Well, today is Friday, which means hospital visit day again. Woke up at 6am to serve mass in church. Was rather slack as Fr Romeo did everything himself as the table was next to him. Fr Jean Baptiste Con-Celebrated the mass. By the way, Fr Jean Baptiste is a French priest who is just visiting Singapore. Mass went smoothly. After mass, i had breakfast with both of the priest. Got to know Fr Jean Baptiste more and he told me a lot of facts about Europe. He talked about the change in technology and some other stuff over breakfast. He is leaving Singapore for France tonight. From what i heard from Fr Romeo, and later confirmed by Fr Jean Baptiste himself, he, Fr Jean Baptiste, is or at least was the vicar of the Mission Etrangeres de Paris aka M.E.P.That means that he is second only to the Superior General of M.E.P. A friend of my churches' parish priest, who is also part of the M.E.P. So after breakfast, i went to Fr Romeo's room to find han yu pin yin for some Chinese words but that gave me a headache since all the Chinese words were in "normal" Chinese. So Fr Damien came down for hospital visit then we left. Was pouring! So he dropped me at the sheltered area then i took out an umbrella from the boot and apprantely, i did not close it properly! So Fr only noticed it when he parked the car and so had to get out of the car with a small umbrella to close it. Naturally, he was drenched! I was waiting unknown about this in the hospital. So, i received a phone call and was told to go back to the sheltared area where he picked me up and we left the hospital. So we did not really do our hospital visit. Anyway, we were left with 2 choices, to go back to church and most probarly hear Fr Romeo laughing at us or got to the East. We went to the East. First stop was Fr Damien's cousin's house which i have to say was rather messy. Fr had to bless the house but could not find the crucifix. We looked high and low for it and finally, after 45min of searching, we found it. We cleared many things out of the house including some cooking spices and well, basically junk. About 5 or 6 plastic bags went down the garbage shoot. We still had 2 bags and a box of junk to bring down! So after blessing the house, we went to Haig road i think to get fishes and then to eat. After that we went back to the car which was at Fr's cousin's house void deck. By chance, we stumbled upon the cleaners clearing the garbage shoot. If i am not wrong, Fr asked them to clear mattresses which were in his cousin's house. He loaned $10 from me to pay the workers. Seems that he ran out of money. So after that, we went to the bank at Joo Chiat Complex so that he could withdraw money and pay his insurances. On the way, we passed the president's house which was tightly guarded. Fr asked me if i wanted to see the First Lady, which i think is the president's wife. According to Fr, he knows here rather well. So we went to Joo Chiat Complex to do some banking stuff then we went to buy pots as Fr complained that 2 pots were broken. So he bought a pot, 8 tea spoons and half a cruitte. Which was basically 1 vinegar dispenser, or something like that. So after that, i was sent home. And here i am now...
