Had to wake up early for a dental appointment at NUH before work today, but it was raining, so traffic was pretty snarled up with trees falling all over the place, car accidents happening at every expressway (one happened right to the side of me on the AYE while in another jam *facepalm*). When i was done, a funny thought occurred to me while driving out of the NUH carpark, flashbacks of driving my fiat out of the same car park with my wife and daughter seated behind, going home for the first time. =) It was a very happy thought. Which led to the next happy thought of remembering that my carpark charges were waived (despite parking overnight) because they were servicing the car park barrier when we were exiting.
We had a visit to the church by a Nuncio...... a what? .......it's ok, that was my reaction as well. He is a papal (as in the Pope, not paypal) emissary, a diplomatic representative of the Pope having ambassadorial status. As he didn't give a homily (palm sunday readings are long enough!), so didn't really have any impression of him, aside from the congregation queueing up to kiss his ring after mass. Being the first sunday of the month, there was also free food and free country music by the Countrymen, so I hope he was entertained sufficiently! =) There was some irony in that it was 1st April, so they could have dressed up anyone in a funny hat and staff, and Singaporeans would still line up to kiss his ring.
Which led to the wife asking after i told her about his visit
wp: "so how do people know what protocol is in such instances, i mean you don't want to be doing the wrong thing right?"
z:"i don't know, usually someone knows, otherwise would that make it a cardinal sin?"
LOL that got me a death-glare from the wifely person (which was funny because nobody else at the dinner table got that).
