golden jubilee celebration

ok i’m going to blog on this on wednesday actually (wee early morning… my usual blogging time) but since that day i’ll be blogging in bahasa malaysia (BM) for the merdeka blogger campaign, so i’ll have to blog on this today. i can blog this on merdeka day but i’ll have to use BM and this topic here would sure be difficult to blog using BM.

what will i be doing on merdeka day? i’ll be spending the whole day in the penang international sports arena (PISA) at relau, penang for our the penang diocese golden jubilee celebration (catholic church celebration).

the programme will start at 11.00am and there will be on-going activities throughout the day until 4.00pm, where we will have the eucharistic celebration, otherwise more known as mass.

i’ll have to be there at 10.30am for the briefing about the adoration prayer session since our parish (city parish) is in charge of the 3.00pm (last) slot, and i’m representing the parish. then i’ll hang around, attend some prayers, attend some activities. i have also promised to help a nun to sell some books, so probably i’ll be at her stall. then at 3.00pm i’ll have to be at the adoration room to conduct our prayer session. and after this session, all of us will get ready for the mass at the arena itself, which is estimate to end at 7.00pm.

thus it seems i’ll be at PISA from 10.30pm to 7.00pm. i hope i won’t be too tired to blog after i got home.

it was estimate that there will be around 15,000 people present. wow! that many! i hope i can snap lots of pictures and share with you all. watch out for the paper. it will sure be featured in some of the mainstream paper.
