Churches hate me | Friday, December 23, 2005


Bah! Today was quite unlucky.

In the morning at 1015, I received a message telling me to go Sentosa. Since my date was on the evening, I rushed down to Sentosa to do my IS project -Rashid was supposed to inform me that we are doing it TODAY-.

Oh great, and it started raining. So, I took off my shirt and walked all the way down to Emerald -after some troubles with direction-.

It ended at 2.30pm, and while I was waiting for my food, Elaine called.(Starting to dread receiving calls, most of them are bad news.) She couldn't make it at 5'0 clock.

BLOOD AND ASHES, I GOT CLOSE TO FOUR HOURS TO BURN!

I went to Heart of God church, thinking I could rest and spend some quiet time reading the bible. Fat hope! Step in at the wrong time, zone C were having their chirstmas celebration. Lights were switched off, no tables and chairs, whole place was crowded.

Behind HOGC, there is a catholic church known as Sacred Heart. This is the product of boredom.


(This is the back view.)

Sacred heart is one of the smallest church I ever seen, and it was dead quiet. I won't be surprised if the cemeteries made more din than that church. I didn't see any priests or whatsoever.


(This picture is taken near the entrance to the church.)

The main gate was locked, but somehow I found a way in. It was very dark and humid inside. The air was stale. I sat down and spend some quiet time with Him, followed up with reading a book and finally decided to go to sleep instead. It was freaking hot and I was sweating like erm...-what sweats a lot?-. God answered my plea with a cooling breeze.

After the breeze stopped, Clement became restless again and explored the church. Opened the gigantic bible, upset the notes and procedures that were used, check out the cabinets, place my hands on the ming vase, look at what they stored behind the altar, sat on the priest's chair and act as if i conducted a mass.


(Sacred Heart got a nice altar.)


(This is what they store behind the 'cabinet'. Maybe, they use it to baptize people, but definitely not for cooking purposes.)


(Imagine Clement in white robes celebrating the eucharist. This is the view of a priest.)

Now you know why churches doesn't like ladies to wear mini-skirt and spaghetti strap?
Oh come on, those priests are suppose to remain celibate! It's not like they have vasectomy or something. They are still men ok!

By the way, the chair which the father sits on...is quite uncomfortable.

After I left the church, peace descended into my heart for some unknown reason. Maybe, it is God's way of telling me, "Thanks for visiting." I killed the rest of my time, reading the bible at some deserted staircase.

If you enjoyed this post, maybe you should go and tag my board to thank Elaine.
