I'm just SOoooooo EXCITED!!! I got baptised last night at the church in Tai Po.  The ceremony started at 8:30pm, but we must arrived at 7...so there we were~Hailie, Cynthia and I dressed all in white(OMG~we look so PRETTY!!!)and waited nervously.  Lots of people congratulated us warmly and I was really happy.  Finally it was 8:30 and the church was full of people~some even had to sat outside in the courtyard and some in the basement!!! Since it was the important Easter ceremony...that's why thousands of people came.  Mom and dad sat in the basement...but mom was really happy about me getting baptised! I saw some familiar faces throughout the ceremony, most are from VC, which was lovely, cuz it felt like everyone had come to celebrate our important day~the baptism!

  At first, when the ceremony started, all the lights were turned OFF!!! The whole church was DARK and I could see nothing! Then, the candles were lit, all the Catholics got a candle and slowly one by one, the candle were all light up...he scene was great, and ...just imagine how it looks when everywhere is dark but there were thousands of lighting candles!!! It was Awesome!!!

  Then it was finally the baptism...I lean forward near the "pool" and Father poured a lot of water to my head with a beautiful white shell container...saying.."Denise, in the name of FATHER(poured some water), the SON(poured again), and of the HOLY SPIRIT(poured once more)...you are......." something like that...I was nervous but excited at the same time...thousands of cameras shooting at me and ...that was it..I was baptised.

  The next  part was getting our new WHITE coat from the priest.  We lined up and took them one by one.  Then we put them on so to represent that we are re-born.  Afterward, was the lighting candles part.  We light up our white candle and brought them along as the Priest use oil to draw a cross on our foreheads.  Then went back to our seat and here comes the most nervous moment of all~Me leading a little prayer.  Lucky that I practised a lot...I actually did quite GOOD!!! Even mom said it was good! I remembered that I was so scared I didn't dare to look at the people...I just stare at my piece of paper and read...with the steady-est voice I can make...phew..finally done!

  Now came the moment where I was really touched...having those...um...I'm not sure what it's called in English but it's a little piece of bread(???)and it represents the body of Jesus.  The Priest gave us one each then we dip them into the wine and eat them(without chewing~it melt of course...)The wine tasted a bit bitter...though.  I almost cry when I ate that...cuz I know~HE was in my body~I ate HIM...and there HE stays in my body...I'm WITH HIM...I can FEEL it.  I knelt to pray when I got back to my seat...sat back down afterwards.  Looking at Hailie, I know we felt the same~the Love form God.

  The ceremony ended at about 11pm.  Then we had to take photos and photos and lots of photos.  Felt like a star because there were hundrads of cameras in front of us that I don't know which one I should look at...Anyway, then we went down to the party~grab a drink and went on taking photos AGAIN!!! Here are the photos~have a look.

The flowers are from my babysiter's daughter, and the photo on the right are things given from church and that little Vergin Mary figure is from my teacher!

  I arrived home at around 12 last night, and slept at about 1am!!! That's so late..but I'm so excited !!!! There will be more pictures, some are at Hailie's so I'll post them here later. 

  Went to a movie today with Florence and her little sister...we watched Ice Age 2!!! It was so funny and I laughed all way through(it's LAUGHING, not SMILING...).  We had a great time and I'm now just back from our little trip.  It's so much fun and I'm looking forward to our next little trip...maybe to somewhere else and do something else....and next time hope that Sandra and Hailie can come along as well, that way it will be even more excited!

  So, tomorrow I'm getting baptised...becoming a Catholic...I'm now busy boiling 20 eggs for the big ceremony.  Each one of us need to boil 20 eggs then wrap them with pretty paper...then we'll give them to the people tomorrow as a gift.  Now the eggs are waiting for me to wrap them up...I'm gonna make them look pretty, and so the people who recieve the eggs tomorrow will feel really sweet and happy! And I'm dressing all in white too!!! I wanna look like a Snow-drop...although it's summer...being a snow-drop is definately pretty~(day-dreaming...)...

  And Stephanie caught a cold...I hope she'll get better soon.  Drink plenty of water and make sure you get enough rest, ok, Steph? I'll pray for you.  Get well soon!

  By the time I woke up this morning, my stomach started to hurt...I think it's because ~last night was quite windy but I kicked off my blanket! So maybe that's why I'mm feeling not so good....but I'm now MUCH better~cuz my stomch doesn't hurt anymore!!!

  Well, found something lovely today!!! I just can't stop myself from looking at it...or maybe Staring at it! Oh...this is so sweet!!! It looks so GREAT and COOL!!! OMG....I'm already day-dreaming about it!!! The story happened in the corridor at school...it's just so sweet that it's driving my attention away when I'm doing my Math homework!!! That LOOK is awesome....I'm gonna faint!!! OMG!!! (Calm down...breathe in~breathe out....)

  Oh~I wish what I dreamed can really happen...the...um...Got-Shot-Thing..Florence~know what I mean? And oh...when doing that action...the eye must...wink....yea...that's totally sweet!

  And...mom's friend is getting married in the coming October...I really want to go too! Cuz mom's friend's husband is a Singaporean and so their wedding is going to be hold in Singapore!!! I want to take a few day-offs at school and go with mom!!! If I can go there, I can meet Deborah~we haven't seen each other for like....5 years(since I left XIS...)! And that's a LONG time!!! I miss her so much and can't wait to meet her.  (Praying....please...bring me along Mom!!!)

  I am actually doing nothing today...just did a bit of homework then need to learn Pi Pa in the afternoon.  After Pi Pa lesson in Sha Tin, I went straight to the McDonald's in Tai Po.  Cuz there's a Math tutorial class held by Max and Vick.  Gill was already there for a long time (I think...) I joined them at around 4:15pm...then there were lots of maths to do...phew~it took me around half an hour...or more...to finally understand the Ratio thing! There was a few moment when I realized how stupid I am(why am I taking so LONG to understand such an easy RATIO thing!!!) Totally dissapointed with myself...sigh....Oh~but there is a thing that madde me REALLY happy!!! I just can't stop smiling!!! And right after the tutorial class~I can't wait calling Florence to tell her about it! WEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

 I found some really pretty icons!!! They are PRETTY!!! I just love all these pretty little stuff!!! Hope you'll like them too!

  I spent my WHOLE ENTIRE DAY at Florence's!!! We actually planned to meet at KCR station at 10am, but then I forgot to wake up!!! Luckily Florence called at around 9:30 to wake me up and then I dressed myself and had breakfast as quick as possible within half an hour and then rushed out.  And so I finally got there at around a quater to 11...Florence was waiting and we went right to her home.  We spent most of the time watching videos clips and music videos of 183 Club~(which is the singers we both like a lot recently~because of that TV series..."Prince turning into a Frog"-thing...~the main actor is SO HANDSOME!!!) So it was definately a LOT of fun!!! Then after lunch, we continued our videos and stuff and...oh~we actually planned to do our homework together but turned out that we did NOTHING! None of us felt like doing them...so...we just chat 'round and yea...do those Girl-Talks! It's nice to talk to Florence because I can tell her everything...all my little thoughts that others may think they're silly but at least Florence is willing tio listen.  Felt So relaxed!!! At around 5, we went for tea and then I went home.  Nice to spend a day at one of my best friend's...it's just Great!!!
