I took pictures using my brother's camera (and he hasn't uploaded them). So I can't post many pictures now.
Anw, here's a glimpse of Church of St Francis Xavier in Kuta (Gereja St. Fransiskus Xaverius). Daily Mass starts at 6am @.@ I really want to post the photo of the interior of the Church. They have big crucifix, as usual, but the angels were dressed in Balinese style!!!

One of the days, we had dinner at Jimbaran. It's been a looooooooong time since I did jumpshot. Luckily, my mom captured the jumpshot quite well, so I asked her to take so many jumpshots!!

Back to Singapore, our flight was delayed for an hour. I reached Singapore at 00.20 and I finished bathing etc. at 2am. My mom stayed for one night in Singapore, so I asked her, "What time do you want to wake up?" She said, "7am".
WHAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT??
>.< Anyway, she did wake up at 7 am >.< I woke up at 8 plus, we went to lunch time Mass at St Joseph and my mom needed to nudge me so many times when I did my prayer cos I was falling asleep :(

Today, back to girls' club again. The girls now know that I have boyfriend, and they were quite obsessed with this fact, so they kept asking questions!!
When's Paul's birthday?
When will Paul graduate?
How many years difference between you and him? (I regret telling the girl. She kept saying, "6 years!! I can't imagine. It means when he's in Kindergarten 2, you are still a newborn!!")
When you get married, do you want to have children?
Well, one beautiful thing that I noticed is, they knew that courtship is a preparation towards marriage. Not many adults even realize that!!

Today, a Catholic friend of mine is getting married, but not in the Catholic Church. :(
I felt quite sad.. A bit hard to send a message to congratulate him. Initially he didn't realize how serious it is, thank God his relative told him around Christmas period. Please pray for him.
It's very scary because now I really see my friends one by one are getting married. We know theoretically and practically how serious it is, yet..sometimes they are not aware of the serious consequences of this choice. Furthermore, the more I deal with girls in girls' club and the more I see little kids as my research participants, the more I see how serious the impact of the formation of the parents on their children! Plus, to see your own friends whom you laugh with, or even you used to cry with, jumping into something without a proper spiritual preparation is quite difficult too. You were like wondering, "Why...oh why..how I wish I could've done more". Well, of course, I believe God will show them the way, so I must always be optimistic.
