone.. I have been wanred but only after I purchased it! Is it true these days gadgets only last for a year??
As my contract is still a year to go, not to mention it is under-utilised, I have no desire to be bound for another 2 years.. Why do they have 24-months contracts??? Without renewing the contract it would cost a bomb to get a new phone. On top of that, only another s-e phone can read the memory card!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trying period where internet & phone bills are concerned.. anyhow I will have to get a replacement phone for sure. But if I get one of those basic ones from the petrol kiosk or 7-11 as rec by D, there will be no camera. So be it! So no more sel-ca for the time being until I changed my mind about buying a more proper phone.
Meanwhile i am uncontactable for the next few days.. maybe cos i am not working so not feeling super urgent to remain in contact except for yesterday where I needed to reply that important sms (which I still have not!).
Just..

I am not doing too well, in that I am not sleeping well AGAIN! Arh.. Sleep – that elusive thing!! It is one gift I have yet to learn how to receive!
Maybe that aggravate the tonsilitis which has not visited me for a while, leading to fever, which further led to a blocked but somehow still dripping nose & watery eyes!
Almost a week & feeling lousy…
Frus & Pissed – Part 2

Waiting. Waiting. Waiting.
It was a day of waiting. Was meeting JH to pick up something, & she was delayed & I was 10min early. Ended up I waited almost 30min. Feeling frus from the earlier bus experience coupled with crampy, I was feeling grumpy already. On top of that I was rushing to meet a friend at 6pm.
To make matter worse, my dear friend, AL, was 1 hour late! I had skipped my Precept class & rush to meet her, she was late. Not only was she late, she did not inform me. I had to call her several times before she answered to find out she was being held up by traffic etc, and she was on the phone.
Man, if you know you are late (and you know!), you should inform me so I won’t be like an idiot waiting at one spot, not knowing what to expect. It is ok to be late, but it is courtesy to inform the other party so we can plan on the next move.
I really gave her a piece of my mind when she arrived. Good thing by the end of the day, my anger has gone off already.
I hate it when people think that just because I am not working does not equate to I have lots of time. Even if I have lots of time, they are not meant to be wasted like this. Can’t they respect my time????
Just only last month, 3 similar incidents happened. No, they were worse – 2 were a no-show.
One appt with C had her telling me she cannot make it when I am already at the meeting place.
Another with GL was after more than 30min when I called, & I was already at the meeting place waiting for 45 min (I was early), he said he was still at a meeting!!! If you were still at a meeting 30min before meeting time, it means you can’t meet me at all, you should have inform me there & then. Not after 30 min past the meeting time, & even then it was when I called. Really testing my patience.
The make-up appt with him still ended up me waiting for more than 30 min for him. I had threatened to walk out already. Being sorry is not enough…….
I intend to be late the next time I meet him, if i meet him. But still, I think he will be later!
Can anyone not get pissed? I wonder why I am even standing it when I am supposed to be a super impatient person! Make things worse when I am now making every effort to be punctual for all my appointments as best as I can. Arh………….
Day 43 – 30th August Sunday

Home Sweet Home… after being away for more than 40 days.
This is the longest I have been away, safe the year in Brisbane. Even London was a month. Though not missing home, I was feeling tired. Probably because I was on the road most of the time & does not have a fixed place to stay, or my same bed/room to speak of.
Not missing home, food, or weather (definitely!), & only made 2 calls to mum, one of which was on her birthday upon my arrival. What a daughter!

It is Run-Day again, & today D & I did a little better by going round the lagoon. 30min in all but not sure the distance.
When reaching the lagoon, my ankles were giving way, & by the time I turned back, my knees were giving way too! But I did not want to stop to walk & kept on & on, but slow lah! Anyone walking would have overtook me ;p
If not for the crushing ankles & knees, I believe i can go faster & further. I need to control & manage the pain..
Keep going..
