Not so Holy Week

I always find myself not holy during Holy Week here in Singapore. Oh well, I grew up with a notorious religious thus I was expected to

  1. abstain from eating pork, chicken and beef during Fridays of the whole Lenten season
  2. attend a series of processions starting from Holy Wednesday afternoon til Goof Friday
  3. join the Visita Iglesia on Holy Thursday night where we recite the stations of the cross
  4. mass on Friday afternoon
  5. then dawn procession on Sunday
  6. Easter Sunday mass

then have to --- Reflect... Reflect... Reflect...

Here in Singapore, I don't get to do that all. Yes, we do abstain but there were instances that we ate chicken hehehe. My family started to do #3 since last year but we usually go the churches every Good Friday before we head off for the Good Friday mass. After that, we just "relax" at home.

The thing is I didn't feel the mood to reflect. I guess not seeing the senakulo or no continuous religious shows didn't help. Or, maybe it's just me.

Workwise, I find the team to be so organized and that scares me. After being lawless for a year, it's a big turnaround. When I opened my email this morning, I got almost 70+ mails, and my training plan already laid out. They also gave me a web camera and headset for team web conferencing. (I really need to lose weight now, the camera will add a few more pounds hahaha) Then, I found out that they don't come to work on time and we can leave at exactly 545pm. Woohoo! That's one of the things that were nagging me but I was so pleased to learn that. We even had a 1 and a half hour of lunch time. Hmmm... This could be very...

Nyamy Nyamy

Our Bebe A is at the stage of being cheeky and endearing.  She can speak so many words now, some clear, some not.  Hehehe.  She likes to sing as well.  She actually has a good tone.  One of the songs that she likes is the one from Wiggles --- Fruit Salad.  Her version though is : Mom : Fruit Salad Bebe A :  Nyamy Nyamy (Yummy Yummy)
