So it’s all finally complete. The whole week of crazy events, one happening after another…

In the past several days, I oversaw the Catholic Awareness Week (CAW) in NTU. It was a three-day exhibition that gave us in the Catholic Students’ Apostolate the opportunity to do a little PR campaign for our faith and our activities. We essentially had a Catholic FAQ with straightforward questions such as “Who is Jesus Christ?” and “Do Catholics worship Mary?”, to slightly more controversially phrased ones like “Do Catholics really consume flesh and blood every week?” and “Are angels for real?”. At the end of the week, I’d like to think that, despite our small-scale activity, we did drum up a relatively high amount of interest in the faith and the activities that the CSA gets involved in.

The CAW also encompassed a series of programmes that were unfortunately not too well attended. On Thursday, we invited Brother Michael Broughton, Vice-Principal of St. Joseph’s Institution to speak about the “Universality of the Catholic Church”, while on Friday, Kelvin Chia, co-founder of the apologetic group ACT, came down to speak about the Da Vinci Code. The sad thing is that our attendance was low because several CSA members chose to watch the University Pageant instead. No idea who won though. Heh.

And of course, there was the musical on Saturday, which, in a nutshell went much better than any of us expected. My thanks to all those who sent well-wishes via SMS. Your support is much, much appreciated.

Now, normally, I don’t agree with much of what MissIzzy says, but I think in her latest blog post, she makes some rather valid points. Like how parents can sometimes have inappropriate priorities by choosing church over child.

Proving that I’m a sucker for memes… here’s one kakita started that I joined soon after direcow. Basically, our MSN nicks look as such: Â

Kakita: If you were gay, it’d be ok
direcow *if you were queer, I’d still be here*
Petey - I would feel free to say I was gay (but I’m not gay).

The phrases are from the Avenue Q song “If You Were Gay” (lyrics can be found here). Apparently even Viv is in on the act, but there’s not many quotable lyrics left… except for - “If you were gay, I’d shout hooray!” which unfortunately doesn’t quite have the same connotation as the others.
