tdy`s the big day! I`m baptised already! on Easter Sunday (: haa. i`ll nv forget tdy 16th April (: haa. me and yuexing were so nervous la. that at the back stage we kept doing silly stuff. yuexing was like
dancing?? and i`m like trying to strangle her to stop her. and Wu Shimu and the aunties that are helping out at the back are laughing at us la. but we`re like really nervous and excited la. haa :D
then soon it was our turn. yuexing was before me. and den it was my turn. the moment i started walking down the stairs. my mind was blank already. then i just stood there. then when i looked up. whoa. so many pple la. then i kept staring at the microphone. haa. and then after Mu Shi asked the qns and i said in chinese "wo yuan yi" and then i got baptised!! (: haa. and water went into my nose. hehe :P
den me and yuexing hurriedly went to the first flr toilet to wash up. haa. i think we took quite long la heh :P after service. we had photo talking session. and there were like so many cameras. so all of us were like smiling continously for a long time. untill our mouths were tired. den after that we took photos and many of them came to congratulate us. and soon i was hurrying of for lunch with my relatives.
i`m very touched by my parents la. cos to like celebrate my baptism, we went to a chinese restauraunt at keppel club. and we booked 3 tables for my relatives and my family. and then we had this 6-course lunch which was very good. though not all my relatives turned up at church for my baptism, but most of those who cld make it came. those who cld not come was becos they were on a short hol on cruise. but they managed to come to the restauraunt and they`re like " esther, congratulations", shaking my hands, hugging me and all. i`m really really blessed to be so loved by my parents and relatives. tdy is indeed a very memorable day for me. haa (:
i`m like wanting to smile and cry. i want to smile cos i`m really happy that i got baptised and my relatives , of which most of them aren`t christians yet, are able to come and witness my baptism and i really hope that thro this they will gradually come to know more abt the Lord, and then eventually come to believe in Him. and i want to cry is becos i really feel very very touched by the love showered upon me by my parents and relatives (: and of cos not forgetting my brothersand sisters in christ. for your congratulations and presents and hugs and handshakes and words of encouragement. thank you all (:
and of cos, the utmost thanks wld be to God, my Saviour. i wld not have come thus far without Him. for it is Him who is always there for me and guiding me thro all the ups and downs of these 17 years of my life and counting (: Thank You so much, Father.
