Today's Excitements!

A very lovely night today. At mass, heard Fr. Francis Leong give the homily. Fr. Francis Leong was the one who started our OLPS orchestra, and which I joined in 2005. He had to go back to Malaysia (no more SG permit) and I continued in the orchestra, which effectively shrank into the ensemble it is today. But I'm glad at least, for having hung on and kept it going till now, even though it is now really just a 5-person quintet kinda thing. We've been so quiet this year, but our first practice of the year, last Friday, was really enjoyable. At one take, we nailed down a few songs... so it was not as frustrating as it sometimes was when we could not get a song right.

Anyway, the point of the homily was on "Anger". Fr. Leong talked about how Jesus was angry with the commercialisation of the temple, which he called as "his Father's House". He said, that anger, that leads one to changing one-self for the better, is good. It's a kind of righteous anger. In our lives, there are times we need to be like Jesus, to clean up our temples, our Father's house.. we need to overturn the tables and set up new good ones. He had 5 takeaway points even (reminds us of Fr. Luke) - 1) To love the things that are worth loving (e.g. Family, God, Friends, etc) 2) To put first things first (e.g. To seek first the kingdom of God and all things shall be added unto you); 3) To seek spiritual insights (forgot the phrasing) 4) Forgot!!! 5) To contribute to community.

I was so happy to hear such a sermon today.

Well, then the chan family went for dinner. We headed to the Singapore Flyer at my suggestion, to just "see" what food we could find there. Went to Jalapeno's Pepper Steak & Seafood cafe and I must say, it was really good! http://www.jalapenospepper.com.sg/
