I totally forgot about my blog. I apologise if you have to face the same boring entry whenever you come in. XDAnywaaaay, yesterday was Good Friday; a day where all Christians near and far comemorate the death of our Saviour, Jesus Christ, and where every other non-believer comes to diss blog entries like mine. ^^
Yeah uhm well, Celestin came over to church with me, and I must say.. This year's Good Friday mass was.. unique and definitely an eye-closer. I almost fell asleep for the whole of the mass! ._. For the 1st time, the mass had no opening hymn, and there were so many alter boys. o_o I recognised one, since it was my primary school friend.
How I seriously miss the 3 priests that left the church and Singapore, they were like, the ones I knew very well. Fr Phillip Miscamble, the one who guided me more than ever, makes perfect sense in his sermons, and is an angmoh!!`111`!~1 *ahem* Then there's Fr Moses, the chinese guy. His singing is extremely cute, and makes the crowd roar in laughter with every Hokkien phrase he says (that's right, we got hokkien in church! XD). Then there's Fr Clifford, the funniest of the three. He cracks the bestest jokes, but knows when to be serious. So okay, his singing would be what I'd call pulling off a Celestin, but he's the friendliest of the lot. =) To you three in Aussie or whichever part of the world, may God bless you!
So uhm yeah, back to Good Friday mass. We had to kneel and stand a lot, and the Passion of the Christ was hilarious. This guy who was supposed to speak was like.. monotonous, and expressionless. I could've kicked him off there and put my dear Celest to speak instead.
We had the Pinoy choir, too. Much, MUCH better than the normal, Chinese wannabes. I swear, these filipinos have such talent I wonder WHY they come to Singapore to work when they very well can be singers at home, sit back, open their mouths, and get munny rolling in.
The Venetation of the Cross was pretty funny. The priest couldn't really sing in tune nor rhythm, and neither could the lady behind me. Seriously, I appreciate people that can't sing and actually keep quiet if they knew that they were off-key. But NOOO, the lady had to go louder behind me like she was an amplifier with the batteries failing. Celest and I were just laughing away.. and the lady still didn't realise how bad she sounded. How I pity her friend beside her. XD
Celestin: "So where do I kiss?"
Me: "The legs.. or feet, rather."
Celestin: "What feet? Where got.."
Me: -_- "The cloth hasn't been removed yet, duh."
-After the kissing of Jesus' feet-
Us: "Wtf I hit the nail XD"
Well, it was rather fun.. but really, it was sleep-inducing with talks from the priest. My grandmother had to leave after having fainting spells because she fasted that day. Sigh, take care kay, don't overwork yourself. *hugs*
Then when the priests and alter boys left the church..
Jie: "OMG he smiled at you?!"
Me: "Eh? Who?"
Celest: "That Indian among the alter boys la!"
Me: -_- *turns around* "Isn't that his family?" *points*
Us: "OH YAH!" *breaks into laughter*
------------------------------------------
One night I gazed into the sky,
Saw the stars and started to cry
They all reminded me of you,
Which left me feeling down and blue
They made me remember your twinkling eyes,
The memory of our last goodbyes
And then I saw your gorgeous smile,
And stopped to think a little while
Again I glanced and saw your heart,
Which by mistake i tore apart
Then finally I happened to see,
What you really meant to me
I gazed once more out into the night,
Hoping that you were still alright
When suddenly out in the sky,
A shooting star did pass me by
And so I made just one last wish,
And it went something just like this...
I wish I may I wish I might,
I wish to have you here tonight
I closed my eyes and opened them to see,
Your smiling face looking straight at me
You said you were sorry and I did too,
And once more I fell in love with you.
