okay,
i'm not a catholic but still,
welcome to the family.

my mom was baptised over the weekend.
during easter vigil to be exact.

was making the banner that afternoon with meirong, bel and jkang.
(SEE JINGKANG, I TOLD THEM YOU HELPED!)
i'm not going to say how it turned out,
but let's say i found sewing very fun. (:

rushed home for an early dinner and got changed for church.
we were surprisingly early,
but we got great seats.
sfx church was decorated quite immaculately,
and while waiting,
i was wondering if i could have pulled off such a great job.

digressed,
the service was long.
maybe it was because of the added easter vigil,
thats why i didnt remember my brother's baptism to be so long.
and it started to get really cold.

OHYEA,
i forgot to mention that we met our old neighbours that we havent seen for long!
they happen to decide to come to sfx church for vigil,
and they happen to spot my mom traversing around the church in the all-while ensemble.
it was really great seeing them again,
cos i missed dinner with their family 2 yrs back during christmas cos i was away carolling.
the nicest was meeting the family's domestichelper,
who was with them for about 12 years already.
she and i really clicked,
cos back in pri/sec school i constantly forgot to bring my housekeys out,
and i would have to camp over at their place until my parents came home.
so you can say that they've watched me grow up
into the fine young man i am today.

erh,
*cough* yea.

the vigil was really inspiring,
cos i saw an old friend sing for the first time.
well, prob he sings his solos alot,
but its my first time listening to him.
he's really good, but until now,
i still cant match the face to the voice.
not in a bad way of course.


the highlight was prob the baptism.
cos the choir sang '0n eagle's wings',
which is my utmost favourite hymm.
plus my brother got baptism during the duration of this song,
and now my mom.
well, this song always made me emotional,
for no apparent reason and it made me tear.
i have no idea why but yea.
every single time.


it was great seeing father ho again,
whom i have immense respect for.
and every single time i see him,
he'll ask me,
when's your turn ar?
