Hidalgo


As it's based on a true story, i won't say that the story is crap. I would if it was fictional as i wouldn't have believe a person would go through that crap. The story is a little like the Last Samurai if u ask me. It talks about the a person having a great life until something dramatic traumatizes him. The result is he falling into depression and alcoholism. The lessons behind seem to be similar like, Life is filled with both joy and suffering. We must not be deterred by others' remarks. What is different in Hidalgo i think is this, nothing is predestined. In the story, the arab muslims were saying that he will lose because of it is the will of the god. In the end, it is the will of the person who determines the outcome.

Rurouni Kenshin


i watched 62 episodes of it and what struck the most were these words, " i am serious, if i weren't how can i expect my oponent to take me seriously". People always think i'm joking when i say something, sometimes even when i am serious they think that i'm joking that it's vexing.

Maundy Thursday


Went church visiting with mr ang and the legion ppl. It's so frustrating to note that i'm not longer part of group but an auxilliary member. it's so sad to be reminded that you have graduated from SJI, you are making a new path for yourself. A step into the unknown. A step away from the LAME, a step towards adulthood.

we first went for mass at Risen Christ, the people presented included, Mr ang, gideon, Mark, moses, marc lim, matthew, Edwin and a ton of juniors i dun have much of an impression of. I would have to say, not matter how good they think they are, it was really dull. First, i could understand a single word the priest was saying den the organist was way too slow. I was telling mr ang that they should change the organ, but he told me they should change the organist.
After mass, we had dinner and den walk to Holy Spirit via Bradell-Bishan-Thomson. From Holy Spirit, we travelled to the last stop of the night. Christ the King. Whenever i am at these church , i always have this question in my head, how come the other church have so many more youths. Sidenotes aside the visiting was actually quite useful. Firstly, dun lose ur goal, the road may be tough but we can overcome it. Secondly, Life may be tough but your friend will always be dere beside you, just like god.

Good Friday


Went for the morning service, it was very tiring if u ask me. First, i decided to fast. Second, was singing throughout the whole mass, third, the walking from the night before was tiring. Amanda joined the choir not long ago, and she has gotten the chance to sing the psalm and gospel aclammation. Sometimes i think that it's quite unfair that i don't get the same opportunities but i guess i'll have to be patient.

in the evening went to a farewell party of Chris. He's leaving for Canada soon. Will really miss him, hope he will remember me.

Easter Vigil


Went to church at 730 for choir practice. 900pm the mass started. The mass was really great but i guess the crowd can never keep up with music. Chris and Nick are really good singer, hope i can be as good as them in a year or two. After the mass, my voice was almost gone. the mass ended at 1145pm. I reached home played a little game and went to sleep.

Easter Sunday


Dragged myself out of bed to go to church again for morning mass. There was baptism again. Luckily, there was only 6 candidates compared to yesterday's 25 so we sang much less. The mass ended at 10am, i went home watch Tv den went to sleep

evening out with kevin, i have this feeling that i being pushed around by my good friends again. I seriously can't stand them at times. At one point, i decided to keep my mouth shut to show my displeasure. And they seemed to catch on that i wasn't very happy. When i spoke a few words, they made such a big deal and said that it was a miracle. I guess it's true that we shouldn't try to change the way other ppl are.
