So... what was "Hip and Happening" lately in HRC?
We had a COFFEE MORNING by the Confirmation 2 students to raise fund for the play~
OK... this time, I really think that I don't need to do much of the "typing"... picture tells it all~
*this is the very first time we have a chocolate fondue machine for coffee morning!!!*
As you can see... there were really A WHOLE LOT of FOOD~
And best of all, they are CHEAP for a fund raising coffee morning!
I thought it was more like a BAZAAR FOOD SALE instead...
So.. how did the people in church "react" to it?
Haha~! Caught cha!
Yes... they are all wearing their HAPPY faces~
BRAVO to the all the students, teachers and parents that participated!
I really think they made this a HUGE SUCCESS!
Bravo Bravo~!!!

Rev Father Matthias Ki Kia Lin passed away peacefully on October 24, 2008.
May the Lord our God bless him, and may his soul rest in peace.
I kinda only remembered that I haven't updated the blog about the Feast Day... hahaha (^^")
OK, here goes!
Last Saturday was HRC's Feast Day!
To start it off... the weather wasn't really bright and shiny in the afternoon...
I went to church early just so that I could get myself a nice parking space, cause they cannot allow the cars to park like the usual Saturday and Sunday masses since procession will be going on right after mass...
So yeah, it was raining... and it was really a heavy pour when I reached there... 
Inside church, everyone was busy doing/preparing something...
We had both the Chinese and English group musicians for mass... and it was really superb!!
Tents were set up to cater for more people... this is the left side of the church, er... I don't really know if there is also a tent on the right side... ;p
Mass ended.. and so did the rain.. and procession along with the praying of the rosary took place.
Of all, these little flower girls were the ones having the BEST TIMES of their life! They were pretty much enjoying "sprinkling" everyone and everywhere with flower petals! (^^)
After that, it was DINNER TIME! *church calls it FELLOWSHIP...*
Zinc roof and tents were set up earlier in the day, and it was very much the driest place in church that day...
Each BEC prepared something special for everyone to feast on... I didn't manage to take any other picture of this scene, there were TOO MANY people and it was really over crowded! *and I was hungry too...* (^^")
In the hall, we have our very own Youth group *and specially invited Vima~* performing the entire night for the people..
We also specially invite our visiting priest *er.. I forgot his name, but I know he is from St. Ignatius Church* to go up stage and sing for us! He sang "You Raise Me Up" with powerful voice like Josh Gorban's!
Well, the Youth Ministry was called to ASSIST in the cleaning up...
But when our performers are done with performance, we realized that the place was pretty much cleaned up by everyone who stayed and helped. And so the performers had their dinner, and thank goodness they kept food for them!
Yup... this was how it looked like... All the other tables were kept aside... We had the EXCLUSIVE table all to ourselves, with Father Daniel and Aunty Elaina kept asking the performers to eat more... 
After that, all that was left was to pack and keep the instruments and... yeah... lots and lots of jumbled up cables.
Oh oh... something that really caught our attention in the hall was... 
The hall was fully deco-ed with BALLOONS this year...
We wonder WHY... hrm... *and some of them looks SCARY... and EVIL...*
That rounds up the Feast Day this year.
What's next in line?
Well, I'm not sure... I think it is about time to get ready for Christmas caroling~! Hahaha, how time FLIES!
Have a nice weekend everyone!
God bless

WHY SO STRESSED?
Ok, no need to stress anymore...the event is finally over. We hope you guys had fun, okay? Even if you didn't had any fun, you must also say you had fun...after Regina become sad.
Response for the event was better than expected! We kinda anticipated a few superstudents to fong fei kei, thankfully that was kept to a minimal.
We started the night with a game - called 'Pass the Message'. A simple game yet some people can't seem to get it right! Well, I guess it's okay to suck. Sometimes.
We divided the crowd to 2 teams...and realised we had more people than we thought. Each time had like almost 20 fellars, chances of screwing up the message was very, very high.
Team superstars such as Mathieu occasionally tried to help (cheat) the team by shouting out the message that he heard. Well, obviously with the background music playing and everyone talking so loudly...this would surely add to the confusion. Oops?
One of the messages for Team 1 was:
We are the Youth Ministry of the Church of the Holy Rosary. We are having an event called WHY SO STRESSED and we are happy to be here. Right...
But we get back our response, which was:
We are the Youth of HRC bla bla bla. Something something and why are we so stressed today? We are having fun here.
Sometimes we can't help but to give them 'The Stare'. So young already memory so cha meh? Nevermind, Regina provides counseling services on how to tackle this memory problem. So you know who to find, yes?
Then came the food!
Everybody loves food. But some complained that it was like jail...must line up and all that. I personally felt that the food was just mediocre. The bun and spagetthi were cold and almost like rock solid! Still, alot of people stated on the feedback form that the food was great, excellent, bla bla...
Okay lah, if it really is that nice, then good for you all! But there were so much food left that alot of it had to be given away to the Myanmar refugees - which wasn't entirely a bad thing. We fed the poor and hungry!
Now can anyone please tell me what this is? Apparently it wasn't really popular among the crowd as it had the most leftovers. I'm guessing its some kinda kickass funky potato? I didn't dare to try...(my excuse was because I am still sick). What's yours?
Praise and worship was great! The new musicians which we roped in showed promising signs of progress. We even had fun doing the 'na na na na...hey!' song, where everyone tried to smash each other on their left and on their right. With a little bit more practice, I think the band can perform at Dataran Merdeka in no time! (dunno if got people turn up or not la..)
This is our guest speaker, Mr. Franklin Morais!
He seemed to loved the Edison chap, because Edison stood out like a thorn among the roses! Or was it the other way around? Some jokes were rather funny but I thought it might be a little deep for some kids below 14. I noticed them wandering away to happyland where they were busy yapping away and contenging their papers. Sorry la kids.
Mr. Franklin: Alright, now who can smell this and tell me what flavour it is??
Crowd: Onions!
Msgr. Daniel Lim had to intervene to give a private 1 on 1 counseling session. Hey, not everyone can get this special treatment okay?
Okay, so it was all made up in good fun. We all had fun, yes??
(birds chirping)
Come on! Well, I'm just going to assume everyone had fun because I read most of your feedback forms and it was very good. Too good, in fact. Nobody lied right? God is watching yea...
And the final blessing by Msgr. Daniel to everyone who were going for their final exams. Good luck and thank you for coming!
