Moon

Well its a long time on my blog. Anyway i thought this might be a nice post. Took pictures of the crescent and full moon. I think you can make out the craters on the full moon.

Esplanade

I was down at the esplanade last week around 5 to 6pm. Took some shots there, and found the atmosphere at that time really nice and windy.

Good Friday

There was not much happenings in church. Staircase f was empty for the first time in Good Friday's history. No extra boys to help out for veneration of the cross. Church was almost lifeless after each service, but a small group of us gathered after the 10am service, and we said, lets go somewhere and make this Friday enjoyable. Thus we decided to bowl at safra. We had a good time there about 7 of us, and we played 2 games. Later i went back to attend the 3 pm service,and was bored for awhile after that till ian ben and noel came to church around 5pm to help aunty bessie to give out candles for the Stations of the cross in the church carpark.

Later in the night i went to katong with the guys for dinner and had an enjoyale night with them. I'd say this Good Friday is rather quiet and solemn than the times where i would be with the servers serving the services, but it turned out well though i didnt serve.

Holy Thursday

This Year I was not rostered to serve any of the Holy Week masses. I didn't serve, but for holy thursday i followed my family to Sacred Heart church in tank road for the 6pm mass. Although it was small, it was really vibrant and warm welcoming. After the mass, i headed back to Trinity church to join the rest of the servers for adoration. However, there was no adoration to be done. The servers still stayed on in church together some in the main church, some down in the canteen. We did our final adoration as a society at 2330 by praying the rosary together, and i felt it was a good way to end of the final hour of adoration.

Picnic @ Sentosa

Last friday the boys and I went to sentosa. At first ben and i planned around 15 boys to come, but in the end only 8 came, the number may seem small but fr Tim joined us in later, it was unexpected, but we enjoyed ourself with him around. the night before we went to sentosa, we made sandwiches at ben's house.Ben noel iggy jj and me made spam and cheese sandwiches. The boys liked it. Fr tim is the best man, he came prepared, he brought his beach mat, bought nasi lemak for our lunch and drinks too. His personal favorite was his watermelon. The boys played in the water, soccer and my aerobie ball.
They tore the fins of it apart, but they enjoyed it even more. Weather was great too. The sun was up on that day... It turned out to be better than expected with fr tim too.
=D

Jools holland

This is a late post, but it a week of high and lows and it has been raining the whole week. OK, it was very unexpected and unpredictable but i said yes immediately when edward asked if i wanted to go for a concert on wednesday evening on jools holland.

I didnt know who he was nor did i knew his style of music. But i was free and never been to a concert or into the esplanade theater. So i went and boy did i enjoy myself. I found that his style was rhythm & blues, jazz and classical. I liked when his 17 orchestra did a splendid Intro and got the crowd going. And there was some awesome solos on the trumpet, saxophone and piano and oh of course the drummer. He did like a 7 min drum solo on the second encore. Yes there was a second encore to the concert.It was great the whole encore kept the crowd in their seats or dancing.

Jools holland orchastra concert was the first every concert i went for, and like what what bala said, ive got 2 ticks on my list, one is going for a concert, the other going into a bar, Harrys's. Thanks for that night edward and bala, sorry about the pants.

Holidays

Well, im on holidays now, till 21st April. Results coming out this Friday. Its a long holiday, and holy week is just around the conner. Im still looking for some part time work here and there but the drive to really hunt for one is low. I was thinking of doing something enjoyable, its not only the money but what am i going to do. My parents suggested working in the expo or suntec for the weekends and its on events, like a computer fair or something like that. Thats a good idea but im still considering it. My other friends are on holidays too, some want to go out, some just stay at home. Im just looking for a little adventure.

Flying roulettes

This is a Video i took from the airshow of the Australian flying Roulettes.

Singapore Airshow

This blog is one week overdue but here it is. Went to the singapore aerospace show last weekend with my parents and destin. It was tough getting in as the crowd was overwhelming. I do not know much about planes except that they could fly. But the military hardware about planes looks cool and the stealth technology amazes me.

In the air display, they displayed a part on Singapore's military hardware and the rest were from the US and other countries. It was enjoyable to see the show and veiw the aircraft and do some photography. During the show, the Black knights demonstrated their acrobatics with the f-16, followed by the F/A-18, the golden eagle from korea the f-16 from the US, and a another planes from russia. followed by the A380 airbus and the finale was done by the Australians roulettes squadron.

Overall it was good, and as for destin, it was his first time going for an air show.

B1-B lancer. Biggest plane there.

School

Exams are around the corner. Spending my time studying now. I've got 4 subjects being tested, Maths, Static and strength of materials, Digital fundamentals and electronic devices. Starts this Friday till next Thursday. I hope i make it through and not sit for the supplementary paper. Till next time on the blog..

A weekend in Sentosa

Its been a long time since i've stayed in sentosa. Id say last weekend there was really enjoyable(though i had to study and leave in between for an exam). It was actually planned in early January, but the chalets where all full till February. The Huts are now improved with a capacity of four beds. Though it was raining, it didnt damped our mound to go out and have a swim at the pool, though i missed the beach one and of course have a nice BBQ in the evening. It was all great. If not for them, i think i may not have enjoyed this much.

New Year

Its abit, well ok very late for this, but as we all know 2008 is here.
I really enjoyed 2008, it was a mixture of both ups and downs. Early last year i went to bintan, and was enjoying my hol's then poly came and i started a new school life.
No more going to school in uniform and waking up as early as 6am. Church has been wonderful too, though there was stuffs happening but there where signs of servers still having the flame to serve. Easter came and Christmas went by all so fast. But My friends kept me companied throughout the year and my family was there for me too and helped organize my birthday. It was really great.

Well 2008 is one with an extra day in it. Hope it does good.

Servers camp 2007 Spirt of giving Part1.

Yes we had a camp this year from 16 to 18 dec in church. Theme was on spirit of giving.
This time round there where a lot of ups and downs in the camp, but it came it went and we lived through it. So God is always there with us.(thanks).\








We had a talk conducted by Father Terence. He first gave us a jigsaw puzzle with 2 missing pieces to each group. Later asked us to find the missing pieces. Some groups went to hunt for it,some just took the other groups pieces and some had to protect their pieces. On our part as servers, he pointed out that there was some rival in this game as some had to guard the pieces while others where taking it. Next he asked us to write down our top 5 most important things in our lives,then he began his talk. Well in our part of spirit of giving as servers, we are to remember the God sent his ONLY son(he gave) And his son died n the cross alone just for us. Nothing more spectacular can be said and done.

We as servers remember that we are serving god, and in serving we giving unconditionally for our masses that we serve. even if there are no boys for mass for whatever reason, Christ died on the cross alone, he can say mass alone. So in the part of the jigsaw puzzle, we should have helped each other out, and our 5 most important things, should try to give it up for God.
