math mock suxxxxxxxx.
that shows how well i'm prepared for prelims..

anyway, today was The Assumption of our Mother Mary. went to Blessed Sacrament Church with Fran, Grace and Eugene.. Fran said the parishoners have no sense of punctuality, and i thought my church was bad. but from what i saw, i think it isn't that bad.. had lots of questions floating around in my mind, but quite an experience nonetheless. one thing struck me: i thought mass procedures were identical for all Catholic churches. weird. and they have an OLD choir, as in middle to old age choir. i kept telling Fran that she should start a youth choir, but then again, i hardly saw any youths in attendance.. i mean, the priest may speak slow, the choir may sound mediocre, the music may play super slowly, but if the focus is on God and reverence for Him and the Eucharistic Celebration, i don't think it is boring at all. for me, the sermon was pretty long-winded but i didn't find it boring at all. the mass is never boring. it is the people celebrating the mass who are not paying attention or not focused. am i wrong to say that? eg. Fr Louiseau from my church. he's old, and he has his accent (is it french? oops i cant remember) and though his speech may be kinda slurred, some people just switch off cos they think he's boring, but if everyone listens carefully there's good advice in that sermon. oops, i've been rattling on and on..

i wonder why the church never gives an explanation about the importance and the holiness of the Eucharistic Celebration. if they did, people won't be late for mass, they won't be leaving the church before the mass is over, won't be letting their irritating hps (with orh-biang ringtones) ring during mass, won't be letting their children scream and run about the pews, won't be receiving the holy communion irrespectfully, blah the blah the blah. sometimes i really wonder, why some people attend mass yet don't participate wholeheartedly and with reverence for God. what's the use? worse of all, they disturb other devotees who are really there to unite with God. some people even attend mass without knowing why they do what they do. no wonder they find mass boring. um, i'm rattling again...

finally had the time to browse through others' blogs.. i went to sam fern's, then came across alex yeoh's blog.. oops, didn't know he had one.. i'm super suaku.. anyway, he mentioned something like time passing real fast, and it reminded me of today, had to write our last journal entry for moral ed period. yeah, time's slipping past so fast, only to reminisce the wonderful memories of the past and (try) to catch hold of the fast train of the present. just only a yr and a half ago, i was a newbie in SAJC and wondering where to go. now, i'm about to take my A's and still wondering where to go.. geez. one moment i hoped A's could be over asap, but another moment i didn't want JC days to be over so soon..

hm, to keep the memories of JC, i must take photos everywhere around sch before A's.. haha. like take as many chaoyang pics as possible with sharn.. lol. but FIRST, i must buy a cam! haha. spotted auyong's nikon coolpix at toa payoh hub! going at only $399.. UP $648.. hm. should i......

oh i almost forgot. they announced prom nite this morning during morning asssembly.. what the.. Masquerade de Saint?! nope.. no mask for me. and no way i'm spending my money on Orchard Hotel which is at the fringe of town.. unless.. i dunno unless what.. haha. made a deal with angie (Shell in?) that we'll go clubbing on prom nite, while the rest of the cohort will be diggin into their 10-course dinner.. unless.. dunno unless what again. seriously, i've never heard of Orchard Hotel until this morning, so i'm not expecting anything grand. no way can this yr's prom nite be compared to IJ grad nite at Conrad.. i thought $60 was a good deal for such a grand place and 10-course dinner and not to mention the crowded dancefloor! the music was goooood.. and also too much free gifts to carry home..haha.

i won't imagine myself dressing up for a masquerade, and i can't. gdness.. it's gonna be a nightmaaaaaaaaare....
