Wat a feast day yesterday! I had never imagined that so many pets would be there at the pets blessing. At first there were a registration of 30 then it swell up to almost 50! Tortoise, rabbit, parrots, hamsters, guinea pigs, cat and dogs. I had to tell the cat owner to move her pet away from the dogs just in case the dogs get too excited. Lol. Archbishop was fast in his blessing too. Within 5 minutes, it was all over. Many months of preparations falls down to 5 minutes of blessing.
Over the weekend, Mrs Lee Kuan Yew passed away. 90 years in the making and forever in mourning by a nation and the family. Sometimes, don't we all wish that our lives would end that way, instead of just a few months of mourning and that's it? Our condolences to the Lee family for a loving mother and a beautiful wife lost.
Back to the pets blessings... All in all, it was an exciting event by itself... something that you can see here in Straits Times itself. Check it out here!

We are starting a testimonial project where the youths and young adults can express their struggles, pains and joys while being in love with Jesus. The aim is to gather all these testimonials into a BOOK! When people read it, they go "Ah! So I'm not the only guy with this problem!" We are aiming to publish this book by the end of this year.
