Easter Sunday / Australia Mission trip

Yesterday was Easter Sunday, the day Christ raised from the death.

This year, my church don't have any special event for easter so the service is like quite normal. The only thing is there's some food provided.

By the way, if you'll have not known, I'll be going for a Gen12 Mission trip with Campus Crusade for Christ to Melbourne, Australia (Monash University). The trip is from 19 April to 9 May 2005. We'll be reaching to the International Students there, who come from all over the world like China, India, Africa, etc...
I need to raise $1,800 to go for this trip, and currently I only raised $735. If you're willing to support me, you can reply to this message or call me at 98356856.
Thanks.

Good Friday

Finally, a break from the project work... Yesterday nite do project until 9.30pm then go dinner with my classmate... it's one of those rare chances where we get to go out together haha...
after that eat until 11pm cos we waited for the indian mutabak... somehow the store yesterday was also the first day of operation... so we were one of the 1st few customers...hehe

then this morning when to church for good friday service to commerate Jesus's death on the cross... but i think the service is too tradition liao, cos they keep meditating, and might not be good for visitors... i also got abit sian and tiring towards the end...

btw, this year is one of those rare occasion where both major christian event (christmas and good friday, ie the birth and death of jesus) both falls on 25th... the 1st criteria of this is that 25th march must be on fri... dont tink good friday will fall on 25 apr...

although now i understand more of the christian calender but i still dunno how they calculate when is good friday, it is like chinese new year where it will fall within the specific period of about 1 mth but keep going forward and backward within it... haha... but christmas falls on a standard date... also for the seasons like Ephipany and Pentecost the lenght of them will depend on when is Good Friday, but Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter always have standard length... still dont really understand why is like this...
