Went through my rites of acceptance today at OLPS to become a catechumen...know what that is??Dunnoe?Go check it out in the dictionary people...the 1st part of the rites is for Father to call each and every one of us individually during the mass..I felt so touched when Father Luke called my name out loud during the mass to welcome me into the church...wow...it's not everyday you can have Father call your name out loud during the mass ya...can you imagine...everybody's sitting there looking at you...Then my sponser did the signing for me...it's not the signing of the book okie??...it's the signing of my senses with the cross...forehead, eyes, ears, mouth, shoulders, hands and the feet...yes, the feet...my sponser have to kneel down and touch my feet for the signing...touching rite? i mean, who the hell would do that...prob you wun even want to touch your own feet cause you know how dirty they are....then i was given the cross and a bible to carry it throughout my journey with the Lord...gosh...the whole atmosphere's just amazing...really emotional...when you hear the whole church clap for you after the rite, you'll be so touched..trust me..today's a really special and significant day for me...
Met Luciana's fiance today...okay...quite an ordinary guy but she's completely fallen head over heels over him....she's so much in love..oh my god!...she will never let him wait for her, she can't bear to fly over to him straight after the mass, and always so accomodating to him..her motto: "i'll go wherever he goes.." oh my goodness..she's so sweet rite??they're getting married this sept and she'll follow him back to Indo...i'll miss her...i really hope that she has made the right decision...it's really too much a gamble and risk for her...i cannot imagine what'll happen if her marriage does not work out....she'll be all alone in Indo...God, pls bless her happiness...
Had a talk with Imel...and i realised Love is such an amazing thing...Luciana's so crazy for her husband, while Imel's troubled about her "relationship" as well...the reason why i put it in inverted commas is because i'm not sure if it's a relationship after all...Okie, seems like she and this guy seems to think quite well of each other and there're sparks going on...but the sparks are dying off because none of them are doing anything about it...Imel wants to take it slowly (which i told her it's too slow already) while the guy's busy craving a career for himself and not very initiative when it comes to relationships ...that's why she wants to intro him to me...C'mon Imel, you think i'll take just anyone isit??Besides, you obviously still have a thing for him...so if you intro him to me, then if we happen to like each other and become a couple, won't you feel broken-hearted and realised you should not intro him to me in the 1st place??I've seen his photo...he's okie...kinda cute...but that's about all...i mean, to me, he's just an ordinary guy....but to her, he's someone special...so Imel, go for it!!!!!Go for the guy if you really like him..
Prayer: "Thank you Lord for inviting me to you House to listen to your Word...thank you for making the Rites of Acceptance possible today...all the sponsers and enquirers have worked hard to make these possible, but definitely not without your guidance...Being catechumens from today onwards, please shine your light and guide all of us to follow your Way and persevere in it...I ask this in the name of your son, Jesus Christ, Amen. In the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

It's been a long time since i update my blog...sorry diary for neglecting you...it's just that i've been too tired to do anything after work...Worklife's hell for me the 1st week(Okie, at least for the 1st 2 days)....Hell in the sense that i've to work doubly hard to keep up with my boss's pace, learnt everything in 2 days, work 10 hrs straight with a brief "lunch" break at perhaps 3pm...
My workplace and the people in it are just wierd..or am i the wierd one??Hmm...my colleagues dun eat lunch..so does my boss and my big boss...my boss stays in Orchard but she eat bread and instant noodles for lunch..how's that?...poor me have to lunch by myself everyday...something i die die also will not do when i'm in sch...but it beats staying in the lab for the whole day..i like to go out and take a walk and breathe fresh air...Okie, the working environment's really individualistic..Everybody's doing different things so you just have to mind your own business and do your own work..my 2 bosses already made it clear to me from Day 1 that they're the type A people, goal and result-oriented..so they say there's no fixed time for me to leave the office, as long as i get all my work done...well..so far i've managed to clear all my stuff before i go back(and that's like 1900)...but work's piling up real fast..
On the 2nd day of work, i was late for 15mins (i reached the office at 0915)..so my boss gave me a warning..."K, aren't you a little bit late?please come early tomorrow, latest by 9am...and make sure you're always earlier than M (my big boss).." (ever since then, the min i reach the office, she'll take a look at her watch to check what time i arrive...but from that day onwards, i always reach the office at around 0845..i'll not give her another chance to tick me off for lateness for the 2nd time).. then on the same day, she quizzed me about the neurology of the brain and the different functions.."K, draw the Braddley & Hitch memory model for me.."...Oh my goodness..i dun know the answer as i've thrown all of them back to Prof Liow already...how??At the moment, i really wish that i can bury my head deep under the ground..anyway, she continued to drill me about other things lah..just wun let me off...i felt really stupid in front of her..
Hence when i can finally retire for the day, i sent an sms to some of my friends...and all of them called me back...think i really sounded too stressed up over the sms and they're really worried for me...Thank you CH & PW...really...never expected my uni friends to shown their concern for me after school life...guess i'm the petty one here...Anyway, i've managed to complete my 1st week of work at the lab...and i'm really hoping that things will be better after the long weekend...I'm definitely going to upgrade myself...will go get more books to read...i'll never embarrass myself in front of my boss again..never!
oh, btw, there's this really cute medical student on attachment at the lab..his name's Mark...pretty cute...at least something to look forward in the office..hehe...
