Long week!
Thursday- Maundy Thursday
Lectors went church visiting!
We went to Holy family, St Joseph's.
Good shepherd and finally St Teresa.
I LOVE church visitings!
Every sentence that came out from me
ended off with a 'whoa'. haha!
We did praise and worship on the bus,
readings and prayers. Wynee, Trudy,
Anne Marie and I sang
"shout to the Lord"
and "You're my all in all".
We reached back church at 11.30pm.
There were still people at the
adoration at chij oln.
All of us caught up at the bus stop
and Wynee and I were dreading
the passion play the next day.
Nathaniel asked." Are you the weeping
woman? Mary Madalene? Mother of
Jesus" I said," ya.."
LOL
He cracked up a little and then Gregory
was very assuring. He said," All Mary did
was believe. Her faith made her special.
She simply believed in God"
Right there and then, luckily I was quick
to give the goodbye hugs if not I would
have wasted a few tears!
Good Friday
It was one tiring day. At 7.17am, got a call
from Wynee. I was like half dead because
I was still on bed then I realised something.
We're supposed to be in church by 7.30am!
GG!
I jumped out from under the covers and rushed
like anything. I sprinted out of the house and
ran to church. Thank you Wynee for your
wakeup call in a way(:
Well, I was flushed and saw Gwyn (starring as
Jesus by the way) walking towards Wynee and I.
He also just come! (7.40) -.-
I went to Mummy's to draw strength. I touched her
hand and looked at her. I knew she would be
there to show the congregation through me
how she would have felt 2000 years ago.
We had one last rehearsal and I tell you, this
last rehearsal was crucial yet it was kind of like
a comedy. LOL
It's so funny. Due to the time constraint, we
had to make do with a fast forward. The guys were
walking up the aisle while carrying the cross in
such a speed. Here's the thing. When Gwyn 'died'
on the cross, I asked Reena, "No need to cry now la
hor "yea". Somehow, the music was played too fast,
and it wasn't on cue for the next track. So, Gwyn
lifted his head up. hahaha, everyone laughed!
oh, the part where they carried him down,
Moses and Bruce placed him too far, at the
incorrect position la. Then I asked him "Why
are you lying like that?" He opened his eyes and
said don't know. Then he started shifting! LOL
I was laughing so hard. hahaha
Around 9.20, we started putting on make up for
Gwyn. We squeezed those bottled vam blood
on his 'wounds' (strips of marooned paper)
and used red and maroon eye shadow on him.
My fingers were all red by the time it's almost
done and then Cornelius asked me to wash up
and get my costume on already. I was kinda
nervous and Susanna said something nice too
"You can do it" Everytime Clare says
something, I just feel like crying. She asked me
whether I wanted her to pray for me together.
I said sure. Susanna, Germaine, Clare and I
held hands and Clare led. I cried already.
I told Reena that I wasted 4 tears, haha.
Clare told me to let go, those 2 words were
very in depth for me. She acted as Mother
Mary too, 2 years ago. Father Luke Fong
came in and blessed us and told us
to take this play as a prayer and not just
acting. I did that, and I guess our play
succeeded. I had no idea I would cry like
I did. I think Reena got a little shocked and
she held me. Thanks Mummy!
I ran off after that to Kovan for Geograhy
Project at Grace's house. Oh, her rabbit's
adorable! The butt. lol
Easter Vigil
Didn't feel lent or holy week this year. I don't
know why.
Easter
MY REDEEMER LIVES!
Today
Mr Glenn Chew said to me during RE "you really
look like a nun. I should call you sister Jelena."
Then I stared at hin. He covered his face and
said," oh no, sister's staring." LOL foolarious
He told me that I looked like a nun thrice
already this year.
Marathons.
Lord, when will all these come to an end?
