It's Easter!

Wow! It's Easter already! After all the moaning and groaning, the kneeling and the tears, we have finally come to the joyous season of Easter. To bad it is not a big deal in Singapore. Why, in most European countries, Monday is a public holiday. Oh well...Anyway, I have this one burning question about Easter. What does Easter got to do with bunnies? I see no religious implication or symbolism surrounding rabbits. So why the big fuss? Does it represent new life like the Easter eggs and butterflies? I really do not know.

I attended the Easter Vigil service last night. It was quite fun as I got to play with candles! And also, there was a lot of singing involved. The choir was good too. But, the mass was a bit too long--2 hours long. As long as a movie. But, way better than some movie experiences I've had.

Speaking about movies, why is it always the case that "The Prince of Egypt", is always screened on TV during this time of year? It gets rather repetitive, and seriously, the parting of the Red Sea episode is not as awe-inspiring as I first watched it in the theatres. Now, it is relegated to that of a Good Friday weekend movie. Just like "The Ten Commandments" and "Ben Hur" before...
