April 8, 2007, Palm Sunday
It was Palm Sunset Youth Mass the night before. B was appointed to sing the responsorial psalm. After Mass and dinner B bunked overnight in A's house. Sunday morning came.
A: Since you sang the responsorial psalm yesterday, can you sing it today as well?
B: Huh?
A: Can la... since it's the same... I'm very busy (to compose again) la...
B: Err... okay...
