I went to church in the morning, all prepared for the worship session as I was supposed to sing backup with Keith and Caroline, for Wendy. When I arrived there, I found out that the baptism is the 1st item followed by the worship session. My ex-boyfriend, Eric Cham, was supposed to get baptised today but I didn't know he chickened out at the last minute till Pastor Peter Wong announced that only 2 candidates were getting baptised instead of 3. The other 2 candidates, Rachel and Benedict, were already there so obviously Pastor was referring to Eric. I was shocked and I didn't know how to react.
Eric and I broke up on good terms (sorta) and I thought he would lemme know beforehand, but he didn't even tell me about it. In a way, he humiliated me as ppl started wondering and asking ME where he was and why he chickened out. I didn't know how to respond... and my Mom was angry that I didn't tell her. I tried to explain that I was just as shocked as they were, but instead, I burst into tears... right before the worship session. My aunties (Cathy & Theresa) and my cousins (Jessica & Nicole) hugged me and comforted me but that made me wanna cry even more so I tried to calm myself down in the toilet. When I finally managed to regain my composure, the worship had already begun and I had to run onstage like a fool... =/
During the worship, we sang happy Christmas carols but I hardly smiled as I was on the verge of tears. Right after the worship, I went to the loo again and cried. Bridget came in to check on me and we talked inside the toilet for a while. Not long after that, Jaime and Stephanie came in and tried to calm me down. After telling them what happened, I felt slightly better and then we all went back to the hall to listen to the Christmas msg by a guest preacher.
After the service, I talked to Teddy for a while and then he told me that Yennie and Mike had gone to Chicago to visit Yennie's family. During lunch, another ex-boyfriend of mine, Brian Khoo introduced me to his girlfriend, Caryn (or rather, ex-girlfriend, as they have broken up but remained as friends). She was really sweet and pretty... but sadly, she dumped Brian cuz she didn't love him anymore. After lunch, I called Brandon and we talked for a while. And then I went back to the hall and took pics with Calista and Bridget... ^_^
My cousin, Nicole introduced me to her 2 friends that she brought to church today, Andy and Joe. Andy is 26 years old and Joe is 31 years old... but Joe looked even younger than Andy, not to mention cuter... hehehe... they were both good-looking actually... ;D Then the 5 of us: me, Nicole, Andy, Bridget and Benedict (Bridget's brother) went to 1-Utama to watch King Kong but the tickets were sold out so we watched A Chinese Tall Story instead. The movie was okie to me but Andy and Nicole fell asleep in the cinema! >.<
Andy was really nice and friendly... he works in Uptown (near my college) and he suggested that we have lunch together some time... =)
After the movie, Nicole and I went to Aunty Cathy's place. Aunty Theresa (Nicole's mom) and Jessica (Aunty Cathy's daughter) were there too. Jessica (27 years old) is married, btw... her hubby, Daniel (26 years old) was there too. Aunty Cathy told me that Daniel talked to Eric about what happened (cuz Daniel had always been close to Eric) and apparently, Eric didn't wanna turn up cuz everybody in church, esp my parents and my relatives, treated him so good... like family... and he felt bad cuz my family was so good to him even after we broke up.
Aunty Cathy, Aunty Theresa, Jessica, Nicole and I had a heart to heart talk about boys, family, etc. Mostly girl stuff... ;D And then we had dinner together... and talked more about boys... hehehe... Nicole said she would intro me to some of her leng chai friends... hahaha...
When Nicole was sending me home, we talked about advertising (she's an Account Manager at Lowe & Partners but she's going back to BBDO next year). I really admire her cuz she's so smart, beautiful and has a great personality. She's 23 years old, btw... and she had dated countless of guys. She advised me to know more guys before settling down for one guy... *shrugs* No comment on that... =P
