Felicia's 1st Performance - at Children's Mass

Dear All

Today (Sunday, 3 Aug 08) was Felicia's 1st Choir Performance at the 11am children's Mass at Holy Trinity Church.

She was required to be in the chapel at 10am, so we decided to go for the 9.30am Mass instead of the usual 11am one. So EVERYONE had to wake up early on a beautiful, lazy Sunday morning because of Felicia. We normally fetch my mum to church as she's getting on with age and her legs are weak. So instead of fetching her at 10:30am, we went to fetch her at 9am. Bert of super efficient and fast taxi driver today. As I was not feeling well, he fetched the girls and my mum down. Then during mass, he brought Feli to the chapel at 10am. After mass, he fetched mum home, got our letters from her place, and ta-bao lunch and fetched Tiff home. He was off again at 11:30 (touch and go) to church. Mass ends at 12noon, so in between, he did my NTUC shopping for me. He waited for Feli since 12noon, and she came out at 12:10pm, bubbling with excitement.

She looked so angelic today, in a long white dress and hair tied at the sides in white. Even the nun sitting in the pew next to her at mass smiled at her. Tiff said it was not fair that the nun smiled at Feli and not her. I guess it's always the littlest one that seems the cutest, ya?

Her classmate saw her and waved at her, so she waved back. Kinda cute ya?

Makes Bert and I think about what can we do for our church. We prefer one-off, ad-hoc kind of service as we don't quite to like to "socialise" too much. It's kinda of nice that Feli wants to participate in the church's choir. She doesn't mind she's not chosen for cantering, as that means having to sing solo. So I'm glad everyone's happy.

Love Theresa
