Edith, I think I'm getting old too. My knees are aching as well.

Good Friday masses are loooong. That's an understatement. With stations of the cross, the veneration and all, the mass took about 2 hours or more today. I've forgotten that Good Friday also meant a lot of kneeling and standing. It also means rain in the afternoon, close to 3pm and a church packed full of suddenly pious people. Yes, despite turning up in church half an hour early, which was a feat for me, our family was left with no space to sit and the wardens actually opened the parish hall (also known as the canteen) where we grabbed chairs, shifted them to form rows and watch the 'telecast' of what was taking place upstairs. The parish hall itself contained 300 people and considering that our church has 2 huge levels upstairs that are each more than 4 times the size of the parish hall, it's pretty amazing where these people suddenly pop out from.

So after lunch I was left with 2 hours to complete as much as I could of my SC2101 paper which was due on Tuesday. Being ever so quick, I managed to cover at least 4 sections, close the 3000 words before leaving the house for dinner with the Osaka gang(:

As you can see, Andrea pangseh-ed as usual. Okay, shall not bitch about Andrea here because she's going to see this. Shall bitch about her to her another day(:

So you see, even our outings in Singapore seem to have some japanese flavour when we go out together. We headed first for a fantastic japanese dinner with the prettiest desserts ever at The Central, then took a stroll around Clarke Quay while I checked out the place where I'd be going with Moses, Jo and all for drinks on Sunday. We watched people pay to play with their lives on that bungee thingy then sat down at a fantastic corner filled with couples for some HTHT which didn't really start till 930pm because we spent most of the time digressing.

HTHT sessions were fun as usual. New stuff uncovered and covered. Sometimes when I realise I can talk about things freely, it seems to imply that I have come to an acceptance and I am letting go, which is a good thing. It's only during the times when I'm still struggling within myself that I feel like I can't really talk about things. So I guess it'll apply to all too. Putting a voice to your thoughts, discussing about them actually helps to recognise and rationalize them. Thank you guys for actually for listening, for having such huge reactions, for an animated discussion on everyone's problems and for making the most noise by the Singapore River.

Then thank you, Sheaux for the message when I got home. It's so sweet(:(: And Hikoto for keeping the secret a secret.

I'm looking forward to more outings, clubbing sessions after exams! Haha. I wouldn't mind a graduation trip to Japan too!
