my off day yest...so went 2 c my god-niece...hvn't seen her in a month...
how she has grown!! i bought her a dress meant for 6-9 mth old babies...but my godbro said that she's already wearing clothes meant for 12-18 mth olds...sigh...dunno whether she'll b able 2 fit in2 it....juz msged her mum 2 ask...
went hm in time 2 hv dinner with my family coz i hvn't been spending time with them...
But my dad had 2 irritate me...
coz i happened 2 tell my mum that i'll b getting confirmed on the 28th...and mum asked wat benefits will i gain after i'm confirmed...told her that i'll b a member of the church as well as the Anglican Diocese in S'pore...she nv knew i was Anglican...
So she told my dad who wantd 2 noe wat "Anglican" is in Chinese...told him i didn't noe but will find out and get back 2 him...he was like how come u dunno these things...and then went on saying smthg abt Buddhism...can't rem exactly wat he said...then i was like how the he heck wld i noe u noe! y did he automatically assume that i wld noe! i attend the English svc...y wld i noe what "Anglican" is in Chinese?!
Next he said that in some churches pple look like they're possessed when they're praying...like tiao dang u noe...like they're being possessed by some diety coz they're b crying and jumping ard...he said that sometimes they'll get so outta control that they need pple ard them 2 restrain them...i got really agitated and said that they're not possessed!! not like tiao dang!! wah lao! how can u compare being moved by the Holy Spirit 2 tiao dang??!!
He's attacking wat i believe in and i'm trying 2 defend it...
Was talking 2 P. Ian and he said that there is no need 2 defend God...He's gdness can b seen thru us and out actions...he said b gentle and try 2 c where my dad is coming frm...sigh....it's so tough!
Mum was v gd abt it tho...she's more open than dad...dad id juz trying 2 impose his own ideas on me...
That was b4 the food came....when we started eating things went back 2 normal...
