Confirmation!

Today was my sisters confirmation ceremony! Ask the catholic boys and confirmation means girls galore in church! I was not really interested la but still yea their were quite a number of hot girls around church.

So anyway, for those of you who do not already know, confirmation is a ceremony celebrated by roman catholic teenagers aged 15-16. It is when the church and arch bishop feel you are ready to be a "confirmed" catholic, it is also the graduation ceremony from 15-16 long years of Cathechism class or religious class as most of you know it. Also, for this event you will have to choose a confirmation name, prefably a saints name which will be your confirmation name. Mine was Anthony, after my grandfather and my favourite school, Saint Anthonys Canossian Secondary=)

So yea, my sister was all dolled up in her white gown and ready to leave the house at 2pm the ceremony would be starting at 3pm, so i as usual just got ready to go bathe at 2pm. I mean Holy Trinity Church is in Tampines and we live in Tampines, do the math, we do not need an hour to get there. But apparently my parents and sister failed math, cause they said they had to leave first and i will have to meet them there later. WTF?!?

So i reached there at 3pm, my family and relatives were there. As i predicted, the event did not commence till 3.30pm. Like idiots the whole congregation was sitting and just waiting......

So at 3.30pm it began with normal mass but celebrated by the Arch Bishop of singapore. Then the confirmation itself began. Basically, your named it called and one by one the confirmands go up and the bishop will say: "emily(my sister's confirmation name) you have been confirmed by the power of the holy spirit and I bless you in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit" he then will anoint you with a special chrism. Thats it!

So yea the whole thing ended at about 6pm and everyone went for dinner. Of all the wonderful places to have dinner, my sister chose cafe cartel! WTF?!? but ok, it was her day, so yea i have no say. Reservations were made prior to this day and it was fun la, practically the whole of cafe cartel was my family man! It was cool la, we talking across tables and my dad as usual kidding around and doing his nonsense. Thats where I get all my nonsense from la, like father like son=)

Overall an enjoyable day, also saw into few old SAC fellas i havent seen in ages, Vanessa, Laura, Dominique. Oh, saw Leeza also.

Guess this will be the last confirmation i attend till Eva gabriella Pinto's confirmation in the future. Thats the name of my future daughter by the way=)

Stay tuned, get warped!
