Hiya.. i'm going for LC tomorrow.. but i a bit sad now.. i just went for my sec 4 form teacher's husband's funeral. He died in a sailing accident or some sort.. He is only like 40 +++.. so young.. and they have 3 sons...
I attended the funeral mass, standing up.. cause the area was kinda small and there were a lot of people.. I managed to meet her after the mass, in the midst of a lot of ex- and current students, relatives, friends..
She remembered me.. great :) She was smiling.. weakly though.. actually didn't feel like crying... but when she initiated to hug me.. i teared a bit.. :(
She is one of the few.. very few.. very very few teachers i am grateful to.. haha.. i think one of those teachers that scold me and i willingly accept one.. haha.. coming from a lousy class, it's not difficult to tell which teacher really bothers about the students..
it's kinda sad to see her in this situation..
It's the 1st catholic funeral i attend.. and i tot it's kinda ritual.. Prayers are said systematically - priest say something, people answers in unison, and some hymms sung. There wasn't testimonies or personal stories shared (perhaps it's just that one mass i attended).. i tot the priest sounded robotic..
**************************************************************************
just reminded me of the masses i attended in school.. i never remember anything that was said in the mass.. there were 'sermon' times too, but i never knew that it was 'sermon' time.. i just tot the priest had to say some script for about 15 mins? No offence.. but i really didn't know.. i first found out when i was sec 4, when i heard the priest reading a passage about apostle paul.. (how i know about paul.. haha.. due to shepherding, cg, ss..).
i attended mass since pri 1 - sec 4.. can you imagine?! 10 years of mass.. nothing impactful.. I don't even know what communion is about, though is was a ritual every mass.. hey.. it's kinda sad that 10 years attending masses and i dunno anything about it..
Wait.. there's 1 mass that i remember full well.. the one that my class IC.. we sang praise song (for closing) and dance on stage..i think some traditional catholics were angry but.. hehe.. as usual.. my class don't care..

Wah.. i saw my disciplinary mistress la.. *blood boil*.. I'm taller than her.. ee yer.. spoil my day..
I saw my VP too, went to say hihi.. then she replied "don't wander too far, always know where home is, (then she recite the school's address)".. haha.. hmm..
