We had our ROE yesterday afternoon at St Joseph's Upper Bt Timah. it was so damn far that church, next to Assumption Eng School... as expected. we got there late, my godmother as well, so we had to squeeze into the pews with some kids who ended up having no seats... oops! sorry!!
so anyways, the rite was fairly short, at least shorter than i had expected. there was this mini procession of flags (gosh, didn't know that we had an RCIA flag?!?) and presentation of a book that contained the names of elects and candidates (later found out that candidates are ppl from previous journeys who didn't get baptised, why the difference in names? i dunno...). archbishop chia was there with his staff and hat. his hat had two tails! and all the priests were there. the north and western churches were all there and holy spirt church had the largest number of elects and candidates, bout 80+ of them. we had 50+. not far behind. we didn't have a uniform (thank God) that would have been too cheesy. not sure what i would do with the shirt after baptism anyway.
so after that, we went to in-laws house to watch LOTR. we should buy the DVDs. maybe when we go to US, we should purchse from there. more features i'd expect. must go amazon it out.
