Was at mass at Church of Holy Spirit yesterday for Saturday Evening Mass and Fr. Andrew Wong gave the homily.
Been a long time since I last heard him.
His homily is simple, "Crab mentality" in a story form. Goes like this.
A woman went to the market to buy crabs for her family. After choosing the crabs, she put them into a basket. The stall operator then just left the basket on the counter and assisted her in getting other things.
The lady was worried that the crabs will climb out and escape when she saw the crabs climbing over one another.
The stall vendor, replied, "Don't worry. They won't be able to escape. When 1 crab gets above the other, the rest will pull him down."
That is Crab Mentality.
We, also do this very often don't we, often without realizing too. When someone tells us something that we ourselves do not do, will not do or simply dom't belive, we are also very skeptical and also more often than not, we put the other person down.
I don't know about you, but sometimes I'm guilty of that too.
I do not want to have this crab mentality and therefore, I shall try my best to not do this anymore.

Post dated - Valentines' Day 2009
I finally have the chance to sit down to blog about my VDay (or lack) of it.
As like any normal Saturday, we woke up late, and usually I wake up first. With hubby still snoring on bed, I would have separated the dark and the light colored clothing and throw the first load into the washing machine.
At this point in time, hubby usually wakes up and we just laze around waiting for the laundry. Once it's done and out in the sun, we'll be going down to the nearby coffeeshop for brunch.
Come back, wash the 2nd load. Into the sun it goes too.
That evening, we went for mass at Church of the Holy Spirit at Thomson followed by dinner at Thomson Plaza. We had Sushi Tei. One of my preferred Japanese restaurants.
And that's that lor.
No frills, no fancy. No presents even!
Were we always this boring? Or we just got older and older and we don't see the need to celebrate it on purpose?
After all, everyday can be Valentine's Day isn't it? (Sounds cliche I know.) Maybe I am trying to make myself feel better.
But honestly, I don't mind it a single bit. Nice, cozy dinner with hubby and we had fun, laughter and good food. Enough.
