Fish reflexology! Went there last saturday and treated my parents to it.

This is pretty cool...you dip your feet into a pool of fish that eat your dead skin cells! The result is very smooth feet and I highly recommend this! Pay for the full package where you get the fish, feet, shoulder and back massages. It's only $50 and you'll leave feeling really refreshed and gets your blood circulation going. However, if you're uber ticklish, the fish is definitely not for you.


Dad's feet with the bigger fish from Africa. Common name of this fish is supposedly the tilapia.The big ones seem strangely attracted to mum's feet...a lot of dead skin huh.
Mine...quite a normal amount of fish...nibble nibble....The small fish are from Turkey...cool...

I'm fast turning jaded. Tired. I want to be a child again...or at least a rich tai tai

Heard the news yesterday about the Pope's decision about changing the mass to Latin? I seriously think that his reason about wanting people to know the history and tradition of the church IS NOT GOING TO HELP! Seriously. Listening to the mass in your own local language is already hard enough...let alone in Latin.

You want a revival in the Catholic Church? LISTEN TO THE YOUTH! They're the ones who are going to maintain the church and spread the word. The Youth do want to remain faithful and do want to go to church BUT there are just too many rules, too many traditional stuff that just spoils the whole experience. You want the people to learn about the history of the Church? There's something called CATHECISM (a.k.a. Sunday school).

Let's look at what the Church is supposed to teach:
- love (God's love as well as love we shld show to each other)
- understanding
- patience
- God, Jesus and just generally being good

These are more important than the language of the mass! Vatican 2 is about community. Where would be the sense of community if the Church...no no, I shouldn't say Church...I should say "The Pope". Anyway, as I was saying...where would be the sense of the community if the Pope insists on reintroducing Latin Masses? It's going to be a major turn-off for most of the youth. Youths are grappling with their lives, searching for God and searching for answers. Heck, I'm still grappling with my life and constantly searching for answers and for myself in this world.

What is so attractive about the Protestant Churches is that they're inclusive and not exclusive (except maybe to those who refuse to convert...haha). Why no female priest(ess)? What's wrong with having a female up there performing the rites and celebrating mass?

I seriously think that all the old fogies in the Vatican are too removed from the masses, especially the youth. Have more dialogues with the youth; have communication with parish priests who are in contact with the youth as well as the older folks and be more inclusive. Humans always want to feel welcomed and not bogged down by so much religious bureaucracy. Want to take steps backwards? Then step back into the SPIRIT of the 1st Christians who were more concerned about spreading the Good News and trying to become more like Jesus in their daily lives. That's what we Catholics should strive towards. Language matters as language is local and local is easier to comprehend and touch. Haven't we learnt through the New Testament that God is not some far removed being but he/she is always close by and we can easily turn to? He is our counsellor and guide.

What is all the point of all the open showyness of worshipping and showing how in awe we are of him when our lives aren't changed? Mass began as a way of a community praying and worshipping together. I always say that I love being a Catholic because I can go anywhere in the world, attend Mass and still be able to worship and understand what is going on. Nonetheless, I still feel that Catholics are so ritualistic that they've forgotten the importance of mass. It's not the rituals but rather the sense of community and celebrating with God.

What is the Singaporean Chinese look?

Yet another cabbie commented that I don't look local. Um...is there a Singaporean Chinese look to begin with? To which he said that I had a certain 'foreigner' air around me. -_-; I've got no idea whether to take that as a compliment or as an insult...but he stressed that it was neither. Ookkk....ah well.

Ok...it's quite official....ALLISON IS COMING TO SINGAPORE!!!! Woohoo!! She's finally getting her 1.8m frame down here to Singapore! It's been 2 years since we've last met. Gosh. Time really flies. Calling all the SingATW people - she'll most probably be in Singapore from 25-31 June! We should all meet up and do the usual touristy thing and end it with a yummy dinner!! :)

I managed to get free invites to Velvet Dragon's official launch party, which was held on Fri, 8 June. So...me and the gals went down there to party! I really needed it that day because I had faced so much crap on Friday itself (all the crap decided to occur on FRIDAY!) and I really needed to unwind. Anyway, had a wonderful time in the end as I haven't clubbed for ages AND we actually managed to meet 3 nice guys thanks to Moon! :) One of them wanted to get to know Moon better and his 2 friends were tagging along and helping him out. Ahahaha...the 3 stooges. They're nice and all...but I think Moon's against getting to know any of them better (esp the one who wants to get to know her better!!). Ok...managed to get a few pics!

I'm not drunk ok...I just had a bad hair day.
The model with the f&*^ing thick and gorgeous hair!!!! It belongs on Sing's and my head. Damn him. Yes I'm jealous.

You know what? My blog has NO theme. Some blog about food, some fashion, bitching outlet...what do I blog about? My boring life and random thoughts...*sigh* boring...
