Oh yeah! After about 45 minutes of hopeful editing, my blog is now as it is.(The long time is due to my little experience =)) I am pretty proud of myself, as I never thought I had it in my power to do this. I can honestly say I am satisfied=)
Anyways, i would like to talk about the Acies last week! Yes, pretty late, but due to certain house rules... my blogging has been restricted to weekends. Or perhaps during Music lesson in school.
At
10:00AM on the 25th of March, I woke up. Being so early, I was dreadfully tired. To add to my troubles, my cough had not gotten any better. Freakin germs. I was amazed I could actually stand being awake so early. I got dressed,
after bathing of course.
Forgot what I did and suddenly, it was 11 o clock! Tadah! Anyways, Mark came over to my house, and we chatted a while(boring chat though. It's MARK we're talking about here) till about 11.20am. Then I asked Mark to call Ben, as I was taking my medication, or for those vocabulary declined, medicine. We agreed to meet at Kembangan MRT at 11.30
sharp.
After a walk, Mark and I reached Kembangan and we waited for Ben. I took a look at a few... paper thingies, leaflets or brochures, I am unsure. Suddenly, Ben appeared behind me, wearing a red Bossini T-Shirt.
DOHDOHDOHDOHDOHDOHDOH!!!!!The Legion's colour is red. Oh well. We waited for the train, got on, boring story.
We arrived 1 hour early and decided to have Macs. I had the Chicken Fan-tastic whereas Mark and Ben had the Beef counterparts. Ben hated it and immediately began cursing the burger quality once we left. He decided to have another Zinger to go, as he was still hungry.
We went back to the MRT station, Yishun, and I bought a couple bottles of water. 35cents for one. What a bargain! Either that, or I have been scammed throughout my entire life.
I'll skip some parts here...................................
(about 10 mins worth of life later)
We arrived at Our Lady Star of the Sea church. It looked kinda old on the outside, and it was
supposed to look like a ship. Whatever happened to that? We stepped in and made our way up to... some room. With air con. We breathed a sigh of relief.
After all of us, Ben, Mark, Low, Dannel, Solo, Steven and I(perhaps I missed out some) realised that we were late for Curia and they were already saying the Rosary, we scurried quickly to any seats we could find.
We had a usual Curia meeting, followed by a 30 min break, then Acies.
Where we had our Acies was quite small, and it didn't really seem like a place to celebrate mass, but there
was an altar and tabernacle so it had to do.
I sat down for a while, and suddenly, BRYAN POPPED UP out of nowhere. We changed seats many many times, and we finally found an appropriate seat.
Before the mass started, guess what? Another Rosary. Can't complain. It is an Acies after all. Although twice a day kinda hurt my mind a little. A hundred Hail Marys. A bit to much for me to handle. We had mass followed by the renewal of vows!
We had to queue up, and, in pairs say " I am all yours, my Queen, my Mother, and all that I have is yours"with one hand on the... Vexillium, I believe it's spelt. I switched to the girls' side to hopefully pair up with one of my friends. A bold decision, I must admit, but to no avail. We were not consistent so I switched back.
The Vexillium looks like the thing in the picture at the top.
I would love to say more, but it seems real long so I shall end your suffering and stop.......................................here.
