I'm now a confirmed catholic haha.. No lah, it actually means i'm an 'matured' catholic. Suppose to be more involved and responsible in my action and contribution to the catholic community. Expected to have the knowledge and carry myself off as a regular catholic. No longer a newbie. Well, that was fast right? I was only baptised three months ago. And now? Must know everything. hee..
Ber even asked me what's my next step. It's been on my mind all these while. Tried my hand at helping the charismatic group at Risen Christ but it just didn't work out. Thought of being a sunday school catechist. Well, natural choice cause i'm a teacher. Of course can't because i'm a newbie and not spirit-filled enough to fit that role. Then since i love to go karoke so much, why not Choir? Told the lot of them (Dor, Uncle and Ber) that i'm a little afraid of joining choir.
Why? Well, it goes like this. My church, SFX, tends to rotate the choir member singing the responsorial palsm. I've got stage fright, especially when it's singing. Then ber shared with me how her church (IHM - She just happened to be there for my confirmation mass) doesn't have the same practice as mine. Only the better singers get to do that. Phiew. So i happily asked to join lah since she was asked by her cousin to join the Choir.
Bibi was the one who sms dor, then we guessed bibi and ber were around somewhere. They went back to eat dinner while the three of us (dor, uncle and me) headed to fisherman village for a simple celebration. Ber caught up with us a little later. We already had our dinner at dor's place cause my god-grandma cooked for us. 2 veges, 1 fish, cola-chicken and egg with long beans! Delicious! Too bad my "ku cai neng" wasn't available. Nevertheless I enjoyed the food!
Go look at the photos at my photo blog: http://auntyalbum.blogspot.com/
We were joking while waiting for my turn at the aisle of the church. Then after i was sealed with the gift of the holy spirit, we gossiped a little while waiting. Very bad right? Think Theresa ,my RCIA Catechist, would lecture us for sure if she had the chance. Suppose to keep a sacred silence for the whole time to reflect. That's what she will say lah. Maybe i can become one ah. I already know what's wrong liao haha..
Another happening thing was during the part where we sing the "Our Father". i've been so used to just raising my hands that i didn't see the need to do so lah. Then dor was like waiting and hinting me to hold her hand lah. So i reluntantly did so. Then she nudge me toward the guy on my right. Apprently the poor fellow has been offering his hand for some time and silly me didn't realise. You know what he did when i realised? He grabbed my hand. He's not shy at all lor. Haha...
Ber hor horrible leh. When she first asked me what's my next step, she said Holy Matrimony? Wah not a single available guy around me, ask about marriage a bit shocking right? then after i mentioned about the guy above hor. She asked me which church he goes to. Of cause, i don't recall. She wanted me to go to his church and 'bio' (spy on) him leh! Wah she's so naughty xia! When they asked me for his name, i also didn't remember. But now i do, think it's roger.
They ah putting ideas in my mind ah. Dor said he's very prayerful and like a nice guy lor. I said don't like cause the first time i saw him, we already had slight disagreement liao. Imagine, first time meet a stranger, chitchat only can argue leh. No good right? Both so stubborn one. Die lah. Sure argue like mad. After reflecting, i though actually he seems like hubby-material. Should be driving a car cause he comes all the way from somewhere (got baptised long ago and shifted place), always dress prim and proper, wears glasses (hee..), a loner like me (cause never seen him bring anybody before), unmarried like me (and should be available like me too - cause no gf in sight) and has proper manners.
I've already concluded with uncle the previous time we went fisherman village that we are both 'fan jian' (horrid) cause we are just not interested in those goody-two-shoes people, we want only those charismatic people who are only good as lovers not long-term partners. So in a way we're asking for the sufferings we go through. So guess why i wasn't even considering that guy was cause he's hubby-material. But then again, i think i need someone whom i don't care about. Only then i will not be so 'sticky' and care so much for him til i lose myself and eventually lose him. Also, my eyes will be wide-opened to see things clearly and not be cheated again.
Like i said, i'm not ready yet. So i leave it to God to decided if it's time for me to start or not. Hey i have the holy spirit in me now! Celebrate and pray for gifts from the holy spirit! Gift of tongue and Gift of prophecy, come to me now! :)
