I'm totally filled! Not much with food, but with air, especially since I haven't been eating much for the day and have some form of food at the end of the day. It kinda traps the air in your tummy and you feel bloated. So technically, I'm celebrating some sort of a Mardi Gras. :O)
The day for fast and abstinence begins today (5 Feb, Tues) instead of tomorrow, since many countries in Asia celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year, and many families will be having their reunion dinners on the eve (6 Feb). Tomorrow and the next three consecutive days, Catholics in Singapore, are permitted to feast during the festive celebrations! There's even no Stations of the Cross this Friday!? What are we becoming of... ? Inculturation I hope. :O)
During the next 40 days of the purple coloured season, it's a time for Catholics to experience an inner change of heart through prayer, fasting and charity. So God, help us!
