-Holidaying in Italy!-
Went to Italy from the 11th-24th. It was great minus all the travelling time! Hahahaha...Visited places and cities like the Vatican, Florence, Rome and of course ancient Venice! Visiting the Vatican was really an eye opener for me! St. Peter's Basillica was just amazing! The interior of the basillica was just eye-catching. My eyes literally sparkled man! Paintings by Michaelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci and so on, large mosaics and beautiful frescos were all there inside the basillica. And there was so much gold used too in the building of the basillica. It was just a fantastic experience for me that really need no further explanation and description. The Cathedrals and Basillica in Rome are just so beautiful and amazing, the only sad thing is that this catholic country can hardly fill those basillicas full with church-goers on Sundays! What a shame! Attended the Latin Mass there too! It was relatively simple to follow with words like "in nomine patris","in excelsis deo", "agnus dei","spirito sancti", and "pax vobiscum" all in my Latin dictionary already. Florence was also great with numerous shopping outings and sightseeing. Ancient Venice was even better! Seeing those gondolas, waterbuses and those small narrow waterways really made me so excited! The only bad thing is that whatever you do, you must always take a boat ride to get from one place to another! Just damn troublesome! Hahahaha
-The Christmas Week!-
This year's Christmas was the best I ever had! I swear man! Started off by serving X'mas Midnight Mass with the servers! Everything went ultra well and mass was really good too! Crowds were back to their best too! Christmas Day, went to serve the morning mass, was the thurifer and all went well. Then went to Grandma's place as per normal for our family gathering. Had my Christmas Party on the 27th at my house and boy did it rock big time! So many people came to my house, mostly close and good friends as well as Fr. Chris and Fr. Iggy! Thanks to everyone out there for coming and making the party extra special just by being there! On the 28th, went to Joshua's house for his X'mas gathering and I slept over as I was super lazy to go home! Hahahaha! The Servers' Investiture was held on the 29th and boy was it equally good. It was really one of the grandest masses I have ever served in my 10 years! 70 servers from our society plus another 30 visitor servers gracing the event which brought about 100 servers together! Doubled up by Fr. Iggy and Fr. Chris celebrating the mass! 30th was the church's FeastDay and Archbishop came down to grace the event. Mass was smooth and good but the buffet dinner that followed up was awfully bad! In the end, my family left and went out to eat instead! Hahaha..Fr. Chris and Iggy too left for Parkway! Can you believe that! Hahaha..stop having those buffets and have a sit down dinner instead man! Sheesh!(:
-The New Year!-
Celebrated the New Year at home, didnt go to Joshua's house to join the rest of the gang in their countdown as I had a slight headache. Instead, was on the phone with my dearest 'jie meihzxzxz' Sam! In the morning of 1st Jan 08, went out with Jasni to study as my exams are coming up real soon! 3 more weeks till school closes! Oh Yeah! hahaha...then went to play football with the gang in the afternoon! Hahahahaha!
Ok, penned down all that I want to talk about and all that I can think of. So till next time, Au revoir!
