Melbourne Day 4

Hi all.

Matt here. Today began relatively early. We got up at about 9 pm. At least that was the idea. My dear wife-to-be (SHUDDER - Still not used to it) , she set the alarm wrongly so we ended up waking up 1 hour early. So we went back to sleep.

After waking up, we were picked up by Angel's god-sister. She happens to drive the same car as me so it was like seeing an old friend. Anyway we got on the freeway and went to her place, which was really very nice. Typical Australian home I suppose. Its really different from Singapore where everything is so close together. As I'm typing this I'm sitting at the kitchen table in her home, and there's ABSOLUTELY NO SOUND. I can hear my ears ringing. Its really quiet.

After dumping our bags, we went shopping at the nearest mall, where I bought a lot of chocolates. for the people at work. Wait let me correct myself: I bought a few chocolates, SHE bought enought to feed ethiopia. (angel: hey you prayed for a proverb's 31 woman right? Think merchant ship). I guess any worthwhile visit to Australia has got to include buying chocolate right?

We went to a nice pancake place later, where Angel's god-sister, Amanda works. (she's single damn pretty and super available) We had lots of stuff to eat.

Next we went to the church where we celebrated mass for maundy thursday. The mass was very different from Singapore. We tried to go church visiting after that, but most of the churches closed. In Singapore we would be visiting Churches all night long, before having supper at Jln Kayu.

Tomorrow I'm going to cover good friday. Apparently Amanda's parents (who are Angel's god parents) want to throw a bbq after good friday mass to celebrate me finally mustering the guts to propose to Angel.
